you clearly heard that Although Halo 3 would sell well but IT WONT have a wider audience.
in UK /EU/JAPAN halo 3 will not make any impact. in UK the impact would be far less than what halo 2/1 did. People in EU and JAPAN are just waiting for a price cut and nothing else.
FIFA 08 has already overtaken HALO 3 in terms of pre-orders in EU .
the ps3 version will be launching on september 28th and will murder HALO 3.
KZ2 will attract non gamers as well since it is both A MOVIE with ultrarealistic graphics and NEXT GEN physics/ai/gameplay
hhhhhmmmm as the hardcore MS boys said about the whole " SONY using PGR or was it FORZA?...to advertise GT" look look MS is using Killzone to promote HALO 3" just as sony had nothing to do with the GT pics, i dont believe MS has anything to do with this.
edit @ socommick: "i must be retarded to no have noticed" please buddy dont make yourself look retarded.
Im not reffering to the bbc but all you who didnt get the sypnosis, the broadcast was reffering to Mature rating games and citing Halo as one of them, the footge for Killzone 2 was just in reference to it been a violent game, like later on they showed p1ss sports when talking about family games
I can't believe anyone here actually cares. Just look at those presenters, do you think they could tell the difference between Halo and Princess Peach?
True that. I love how the BBC had to explain that a first-person shooter was a shooting game in the first-person and then compared Halo 3 to Wii Sports. Hah.
come on he is not Sony fanboy, that is giving too much respect for that troll. One could argue he is trying to subconsciously implant KZ2 into viewers minds. just kidding.
This definately gives you the perspective of the European market. The 360 and Halo isn't everything in Europe. You blind U.S. 360 fans might learn something after watching this.
Guess the Killzone footage should help move a few more copies of Halo 3 then ;)
Just kidding of course, but it shows how much the mainstream press knows of video games, even though it could be just a mistake hehe. The footage of Killzone wasn`t that long either.
When i was watching channel 503 bbc news ON sky i saw it, i thought why or they showing Killzone 2 trailer and they are talking about Halo 3 and they didn,t even mention Killzone 2.
They funny thing is they didn,t mention killzone 2 or Playstation 3 not a word.
Either its a mistake or uses Killzone 2 footage for Halo3 story.
For first time ever, i saw a gameplay of Halo 3. I played both Halo 1 and 2 and this Halo 3 is exactly the same! Just a hint of High definition. Why bother paying for something similar.
Killzone 2 has changed from Killzone 1 and i will certainly get that game instead.
they showed Beta build....i just saw too. Its no biggy about Kzone either,,,,they used Wii sports aswell. IT was more a story about the industry in general.
insult to Halo to be compared to killzone. Can you imagine the disappointment of the person seeing gameplay footage of kz2 and the guy pressing a button for half an hour. Also read the reviews on killzone 1 and showed that it sucked ass. Hopefully he'll notice how much that big shiny monster with the fuel tanks rips off from Bioshock's Big Daddy :-O.
i watch it and it was on about vilent games then showed killzone fortage the some halo, then some will sports lol. BUt its mainly about halo i think its the way they put it together which dont make no sence at all.
This just shows how out of touch the media is with games. television and newspapers view games as something little boys play with, a passing fad that will disapear and then they get a bee in there bonnet when someting like gta comes out. I quote 'the wii has been outselling these shoot em up games'. a wii is a console, a shoot em up a game...retards. I remember them saying some time ago that gran turismo was agreat game on the nintendo 64. The media needs to catch up. Its still in the stone age.
LOL, gotta love these "just add some cool action there, none will notice" HALO3 just happens to be the biggest event in gaming history, everyone will notice :D
If you want awesome graphics and a some pretty good story get bioshock. but if you want awesome story and pretty good graphics get halo3.
both games are recommended for fps vets and beginners.
and if your not in to both of the franchises it's fine.
i own both and i feel happy that the waiting is over i can now spend the holidays with my friends and family playing halo3, bioshock,gears of war,lost planet, and other good titles.
damn what a glaring error, cant believe they ran this story. Sigh - the y need to have the people that put together that clip fired. I live down the road from the BBC, maybe i should pay a visit.
haha im actually going to watch the news on catch up tv on demand. but i dont understand how editors could actually mistake killzone for halo, they hardly look the same! what gets me is that i bet they dont do this for metal gear solid 4, which in my eyes deserves it aswell :(
HALO 3 didn't need help being promoted. I think MS is doing that one pretty well. I haven't seen the video but if it is confirmed true, it would be funny and insulting at the same time. Halo 3 has its own distinct art that is vastly different from a game like GEARS or KZ2. It would really be an insult. MS could've used GEARS if they were going to do something "SONY-like" lol. Just kidding SONY guys. On the real, the more you guys bash HALO 3 the dumber you sound. BUNGIE NEVER boasted it will have life-like graphics, they only said they one create a game that would claim your free time. To keep bashing HALO 3 over and over again about the same thing is played out. Because in truth, the more you bash, the more you actually promote the darn thing. Why do you think companies try to change the subject when they are asked a question about a competitor, even if its bad news for them? Because bad publicity is STILL publicity! Big ups to BUNGIE for creating another great game. Now off HALO 3, have you guys seen Ratchet and Clank? I've never owned a SONY console but that game looks TIGHT!!!
Obviously is preparing for this the reporter knew nothing about Halo so they simply Googled "Next Gen FPS" and Killzone 2 came up. Honest mistake for a layman.
I'm joking, I'm joking, jeeze, have a laugh ocassionaly guys instead of just typing "lol" for a substitute.
the interviewer was also funny and wanted to praise the Wii and tried to push forward the stereotype of Halo gamers as being anti-social loser. It was obviously a very original piece of journalism.
It was a really pathetic interview by the Beeb done b/c they had to say something about this huge cultural event; the interviewer reminded me of their sports announcers giving American Football, Baseball and Ice Hockey scores you can see from their expressions and their tone that they don't really understand what they are talking about; the proverbial fish out of water.
Mind you to be fair Sony used Project Gotham screen shots to promote Grand Tourismo.
Well, all I can say is, if this is real footage, us guys here at Guerrilla are really happy :P I just came in to work and was greeted with this lovely footage :D What a kick in the teeth for Microsoft! ..... Boom!!
lmao @ Europeans. they sound funny and are clearly retarded. they should have consulted with someone who has played at least one game in their entire life before defaming halo's glory with that uglyass krapzone intro with those ugly-faced, bald idiots yelling at each other again LOL.
but in all honesty, that footage was just spliced together by some sony dog doing his part serving the SDF.
defaming isn't a word. You wanna call the entire Europen continent stupid? Take a look at whos running your country. Scary ain't it?
Nearly every review of Halo 3 says it looks like Halo 2 in HD. It may by a great game, but in the visuals deparment, not the greatest game ever. And only blind 360 fanboys can say Killzone looks ugly. Might play like a sack of sh*t, but it looks damn good.
This report had nothing to do with Son, it was BBC report about a 360 game, you ignorant fanboy.

owned.
2. i know all about who secretly runs the US Government. don't think u can tell me anything new, boy.
3. halo 3 is the most beautifully lush and vibrant game I've ever seen. krapzone 2 is a black and white turd from a trash bin with uber low rez shaders and dumb AI. GETPWNED
This is not taken out of context. Look in the top left when the clip of Killzone is shown. It's just a funny screw up, stop being so defensive, laugh and move on.
There are misguided indications as to what we are watching during different times of the clip. Not to mention a bad editing job. Another clear case of someone talking about an issue they do not dominate. Poor Journalism which is (usually) not at all BBC´s style.
lol! That's pretty funny...how does one confuse the two games? The people in Killzone look NOTHING like the people in Halo 3. Plus what did they just think MC took his suit off for a sky ride? lmao what a bunch of morons.
Halo 3 is better than Killzone 2.
PERIOD.
Halo 3 is ruling the world !
Thats pretty funny. Although, can anyone confirm this clip? That could have been easily added
lol at the fake report.
not approving this but sure is funny
hhhhhmmmm as the hardcore MS boys said about the whole " SONY using PGR or was it FORZA?...to advertise GT" look look MS is using Killzone to promote HALO 3" just as sony had nothing to do with the GT pics, i dont believe MS has anything to do with this.
