Will Killzone 2's popularity last?

Just wondered what you guys think. It is a fantastic game and I just wondered whether you think it will develop a core following... much like COD

KZ2 will be forgotten by the time MW 2 comes out.

Once Modern Warfare 2 is released, no one will care about Killzone 2.

KZ2 will last until KZ3 is out :P

It's just the System Wars cycle:

1. See graphics before gameplay. Hype begins.
2. Game is released and judged.
3. Game is talked about.
4. Game is forgotten. Go back to step 1.

2. Game is released and judged and possibly flopped.
3. Game is talked about and possibly/most likely hated on.
4. Game is forgotten and used in exclusive wars. Go back to step 1 with another game.

I don't get the idea that a system can only hold one FPS multiplayer game at a time.

The 360 has people playing Gears, CoD4 and Halo 3.

The PS3 has people playing Warhawk, RS2 and Killzone 2.

The overall casual public that always want to play the new thing will always move on but non of these games has had any lack of support.

No. The popularity is actually starting to fade away a bit now. MW2 will crush its popularity.

The cows will keep playing until the cows come home.

you guys should be thanking killzone2 for making developers step there game up from now on. it may not be the greatest fps out there, but its certaintly the most fun ive had since cod4.

Im pretty much done with K2,

The game was great while it lasted,

It was way too dark for me, tired of seeing nothing but black and red,

and no matter how good i get in the game, the crappy controls linger forever.

People are still playing Gears 1 online. Killzone 2 wiill still be played a year from now, but I don't think it'll be anywhere as popular as the other shorters in that timeframe. Now's a good time to play though. I just got my copy in, so I'll be online this weekend.

The online is getting dull IMO

Killzone 2 is an awesome game I will always play it. The only problem is that COD4 has a much bigger fanbase and thats why it will get many FPS fans.

Killzone 2 has improved the Killzone franchise and I am sure Killzone 3 will be even more well known.

Once the next big thing comes out.

If COD:MW2 is just on par with the original, I can see KZ2 lasting till KZ3.

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"][QUOTE="pyromaniac223"] No, it definitely isn't. I'm not sure why everyone is claiming that KZ2 is so OMGREALISTIC!pyromaniac223

You're right. KZ2 whilst great, and the sense of weight is good. Things like regenerating health etc takes away from the realism

I agree with most of your statement, but the CS community is not that small :P

CS is the most popular multiplayer FPS in the world. Only some MMO's are played more.

KZ2 will be forgotten by the time MW 2 comes out.

Not for PS3 owners ;)

maybe but i dont think it will be anything like halo 3 or cod4

Maybe for 3-4 more years, then KZ3 will be released and everybody will move on. Or until MW2, KZ2 isn't going to be remembered like HL2 or OoT are.

No, I would rather smash my hand with a hammer than play that bland ****.

It's the extreme realism of Killzone 2 that draws people in, it just destroys CoD4 (which was as close to a combat simulator as you can get). It's probably the most realistic FPS ever.QuirkyUsername

sure. MW2 will probably steal some people away and eventually games do see a decline in the# of players but2 years from now I'm sure there will still be a decentnumber of people online on KZ2

It is the flavor of the month.

The controls are slow and the game was made for casuals... tell me another FPS where you press a button to climb a ladder?

I blew $60 on it and I dont regret it (its not Haze) but it wasn't the game I expected.

CoD4 FTW
