Why everyone thinks Killzone 2 will be huge?

Killzone 2 is probably one of the most impressive titles I have seen on the Playstation 3. The gameplay is amazing and the storyline really adapts with the game. The graphics are like something I've never seen before. This game has huge potential and high expectations. It will still have some great first week sales.

 

Ok, Sony fans, newsflash. Saying stuff like this about an upcoming title is unnecessary, even if you believe it. You don't know how this game will turn out anymore than you knew how Resistance 2, Lair, or Haze would turn out, beta, demo, or nothing. Nobody does. Unbiased sources don't know.

You know why you shouldn't hype games that much? Because if that title comes out and sucks, or sells poorly, or even if it isn't a fantastic AAA game, or ANYTHING like that, Sony haters are going to own you. They'll own you hard. They'll own you so hard, you'll be embarassed to bring the game up again.

Now, what do you gain for saying stuff like this? Hype? Hype for a PS3 exclusive? Yeah, there isn't enough of that going on around here. There has never, ever, been a PS3 exclusive that wasn't overhyped in several areas, be them quality, sales, importance, hwmovement ability, graphics, ect.

If, after all this with R2, LBP, and the PS3 in general, you don't understand why it's not a good idea to guarntee a game will be great and sell great, and that it's the best shit since sliced bread, then there is no helping you.

 

Alan Wake, for instance. I'm really excited about the game. However, I'm not gonna come out and say, "best shit ever, sells like hotcakes" because I don't know if that will be true, and if it is, I gain nothing, if it's not I get OWNED and my favorite consoles suffer for it.

So, why, for God's sake, would you hype, hype, hype another exclusive at this time? Not just hype but now, KZ2 is guarnteed to be better than any other shooter, and it's a console mover...despite being of the same genre, released in a less purchase heavy timeframe, and having less hype.
