If it is a ps4 launch title then yes, it could be. Graphically, Killzone 2 and 3 are proabably the best looking console games this gen. I expect Killzone 4 to have the same graphic fidelity. Although you never know, look what happened with Halo 4.

Oh? What did happen to halo 4?

What is that supposed to mean?

The number of people online in Halo 4 is abysmal and dropping every day. 343 industries definitly missed the mark with the multiplayer and even the spartan ops is average.

Killzone 2 deserved 4 times the sales it got. Like with many sony games, it never got the marketing it deserved. Btw the game was too hardcore I reckon, the heavy controls made many complain.


I love that sentence. I really do.

"I think the controls suck."
"No, the game is too hardcore for you!"

Awesome.

he's saying it isn't a twitchy shooter like COD.  Your character moves more realistically as opposed to sprinting around at 100mph and lining up his sights in a millisecond after leaping tall buildings in a single bound.  This goes against what people expect in a shooter today so they view it as slow and boring many times.

Frankly, Killzone 2's character movement and aiming were no more realistic than COD, unless I was supposed to be playing an overweight drunk. I'm sure real soldiers don't have as much weighty inertia. I don't and I'm far from a soldier.

that's a gross exagerration.  Besides Killzone takes place on a different planet maybe the gravity is stronger.

Nothing happened to Halo 4, i go online and i see lots of people online all the time.

Plus if the online is getting lower why is the sales still going up??.

Now whats worrying is that all the Killzone games together has not even sold as much as Halo 4 did, Does killzone 3 online even have 40K people online at a time??? (does it still even have people online??)

Of course it has people online, what a stupid thing to say. The sales of Halo 4 are not going up at all I don't know where you are pulling that out of. I presented the stats to you and you still don't believe them. Anyways, this is a thread about Killzone.

The Killzone franchise will never be as popular as COD or Halo but that is Sony's fault. The MP in Killzone 3 is spectacular and I hope they have a killzone available at launch for the PS4.

You used the word "abysmal" too liberally. By contrast, Killzone must be a train wreck in all aspects if you think halo is "abysmal", given how its the #3 most played 360 game in 2012.

Halo 4 is still selling on par with the 2 CODs in January so dont know where your getting that from. Thinking KZ multiplayer is spectacular?.......thats where your opinion just trails off in obscurity.

I dont think it will happen. Too many exclsuives. Modern warfare become so big because it was one of the first next gen games, in a time when not much software arrive and get this pouplar because of mass bundling too, plus Modern Warfare was a quality game at the time it was released.

Resistance launched with the ps3 and it became a flop.

The first one was huge but R2 blew it by being terrible and changing everything people liked about FOM to be more like halo.

I don't understand what that has to do with this thread though. 

Not to mention it's still the second or third most popular game on XBL.

No, simply because Killzone isn't targeted towards all gamers. Call of Duty has smooth and quick controls which makes it an easy game to pick up and play. You get good with very little experience.

The Killzone series on the other hand has sluggish controls and your character doesn't move around as smoothly, it's more realistic. Look at the Battlefield series. Bad Company 2 barely managed 3 mill units on both PS3 and Xbox 360. When Battlefield 3 came out they made the movement much more quick and less sluggish feeling and it sold over 10 million units. Why do you think they are making Battlefield 4 instead of Bad Company 3?

Lastly, Activison markets the shit out of Call of Duty. Sony does not focus on marketing a single game heavily and then just hoping that the other games they publish sell enough to at least make a profit. What other games do you know from Activison other than CoD and the Spyro game that sell well and are popular. Spyro is only popular because it's been well known for many many years and Call of Duty is popular because of the small barrier of entry for new gamers as well as the marketing for the game and brand name.

In short, Killzone will never be as popular as Call of Duty in terms of sales. Sure it might be better, but nowhere near the level of Call of Duty in terms of recognition. Sony just isn't willing to solely focus on one franchise and then leave out all the others in hopes that they just make a small profit.
