Why so much Killzone hype?

The first killzone wasnt that amazing. I agree with those (I think all ps fans lol) that say the KZ2 trailer is a big deal. That was very nice, rendered or not. But I dont think all this hype should be built on 1 video. The original killzone controls were sluggish and it took forever to kill someone in multiplayer. Hopefully KZ2 will speed things upblitzinger123

With the 120 Dev team, over 100 million dollars to make the amount of time they've had and how quiet they've kept this title, I think it will be amazing :DG-Legend

Well Final Fantasy games cost around that much, and if you think about it if they get great sales (especially if they live up to the hype) they will make that back easily. Each game retails for $59.99 if they sell 1 million copies theres 60 million. And that's if they sell 1 million I'm betting if they live up to the hype they will sell around 2 million or so.

Killzone 1 was a great game, with a little bit more polish it could have been AMAZING. It is underrated.MGS9150

Okay well they'll atleast make some money off of the games and considering Sony pays them too.

Oh I remember reading $100 million and that it was the most for a Netherland Developed game ever.

I'm hoping it does, and i dont doubt the hardware. But Idont think it is gonna be like the trailer. Phil Harrison said motor storm looks like the E3 trailer, but i disagree. The E3 trailer was more vivid, and fluid in motion mohammad112388

What trailer are you looking at? Sure Motorstorm doesnt LOOK like its trailer but changed art direction(more brighter and vibrant) and different lighting(The RETAIL GAME is vivid, the E3 trailer was dark and gloomy like). Fluid in motion, not really its about the same ingame. It just lacks the in car view imo.

To recognize Killzone E305 was CGI was so easy a caveman can do it.kinq

I don't know how many people worked on the first killzone or how much money they put into the game but killzone 2 has around 120 people working on it and not to mention over 100 million dollars being spent on to make the game.

If I had to bet I would say the first killzone didn't spend half of a 100 million dollars to make the game and probably didn't have near the amount of people working on the game.

All the hype is not built on one trailer, but the fact that there is hardly any information on the game, Sony is keeping it very secretive, is know doubt an indication of making it a suprise to everyone. I do believe this game is gonna push the PS3's power and suprise everyone. There's already been word of it looking like the trailer and some aspects of it exceeding the trailer. And you cannot deny the killzone 2 trailer was awesome.Goku004

$100 mill? u sure? it took about 10 mill to make Gears. u sure it's that much more expensive?  u know with that math they'll have to sell  approx. 1.7 million copies just to break even. if u don't belive me do the simple math. Gears sold about 2 mil. and we can only hope KZ will sell that much but they'll nedd to sell way more than that to make a real profit, and i don't see that happening. I didn't look but you should check your sources on those insane numbers.

Remember, KZ2 has cost over $20 million SO FAR. By the time it gets even close to being finished, that number will have gone way up.

Also, i agree, KZ1 was very underrated. Aside from a few graphical glitches (draw distances, etc.) the game was great. I really like the KZ universe. I'm not really into fps, so i need a good story to get me into a shooter. The whole Helghast conflict was really interesting.  

The devs at the time were rushed, and they were rookies.  They are improving, though, as shown by KZ: Liberation.

Also, KZ2 is being worked on by more than just the original 40-man team from Guerilla.  Sony has added another 80 of its own developers to the team, making it a total of 120 devs working on KZ2, more than any other game, ever, to my knowledge.

Very few games have ever passed the $20 million budget mark.  Lost Planet cost roughly $20 million in the end and Gears of War cost less than $10 million.  For KZ2 to have already surpassed $20 million, and yet to still be this far from completion, plus the added 80 devs, shows just how much Sony is putting into this game. 

The first killzone wasnt that amazing. I agree with those (I think all ps fans lol) that say the KZ2 trailer is a big deal. That was very nice, rendered or not. But I dont think all this hype should be built on 1 video. The original killzone controls were sluggish and it took forever to kill someone in multiplayer. Hopefully KZ2 will speed things upblitzinger123

hype is there for killzone 2 not only for the video, but because the original killzone had so much potential to be much better than what the final product came out to be, and if killzone: liberation is any indication then the devs really are working their butts off to make sure that the potential that killzone has doesn't go to waste when they finish working on killzone 2. onemic

I agree, I LOVE KZ:LB, really fun game but my PSP broke AGAIN on me so i have to wait for a new LCD screen... The PSP is an amazing handheld...when its working!

Kilzzone 1 WAS amazing. It was underrated. It was a solid 8.0+ game. It sold well. They had high ambitions and iIt was limited by PS2 hardware, PS3 wont limit Guerilla.truesKill87

I'm one of those who actually did like Killzone. I liked the art direction, story, and weapons (except for the stupid sniper rifle). I think it was underrated mainly because of the hype surrounding it but despite it's glitches I thought it was a solid enough game to build a franchise on.

We have to rememeber that Killzone was Guerilla's first shooter and maiden big game project. Even Halo didn't just come out of nowhere for Bungie. Prior to Halo Bungie had put out at least two Marathon games for the Mac so they already had two shooters under their belt before coming out with Halo. I say we give Guerrila another chance to deliver but just not get too hyped over a game we so far have little concrete knowledge of.

If they do put out a demo to challenge the Halo 3 beta and it delivers that would be something. Let's at least wait til then.

6.9/10 does not sound like a lie to me.
