Cause we all know killzone 1 wasn't. The original "halo killer" was considered by most to be second rate at best (see its 73.5% average on gamerankings) and its odd psp spin-off didn't fare much better. Not only was killzone short of being halo esque in terms of quality, it probably wasn't even in the top 5 ps2 fps titles.
Of course, saying the first game wasn't any good doesn't mean the new game will walk down the same path, but gaming has changed since the fall of 2004. Halo may still be top dog for some, but the market is so flooded that it's becoming harder and harder for an fps title to really stand out. And the fact is gamers have had to wait a long time for this game. It's very likely that killzone will appear in it's 3rd E3 in 4 years (do to its rather odd absence from E3 2006) before hitting stores in, what is currently listed as, Q3 08.
So, will killzone 2 be any good? And if yes, do you really care since there are already so many other good shooters on the market?
