Lol, man the Conduit has Nintendo haters upset. Questionability of Killzone 2 and Too Human are well established. The fact that the Conduit is presented bolded and given the nature of the OP it is pretty obvious this is simply an exercise in lashing out at a game that has several news items on the website.

In fact, neither too human nor Killzone 2 are exclusively forum hyped games, the only game that meets that classification is The Conduit. Why must you all be so bitter about the Conduit?

Aren't all games exclusively hyped on forums until a few weeks or so before the game comes out?

 

Both Too Human and Killzone 2 have both been heavily hyped in magazines and gamestop stores for quite a while now.

Even then, to bring up this point questions the validity of the OP more so than my response to the thread.

Killzone2 begs to disagree, so do Halo 2 and 3 for that matter.

d: none of the above.

Hmmm I played the Too Human Demo and I know there are some control issues, but with a bit more time into the game I think it will be better. FACT: I loved the demo

I also loved Killzone on the PS2 and I think Killzone 2 will be a good shooter.

Sales wise I have no idea



I don't think it will be the conduit.

It may be a generic FPS by PS360 owners, but The Wii doesn't have any generic FPSs. Critically, it may not do well, but commercially, Wii owners are starved for FPSs. And one that looks good (For the Wii), and has online will get an automatic pass for Wii only owners. For people like me with a Wii and a HD console, maybe not, but I know a few Wii only owners who are hyped for a shooter to no end.

I'll say Too human though.

The game comes out in 1 month, and I don't see any ads for it, no commercial or nothing. Hype is low, and the demo impressions are bad.

Killzone 2 will be the best of that bunch.

Every preview is positive, nothing bad is said about the A.I. (which plagued the first game), it's been called generic by FPS standards, but we've only ever seen one stage of the game, so who knows if that's true or not. But Guerilla has said that there are going to be lots of variation in stages.

Sucky AI and then outsourcing AI, lol...

So far I think that Too Human will be the big looser this time...

Actually, the impressions of the demo have actually been fairly decent.  Not sure which ones you have read.  I played the demo, and it was alright.



The Conduit is hyped? I know it gets talked about around here but wow, reaching much? Outside of IGN no site has, until recently, even acknowledged this game. On the other hand, Too Human has about a decade of history behind it in the hype department and Killzone was getting hyped since 2005.

That said I would bet on Killzone. With an epic budget and and a poor history, it has the most stacked against it. The Conduit probably won't make a big splash but it's getting good impressions and would have to try hard to flop (by realistic measures, not fanboy measures). I'd say Too Human is smack in the middle though.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Using the list provided, I would say Too Human because it just seems to have a bad vibe around it.

I think Conduit will surprise because it fills a need on the Wii -- if it is any good at all.

I am not sure what to make of Killzone.

Interesting, I tried a similar topic to this a while back and had few takers.

I do know that some very hyped games on all consoles will fail to sell -- either because of poor quality or missing the market.
