Forums - Sony - OFFICIAL: God of War 3 to Surpass Killzone 2

I expect nothing else :)



 

Around the Network

this is going to be the 1st gow game this gen and a lot of people have been waiting for it. i think 2-3million ltd is easily possible.

as for best graphics, it will have some heavy competition from heavy rain, uncharted2, trico, a heavenly sword sequel if there is one and not forgetting what ms may pull out of their bags last minute.



Its God of War, thats all that needs said



God of War definitely has bigger fanbase, it can definitely surpass it.



GoW 1 sold 3mil+ on a heavily pirated console with a lot of competition from other games

GoW 2 was released AFTER many ppl had put away their Ps2s and started the new gen


GoW 3 will be released as the most anticipated game for Ps3, with no piracy.... Im thinking 4mil in it's first year.

1080p!? Seriously!? Did they really say it will be on that resolution?



yah it i think ot has a shot at 5 million...not very likely but theres a chance



PLAYSTATION® is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Usually strong games that are released on to a new, better platform sell well. I am thinking it will be in the 3 to 4 million range. PS3 owners are a funny bunch, tho. They seem to wanna support the 3rd party titles more (not like the 360 crew who really support M$ 1st party titles). Time will tell. Gonna be a big game any-which-way!

That's not official. What a load of bull. Full 1080p? Yeah right!

but killzone 2 is only at 1.4 million at the moment!!n i thin k god of war has a good chance of selling 4 million

Bwahahaha! No it doesn't. None of the GoW have touched 4 million.

well the 1st gow sold 3.21 million...and now its a franchise surrounded with a lot of hype so i think theres a good chance!

 

 

I don't know about that.

You've got on one hand:

- God of War 1, Selling 3.21 in 2005 on a system that had a much greater install base. BUT by that stage had already been cracked and pirating was becoming a big issue

On the other you've got:

- God of War 3, in 2009 (hopefully) on a system with a much smaller install base BUT without any pirating, in a generation that has seen most sequels selling less than their last generation brothers.

Tough call really. I'm going to say it'll sell about the same (pirating is a big factor after all).

As for 1080p 60fps? dreaming, unless you want there to be a small number of polygons/textures on screen and extremely small scale areas (given what we saw in GoW2, I hope not). Let's not overhype this number, even if it's from the developer (remember, we've been burned by empty promises before), or else all hell will break loose when the internet is set a light with news that retail copies are only running native 720p and 30fps (still excellent).

One things for sure, as long as they don't mess it up, GoW3 will definitely surpass Killzone 2 for me as an overall package. I've since given up on caring about graphics, given that it now no longer impacts gameplay since we've jumped to HD and the difference between KZ2, Resistance 2, Halo 3 and CoD4 is nothing in that regard. The one thing no one can seem to get right consistently is excellent character models.
