Will Killzone 2's popularity last?

[QUOTE="QuirkyUsername"]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.Hathesulacon

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

You can can the facade KZ2 is not populer...

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

im thinking people are already forgetting about it. Most of my PS3 owning friends dont even care for it

ha ha ha my point exactly.

all those people play Halo because they don't care for it.

" I hate Halo.. I'll teach those Halo lovers and play it to death, that'll show 'em.."

don't expect any other respinse from Animal-mother a lot of his posts are Halo-hate

No game is going to kill KZ2's popularity. It'll last a long time, no need to worry.

Its not like Modern Warfare 2 is going to kill Killzone's popularity. It comes out in about 8 months and the people who are still going to be playing Killzone 2 when it drops will likely still be playing it after.

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

Yes, for PS3 owners, as well, but they won't admit it. :(

only time can answer that but with a few more patches and some dlc it should be able to stand the test of time.

imo KZ2's community isalready quitestrong, and if GG keep supporting the game with updates, tournaments & DLC (new maps / modes) i think its popularity will grow stronger...

But its natural that a popular fps like COD:MW2 will draw gamers' attention once released, lets not forget the first one was the game responsable for knocking off Halo3 from 1st place online.. and it had a huge success also on PS3.. I think its normal that new games which are really good get more attention over older titles..

Who cares the game is horrible,broken and laggy [spoiler] Just kidding :P :twisted:,Time,Sales and Support (from both sony and GG) will answer your question..is too early anyways,the game has been out couple of months.. [/spoiler]

Sorry, most played game in 2007 and 2008 was Halo 3. CoD 4 didn't do anything.

actually, i tend 2 play exclusives more than multi games, imagine if this exculsive is KZ2, for me it will last for along time.....i need 2 buy a PS3 first....lol

Not sure...but it will definitely be used as an example like "If the first game sucks,the 2nd one is bound to suck too."
Proving that that statement is false.

Killzones popularity will last througuh 2009 at least
cause lems have no exclusives so all their attempts at ownage will be focused on KZ2.

Who knows. It's a great game. I enjoy it...I don't even play Gears 2 anymore to be honest. I'm sure that they will have a good amount of core players but I guess we all can agree that It won't get any more popular than it did the week of its release. It reached its peak in my opinion.

Once people are done with ribbon grinding some might be tired out and stop playing, or at least slow down on how much they play. I know I've been playing nonstop for them these past few days *shakes fist at air support*.

If you don't even know what I'm talking about don't bother.

who knows...

Personally I will never stop playing this game online. Its much like COD4 which I loved but with all the tweaks I wanted, and its a little more difficult.

If I do switch to another online shooter it will be COD6, but it will have to be something incredible to budge me from KZ2. If its the same as COD4, I still have COD4 and im done with it now...

I think it will loose its casual popularity in favour of the next COD, but the hardcores and Killzone fans will always play it online.

I just wanted to point out that your logic is wrong/backwards.

KZ2 can only be played by people with PS3s; therefore, the primary competition to KZ2 and the primary deciding factor inKZ2's popularityisthe upcoming lineup of games for the PS3. If the PS3 gets plenty of good/excellent games in the near term, then the popularity of KZ2 will drop faster. If the PS3 does not get good/excellent quality games then the popularity of KZ2 will not drop as fast.

Oh teh irony!!

Yes of course.

Just like Halo 3s popularity has dropped a lot from release.

I didn't say no one would be playing it.

I said the popularity depends not on another platforms new games, but on the same platforms new games.

It isn't a difficult concept to understand.
