Should Sony release a game to counter Halo 3?

I'm not sure if Halo 3 is enough to attract new consumers. Halo 3 will be for the diehard Xbox fan and I would say that every xbox fanboy owns a 360. Sony's counter will be that it will have a great library of games at the time of Halo's release. 360 will only have Halo 3.bamf03

I won't buy a 360 cause my friend owns it and we share systems constantly, but I would buy a 360 for Halo, and that's coming from a longtime original XBOX hater. I have to admit, Gears and Halo are truly the bomb-diggity that Sony needs to match up to.

Where you been? Read all the posts. Killzone 2 of course.

I beat killzone on the PS2, it was nothing great, whats the big deal about killzone?......I dident find Halo to be that great either though.MrBrownstone1

Halo was praised more for evolving the FPS genre in terms of physics and possibilities rather than how good it actually was as a functioning game. Personally, I found Killzone good, but man, if they deliver on all their promises for Killzone 2, we could be looking at finally having the new bar set for FPS games on our console! Gears of What?

Yes and No, I think Sony Products are great, I have a Sony laptop, HDTV and I think that they really just need to come out with a really good online multiplayer game that people will just have to have. Otherwise Sony is doing a great job.

Maybe good old Snake will be rolling around at that time, to stick some metal gear up halo's butt lol. I got nothing against halo, but i thought that the first one was better.

not to counter but make a game that is the exact opisite of halo. because when you think shooter you think halo. i want to see something complelty original that would make people say,"i want to see where ths game goes i already know what halo is like"apc2007

Killzone 2 counters Halo 3 Forza counters GTHD MGS4 counters SPLINTER CELL (exclusives) Blue Dragon counters White Knight Countering is the name of the gameKSD22

you can't compare Forza to GTHD thats a game to a demo i will always think of GT when it comes to driving just so much choice in there games

I'd kind of rather they release a virus that destroys every copy of the game altogether. Only then will I be spared hearing "Halo 3 this" and "Halo 3 that" every 5 seconds after it comes out. RurouniSaiyajin

Most people feel the same way about Killzone 2. Except Halo actually has a good track record.

i in no way know why Halo is such a praised series, i've played throuh the first  one and most of the second one, hours and hours on multiplayer both online and off, and i just don't get what the fuss was about.

if they were going for innovation Killzone 1 sure had it, i mean they incorporated so many things in there that hadn't really been done!  it just was to much for the PS2 to handle, i think Killzone 2 will be a fresh new and excellent shooter, Halo is getting kind of old, i mean we know what to expect from the third installment and its just more of the same.

sure sequels are great (usually) but in a next generation console era its the new and inventive game the average consumer is looking for, not just another sequel.  Imean look at some of the most anticipated and best games of the next gen, i mean Dead Rising, Motorstorm, LIttle Big Planet, Heavenly Sword, RFOM, all of which completely new and great concepts.

The big difference between that seperates sony from the other next gen consoles this time around is that they're not relying as heavily on sequels, sure MGS4 and FF XIII are still going to be console movers, but when sequels take over the game libraries its really great to se fresh new titles.  Sequels are what they are, continuations of something we've played already.

AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE!! "CAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO!",...sorry.

the winner of the next generation consoles will be the one who can create the best new games, because face it, when you start releasing games that are basically the same as the last game, but with a few new things and a different number at the end of the title it might just be time to let them die. Nintendo for example has made about a thousand Zelda, Metroid, and Mario games, they really need to reinvent there icon, yes mario is good fun but for 25 years?

Not interested in either. Halo isn't very good in my opinion, and neither was Killzone for that matter. I'm more interested in Gears of War 2 and Socom 4
