Forums - Gaming - PS3 exclusive Killzone 2 hits #2 on Amazon's pre-order list

RED53DEVILS on 25 January 2009

Killzone 2 has long been the center of a lot of attention by hardcore PS3 fans for it's ultra-realistic graphics and deep multi-player gameplay. However, the title's popularity even among the masses is becoming increasingly more obvious. Amazon just announced earlier today that Killzone 2 was the number one most pre-ordered PS3 game and the #2 most pre-ordered video game total. This puts it above other various blockbuster releases due out soon, including Street Fighter IV(PS3/360 - #8), Halo Wars(360 - #7), and even Capcom's highly anticipated Resident Evil 5(PS3/360 - #4).

Killzone 2 is surpassed only by Mario Power Tennis, which is due out for the Wii in March.

Killzone 2 is a first person shooter and sequel to the 2004 title of the same name. Developed by Guerilla Games exclusively for the PS3, Killzone 2 will hit shelves late in February, on the 27th.

I find it amazing that of all games to beat the massive hype train and rabid following of Killzone 2, it was a retooling of a Gamecube game for Wii.

Wow! No one has said Amazon is no indication of sales yet?

Anyways, for what it is, good to see a sign of hope for K2 sales.

It's not surprising given the time of year and game release schedule.

Well yeah, the production values definitely put it in the forefront. It's a heavily advertised game that people have been waiting years to play. On top of that, it's a shooter, which puts it in the hardcore crowd, a group notorious for pre-ordering.

If RE5 wasn't dual platform, it would be right at the top. Really, this isn't any kind of indicator of how the game will do (it's currently down to third on the list behind a Sims game and Pokemon).

While I think KZ2 will enjoy strong sales (think Mass Effect), I don't see it lighting up the world. And basing any kind of opinion from an Amazon preorder list is just silly.

i dont find it amazing at all... as a previous wii owner (i sold it and got myself a 360) first party games are the best ones on the system
