Forums - Sony Discussion - Will Killzone 2 suffer as Resistance 2 has? Prediction thread.

I hope it does well, this is one of the few console FPS that I am even remotely interested in, though I admit a large part of this is due to forum hype. I've never gotten into a console FPS since goldeneye.




Around the Network

First week: 800K

First Year: 3.5M

Lifetime: 4.25M

Reasons: I think it will be a critical success, 90%+. It should have a big marketing push (which resistance didn't get). It has been hyped for ages.

Just watching Playr on TV. Killzone campaign review (6 of 10 levels). Some points....

In development for over 4 years and it shows... looks very good indeed.

Standard gameplay although Sixasis integration better than most... e.g. must hold Sixaxis very steady when sniping.

Conclusion seems to be a superb first person shooter... nothing new... just very well done. So if you dont like fps this wont move you but if you do like the genre you will love it.

I wil pre-order this.

Like I said above... if this doesnt do big numbers then the PS3 just wont get any more 3rd party exclusive big guns... KZ2 must be one of the most expensive games ever,

Cause you work for Guerilla right?

You have no idea how much it costs.



it has no competition for the month unlike R2 and there is no gears2 to shadow its launch, but most of the fps loving crowd is already on 360. i think 500k day 1, 800 first week and 3.5Mill life time, because i believe it will be similar to metal gear but not bigger.

If KZ2 isn't huge (sales wise) then what will that mean for future third party blockbuster exclusives on the PS3?

KZ2 is first party.

Whether it is 1st or 3rd party isnt my point.....  if KZ2 doesnt move big numbers it will scare any developer away from PS3 exclusives.

And now you're a developer.

My word, you're a jack of all trades.

I think, being a little more pendantic, that if KZ2 doesn't do very well it would make 3rd party exclusive FPS/Shooters on PS3 unlikely.  But to be honest, Halo/Gears apart, if I was 3rd party I wouldn't even go exclusive on 360.  COD, etc. shows that, for a little more money to cover both, you get more than enough extra sales to make it worth your while.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

As said earlier, it depends if it's well advertised or not. If it isn't, like R2 then it will probably do the same score. If it is, like Gears 2, then we should have some good surprise.



Hmmm, I Think 500,000 first week WW, And The legs will be great. Hopefully about 3 Million LTD



ut as far as im concerned I don't care about sales/Reviews for KZ2. I just want the game (And hopefully sony at least break even)
