Half a year later. Did Killzone 2 reach it's goal?

What exactly was their goal? :S

To release a game that receives good reviews? I think they did that.

Killzone 2 is a AAA title and I'm sure they like that. Whether the hype of sales got into their head or not, I am not sure. Killzone 2 didn't burst in sales like hyped, so I suppose it fails there.

It's a solid game which I occassionally play online.

One can probably say, they're goal was to beat HALO 3, in every department especially in the wow department which HALO combat evolved got when it was released on the original Xbox, sony wanted to turn the tables and dumped millions of dollars on a group of 150 team members, sony's plan din't go to well, I doubt they'll dump money into killzone 3, enjoy it cows the series ain't gonna get any better than this.

--- Guerrilla Games made an amazing game. Sure the budget and development team was high, but the same can be said for many AAA games this generation.

sony's goal was to beat HALO, it was evident with killzone 1 how they said it was going to be a HALO killer, I must admitt guerilla din't say that, but sony wanted it to be the HALO killer, hence they pumped millions of dollars into this year project of 150 developers, is it not evident ?_Peoples_Champ_

[QUOTE="h575309"][QUOTE="MassiveKaos"]Killzone 2 being the best console game graphically so far is a FACT not opinion so i dont see what you are trying to say?

if their goal was to make an eye candy game then they succeeded.

if their goal was to make a game that was unique they failed misserably.

if their goal was to actually sell quite a bit they failed.

if their goal was to make a game that actually played good and did what it does which is generic good then they failed miserably.

If their goal was to sell ps3's well they failed cause the game hasn't helped close the gap.

Easily. They went from average to superb within 1 sequal.

I dont think there was no way KZ2 could have ever failed. Im guessing that whenever it looked crap, Sony just gave GG extra time and funds. So it would have continued untill they made it good.

I'm still playing it. I just got into the new maps, they are awesome. Beach head is insane. It's like D-Day in KZ2's atmosphere=winCouth_

looks like it sold just under 2 million worldwide. Not great, but not awful.Jandurin

Only 2 million? What the hell do cows buy? :S, sony should just release their games multiplatform and be done with it.

For one thing unlike all those lemmings said, people haven't 'forgot' about Killzone 2. I still play it online occasionally.

Yeah. I love the flash and thunder map pack. Favorite of the three. I love Southern Hills, especially when the nuke goes off in the middle of a search and destroy mission ^,^

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] since when is 2 million bad in half a year?Animal-Mother

That doesn't change the fact it's not selling as it should. I don't even recall a MGS ad but that sold like crazy.

Man I've never got frustrated. But if one thing could Radec on elite. Any tips?Animal-Mother

I'm not saying it's bad, but when we look at the high profile games on other consoles and compare it .. then yea... not to mention the amount of money this game cost to develop and ship out, I don't think they saw much of a profit from it.

And how do you know how it should sell. And how many successful games did MGS4 come off of?Animal-Mother

That is true, MGS is an established franchise, But a game like gears came along as a new IP and sold like crazy. I was expecting KZ 2 to be the PS3s gears type IP, literally flying off shelves, but so far it isn't living up to that.

Well, they created the best looking game on consoles, redeemed themesleves for their flop of a first game andcreated an excellent AAA FPS which is very fun to play. I think they succeeded. Unless they wanted their game to sell like Halo or Gran Turismo.

I would say so considering it was one of the few FPS titles with one of the most fun campaigns since CoD2 and a BRILLIANT multiplayer. The only thing that brought it down for me was that you couldn't play as the helghast and there was no co-op.

Now I haven't actually played the game but here's my two cents.

It sold relatively well, was incredibly pretty and was a huge improvement over its predecessor. So, yeah, I think it reached at least some of its goals.

nope im sure geurilla games wishes they some how made that game for both or exclusivley for 360 lol, the sales for PS3 were just weak

but on to the game, i loved the single player but rarely play the multiplayer

Killzone 2 only has graphics IMO. Gameplay was beyond extremely generic; your average linear run-and-gun shooter with poor story, stereotypical characters and bad voice acting. The multiplayer is overrated (again, IMO). Nothing I haven't seen, but not bad either. But what really destroyed the game was the terrible movement controls. I don't really know what they were trying to acheive there, but it ruined the entire point of the "FPS" part of the game.

good game that looks great, lack of co-op was dissapointing since after all the big 360 franchises it's something i'm used to being in a modern shooter but hey, y'know you don't get everything you want all the time

no it has not this game is bigger than killzone2 and resistance2 says sony producer

[QUOTE="HAZE-Unit"]

Well guerilla is giving access to all sony inhouse right?

I think so, i read somewhere this engine is going to be used in other games, I don't really remember though if that was about the uncharted 2 engine or KZ2 engine but I think Sony parties share alot of tech.

In the god of war 3 trailer, the sky looks somehow the same as in KZ2 so I think they learned to do that from GG.

look at the first moments in the trailer.

NielsNL

I think with the engines of both KZ2 and Uncharted Sony has two superb engines to work with.

kz2 online is brilliant, thats all i wanted tbh :)

Guerilla tried their best but the game is plain average in every caregory except graphics. They just don't have talent.

I'd say so. The game is great. It's taken many patches to perfect the game, though. At first the game's controls were really flawed, but now they're perfect. Gameplay is perfect, gunplay is amazing, visuals are great. KZ2 is a great shooter imo.
