Which would you consider a bigger flop? Killzone on the ps2 or Lair on the ps3? Killzone scored higher but it was hyped a lot higher.
On a side note, MS's latest hyped hit scored a 9.0. Sony's scored a 4.5. If you haven't noticed, that makes Lair HALF of Bioshock. Ouch.

I honestly think that Lair is the biggest flop in the history of gaming. That's pretty bad too, considering the massive flops we have had in previous years.

I think he meant Bioshock. And I think Lair is a bigger flop. PS2 had avery good selection when Killzone came out, unlike PS3 in desparate need of some AAA killer Apps

I think Daikatana is still a bigger flop. Lair is comparable in terms of hype-to-actual score ratio, but Lair actually did succeed in what it was hyped for, which is graphics.

killzone was a bigger flop, common you cant beat "teh hal0 killer....", but Lair kicked the Cows when they were down, so it hurt more. ps3 really needs some AAA, but the ps2 at that time didnt.

Killzone wins because it was hyped as teh halo killer of that generation and when something is hyped against a game like halo it better deliver and KZ only didnt deliver it bombed on every front. Lair was hyped as "teh gears killer" but that was only for graphics as soon as cows realized they made a mistake they stop hyping it AAA and went down to AA.

Killzone 2 is going to be a big flop too. EGM said the AI is stupid as hell.

Yeah, the AI from the videos is pretty concerning.

Hopefully they fix it, I'd be perfectly happy with an 8.5 score (which would still be a flop, seeing as the game is too good looking not to get AAA hype).

yeah i think it was the 1up podcast where they said they had a hands on with the game, and it played like a pretty generic shooter and the AI was very scripted, cant imagine a bigger flop than the original killzone...sigh

because its a traditional jrpg, people have been spoiled with this new age trash. Back to the roots, like the good ol snes, PS1 and PS2 days.

How it should be ;)
