It woud be uber funny if the demo is released the same day as Halo 3, don't you think?

Funny and dumb. The media Blitz for Halo in its first week will be sick, so all other game news will take a backseat. Launching a demo a few weeks after is smart, because media coverage will have died down, and everyone will be looking for the next big game experience media wise (those Halo players will be doing multiplayer till Christmas).

I hope they release more information about the Multiplayer soon.


 no it would be brilliant. Halo 3 vs Killzone 2 demo (MP beta?)


Seriosuly, it would be the worst thing they could do. I'd say mid-late october would be the earliest they could do it without being torn apart by Halo. Besides, by then the sheen of the new MP in 3 will have worn off and people would already be picking it apart, highlighting its negatives.

Is there any reason you think this would be brilliant?

It's like an author releasing a book about wizards right when J.K. Rowling released Harry Potter 7. Dumb.

Ohh i dont know.

It could be like E3, Halo did not out hype Killzone.  Makes me wndoer why did MSs conferance not have way more Halo3 stuff ? fear of being out done by Killzone or Call of Duty maybe.

 Either way its not liek it can be a bad outcome, it will give the PS3 owners a reason to say Fak buying a xbox just for Halo iam waiting for Killzone.

And what did we see about halo 3 besides a trailer? Seriously, any chance it will be like killzone 1 and flop?

Halo is proven, killzone is not. You cannot compare the two, one is based on more realistic fighting and graphics, the other is based on multiplayer and real sci fi and a more "fun" feel to it

I would sure hope killzone outhyped halo, considering we barely saw anything of halos single player gameplay, and many other features, and is a proven franchise coming off a game that already very successful, while killzone we saw alot, and is based on a game that originally failed

Hus, enough with your fanboyism, all 3 games are great, and no one is in "fear" of the other

 



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

They showed like one clip of Halo 3 at E3. Halo didn't need hype at E3, Killzone did. Killzone needs all the hype it can get at this point to keep building and building. If you are smart businessman, you don't release a demo during the release of Halo 3. You want to release it when the media is looking for something to latch onto, not when they are falling over slobbering over Halo smashing an entertainment history record.

Thank God Sony doesn't take advice from the likes of you folk

Actually, from what sony executives have been saying lately, wouldnt suprise me if Hus was one in disguise

 how would releasing a game demo on the day of Halo 3 of a game that looks way better and should play better (according to IGN's hands-on)?

it would be a good way to compare halo 3 vs killzone 2. Plus most PS3 owners arent getting Halo 3 because its not going on the PS3 so why do we care about it? If we got a demo if Killzone 2 we would have something to be excited about. The we can have comparison videos of Halo 3 vs Killzone 2.

...

nvm, ssj12.

Let me just say, Killzone 2 is supposed to be a BIG draw for Sony, yes? So, they want as much attention as possible, yes? It's not about pleasing current players, it's about attracting those on the fence, it's about having the media drool over your potentially good game, it's about having the spotlight.

It won't have that on Halo 3's release week, no matter how much better it looks.

 But it will while hype dies. 

Quick Chart:

                Halo 3 released                Killzone 2 Demo released

Week 1)  Hype from 360 fans           Eyes on Halo 3 launch, slight notice
Week 2)  Hype continues                 Sony fans start realizing demo exists
Week 3)  Halo 3 sold out?                Everyone else realizes Killzone 2 demo exists
Week 4) Hype lessens a bit             Killzone 2 is compared with Halo 3
Week 5) Still selliing well                 Hype grows farther

 

As long as the demo exists hype for the game will grow, its just like Folklore, Folklore has 0 hype in America, demo released, hype has grown greatly. Releasing a demo of Killzone 2 might actually combat Halo 3 a bit and shake up it's launch. Which Killzone 2 might be able to just like a MGS4 demo would.

It's possible, but not likely, and if I was in Sony's shoes, I wouldn't want to risk getting swallowed in the Halo hype. Why not wait a week or two, when the hype has died down? That gives them the spotlight. Halo is launched, it sold out, people have played it, they know how it feels and looks. Then ... Killzone 2 is in your face, media is hyping it cause a demo is released.

In my humble opinion, it would be wiser to get your own stage, rather than risk sharing it with another.
