What's "Success" For Killzone 2?

Make no mistake, Killzone 2 is the most important title to hit the PlayStation 3 this year. Ever since the first CG trailer was released, expectations on the game have been sky-high, both in terms of its quality and its sales. Sony also obviously realizes the importance of the game, if the news of SCEE putting £2 million behind the advertising the game was any indication. With the game releasing in less than a month, I started to ponder: What is success for Killzone 2?

Making gamers happy! Having fun playing a computer game!

Queue, sales statistics ...

dannyhinote_135574d ago

Haha...it's easy to lose sight of what really matters, doesn't it?

cryymoar5574d ago

especially when you're an xbox fan.

Delivering Amazing Graphics with Solid addictive gameplay to Ps3 owners around the world.

Kleptic5574d ago

I think one that this guy overlooked was what Killzone 2 can do as an advertisement for PS3 development...plenty of developers and publishers are going to see what the PS3 is capable of, by means of killzone 2, in a totally different way than before...

Most people overlook why killzone 2 was so expensive...the proprietary middleware was built from the ground up during development of this game...killzone 2 is the tech demo of Sony's new middleware...and the EDGE SDK which is nearing completion, contains many tech aspects of this game engine...which is offered for free to licensed PS3 development studios...its not that killzone 2 itself is a $50 million game...its the tech it runs on that is 50 mil, and thats why it looks the way it does (read: nothing comparable on consoles)...

so to me...I think success for killzone 2 can also be in a similar way that Gears of War was for UE3...publishers/developers may turn to this EDGE kit in order to create some truly ridiculous looking titles for the PS3...and with the way Sony has ramped up internal development on a massive scale...with over 5 huge 1st party exclusives on the horizon...all of which are set to raise visual bars even further...its not leaving a lot of room for half-ass'd multiplats...

Me placing the Killzone 2 disc in my PS3 drive on launch day (I took the day off from work) and gaming until my hands ache and eyes water. ;)

PSN = Boodybandit if you want to play online.

cmrbe5574d ago

success would be having a 60 million ad budget so that it will sell at least 3 million on day one.

Weather we enjoy it is totally irrevelant. We gamers will enjoy how well it the game sells instead.

uie4rhig5574d ago

for 360 fanboys: if it has more than 10million sales
for PS3 fanboys: if it has more than 20 (20, not 20 million or w/e) sales
for real gamers: as long as it delivers a stealth game play, good story line, and a multiplayer mode that lasts (aka CoD4)

yeah lol, Im suprised I learned to spell those right too.

SupaPlaya5574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

If you ask the Critics:
"Killzone 2 is a success when it cures AIDS"

If you ask me:
"Killzon 2 is a success when it matched the 2005 CGI target render"

avsrule5574d ago

Killzone 2 is a success if I like it...

callahan095574d ago

Damn SupaPlaya, you are the third unfortunate victim this week of my ridiculously crappy mouse skills. It's become a near daily occurrence where I have to say "I clicked the wrong button".

In your case, I meant to click agree. Whoops.

SIX5574d ago

This is easy. It has to do for PS3 what Gears did for 360, and that's have people look at the game and know they must own a PS3.

Sitdown5574d ago (Edited 5574d ago )

or success for Sony? I think success for Killzone would simply be it securing its place in history. Despite sales (good or bad), 5 or 10 years down the road...when we are traveling the history of gaming, somewhere along the lines we will see the mention of Killzone and/or when future fps comes out, for it to be one of the benchmark/measuring sticks used to determine if that future fps is good or not.

SpiderCircle5574d ago

It should easily be one of the best PS3 games ever.

KillzoneKid5574d ago

MGS has niche audience .not everyone like MGS game

KZ2 has a much wider audience and is more anticipated than MGS4

cmrbe5574d ago

MGS4 is the greatest game ever. MGS fanboy here.

callahan095574d ago

I know KZ2 will be a roaring success, but what constitutes "murder"? Because MGS4 is on the way to 5 million sales worldwide, which it most definitely will achieve some day, most likely in the year 2009. Murdering that would have to be ... at least 6 million, but probably more to really call it *murder*.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro58d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7258d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_58d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga58d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2358d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200058d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin58d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole58d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix58d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198958d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198958d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor362d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar362d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg362d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149362d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138362d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim362d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC362d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138362d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle362d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76362d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM362d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger362d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca362d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal362d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright362d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183734d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183734d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149733d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
