Killzone hype/expectations explained.

[Caey]

Indeed overhyped, the worst thing is that the developers actually did nothing at all to hype it. Yet Sony and the media did.
So if i comes out this year you can expect it will be compared screen by screen with the famous E3-trailer. So the graphics will be percieved bad anyway.
I think it will just be another good game, but it will be blown away because too much people expected too much of it.
Same thing for Lair.

Look on the other side: Halo. People expect it to be good, but there isn't a hype surrounding it. No-one expects it to be 'the greatest thing ever', or the most beatifull XBox 360 game. It just has to be better then Halo 2, and everyone will be happy. Same thing for Metroid en Mario Galaxy.

Now for the reference text out of the first post: you mention it as 'a great write up', i won't ask myself what it tells about you like the others do. (your signature shows up everywhere on this site, and your 'writings' speak for themselves)
But look at what the article says: it will look better then the E3 demo, maybe not like we expect it. The writer is excited about KillZone and it has to deliver and will so because there is a giand budget and team behind it. And then he says Jurrasic Park wouldn't be the same without the sound effects. (what horror movie does?)
And the some tech stuff and some more great effects like light shining trough bullet holes, like in Red Steel (Wii).
And that's what you call a 'great write up'. I think the PS3 failed because too much people like you are working for Sony.

That was rude, i know.
