1. Everything said about Killzone2 has been said in some places it is 'almost' as good. and in some places 'it's better'
2. If it looks half as good as the E3 trailer 2005. It will blow the 360 out of the water graphically.
3. If it looks 2/3rd as good as the E3 trailer 2005. There goes any concept the 360 have NEAR as much power.
4. If it looks damn near as good as the E3 trailer 2005... wow.
5. Motorstorm, LAIR, Resistance, Heavenly Sword.
6. Darc Requiem - That's a funny post you have there. However make a post like that about nitendo for me. I'd love to see how you word it.
Kwaad you are delusional. That is about as nice as I can put it. I mean Motorstorm doesn't come close to the CGI Sony pawned of as representative of the PS3's power back during E3 05. Thats why Sony has been playing hide and seek with Killzone 2, they don't want to be called on their BS yet again. In fact, here is a link showing both the E3 2005 footage and the actual game footage.

As for you request in number 6, Yamauchi quotes were hilarious without translation. As was Nintendo's ridiculous stance when it came to on-line play on Gamecube.
Staticneuron if KZ2 turns out like Motorstorm it would hardly be an example of impressive graphics. Motorstorm was supposed be game that looked like it couldn't be done on 360. Motorstorm at 30FPS in 720p is hardly beyond the capabilities of the 360.
Also, you have composed a nice list, but just because the game was published by Sony does not make it a bankable franchise. For example Nintendo published Excite Truck and MS published Ninety Nine Nights and I wouldn't call either of those bankable franchises. I mean Sony's entire sports lineup is a joke. Placing those games and dead IPs like Jet Moto in your list is just padding plain and simple. Should I put Kid Icarus and Star Tropics on a similar list for Nintendo? No. While I wouldn't mind playing a new Kid Icarus there hasn't been a game released in franchise for ages. The same goes for Star Tropics. ICO should be a bankable franchise but like Okami and Viewtiful Joe for that matter, it didn't sell as well as it should. God of War and Gran Turismo on PS3 would get people out to retailers to fork over their $600 on the other hand. I shouldn't have said bankable franchises, I should have said Killer Apps but that didn't seem like something Phil Harrison would say Still 66 bankable franchises is a huge stretch Staticneuron.
