@Johnsobas- Killzone exists to be Sony's huge exclusive shooter, so when they failed to properly advertise it much in the same way Microsoft does with Gears... it was confusing to me.
The game needed way more mainstream hype than it received.
Also, I think it needed to release Killzone 2 in the holiday season, the whole situation may have been carried out the way it was in order to build a first round of Killzone fans on the PS3. There were virtually no fans of the original Killzone, so 2 had to create an entire new following from practically nothing.
With Sony's rejuvenated sense of marketing since the Slim launch, one would hope that such an attitude would carry over until the release of Killzone 3, which could and should be the equivalent of Gears or Halo for Sony. They need to create a mega shooter franchise that is exclusive, because the fanbase IS there.
They need to release it in the prime time of a holiday season. If a COD is releasing in the same time, then Sony can try and avoid it by some time but they must not deviate from the Holiday season in favor of the following year.
SO
Sony must release Killzone 3 Holiday 2010, or wait all the way until Holiday 2011. They must go for the throat of all competition. Other games will re-schedule their launches around Killzone 3.
They need to spend 20 times the amount of marketing on Killzone 3, then they did on Killzone 2.
on another completely different topic; I expect the agent to get a LOT of publicity and be much much bugger than anyone expects. This game can and should co-exist during the same holiday release window as Killzone 3. Both games will do 4 million +
you heard it hear first!
