Well according to google searches, the highest I've seen is 60 million, lowest being 20 million. So it might be around 40 million dollars.

the fact the controls were too differenft for the casual FPS player, caused people to pass

How many people were working on the game? 130? GTA4 had 150 people working on it and a cost of 100million to make. I guess 40m sounds reasonable enough.

A. GTA4 was multiplatform. PC/360/PS3 vs Ps3.

B. GTA4 took 10,000 pictures of New York City... that needs to be multiple photographers hired and 10,000 dollars worth of film and paper can't be cheap.

C. GTA4 had cameras capturing rain effect.

D. GTA4 VA is a shitload more than KZ2. With higher paid actors.

E. I'd assume TT GTA team would be getting paid more than the average dev salary with their track record. And GG less with theirs.

F. While GTA4 dev team probablly worked start to finish on it with the whole team GG had a PSP game launch during the dev time and continued support for the game.

Hense it being roughly twice the price ^^

I hope it can hit 3Mill lifetime.

It's legs are not near what I expected. The multiplayer is amazing, but the singleplayer is somewhat underwhelming compared to Uncharted 2 and CoD4, which may have impacted the game's legs.

I hope with the third they can conjure up some of the awesome cinematic moments of U2 and CoD4, and preferably improve the story a good bit (make the characters actually likeable, incorporate the backstory more). They had the basics of a good singleplayer there, like the awesome graphics, great AI, great enemy character designs, and great basic level design, but it lacked the scripted "oh shit!" moments of other blockbuster action titles, and the story was just meh.

I think shooters need a great singleplayer to truly sell well. It's the singleplayer that creates a good first impression, and it's what keeps people coming back for more. It was CoD4's short but incredibly sweet singleplayer that got most people to buy in, and it was the multiplayer that kept a good number of those people around. You have to figure that practically half of CoD4 buyers on 360 (and I assume ps3) never played online.

It may get to 3 million if they rerelease it with all the DLC, but I doubt it. Which is sad, because the multiplayer owns.

I hope Killzone 3 has some levels on a less brown planet. As much as I like gritty war, nothing beats a flamer in a jungle :D

Also, seeing some nice neat and clean ISA cities being blown to detailed smithereens by a Helghan invading force would be sweet. Then I wouldn't mind a grey/brown planet as long as we see it get turned into that.

And as MakingMusic said, some of those "Holy Shit" moments with real characters and an existing plot.

I think KZ2 would be around 2.20m-2.30m by end of 2009 depending how it's legs hold but right now it's selling 20k each week sometimes even 30k if it continues to sell at this rate 2.30m seems very likely to me by end of year.

P.S. Killzone 2 is awsome!!!!! Multiplayer is like crack!!!

should be 4 mil. lifetime. I hope it got the legs of MGS4
