Unless this game makes it into the top 5 games of ALL TIME on Metacritic, then no. It will not be all it is hyped up to be.

no one is hyping it that much. The most i've seen it hyped as was 90+% and probably the best looking game on consoles when it gets released

SONY is hyping it that much.

This game is Sony's Fable 1.  If possible, they are hyping KZ2 worse than Moylneux did F1.

Didn't you make a thread about how Sony and GG had not talked about Killzone 2 for ages? And now you are saying that they are hyping it more than Moylneux hyped Fable? 

Edit: Here is the thread you made: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=18500 

So which is it? Are Sony and GG hyping KZ2, or not?

Read the two threads.  Sony have hyped this game's graphics to the shit.  So much so that its all that gets talked about for the game (by anyone other than makingmusic, who clearly has deeper tastes).  The released a CGI trailer and lied about its origins to help foster the impression that this game's graphics will be the second coming of christ.

The problem is (as my thread points out) there seems to have been a slowdown in hype from Sony.  Of course graphics whores and those few people that genuinely believe the gameplay will be great keep the hype going.  But this is the time when other developers (Epic with Gears 2 for example) are talking non-stop about gameplay, something we are not seeing in nearly the same quantities from Guerilla or Sony.

As someone else said in this thread, a few CGI trailers and some screenshots are enough to get some people hyping a game (hell I'm like that with Versus), but when the entire hype train of a game is based around its graphics, and noone is talking about gameplay, you better hope the gameplay is just some awesome, massive and deep feature Sony simply forgot to talk about.  No matter what the excuse (Resistance 2 bla bla bla), I think the fact this game got pushed to February is HIGHLY suspect.

 

 

I have a feeling E3 will be all about the multiplayer, along with a beta announcement.

They have talked about the gameplay somewhat, in regards to the cover system, etc., but I agree that details in regards to the larger scope of things have been somewhat lacking (for example, what role will weather play in the game?  Is it just limited to things like the arc tower, or are there bigger things in the works?).

But yeah, the beta should answer all our questions as far as basic combat and multiplayer modes are concerned.

And there reasoning behind the delay makes sense to me.  Having Socom, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 in the market at the same time just isn't a good idea,especially with all the other shooters that will inevitably hit the market at the same time, like CoD5, etc.  They can't make Insomniac delay their game, and Socom has always been ahead of Killzone 2 development-wise (it was originally going to be out in September before it got delayed to October, and it is a PSN title in the vein of Warhawk, after all), so Killzone was really the only one they could delay.
