| Michael-5 said: Killzone 3 is selling well for a PS3 exclusive. If you're asking why Killzone 3 sales aren't as strong as Halo, Call of Duty, or Gears of War it's because it doesn't have as strong of a multiplayer component. Multiplayer is fun, but there is nothing really bringing you back into the game. Resident Evil 5 sold well despite having poor multiplayer because of the strong label Resident Evil 4 laid. Also Killzone doesn't have as epic of a story arc as other Sci-Fi shooters like Halo, Gears of War, or Resident Evil. The events in Killzone 3 are much more loosly tied to the events in other Killzones compared to the other mentioned sci fi shooters. So.. 1. Not as addicitve multiplayer as compeditors 2. Not the king of multiplayer games, so it's forgotten quickly since everyone else is playing Call of Duty. 3. Not so massive story arc. |
I would disagree with that. Multiplayer is very good in KZ3. The reason it doesn't sell as well as Halo or Gears is because it the hype machine isn't their for it. Xbox owners are quick to pick up any crap game which is why most games sell more on the 360 vs. the PS3. PS3 fans are generally more select in their purchases. For me, I don't like any of the Halo games, none of the Gears games and none of the Call of Duty games.Resident Evil was also a horrible game. To me the controls were crap and the overall gameplay wasn't fun. Same goes for Socom series on PS3 Unreal Tournament etc. Really the only good FPS on the PS3 are KZ and Resistance. Warhawk and Uncharted take the crown for 3rd person. I still play KZ2, Warhawk, KZ3 and Uncharted 2 online.
