Sony really advertise the hell out of this games to promote sales - this game deserves to sell

Metal Gear Solid 4 is, by some, considered a neich title, but in the PS community, it's a very popular franchise.

I can see Killzone 2 being an entry point to PS3 in regions like the US and UK where shooters are, by far, the most popular genres. As good as Resistance is, it doesn't seem to have captured that crowd.

Maybe not right out of the gate but lifetime sales should hopefully get more... We all know how terrible sonys advertising is...

alright silly fanboyism aside

the guys at guerilla really did do a good job

and deserve to be rewarded with such sales numbers

Killzone 2 deserves good sales figures, Metal Gear or not this game will come to stay in every gamer's heart.

Whatever number it is, add 1 to it. Day one purchase. The beta made me a believer.

A year's worth of additional PS3 sales and the fact that Killzone 2 is more of a straight-up shooter makes this seem like a pretty good bet. It's not like MGS4 sold such a ridiculous amount of copies, either.

it will surpass 10 million easly

mark my words

quote me on it

cause the game is simply MINDBLOWING,even if you see it for 5 seconds

it's going to sell tons and tons

and it will be the turning point

edit:except if the media start to bash it with 7 out of 10 reviews

mark my words again

It's a shooter I expect big numbers in the States and EU following that.

The thing is Metal Gear Solid 4 was popular across all regions so it had more of a ripple effect.

This is still a shooter folks, we know where they sell best.

This could touch Gears of War/COD sales numbers(if marketed correctly) as well as, if the multi-player matches COD or Halo but will never touch Halo's sale numbers.

...I duno tho.... Resistance is a good game but the sales are not as high as people expected..... It will be interesting to see how it goes...but who cares as long as we get to play the games.

don't REALLY care about sales...

good sales mean more money for sony which hopefully translates into better gaming for all...

now I'm not saying the two are comparable, but i bought a 360 for gears2, and i don't see why someone who prefers the 360 wouldn't but a ps3 for Killzone2...

Plus i enjoyed a decent back catalog on the 360, and they would definitely find a good amount of gems on the PS3 as well...

If ANYONE lets bias fanboyism stop them from getting a GREAT game... they really can't call themselves a gamer.

no money? ok i can understand, but missing out on K2 because u like the 360 better is just dumb

is very much a niche game, mgs4 changed that quite a bit because you can pretty much play it as a shooter.

Metal gear games have never really sold over 5 million in their life time, so it is very much possible.

I seriously doubt it will sell as quick as MGS4 did though, 3 million in two weeks.

no it wont...but this game will rock

Killzone 2 will sell better than Metal Gear Solid 4.Killzone 2 is a game for everyone while Metal Gear Solid 4 is not.

Metal Gear Solid has a huge fan base, some even bought a PS3 only for MGS4 (others are still on PS2 and others again wait a hypothetic MGS4 on 360) and there were a long (and deserved) hype on it. People even bought MGS4 without knowing anything of the series (what a terrible mistake).

Killzone 2's sales may be big, but i don't think it will be as big as MGS4, or at least, Killzone 2 may reach MGS4's sales but not in the same period of time. However, let's see how will it go, but if Killzone 2 "fails" (which will, for 360 fanboys), then other blockbusters on PS3 risk to fail too.

don't care how much it sells compared to whichever game, I just care about if the game will be fun.

The first game wasn't bad there were a few bugs. Visually, gameplay, physics and everything has been surpassed since their first release. They really deserve the sales.

I just cant wait for all of the Killzone flop stories because it only sold 450,000 copies in Feb.

Really though, the game most likely will reach the 4-6 million mark for lifetime sales.

How about the internet just stop with the expected sales figures? Its one thing when Ryan Payton spoke out on expected sales for MGS4. Its another when its an anonymous representative.

Something i have noticed on various forums over the last month, is that is this finally the thing to unite the Xbox and PlayStation Fans.

This is actually the first game which i have seen both sets of fans agree that it does look and are praising the developers for the game they have made, not the console it is on.

Its nice to see that the inner Gamer is coming out of the fanboy. =D

MGS I still consider quite niche, even with MGS4s advancements in the action area. FPS is not. So potentially I'd say the chance is definitely there. Throw in a decent ad campaign, yeah I reckon it'll do better.

But, all I care about is game-age, as long as I can get a full server, that's all that matters.

it all hinges on advertising really....

no advertising... massive hype will allow it to just about match MGS4 figures

Halo-style advertising... Halo-style figures... simple

i bought MGS4 and its ONE of the best games i ever played but KZ2 no way its gona be in my gaming collection.

i die and not buy it.

what i hate in it
1- FPS
2- Colorles probly will look awsome with black and white tv.
3- Crap story like mostly of FPS (Bioshock/COD4/COD5/R2/R1..ETC )
4- what you have to do is shoot and shoot and shoot till its over that all nothing new nothing spicall.
5- from gameplay video enemy got stupid AI.

PS. i played and completed both bioshock and COD4, i did play first mission of Resistance 2 and i didnt like it at all i still got the game, played online and got first 3 times in a row what bunch of noobs playing it.

Huge possibility. :o
If that happens...MEGATON.
That's all.

Who cares if Killzone 2 sells 101% better or less, MGS4 and Killzone 2 are great games, and all ps3 owners should own MGS4 and soon Killzone 2.

for some reason i dont think it will sell as much. maybe if sony actually advertises it, it might. but im think maybe 500k first month.

hope im wrong

well MGS4 has sold 4.30+ worldwide, so thats a good thing for KZ2.

of course it will sell good, cause like every sony exklusiv this game will ALSO be putting into a bundle to look sales good, LOOL.

I mean, with bundles, Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones on 360 sold more copies than Resistance2 and LBP, HAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHA... PURE OWNAGE

EVERY SONY GAME = SALES FLOP ----= BUNDLE

w/ 80-120 gb ps3 in march. this will be the biggest selling ps3 game before god of war 3 next winter. my prediction is 4.5 million units worldwide by thanksgiving.

Funny how they added MORE in their.

I just hope KZ2 is good. I could care less how much it sells.

I'm cautious. I really want this game to sell well, but I'm not going to say it will sell AAA-wise. Sellers on the platform are just too unpredictable. Everyone expected LBP and Resistance 2 to sell AAA figures.

Sorry but KZ will never be the GT of FPS. It won't reach 10 million unlike, GT

I think it's going to surprise many how well it sells and moves hardware in NA. This game looks at every Halo/CoD/CS/TF2 player and says "you know you want me!".

I'm gonna call it now, PS3 hardware > 360 hardware March 09 NPD.

This isn't news! Of course it will sell more than MGS4. Gorey FPS games do the best in the U.S.

Japan probably won't like it. But i reckon 5mill is a safe bet.

I will not buy Killzone 2 unless I see a helghast on every mountain dew can I see. Also, I will not buy it unless I can purchase a lifesize cardboard cutout to hump(as my masterchief one has too many holes). 15-30 old losers FTW.

It looks like a good game and i hope it sells well. I can't see it doing Halo numbers but i reckon 5 million is a safe bet.

MGS4 was a MEGA HIT and sold extremely well in a short time. I mean it's probably at 5million by now. I can see Killzone 2 doing those numbers but not sure if it will in the same short period. Unless Sony pushes this like cure for aids.

Is this article translated to english? It sounded strange when reading it. Even the title.

Killzone 2 is well known already and the haters are actually attracting attention towards the game. First day purchase for me and 10 of my friends.

I agree that Killzone 2 will sell a lot, but I don't think its on the same scale as MGS4.

MGS has been around a lot longer and more people know the franchise.

This is on my top...wait at the moment its pretty much my most anticipated game in the near future

but no, i really dont think it will, at least not as fast as MGS4

I hate when people say things like this. They did the same for LittleBigPlanet, and when it sells a million copies people are like "Oh, but it didn't sell 2 million!".

killzone >>> xbox, xbox 360, gamecube, wii

Sony needs to now spend some money on getting some adverts out about this game and then it will sell even more and shift some consoles. Although i would rather it didn't as i want it all to myself. it has such an awesome "feeling" about it. The beta was the biz

only sale that counts is MINE...

with good marketing and a price cut i see about
4 million in 2 to 3 months with about 500,000 ps3 sold

Thor:

Crysis Warhead was better for me gameplay wise.

And i do like crysis, just as i liked the first farcry, hated the second. Never felt involved in it. or i couldn't careless about the story.

You really need to have crysis fullup on a nice rig to appreciate the graphics. On low and i've seen many ppl play it this way, it looks worse then farcry.

Uncharted, has some sweet graphics, gameplay and a very nice story. I loved the game. and will play it again.

Killzone1 i never played. I never had a ps2.

I went from psx to pc and i've still got a pc now and a PS3.

My brother now has a 360, and he's 40. He loves gears. His type of game. and bth, i was playing it earlier and it felt better playing it on 360 then when i did on PC. Weird huh?

On the subject of KILLZONE2.

I Hope theres a variation of graphics and some real sweet moments, The shadows,sky,Physics,animations , look amazing.

I will be buying it day 1, for the reason i love games just as i just finished L4D and the graphics were so so, but the gameplay was excellent.

I do hope it sells well.

BTW, i never bought cod4,5. I know those games too well, they never change. My fav FPS in recent times was Battlefield 2.mp. Just because of the amount of players, massive maps and tons of vehicles.

Play the games you like, and love the games you play.

Sony really does need another mainline shooter franchise. They pretty much gave up after the PS3 generation, and I'm really surprised they haven't tried at another high-profile, singleplayer-centric shooter; even if it weren't Killzone or Resistance.

I miss Killzone while I can see why they still do Horizon has some really good things but I do think that Horizon is overrated imo.

Or how about studios focus on projects that they feel passionate about, and not be forced to make something they have little interest in. It shows in the final product.

It’s still got potential for the modern era. The DNA is all there. The install base is there. The interest is there. The time is now.

Killzone 2 and 3 were farkin brilliant and way better than halo

Too bad they've abandoned em smh, then theres sony barely even acknowledging what us fans want. Every time they sale a certain high amount it get like that with them smh

Because Killzone games are awesome, that's the reason.

New ip after 3'rd horizon please 🙏

Give it to Bungie. The Helghast are awesome enemies and Bungie could make something really cool

not enough interest to keep it alive

I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.

Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.

Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice

Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..

Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.

I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo

Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day

Resistance 1-3 remastered with online

Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online

God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection

Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous

White knight chronicles 1-2

Warhawk and starhawk

Motorstorm series

MGS4

Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.

Infamous 1+2 and KZ 2+3

Deus Ex Human Revolution

GTA IV needs one.
Still stuck on PS3 and 360.

PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me

Nice to see that they included Pupetteer in this list.

"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"

Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles

Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born

Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.

That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.

I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.

The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.

Add Mag to that list.

I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.

This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.

Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.

FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too

The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.

Would absolutely love a remastered collection of the resistance games

Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.

Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements

Would love a remake of the first Resistance game and also Tools of Destruction.

A gem of a gen, imo! So much IP to pluck.

Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩

Remasters are a waste of time and developer resources. Real Devs make new games.

God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.

I’d say new sequels instead.

Got be resistance /prototype as well

How much prefer the killzone universe to that of Horizon's.
