Sony should just AXE the KZ franchise.

I mean really is anyone going to loose a wink of sleep if we did not see KZ3? Not to mention it would seem the budget to make this game will not meet the demand of worth while sales at this point. I think that Sony should just put this baby to bed.RonJonx10

Same could be said about CoD and Halo :roll:

They should axe it because it doesnt have teh salez?

Then they should also axe:

• Uncharted Franchise
• Resistance Franchise
• inFamous Franchise
• LBP Franchise

Seeing as they dont have the sales as CoD or Halo....

Seriously....

Games>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales

btw:

Uncharted >(x100)> CoD and Halo

Not saying that KZ1 and KZ2 are not ok. Well KZ1 was buggy and bad framerate because of PS2 being weak. And KZ2 was a nifty graphics game that had mild interest but ended up having just ave sales. It was more of ok need to try the game to see if they met the E3 demo expectations but the online community dried up fairly fast. Anyway what I'm saying is we all know it's COD and Halo. And we all know KZ was Sony's attemp to crack that market and hope to have there halo type game on there system. It just did not happen the story and game world of KZ is just bland and boring no one cares about really. I mean really is anyone going to loose a wink of sleep if we did not see KZ3? Not to mention it would seem the budget to make this game will not meet the demand of worth while sales at this point. I think that Sony should just put this baby to bed.RonJonx10

KZ2 DID not have Average sales. and it's to be considered much like a new IP. It's worse than a new IP. A new IP has no reputation. KZ2 came off of KZ1's BAD, NEGATIVE reputation, and is building on that.

It did a great job, and is only going to get better.

Did KZ2 sell like Wii Fit or a HALO game? No, like I said it was a bad name from KZ1, and has the tough job of winning over new folks. Still, it's selling and will keep selling as more and more people discover that gem of a game. KZ3 is going to step that effort up in a big way.

Quality wise, KZ1 and KZ2 are completely different games. They shouldn't even be in the same sentence. Go to Metacritic to check it out.

COD started off slow for consoles (didn't have a bad rap either), the old Medal of Honor started slow (didn't have a negative image to overcome), it takes time to build a franchise. Now that KZ2 is out, the engine is primed, and it's sold incredibly well for a series with a bad rap, Sony is primed for a sequel...and you think it would be good to stop?

KZ2 brought the KILLZONE franchise back to life. Now that it's alive and recieved so incredibly well critically, and has sold well considering, now is the perfect time to release a killer sequel. Improving the graphics, adding MP people want more of, etc. All those new 35+ million PS3 owners are primed and ready. It's building a good series, and that's hard part was KZ2 being of quality, the easy part is KZ3 building on KZ2's amazing engine.

This is not a good idea. No way. It may have been a good idea not to make KZ2 while the reputation of KZ1 was poor, but now that KZ2 came out to such amazing success critically, as well as great sales considering the variables (PS3, FPS, Bad Reputation to overcome), this is the foundation KZ3 needs to become a great franchise.

Look at Uncharted to Uncharted 2 Metacritic wise.

Well, all stats aside... if anyone was to lose sleep over Halo or CoD, that person has some issues. :roll:

Axing a decent franchise just because the sales don't equate to two of the biggest selling franchises of all time is... well silly.

No thanks.

Again who GIVE A **** about the Helgiest right yeah i know no one.RonJonx10

You obviously weren't around by the time of this Helghast vs Locust Horde poll was around... the Helghast slaughtered the Locusts. :roll:

Please avoid further embarrasment by not talking non-sense.

Better game than COD that's for sure, doesn't matter what numbers they post.

Is this thread the birth of a lemming??

No, they shouldn't. What they need to do is hire better writers, put out some actual marketing, and really showcase the franchise as a premiere shooter on the Playstation 3. I still think there's plenty of potential. I just think it needs something to make it stand out more.

Its certainly there better FPS Exclusive IMO. I think theyll keep making them for a while, theyre great games.

You need to just face it TC...KZ is to PS3 as HALO is to 360. Its simple. PLUS why in the world would they not make a new KZ game? I mean, KZ2 got nearly perfect reviews by everyone. Its looked at as a nearly perfect FPS. Yes I have said this exact same thing before. Watch the reviews here on GS if you doubt me. The game is praised by everyone accept most other console fanboys.

Sony needs to market this series better and maybe it'll become more popular too.

KZ2 sold well enough to warrant a sequel. Like Solid said, it renewed the franchise and if KZ3 is just as good, it will probably sell more.

A bit off-topic--I've always wanted to get KZ2. Paticularly for the MP. It's relatively cheap now--but is the MP community alive?

no they should axe resistance

KZ2 was a good game and something different, R2 on the other hand sucked and feltvery generic

I say we "axe" the TC

go nuke your self in outer space please

I say we "axe" the TC

^What he said^^ :P

I agree with this because more people are playing the Halo Reach beta than Killzone 2. Hell more people are still playing Halo 2. Killzone should be killed, in my personal educated reality of opinions.reanimatedchamp

The only reason why i think they should axe it is because i am just not a fan of the universe i hope that with KZ3 they move off of helgahn and go to a more interesting planet.

Microsoft should Axe Halo because it clearly doesn't have the sales of GT. I mean would anyone lose any sleep if the next Halo didn't come out? And while we are at it, GT should be cancelled because it doesn't have the sales of "Wii" games (i.e. WiiSports, Wiifit).
