Even though Killzone 2 has the most hype out of those games listed so it has the highest chance to flop, I don't think any of those games listed will flop, or I hope so.
halo recon's a $30 game with a 4 hour campaign...if anyones hyping it AAA they have no clue what theyre talking about

How can it flop if people aren't expecting it to be this huge blockbuster then? It will sell a ton, and will be a great addition, but people realise its not a full fledged game. And it can get AAA easily, look at The Orange Box that just bundled 2 games with Half-Life that weren't "full" games and it got 9.5.

The OB is one of the best value package EVER realeased in history of gaiming It's up there with Super Mario All Stars

Yeah, this 'expansion' appears to be equivalent to something like Half-Life 2's episodes. If that's any indication of expectant quality, then Recon/ODST (whatever it's called) should be better than Halo 3 itself. I'd be excited about this if I found the Halo universe to be the least bit compelling. While I don't think it'll get AAA, it most definitely won't flop.
You only put H3 Recon up there to get to lemmings. It's an expansion. You might as well put GTA4 DLC up there. Killzone 2 is a prime candidate to flop. LBP is performing poorly saleswise and so is the PS3. This past NPD day, SOCOM flopped hard. Resistance 2 sold less than 400K. Heavy hitters for the PS3rd have sucked and Dec NPD numbers will look worse. KZ2 will suffer.

Yes, because sales = quality. How could we forget?

what does have sales to do with future games scoring hypes? If that were that were the case all 09 wii games should get AAA :?
Halo 3: Recon - a AAA franchise (but i dont see a point to a 5 hour addon) Killinzone 2 - maybe Heavy Rain - maybe Bioshock 2 - a AAA franchise, should continue Resident Evil 5 - even if it's the same as 4, it is an automatic AAA
KZ2 will prolly get 8.5 which i dont see as a flop. Only hype it gets from everyone is graphics. The other people who hype it to be halo killer and all that are stupid sony fanboys which makes every other sony owner look like a nub. I am a sony fanboy but also respect all other consoles. for xmas ill be getting a x360 which makes me a 360 fanboy as well.

Since you're asking for the "biggets" (biggest :P) flop that would mean the flop which would cause the most buzz by flopping. Quite clearly that would be Halo 3: Recon. A halo name flopping?! SW and the world would probably explode.
The game with the highest CHANCE of flopping would probably be Heavy Rain. It seems like its testing a radically new gameplay style which might not work out, not to mention not too much news on it overall.
However, I don't think any game in that list will flop.
since none of them will flop IMO...and will all be good games(and no i could care less that they might all get 8.0s) The real answers are Ninja Blade and Quantom THeory....THEY WILL SUCK.....Count on it.

Im so with you there. NB and QT look like such complete trash. I would love to be proven wrong, but I doubt I will :?

Killzone 2 for sure, if it doesn't get AAA it's going to be a repeat of Twilight Princess in late 06. Now TP only missed out by 0.2 from being an AAA title, so if say K2 gets say an 8 or so the forums are going to be fillt with with never ending amounts of K2 hate and Cow bashing for probably a week or two. Plus K2 wont have an co-op to help bump up it's score like with R2 so with just single player and online VS I think it's going to be hard for K2 to get AAA, unless it's Single Player is actually any good.

Have they shown any gameplay of Quantum Theory? no not yet, but it looks really dodgey :? Wow think about how that sentence doesnt make any sense? No footage but "it looks really dodgey?" C'mon, if your gonna bash a game then at least wait for the gameplay to surface. I agree with NB cuz it looks terrible, but lets hold off on QT.
killinzone2? what is that, you're poor attempt at a joke? lol bad call. Anyways, Killzone 2 will not flop thats guaranteed, I'm talking both sales and critics, the preview code all the critics recently got was and the very good beta was more than enough assurance this game will deliver. And Halo: Recon shouldn't even be listed. Its just an expansion and its only like 5 hours long right? I can't see why Heavy Rain is listed because I don't think anyone is expecting that game to sell like crazy, but i'm sure it will do fairly well with reviews. Bioshock 2 won't disappoint thats for damn sure. i'm going with Resident Evil 5 i seriously think that game might not live up to its expectations. But I'm sure it will though. Its just you didn't give us a very good list.

socom flopped hard? that game actually sold very well for being online only, and if any of the critics (other than 1up.com) were to re-review it now, or even after the 1.3 patch, they would change there scores for sure. it only launched with technical issues, no different than how gears 2 online took forever or didn't even join matches. you're just a straight up fanboy dude, thats why you got all pissy about him mentioning halo 3 recon
