Couldn't have said it better myself, all LBP commercials fucking sucked and I didn't see them nearly enough, why couldn't they put some huge Sackboy at TRU and have the game in front of the store? Special Edition with plush Sackboy and Sackgirl? Plenty of (creative and better) commercials on casual networks and during prime time? Crap, why couldn't they have a demo ready on PSN and have told TRU, Best Buy, Gamestop etc to put it on their kiosks? LBP was handled horribly, I'm hoping word of mouth will help that game.

Back to Killzone 2, it needs to be on the Serra - GSP UFC in February, it needs to have a special edition, it needs all this marketing, this game really is special and word of mouth will help it sell games, but it also needs to grab some casuals out there first, then after that they will tell their friends who will also pick up the game. I have no faith in Sony to market this properly, but I'm hoping for the best.

After you play this puppy, all your fears will be put to rest. trust me on this.

This is the best FPS I have ever played (sorry CoD4), and this is from a guy that didn't really enjoy Killzone 1 and had to force myself to play through that.

I must also say sorry Uncharted and Gears 2, you are not the king of graphics on consoles anymore. This game looks absolutely stunning and looks much better on your TV then on the videos that you see online.

One thing I kinda wish for, and sorry about this Sony fans, is that this game was 360 exclusive and published by MS. Allow me to explan, Sony back in the PS1 and PS2 days had some sweet commercials and marketing, nowadays all we see is crap marketing, maybe it's because they can't spend too much money right now since they aren't making any, but over the past couple of years, MS marketing has been tremendous, I really feel if this game was on the 360 and exclusive with MS marketing power, it could sell 7 or 8+ mil, easy. It's that good. Now with a smaller install base that is the PS3 and with Sony's retarded marketing team, we must settle for maybe 3 mil, 4 if we're lucky.

I was sketchy about this title, but now am picking it up day 1, might even pre order it, and I haven't pre ordered a game since Zelda TWW just so I could get OOT on the GC disk.

Congrats GG, here's hoping the SP is as good as the MP.

You mean BJ penn - GSP fight in February. If Sony is REALLY serious about KZ2, they'd have a good commercial on the Superbowl (not going to happen). Maybe a mixed commercial with KZ2 headlining a number of games.

pretty much true. R2 may have sold much better if the campaign we're a bigger focus. Multiplayer focused games seems to do better for PC, console gamers want a really good campaign mode. Regardless, the AI looks pretty good based on the videos, we've seen Helghasts change positioning based on what cover they have to work with.

In terms of campaign mode, I'd say most the pieces are already there.

Good graphics/art design, engaging and dynamic combat, great animation/cut scenes, unique characters, good setting, and good story material.

The only thing left (which are 2 huge factors in single player) are level design, and action pacing. Things that Gears of War exceled at. If the level designs are shit and if the pacing is off, the campaign will suck, regardless of the graphics, world, and story.
