When I tried it and it felt like I was playing "Baby's first RTS." You can't make an RTS game with much less strategy and depth than that and still call it an RTS.

Yes, but it does work well on a console

 

Sorry, too many years of playing PC RTS games to lower my standards that much.

 

PC people are snobby

 

They just have standards that aren't based on any sort of brand loyalty because there is no specific brand to be loyal to.

Games for windows is a brand!

killzone2 is now tracking below cod waw and fable2.

And in response to a thread the other day it will be lucky to make 2 million before July now, nevermind mid April.

Halo Wars isnt showing better legs and will always be around 300k behind KZ2... sold incredibly well for a RTS though.

 

Buut ... but ... its going to hit 4 - 4.5 million!!

no chance....  2.5m and it will pretty much flatline...  not what was hoped for surely.

 

I told people again & again the game has nowhere near the HYPE of MGS4.....so why are people even bothering to predict sales higher than it

but noooooo....no-one listened!

 

Killzone 2 had more hype then MGS4 at least in advertising revenue. Can only speak for here in the UK but they spent £2m advertising KZ2 here. They didn't spend anywhere near as much on MGS4 here.

Personally i expect KZ2 sales to at least match what Gears 1 sold seeing as the PS3 has now got a bigger install base then what Gears 1 had at that time. I would also go so far as to say im confident that KZ2 cost maybe even twice what it cost to make and advertise the orgional gears game. Advertising = hype.

I didn't get round to it. I wasn't a massive fan of it on PC in the first place anyway

You think Killzone will sell over 5 million? It will probably be more like 2.5 to 3. I still think it can make 3 million though which is along the lines of what I predicted for it.

4k isn't even statistically significant. We'll see in week 8, 10, or 12 which has better legs if either.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

No KZ2 won't sell 5m anytime soon. But i think it will get to 3m for sure. It is a good game. The adverts are still all over the tv, it still has its trailer in the cinema and on the tube i still see the posters. Meaning some people still are yet to buy it.
But i personally think it had to match Gears 1 sales to show devs the PS3 can compete in the FPS market with the 360.
