Its doubtfull. I can see it with KillZone 2 especially it gets awesome reviews before its release. The problem with MSG4 is that its a Konami game and sony would have a tough time promoting out house game. That why I am thinking with KillZone 2 they might do it.

Now don't take this wrong, but even with all that marketing blitz for KZ2 it won't reach the hype of Halo 3. But it would be nice to see some PS3 ad blitzes especially with a potential AAA game such as KZ2

Possible, VERY UNLIKELY, they need a new franchise with unique story and gameplay and graphics, all, and just hype it up, make it a cult classic, nd thats not easy

not anytime soon, it's taken years for halo to build this much hype, I think the only thing that could come close is GTA, and, well, that's no longer sony exclusive, so Metal Gear is the best we got, still isn't gonna come anywhere close though

In NA? Unlikely but anything can happen. It would be nice to get some publicity around games for ps3 but i dont think it will happen.

Overseas maybe it could...Sony needs to stop stacking money and focus

I think they'll try with Killzone...they won't shoot for nearly as much as Halo, but they'll still try to get the game out into the public eye. They've put a lot of money into that game so you know they're going to want people to know about it.

People are forgetting already...??? M$ shelled out a ton of money to promote Halo3...I mean it already had the popularity among the gaming community but they really had to push it into the mainstream. And as one person said before, it took years for Halo to build up thiis type of hype....but if I had to pick a game from Sony that could challenge Halo's hype in the mainstream, I woud have to go with MG.

no , i dont see this happening. halo 3 is EVERYWHERE. i mean EVERYWHERE. i just dont see sony or any1 besides MS putting this kind of money into advertising and hype. would be cool to see that but, how much money do you think they put into advertising halo3??? ill tell you, more than they will prolly ever make off the game imo. but, like i said, it would be cool to see a huge sony title everywhere like this. even tho im not a halo fan, or really a MS fan at that, you got to give it to them on making sure ervery1 sees halo3 lol.

Why does Sony have to hype a game release? If its a good game, the word alone would get out and not having to spend lots of money marketing would be enough. Reputation alone is all Sony needs.

out of the 3 i think its MS that needs toout dohalo more than sony or nintendo

they have a very challenging task of trying to duplicate its success with future games, which is unfortunate because every game for the box will be compared to Halo in terms of sales and will probably never reach it

everyone who has a 360 will be looking for the next "halo" which isnt going to happen or is very unlikely.

Sony doesnt need to match it, because PS isnt know for just one game. MS does. So MS will need to prove they can put out something else other than halo and prove their more than just a one trick pony

sure theres gears of war 2, but will it duplicate halo in terms of success? probably not.

Anyone can burn money. It burns just as easily as paper.

Real games stand up on their own, without bribes and without colossal amounts of money spent on marketing and advertising.

I have a very good argument against that statement, but I'll save it, as this isn't system wars...
