Killzone 2 Set for Impressive launch in the UK

PlayStation Gamer Uk Writes: "Being able to find great gaming bargins here in the UK as retailers try and get people to spend money again, every so often I look online to see what gems i can find with a small budget. However over the last few days i have noticed that Killzone 2 seems to be topping all the sales charts."

worldwide , i have it pre-orderd the game a month ago,

You all will be Killzowned!

resistance1006311d ago

I suspect it will be more along the lines of 600K first week worldwide.

However word of mouth and people just seeing its stunning visuals will ensure that it keeps on selling and after 2months may have sales near the 3million mark

shingo6311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

I'M BUYING THE F**K OUT OF THIS GAME! >:(

TWO COPIES. YES.

jammy_706311d ago

thats what iv heard plus play.com #1 this WILL sell way over 1 million in its 1st week
it will seel over 5million in its 1st 6 months whatya think? :P

resistance1006311d ago

@jammy_70

No it hasn't, i will be very very surprised if worldwide pre-orders topped 500K let alone 1million

dustgavin6311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

Noooo. I heard preorders are well over a million at the moment and climbing.

whoelse6311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

Its #1 at Amazon and Play.com video games with just under a month still to go and with a demo also coming this week and a £2 million marketing campaign from mid-Feb. I predict around 1.5-2 mil first week.

Pre order yet buy it on day one or day twooo or pre orderrr come on people lets make this game sell as much as MGS4

xg-ei8ht6311d ago

First Week Sales 2million.

Omega46311d ago

Its quite shocking that Killzone 2 has already been discounted by over 30% before its even released im sure it would sell decently at its regular price

And come to think about it LBP has been £18 like forever, why dont they just officially say its a PS3 platinum game

resistance1006311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

You are aware that all games are coming down in price. You can Pre-Order Street Fighter IV for £26 and Resi 5 for £32

The reasons for it are simply, UK retailers are scared of going the way of woolworths and zavvi and are doing all they can to make sure they don't and try to get people in the Uk buying things again.

Also its competition, at present people are looking for the cheapest price and not minding who it is from, so in order to stay competitive they have to keep prices in line with other retailers

Also i don't know where you got the 30% from, while yes its true games RRP at £44.99-49.99, they have never been sold at that price in the UK, most launch at a price between £35-39.99

Omega46311d ago

I really dont think retailers like Amazon and Play are that afraid of ending up like woolies especially amazon

But im not complaining i just dont see why does it only happen to major PS3 games why not 360 and Wii games too, shouldnt these offers effect everyone

resistance1006311d ago

@Omega4

It does happen to 360 games as well

FEAR 2 (360)- £27.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fea...

Street Fighter IV (360) - £27.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Str...

Shellshock 2 (360) - £29.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/She...

And yes Play and Amazon probally won't worry about that, However they will be worried about a dip in sales which has lead to them lowering prices.

Still its only since about December when this Price crash on games has happened, before all games launched at £39.99

heyheyhey6311d ago (Edited 6311d ago )

Omega spreads BS and gets killzowned... again... why do you make stuff up if you know they're not true?

prices are going down everywhere in the UK due to the recession... this inlcudes all systems

eagle216311d ago

I am shocked 360 is so bargain bin dirt cheap and still not top of amazon uk where PS3 and Wii lives. :)

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX570d ago (Edited 570d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne570d ago (Edited 570d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro570d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken570d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown570d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72570d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken570d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya570d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast570d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood570d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro799d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72799d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_799d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga799d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23799d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000799d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin799d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole799d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix799d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989799d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

799d ago
Michiel1989799d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1103d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1103d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1103d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491103d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381103d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1103d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1103d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381103d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1103d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761103d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1103d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1103d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1103d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1103d ago (Edited 1103d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1103d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1103d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
