So the only game that fans were "hyped to the hilt" over the internet was Killzone was it?  That was your statement quoted above.  If you believe that to still be true please tell me how GT5 and GOW3 weren't hyped heavily let alone Uncharted 2 which you clearly don't think was (which is crazy).  Some of you people have very short memories.

nah you're just exaggerating

 

Uncharted 2 wasn't "hyped to the hilt". I would even say that Uncharted 2 was hyped more AFTER it's release lol

 

man everybody was waiting on Killzone 2. That game was supposed to be the "Halo" on ps3. Killzone 2 had a lot to live up to. I dont remember that many people waiting on Uncharted 2 the way people were waiting for Killzone 2's release. Killzone 2 was supposed to be THAT game. Uncharted 2 came more as a shock to people(Demons souls did aswell that year).

 

GT5 and GOW3 had more hype than Uncharted 2. GT5 was the closest to Killzone 2 so i guess i can see why you would consider that as also being" hyped to the hilt" aswell but i would still say that Killzone 2 had the biggest hype around it ESPECIALLY at a time when PS3 didn't have that many exclusives

On that at least I can definitely agree, I think it was the entire 3 year build up after the CGI rendering.  I remember the comparison videos going side by side as people tried to judge if they hit their target (which they did imo).  Back in the good old days before the sales trends settled down when a good exclusive or price cut could make big differences.  As for me exaggerating, I suspect it had soimething to do with being grumpy having being working all weekend putting xmas decorations up inside and outside of the house.
