Serves 1 billion customers Gets Pepsi-Cola created a variant of one of their drinks for the game Has 7-Eleven sell KillZone Slurpees When Burger King has special promotions featuring Helghast and KillZone designs and/or logos Appears in a NASCAR race - a KillZone inspired paintjob Has its main theme song as a downloadable track on Guitar Hero or Rock Band Gets at least 6 novels and a couple graphic novels And even has political pundits like Keith Olbermann talking about it as his top story Gets $300M first week sales Until then, after playing it several hours and earning trophies, it's an awesome game, but why compare it to a game that came out nearly 2 years ago? I would hope it did better - but still - it may (I was blinded by fanboy bias in the *writer's* comparison post) outpace it but KillZone will never, ever have that kind of following. A better game? Yeah - it's had much more time to get it polished and the like. A better franchise? Not even in the same galaxy. |
I guess you didn't know the Halo 3 was in development since the original Xbox days. Killzone 2 was in development for 3.5 years (2 of those years were full scale production). In other words, they both have been in development for about the same amount of time.
