Wake me up when the KillZone franchise ...

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? Maybe. (fix'd)

A better franchise? Not even in the same galaxy.

 

You're just as bad as the guy that wrote the article in the OP.  Every bullet point you listed is nothing more than marketing, and is no gauge whatsoever of the quality of the game.  All it shows is how much Microsoft spent on advertising.

You're just as bad as madskillz if you didn't buy the Killzone novels, eat the Killzone burget whilst slurping on the Killzone variant of rasberry soda as you watched the Killzone coloured nascar race round the track in circles.

 

 

 

Advertising WON'T make people play the game to the tune of a billion...any fool should be able to see that...
