Ahahah

Oh, and don't you always rag on Halo 3 for being mediocre? Well, if we are to follow the logic you present here, then that games first day sales mean it must be one of the greatest games ever produced.

Also, Daikatana.... Doom 3.... Trespasser... ect.

Halo 3 was not a gamble though. They knew the money would comback 10 fold. game console sales + game sales = $BIG MONEY$. Halo 3 alone is probably gonna move an extra million units.

@sieanr:

Aw, I liked Doom 3; I thought it came out pretty well. The online co-op was a great deal of fun.

Understandable. Look up Jin-Roh 

That think that pic of killzone looks better than the actual game as it actually has color. The color saturated look of the game isnt really appealing.

@eugene

Is HS dissapointment in terms of Quality?
Is Ratchet dissapointment in terms of Quality?
Is Uncharted dissapointment in terms of Quality?

Only Lair had some problems.
3 of 4 games Delivered. 75% is NOT bad result.

About games, in this generation, for me atleast, every 1,5h of real NEXTGEN EXPERIENCE(NOT just HD) are worth 5-7$(just like going to movie), So 6h game is worth 20-30$, 12h = 40-60$. If game has MP, it gets some bonus.

And KZ2 is in development around 3 years.

@GooseGaws:
but that it DOESN'T GUARANTEE SUCCESS.
THEN WHAT GUARANTEE???
Even proven developers can make average games, so what then???

As for the animated .gif, are you familiar with the phrase "bullshot"?
SO this "bullshot" IMPRESS you or NOT?
IF NOT, then the is nothing to talk about. IF IS, then you should be excited about this game, BECAUSE it the way it LOOKS like. It`s a NEXTGEN.
Watch Some INGAME trailers.

Ok, your right, Killzone 2 is gonna sell 50 million copies.

I agree, even proven developers can make average games. There is no guarantee of success on any project, which was my point.

I have watched the in-engine trailers, and they didn't seem significantly better than already-released titles like Gears of War or Resistance. Regardless, all the pretty graphics in the world won't save a game with boring gameplay. Nothing shown so far about the game leads me to believe that it will take the genre in interesting directions, where already-released games like Half-Life 2 and Bioshock have already made great strides.

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I'm just less likely to be excited about it due to the developer's track record, until I see more of the game than a couple of brief trailers and pretty tech demos.

Some more "bullshots":

So, Halo 3 lead FPS somehwere? But still a GOOD game. So, Gears of War Delivered, Bioshock Delivered, Halo 3 delivered, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT Killzone 2 WON`T Deliver???

Until a relatively final build of the game exists, I take screenshots and trailers with a grain of salt. That goes for any game, not just this one. I've been disappointed too many times in the past to expect otherwise.
