They were not first party 6 months before they released Killzone. Killzone Liberation did well. At that time they were first party. I think guirillia has learned much from Sony over the last years. I'm not assuming it will be a Halo 3 beater, but it will meet Resistence FOM reviews degree.

The reason its so hyped is because of Sony. CG trailer plus fanboy dreams leads to high expectations for a mediocre franchise. And dot give me this PSP Killzone is "great" crap, its reviews were average and a completely different type of game.

 graphics and art direction in the game very good, its the technical issues that ruined it.

 PSP killzoze shows Guerila can make a good game, the reviews were actually pretty damn good.  9 from ign is not average.

 ty for telling him that for me 

Don't you need sequels in order to proclaim something a "franchise?"

I wasnt aware people took IGNs reviews seriously. It has a 79.7% at gamerankings. Just for the record Killzone PS2 had 73.2%, so it did improve, but not enough to justify the hype for 3.

The game did have excellent art direction, but is that really enough to save a developer who cant impliment jumping in an FPS? Please refrain from this "technical limitation" bullshit yet plenty of developers made amazing games within the confines of the PS2. Perhaps the developer just cant make a game to go along with their vision. And if they overshot things on the PS2, whos to say they wont do the same on the PS3?

Like I said, this is all sony generated hype - what other game sees this much excitment when its only had a fake CGI trailer released?

Guerilla Games was still independent when they made Killzone. Now that they were acquired by Sony, Sony will have more of a say for this title.

But is more say from Sony actually a good thing? All they have been saying lately is crap.

When it comes to their games? Not really.

Now Guerilla games has a bigger pocketbook, so they should be able to do more.

I think the reason that it is really being hyped is that trailer. Although target footage, we know how close motorstorm got to its target footage, so maybe they think that this can reach it to. Also, we know Sony are putting everything that they can into this game, since it is their only 1st party FPS. Also given what we've seen of the other 1st party games, maybe people think that they will manage to create an incredible game, like Uncharted.
