Well this is a issue i wanted to talk about seeing how, most people are saying that killzone should not be called the "halo-killer" because it is a different game with it's own unique storyline. However, i don't see the point in why people are blaming ps3 fans for calling it a "halo-killer", it was not the ps3 fanboys, it was the media who portrayed it as a "halo-killer".

actually Sony fans started saying that this game will be their answer to Halo, and the media picked up on it, and as usual, blew it out of proportion

Killzone received a great deal of hype in June 2003 when video game websites began releasing previews and rumors about the game, so it was not sony fanboys.

Here's the thing, Sony doesn't need a Halo killer. Sony needs depth, which is exactly what they are doing right now. Instead of basing almost their entire console's marketing strategy on one awesome game (and you can't deny it's awesome, or it wouldn't have sold the way it does), they are building game genres for EVERY gamer. This is the main reason I went with Sony this gen.

Their will be no Halo-killer, because their is no need. What are the opposition going to have after X-Mas, nothing that I've seen. I gazillion more shooters maybe. Who cares, let them have it. I'll be too busy playing all my many different types of games to notice.

Lets just let Killzone 2 speak for itself. Because it is already looking amazing.

Also, killzone doesn't need to be called the halo-killer, the game itself will blast halo back to hell, I think it should be called

sony's version of heaven

Halo is not dead, it has to large a fan base. You have to learn to get used to that, no matter what system you own.

What happens if the big N or M$ comes out with a platform action/adventure that is 3 time longer and prettier than GoW, does that mean GoW is dead? Hell no, God of War will always have a loyal fanbase. Why, because it's an awesome game. Same as Halo.

Just wanted to add that the only console I own is PS3, so please save the M$ fanboy remarks, Im a realist.

I said this in the other post about this.

Killzone 2 is not a halo killer because they're on different platforms and so can't directly compete against each other. But if they were both on the same platform maybe it could be a Halo Killer. but they would probably both sell on the same platform as they're completely different in every way (except for being FPS's)

exactly the same reason why i chose the ps3 because of variety just like what the ps1 and ps2 had. your right sony doesnt need a halo-killer-type game its variety that had won the last two generations for them

Here's the thing....Theonly real Halo killer, is a game that will convert Halo fans into fans of the new game...this will not happen with Killzone. The only real thing that can kill Halo, is another game on the 360 that gathers a fan base as large as Halo did. Just enjoy the games that you have on your system. I picked the PS3 because i love the variety that they bring to the table. i couldnt stand to play Halo as much as some people do. In my honest opinion,I had more fun playing Resistance then I ever did playing Halo. But i still only played Resistance for a few months before getting bored.

Perhaps I never gave it a fair shot, but I played Halo and I simply did not like it...although I am not saying it is a good game, just not my type of game. Killzone looks more my type in that it is more gritty, more "real" as opposed to a cartoonish look. Ultimately though, I suspect games like Rainbow Six will always be my favorite shooters.

I'm amazed that someone would actually spend time dwelling on something like this. Who cares who said it was a Halo-killer? Fanboys have said much more stupid things than that.

am i the only one that thinks halo is dead?DuhQbnSiLo

im with u, besides why do always someone has to say something smart, who cares wat media is sayin who cares wat fanboys orxfanboys are saying, ps3 is doin well, ps3 owners should be happy and lay back and wait for the games to arrive and not complain or say this is halo killer, or my system can do this or that, i honestly imo dont give a rats a$$, i own a ps3, wii and thats it, i go after systems that i trust and has the games i need, why always people have to argue or fight over something that u have no control of?? anyways duhqbnsilo is rite though halo been dead since halo 2, and even though kz2 and halo is different games and story line, i personally think it will smash it

I hate the term "fanboys", let's keep those kind of monikers in System Wars where they belong.

Yep.

Those terms should only be used in System Wars folks.
