Forums - Gaming - Can resistance 2 be "sonys halo?"

Well if it starts in my country (belgium), I'll buy it lol! But the question is if it can be the "ps3 halo"...

Well I don't think that ps3 players are a lot into FPS but the first teaser showed a very impressive game and the online mode could be awesome so, why not? Moreover, halo 3 had pretty bad reviews in france and belgium ...

Of course, but FM2 was over a million BEFORE being bundled, and thats without being a launch game...........

Resistance was over a million before being bundled.......................


Without being a launch game.....................?

It's not about winning or losing, its how you play the game.  And I played dirty

I seriously think Resistance 2 will be a great game, better than the first one.  But I don't think it will be as good as Halo, or have a Halo-like effect.  I also don't think it will have a significant effect on console sales, it is not a system seller.  I'll almost certainly pick the game up when i get a PS3, I just won't pick the PS3 up for this game.

how is it possible that a sequel to the only good ps3 game(i don't say it is the only-one-good-ps3game but that this game was only-good not great) could be a system seller?! 90% of sales will be generated by people who owns resistance 1 and ps3. beside how a sequel to the ps3 game can be "sonys halo"? resistance should be considered as a "sonys halo"(well we know it isn't). if i remember killzone was the game that supose to be "sonys halo"?

Lulz

You don't understand the question... I believe.

He was comparing Resistance sales in "Others" to Halo sales in "Others"

So would Resistance 2 continue the trend and outsell Halo in "Others"

I love it when people come into threads and haven't a clue what they're speaking on.

People are forgetting that, to this point, no Halo has received heavy bundling in others on either Xbox or Xbox 360.  Resistance was HEAVILY bundled by Sony with the PAL "starter pack."  I don't need to remind any of the Sony fanboys how well that sold.  I still remember all the ZOMFG LOOK AT DA POWERZ OF DA CELLZ IN DA PALS WITH DA STARTERZZZZ.

Well you guys can't have it both ways.  You can't say the game sold itself on high quality AND say that bundles shift PS3 units. 

 


What are you talking about?

Halo 2 was bundled with the Xbox in the EU for well over a year. I know that for a fact because I was thinking of buying a Xbox for a long period of time and kept track of the bundles.

I eventually picked up an Xbox with Halo 2, PGR2 and DOA3 all bundled.

Officially?  If thats the case then I certainly wasn't aware of it.  Still, the case holds for Halo, which is being discussed here, and Halo 3, Resistance's next gen equivelant.

Perhaps not officially, but every game shop and retailer selling Xbox's had Halo 2 bundled with it at the time.

I was effectively far more bundled than Resistance: FOM ever was.

Just because it wasn't 'official' doesn't mean it wasn't as heavily bundled.

Edit: Halo 1 was also extensively bundled in the EU before, and even after the release of Halo 2. Here's an example of a bundle with Halo 1 being offered at the time: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Four-Game-Xbox-Bundle-Console/dp/B0001VSC6W

 



 

No it wont
Halo made it's start on the Xbox 1 so it had a fan base of xbox people allready. So they bought the x360 to get the new halo.
Resistance started on the PS3 anyone who likes it allready has a PS3 and wont need to buy new hardware so it will have good software sales but hardware wont be as good as the Halo launch on the 360.
Grand tourismo is sonys equivelant to halo and it does not deliver in my opinion due to the following
NO damage
NO Motion steering ( wasnt this meant to be the Next Gen Feature of the PS3/sixaxis )
Instead of listening to people and giving them these things they spent all their time on a feature no one can care less about - moddeling the interior dashboard totally irrelevant -polyphony/sony are idiots.



PS3 number 1 fan

No, in short the PS3 is not an FPS box like the 360. It will have good sales however.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

If you mean "Sony's Halo" as in, exclusive popular flagship FPS game, then yes.
But if you mean "Sony's Halo" as in 6+ million seller phenomenon, then probably no.

PS3 Dominationzzz with GTA 4, MGS 4, Resistance 2, Kill Zone 2, FFXIII and GT 5.

As a true PS2 fan, and an objective PS3 fan, I can tell you. The only games I, as a core gamer, care about in that list, are MGS4 and FFXIII.

 

GT5, I can also accept.

 

.....but the rest....come on....buy a 360 in your in to that kinda grabage, imo.
