After playing Killzone 2 beta, I must say...

I completly agree. After getting my hands on this game at TGS I have been on the edge of my seat for this puppy.

Sony needs to pull out all the stops for this game marketing wise. I want Halo level stuff like mentioned earlier. It angers me that they make these amazing games, and they fail to market them to the potential buyers. The amount of potential profit they lose is just stagering.

1. Having a commercial that makes absolutely no sense.

2. Not showing any creativity.
or
3. Barely showing them at all.

or all of the above.

 

 

 

Couldn't have said it better myself, all LBP commercials fucking sucked and I didn't see them nearly enough, why couldn't they put some huge Sackboy at TRU and have the game in front of the store? Special Edition with plush Sackboy and Sackgirl? Plenty of (creative and better) commercials on casual networks and during prime time? Crap, why couldn't they have a demo ready on PSN and have told TRU, Best Buy, Gamestop etc to put it on their kiosks? LBP was handled horribly, I'm hoping word of mouth will help that game.

 

Back to Killzone 2, it needs to be on the Serra - GSP UFC in February, it needs to have a special edition, it needs all this marketing, this game really is special and word of mouth will help it sell games, but it also needs to grab some casuals out there first, then after that they will tell their friends who will also pick up the game. I have no faith in Sony to market this properly, but I'm hoping for the best.

wow really? I hope word of mouth travels fast. I don't remember killzone 1 being that good in sales, so I was in doubt for a bit... I still am, but just less so.

 

After you play this puppy, all your fears will be put to rest. trust me on this.

 

You mean BJ penn - GSP fight in February. If Sony is REALLY serious about KZ2, they'd have a good commercial on the Superbowl (not going to happen). Maybe a mixed commercial with KZ2 headlining a number of games.
