Forums - Microsoft - X360 Triple threat of GTA4 DLC, Star Ocean 4, Halo Wars vs KZ2

MontanaHatchet on 25 January 2009

So an RTS, a JRPG, and a downloadable content pack, versus...quite possibly the most hyped PS3 game to date? Star Ocean 4 would be lucky to hit a million, and calling the DLC pack a game or anything close to it is pathetic. It's not like either would be in competition with Killzone 2 anyways even if they were significant. Halo Wars could be a decent threat, but Sony had much more deadly titles in holiday season '08 and they fell flat on their faces. And Microsoft comes around with their niche games and they think they're a threat to Killzone 2?

@montana

but the thing is Killzone 2 isn't that hyped.

not as much as MGS4, GTA 4 or even LBP was

the mass audience doesn't know or care about it

 Well the Lost and damned DLC is considered a expansion. Its digitally distributed, but its a legit 10 hour expansion, and thus deserves to be called a game.

Halo Wars is a toss up as it is a rts but well see just how much the game can coast on the Halo brand. If its a great game, then all the better.

Just saying even though DLC and a rts isnt in competition with KZ2, the "name" GTA and Halo might impact KZ2s success.

 I remeber all the PS3 fanboys keep saying all the 360 has is FPS. Now the system has diversity and you call them niche titles. Haha, you are funny man. Well, guess what? KZ2 is a FPS... A niche game is LBP.

 True, but Killzone 2 is a full blood FPS. If it wasn't for SO4 and RE5, I'd be getting it first week.

Are you implying that the great Montana is a PS fanboy?

I see a bit of a contradiction there, you say Halo Wars could be a threat but then you say it's niche.

Umm, it doesn't matter. The 360 has always had diversity just like any other system, even from its launch. Just because the titles are diversified doesn't mean they're popular or are going to be popular. Shooters, Racers, and Platformers are big genres. RTSs, JRPGs, and random downloadable content packs that aren't actually games are not. You're funny. Killzone 2 is an FPS, I'm glad you're able to recognize genres. I suppose you should get a cookie, considering your kinds words as well.

P.S. Whatever happened to Ninja Blade? Is that no longer a threatening title now that everyone knows it will be average?

NJ5: Umm, no. That's why I used the word "could." It's a game in a niche genre but it's definitely a big series. We can only wait and see.
