Here's the link.

Killzone 2 also happens to be Sony's fastest-selling title ever in the US, in terms of reaching 500,000 unit sales...:(

I really disliked the way it played, but I have to admit it's one fine looking game.

assuming Sony spent 60mil on the game in total (dev costs, ads cost, publishing, printing, packaging, etc...) I would say they have already covered the costs. The game sells for $60 and they already have more than 1mil sales world-wide. But of course this is all an assumption and I think the $60mil price point is BS. Probably didnt cost that much.

I think like other PS3 titles it will continue to sell overtime, If you add in Europe + Japan + Other Regions it would be approximatley around 2 million World Wide.

Are you talking about another Halo or just more exclusives? Either way, that's a illogical statement.

Seriously. I mean who wants to keep playing one of the most solid shooters available on the consoles? It isn't like anything else has come out for them to play in 20 months....:|

and it's more than likely they will use the same engine as well as many assets (textures models etc) for future games as well.

I can't wait to get my PS3, but this is a game I do see me buying. When it comes to the PS3, I am more interested in singleplayer than multiplayer (My PC is for the multiplayer). And from my understanding, Killzone 2 has a short singleplayer. A short singleplayer is why I skipped Call of Duty 4 and will be the reason I skip Killzone 2. If I ever decide to pick Killzone 2 (or Call of Duty 4) up, it will be once it is $30.

I agree with this. I always end up feeling sorry for 360 gamers when they mention Halo 3 this and Halo 3 that. I am like damn, you guys are still talking about Halo 3. Hasn't Microsoft released anything good after Halo 3. :shock:

You didn't think your post out before typing it did you? Or was it your goal to look silly? They released a game, so they did target their audience. I mean HOW DARE Sony release a game for their gaming system. :roll:

Actually I was just kidding, but they could come out with some more exclusives. I haven't had a reason to turn my 350 since Gears 2. :(

What are you talking about? They'll be lucky to get a 3rd of it? Sony gets the majority of that $$. They made the game, published it, advertised it, did practically everything except distribute it at retailers. Are you saying retailers get 2/3 of all game profits and then everyone else only gets 1/3? That doesn't make sense. Why would anyone spend millions to make games if some random company who just holds the game on their premise gets most of the money? Thats like a Movie company making a movie and then the theatre getting 66% of all profits made from the movie...not happening.

If Sony really wanted to push consoles and copies with the release, they should've bundled it with a PS3.

This is one of the reasons why I was afraid to get a 360 to begin with. MS has a bad habbit of hyping up and releasing only 1 really good game every year and then leaving it at that. God forbid that you don't like that 1 supposed good game that they are hyping up to relase then you are left with nothing really good to play all year long.

The number I saw floating "around" for dealer cost is 40$........ That's also assuming it had a 60M budget and 1.5M units sold....... it's right there at breaking even..

There's not many lemmings on SW? Why? Simply because they are having fun with their 360 instinct of dissing other consoles unlike cows, who are here claiming that the 360 ain't fun anymore with its ton of exclusives and best online(between ps3 and 360) :P

If the PS3 was that fun, people wouldnt bother going there and talking **** about the other fun consoles

star ocean was good. kz2 though, i think its going to have a very niche fan base, it was ok but nothing like halo 3 was, or half life, i had to force myself to finish the game.

Xbox 360 gamers are just busy playing their game over and over again halo 3 on live because they (including me) would'nt want to waste their live fee by not playing.

What did you not like? The controls have been patched and greatly improved since the demo if that's what you're having trouble with. If you just didn't like amazing graphics and full on action.... Well, I can't help you there. ;)

And they shouldn't. I love KZ2, but I'll be the first to say that if they ever start trying to sell games based on graphics alone and half-*** the gameplay/story then the gaming industry is going down. On a side note: The demo conrols are super sloppy. Left a bad taste in my mouth. The actual 60 dollar game post patch... Taste goooood......

what even worse is that...Halo 3 hasn't changed much at all since Halo 2. The core gameplay is still the same with no new proper addition to gameplay. 3rd game in the series and all they could do to gameplay is add a feature to drop items (gravity lift, shield drainer)? COME ON! its Halo 2 in HD.

The game did a good job of making you feel like you are in actual war with action going on everywhere, but I just didn't enjoy the gunplay. It didn't feel as satisfying killing someone as it should've, and the look of the environments were somewhat poor. It was mostly gray and uninspiring. The characters were extremely annoying, and just tried to act BA. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I didn't like about it---I have trouble doing that with every FPS game---but the gunplay just wasn't that fun. For every other genre, I can bash any game to hell and back, but I never know what to say about FPS games. Most of them really do suck, though. But then there's always that good one that reels me in... sort of. The only FPSs I have ever liked are the Valve ones, really, and Left 4 Dead is a very satisfying experience. And I only got it for 25 dollars.

If Sony really wanted to push consoles and copies with the release, they should've bundled it with a PS3.Lionheart08

Say what?

Xbox 360 gamers are just busy playing their game over and over again halo 3 on live because they (including me) would'nt want to waste their live fee by not playing.

:lol:

i'm kindof glad because i didn't like the game too much, though i'm basing this purely on the demo shows that people don't just buy because of fancy graphicsakif22
And they shouldn't. I love KZ2, but I'll be the first to say that if they ever start trying to sell games based on graphics alone and half-*** the gameplay/story then the gaming industry is going down. On a side note: The demo conrols are super sloppy. Left a bad taste in my mouth. The actual 60 dollar game post patch... Taste goooood......

they are the same controls... its sluggish in both versions.

[QUOTE="Nephilim83"][QUOTE="DeathScape666"]Yeah, well, the demo was awful. You really think I'll spend 60 bucks on that? Heh... Guess again.DeathScape666
What did you not like? The controls have been patched and greatly improved since the demo if that's what you're having trouble with. If you just didn't like amazing graphics and full on action.... Well, I can't help you there. ;)

The game did a good job of making you feel like you are in actual war with action going on everywhere, but I just didn't enjoy the gunplay. It didn't feel as satisfying killing someone as it should've, and the look of the environments were somewhat poor. It was mostly gray and uninspiring. The characters were extremely annoying, and just tried to act BA. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what I didn't like about it---I have trouble doing that with every FPS game---but the gunplay just wasn't that fun. For every other genre, I can bash any game to hell and back, but I never know what to say about FPS games. Most of them really do suck, though. But then there's always that good one that reels me in... sort of. The only FPSs I have ever liked are the Valve ones, really, and Left 4 Dead is a very satisfying experience. And I only got it for 25 dollars.

You just hate realism...you prefer unrealistic FLOATY face paced FPS. Doesn't feel satisfying? COME ON..the recoil and death animations are the best..it feels rewarding shooting a full clip in a poor guys chest, just to see the reaction.

[QUOTE="Nephilim83"][QUOTE="gaboi09"] This is one of the reasons why I was afraid to get a 360 to begin with. MS has a bad habbit of hyping up and releasing only 1 really good game every year and then leaving it at that. God forbid that you don't like that 1 supposed good game that they are hyping up to relase then you are left with nothing really good to play all year long. savagetwinkie

Like I said, I haven't found a reason to turn on my 360 since Gears 2.............:(

star ocean was good. kz2 though, i think its going to have a very niche fan base, it was ok but nothing like halo 3 was, or half life, i had to force myself to finish the game.

I didn't really like Killzone 2 either, but I like the fact that sony seems intent on trying to produce and push and diffent types of games and geners in a year just as hard as the other. So even if you don't like the gener of a game that's being promoted in a certain year you'll have other games to look foward to of equal quality--not just place holder games in a gener but crap quality. Example: KZ2 quality game but some don't like, but still have equally hyped and promoted and polished game In InFamous that's being relased in the same year with plenty of time left in the year to relaese more game.

:lol: Anyway, 360 fanboys wouldn't be playing Halo 3 so freakin' much if MS would actually come out with something else for them to play!Nephilim83
I agree with this. I always end up feeling sorry for 360 gamers when they mention Halo 3 this and Halo 3 that. I am like damn, you guys are still talking about Halo 3. Hasn't Microsoft released anything good after Halo 3. :shock:

what even worse is that...Halo 3 hasn't changed much at all since Halo 2. The core gameplay is still the same with no new proper addition to gameplay. 3rd game in the series and all they could do to gameplay is add a feature to drop items (gravity lift, shield drainer)? COME ON! its Halo 2 in HD.

ughh theirs about the same difference between halflife 1 & 2, thats what fps's do, they have always done this, and you forget things like forge... 4 player online co-op... those werent in halo 2
