Curious what is going on here. Killzone 2 nearly locked down and dominated discussion on this website's discussion forums a few years back. Now, it is like Killzone 3 is just another FPS release coming out, important mainly due to it being a PS3 exclusive. It seems far more subdued, and not a major place to argue. Not a lot of post after post regarding it. Any idea why?

The answer is simple - it doesn't need the same push that KZ2 did and the world is a slightly different place now. Considering how much complaining there was about the forums being flooded with KZ2 "stuff", I'm happy the hype has been moderate, so we don't have to hear said complaining.
Also, exclusives are hyped as important regardless of the platform. This doesn't just happen with PS3-only titles.

No, but it happened more frequently with PS3 only titles.
PS3 only titles and Wii "Hardcore" titles mostly.

We're speaking currently. It happens all over. If anything, recently, I've seen it coming more from the Nintendo side. Not that I'm complaining - I see little wrong with hyping up exclusive titles.

Oh, I agree currently it happens most from the Nintendo side... and it's fairly obvious why. While still strong, the Wii's position isn't as strong as it was... and still has some third party issues.
PS3 hyping is down because the PS3 is actualy competing pretty well vs the 360 now and has some exclusives that set it apart.
360 hyping isn't up because we have almost no 360 fans on the site.
Hyping often is going to be releated to outside factors beyond just the game itself.
