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.

I see you have Ace Combat in your collection.  That is like a "Baby's first flight combat game".

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.

just isnt going to happen is it...

What you mean it's not selling as well in the same time frame as two games released during the X-mas holiday?! For shame on you Killzone! For shame!

Games for windows is a brand!

 

A brand that has existed since... 2007? A rather new brand anyway, not significant. Besides, most PC gamers I've seen don't care for it at all. Oh, and all PC games don't even use that brand. I also guess people wouldn't care about the brand even if it was Linux games were played on - the games would simple be PC games instead of 'Games for Windows' games. In case you missed my point, it was that GfW isn't significant enough.

I'd rather say console gamers can't recognize quality. How many RTS games have you played before Halo Wars, for example?

Should we call a game running on a cell phone great just because it's better than the ones released in its genre before? I don't think so. It's no different for other platforms either. If it lacks strategy and depth, it lacks them. There's nothing to do about it. May work for noobs of the genre and even for some of the more experienced people but I doubt people are going to return to the game when they've finished it once. I might actually say that often one of the best marks of a great RTS is its excellent replayability.

And not to go completely off-topic, it's not fair to compared sales numbers from different weeks. I thought it was pretty obvious... And 4k isn't much anyway.

I wouldn't speak of legs at this point though, unless it's clear they're terrible, which clearly isn't the case now. We ought to wait at least a couple of weeks before speaking of legs.

This shows nothing.

Can we please wait for at least 3 months post-launch before we start discussing legs?



darthdevidem01 on 26 March 2009

@kowenicki

but back then it was the only good game on 360...or so I have been told many times

Right now PS3 has so many fantastic games to choose from....int he FPS genre especially

Does it matter? I'm shocked Halo Wars sold better than expected i mean for a RTS on a console that's a great feat to accomplish anyways

The fact it is an RTS on a console, and if it becomes the top name in this niche, then that will lend to it having legs.  It is competently executed.  Not really of much interest to me, as I have done enough PC RTS, but still there is room in this niche for it to show something.
