Killzone 2 becomes the 4th fastest selling PS3 game…shouldn't that be disappointing?

DefaultPrime:

"Not to pop any fanboy's or Killzone's bubble, for the "best first person shooter of all time", shouldn't this PS3 exclusive be expected to sell…a little faster? It's also behind in sales to Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue."

wait what? i thought it was the 4th best selling SONY game accross all sony platforms not just PS3

Mr_Bun5958d ago

It is across all Sony platforms, not just the PS3...also take a good look at those who are approving this

PistolPumptMonk5958d ago

Thats great and all but honestly? Screw sales. I don't need numbers to tell me that when I pop KZ2 into my PS3, I'm gonna have one hell of a good time.

nbsmatambo5958d ago

is everything the PS3 does bad for the press...

they act like its the unwanted child of the family, the outcast

jeez..

eagle215958d ago

But shouldn't a name like the 52 million selling Gran Turismo be #1.

Killzone beat halo though, oops...POP!

TheTwelve5958d ago

Like I said, sales talk is all haters have left...and in this case, they failed out of desperation. I wonder how long this bit of news will stay on the site---it's an embarrassment.

edgeofblade5958d ago

TheTwelve and every other fanboy is delusional and clearly putting up a double standard.

You know for sure you would be screaming "KILLZONED" if it were the other way around.

Just play the game and enjoy it. Why do you need validation that you are playing the "best" game?

The fact that you call us "haters" indicates that we should worship KZ2 regardless of the issues we have with it, because it "is" the best. Bullshit. You get your opinion and I get mine.

And my opinion is the game is pretty damn good. But it's not worthy of this cult mentality.

xwabbit5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Pretty sure Sony didn't have 2 REAL competitors b4. M$ and Nintendo are doing things right this time.

TheTwelve5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Nah, Edge. I also want this great game to sell well because the developers deserve it. So, having it be the 4th best selling Sony game of ALL TIME is rather important, and it's hardly a disappointment as this h8er article suggests.

I know it's the best, just like I enjoyed Valkyrie Chronicles while nobody bought it. But it's a disappointment that it didn't sell better.

Eddie201015958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

This isn't even an article, it's a comment.

Killzone 2 is the fourth best selling Sony published game across all Sony platforms.

This joke wants hits and is asking people to book mark his page, Xbox fanboys feel free.

callahan095958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Yeah, it's not accurate. It's the fourth-fasting selling Sony published game. That counts PSone, PS2, PS3, and PSP. And technically, I guess it would even include games from the 16-bit era when Sony was a publisher, but before they entered the console hardware business. (They published MSX games under the Sony Computer Entertainment label in the 80's, and then under the name Sony Imagesoft for the 16-bit era, and then back to Sony Computer Entertainment when they launched the Playstation)

So, no, it's not disappointing. Also, slow and steady wins the race (just to throw that one out there). If the game doesn't have legs, what's the use? Hopefully it continues to sell well and not just have a huge splurge on week 1 and then die forever. Having a good launch is important, but having long legs is even better.

JD_Shadow5958d ago

I looked at it. Wondering why meep would approve this because he's not one to approve the flame bait stuff.

Everyone else I could see.

DeZimatoR5958d ago

This is the work of bitter Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft fanboys who were pissed cause Sony's consoles in the previous generations (PS1 and PS2) destroyed their favourite consoles sales-wise.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, people don't like it when someone is at the top for too long. Envy is a sad thing indeed, but its everywhere.

theKiller5958d ago

couldnt agree more!

bubble for u!

DaTruth5958d ago

I hope to finish the campaign soon. The multiplayer is so engrossing that I can't put it down to finish the game.

TheExecutive5958d ago

Wait, how does the 4th best selling game of any Sony platform of all time disappoint? We are talking about a product line that extends well into 300 million sold. I mean a lot of those users are probably duplicates (bought a ps1, ps2 and psp) but still that is a huge number and I am sure the software numbers are staggering (a couple billion at least) and people are actually calling it, being the 4th fastest selling of the sony brand, a disappointment. Someone needs to slap this writer.

PS. I didnt go and look up the numbers because to tell you the truth I dont give a sh*t.

Zephyrus_8085957d ago

Considering its only been out for a week.

It should sell one hundred million billion copies in less than a week! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT.

We all know that games do not sell after the one week mark. Store owners take it off the shelves in 7 days and pack them in boxes never to be seen again.

-Marked as LAME.

Panthers5958d ago

Wow what a terrible article. KZ2 is the 4th fastest selling SONY title. Not PS3. That includes PS1 and 2. Whoever wrote this is dumb.

Omega45958d ago

If you include multiplatform games like GTAIV and fifa i think it is the 4th fastest selling PS3 game

Mr_Bun5958d ago

There you go...."thinking" again.

Omega45958d ago

Ok then its a fact, why do you think they said "4th fastest Sony game" then? It makes its seem more impressive than it actually is

odisho685958d ago

4th fastest selling game of all time??? how is that not impressive considering the PS2's install base?? The world has officially been killzpwned

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX246d ago (Edited 246d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne246d ago (Edited 246d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro246d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken246d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown246d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72246d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken246d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya245d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast246d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood246d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

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.

OtterX475d ago (Edited 475d ago )

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-ro475d ago

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

darthv72475d 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_475d ago

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

Cacabunga475d ago

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

Profchaos475d ago (Edited 475d 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

seanpitt23475d 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!

Iceball2000475d ago

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

Father__Merrin475d ago

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

InUrFoxHole475d ago

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

Marcus Fenix475d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989475d ago

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

1Victor475d ago (Edited 475d 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 😱

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.

1Victor779d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar779d ago

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

jznrpg779d ago

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

badz149779d 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!

Vengeance1138779d 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 Kim779d ago

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

VersusDMC779d 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?

Vengeance1138779d ago

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

solideagle779d 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.

Phoenix76779d 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

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

thesoftware730779d ago (Edited 779d 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.

blacktiger779d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca779d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy779d ago (Edited 779d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain779d ago

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

Imalwaysright779d ago

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