I don't know bro, I have a feeling Sony isn't going to mess up on this one. From all the hype, they have more fuel backing this title than any other title they've put out this whole gen to date. This could finally be the game that Sony realizes is ready to compete with the big dogs!! Next up: Gran Turismo 5 - talk about fuel behind a title!!!

They decided to move Killzone 2 out of the holidays to give Resistance 2 the room to outsell Gears 2. Even before it moved, Scott Steinberg(VP of marketing) associated Resistance 2 with being their top tier shooter of the year, even going so far as to mention Killzone 2 as another great game. If they weren't willing to put the muscle behind the game they were going "toe-to-toe" against Gears 2 with, why would they put it behind this other shooter?

We're coming up on a month before release. I don't see any advertising yet. If there isn't any real push in the next 10-14 days, I'm calling this another bust for Sony marketing.

 

I agree, Sony said they were going to step it up big time with the marketing for Killzone 2, so I'd really like to see what they mean by "big time", we should start seeing some adds shortly if not like you said it'll be a bust for Sonys marketing.
