Helghan fever - Killzone 2 sells over a million units since launch |
Ó
The Helghan-raiding fever reaches epic proportions as Killzone 2 sells over a million copies since its launch back in February 29th, 2009. "Killzone 2 has been the fastest SCEA PS3 title to break the 500,000 unit mark [in North America] and it's also the highest selling SCEA PS3 title for the first 30 days out of launch," said Sony Computer Entertainment of America Vice President of Product Marketing Scott Steinberg. "So far, we are extremely happy with the results."
Killzone 2 "exceeded our expectations" Steinberg said. But it doesn't end there. Killzone 2 is also set to get new DLC by the end of April, tentatively at the very least. The DLC, which contains two new maps, will be a big hit for those who count themselves among the million, and maybe win over the others who still haven't picked up a copy.

Gears of war 2 sold over 2 million on just its lauch weekend.
Sonys best title is not selling so fast is it? -.-
well, considering there much more gun-shooting idiots like you on 360's side and 8 million consoles more sold, it's pretty pathetic that they just sold 2 million titles, don't you think?
Stop posting here, everybody just laughs at you.
too bad gears 2 was an overhiped piece of crap that 2 million loosers bought n played for a week.
Well.. considering that GoW2 is probably the only game that most would want on your system, no surprise that it sold more.
On the PS3 side, there's so many other awesome games that keeps players occupied.
first i was impressed with GeOW2 numbers compared with killzone. but then i realized that the majority of people who have a 360 are in the US, and most of them love FPS, and dont forget that 360 has 8 million more units than the ps3, which aprox 5 million are in the US.
The majority of people who have a ps3 live in Japan, and they don't like FPS.
You lost your credibility when you started talking about FPS. Is GeOW2 a FPS? No.
ok GeOW is not a FPS
but i think my POINT is clear and obvious, if you don't get it is not my problem.
Somalaina batsrad
Fair enough i got your point, but i still got some questions.
You say that the 360 is the console where the majority loves FPS, however, if it this was true wouldn't you think that people would choose the Ps3 over the 360 since the Ps3 has so many more AAA Fps games than the 360?
This talk of 360 being a FPS console is old and not true anymore.
ALL U SOMALIAN LOVING PS3 MOTHER *****ERS. WHY DONT YOU GO *****ING GET CUM SHOTTED IN THE EYE YOU *****ING FILTHY ASS LICKING SOMALIANS. ALL YOU DO ALL DAY IS GET PENETRATED IN THE ASS BY A MONSTER HORSE ***** AND INHALE *****S THROUGH YOUR NOSE. YOU *****ING HAVE BACKUP *****S INCASE YOUR LEECHED *****S GET STUCK IN YOUR THROAT *****ING AIDS FILLED ***** ASS *****S. YOU HAVE OVER 9000 *****S.
Your language skills amaze us. So many different words to insult us. You even use rascist insults!
yeah, you totally beat us. You must be the coolest person on the internet.
of course, im not saying the ps3 has more shooters than 360, or that ps3 shooters are better. Japanese loves RPGs, US people love shooters.
The reason people choose 360 over ps3, even if ps3 has better shooters is the price of the console. People tend to buy the cheapest console if they dont do research.
Also, GeOW is a great game( at least for me), along with many other 360 games. So, if a great shooter is released in a market where a lot of people love shooters, and in a cheap console that its base is in a country or region where alot of peole love shooters, then it is obvious that the game will sell a lot.
i don't know if i explained myself right, english is not my first language
base is a country where almost everyone loves
Will probably beat this game in sales. Not everyone are FPS fans or they are CoD4 fans which really affected the sales for this game. There hasn't been a good action game since DMC4 and even that sucked because of all the backtracking. I have a 360 and I blame it for making this gens games standards low with the crappy DVD9.
i dont have a 360 and yet even i know dvd9 hasn't lowered the quality of games this gen papajag, just as a 800GB blu-ray wouldn't have increased the standards of ps3 games. just as putting blu-ray on ps2 wouldn't make it as good as 360 and ps3. the quality we see is mostly down to the graphics chip, cpu and memory of the consoles, not the size of the disc the games are stored on.
yeah dvd is a little bit small to be ideal, meaning multidisc for games where ps3 only needs one disc, like ffxiii, but blu-ray is slower than dvd on the 360, meaning hd installs for many of my ps3 games to improve load times. so nothings perfect.
anyways 1 million is great for kz2 so far. good work sony and guerilla.
isn't it time you grew up melty?
I should have reworded a little bit. I'm talking about the length of the games. Every dev is so obsessed with fitting it on the DVD9 that the game becomes super short. Non exclusive games are really short or has a lot of backtracking(RE 5, Dead Space, DMC4, etc.). Of course I'm not talking about RPG games(those are multidiscs).
Sony on the other hand is so obsessed with the graphics that their games are short too.
time and money is the main limiting fact papjag, not disc space. everything you see, hear and do in a game has to be created, it has to be designed and tested. this takes time and money, i.e. content costs.
this gen, it's more expensive than ever to create games, and it takes longer because we gamers expect more, hence one of the first things to suffer is game length.
Ya, PS3 and 360 have almost the exact amount of fps/shooters....
Still, lots of the people that have 360 are carry overs from xbox, which was definately all about action and shooter games(and all were addicted to Halo 1/2)......many PS3 owners are carry overs from PS2, which was NOT an FPS/Shooter heavy machine....
So regardless there will be more FPS dougs on 360 than PS3.....also 360 has had the more hyped up shooters like Halo and Gears and to an extent perfect dark (altho it blew)....
Still these are decent numbers for KZ2....i'm sure there are alot of people like me out there that have not picked it up because of playing other games...but definately plan to in the near future.
"time and money is the main limiting factor papajag..."
me being one of them :)
I vote that Qj just IP ban melty. All he does is waste his time spamming any PS3-related article with a bunch of 2nd grade fanboyish BS.
if he was a ps3 fanboy i'd still hate him. doesn't he have anything else to do? i would also like to have him ip banned. that comment above was completely uncalled for.
the lowest common denominator, ps34me. devs don't want to alienate the 360 users by giving us extra stuff that won't fit on the fxcking dvd.
it's got nothing to do with any lowest common denominator. we see the SAME thing with ps3 exclusives, for which most are no longer in terms of game length than the average multi-format game, and quite a few much shorter than gamers expected (Heavenly Sword and Uncharted spring to mind, although Uncharted was about average length to me, but many still felt it was short).
so what happened there then, the devs kept these 100% ps3 exclusive games short on the unlikely chance that (in a parallel universe) the game may be ported to the 360 sometime in the distant future?
blu-ray has at minimum, 3 times the space of DVD, and currently a maximum of 6-7 times the space per disc. by your logic, the hours of gameplay for ps3 exclusives should then be a minimum 3-7 times longer than 360 exclusives, since there's no 'lowest common denominator' to worry about. yeah sure!
so like i said, content has to be designed, and it takes time and money to do this. It doesn't happen by magic no matter how much space is available. Therefore time and money are some of the main factors effecting game length, whereas disc space is one of the lowest factors.
...unfortunately it's very easy to get around an IP ban if you know how. :|
He lacks the intelligence to even google techniques on circumventing an IP ban, so I wouldn't worry about it.
to say that games would be longer and game worlds larger if the 360 had say hd-dvd instead of dvd is just a fantasy.
twice the size requires twice the work, and that extra work has to be paid for somehow (in time, money or both), and at a time when game creation is more expensive than it's ever been, it's not surprising to see devs keeping game sizes and lengths to more 'affordable' levels. :|
i hope you're right, but, i dunno. :)
truth hurts doesnt it *****suckers give me an IP ban and i will still be back, you cant get rid of me stupid somalains so go back to what you best, leeching and sucking ball bags. go tea bag your dad and inB4 my dad is dead.
***** U
:|
Don't hate melty..hate his parents for making this world a dumber place..like there isn't enough dumb asses like him..I'd say hes a retard but that's an insult to mentally challenged people everywhere, who could easily make a moron like him sound like more of an idiot
your mum has a black ***** u *****ing bastard, stupid peice of *****. u came out ur dads ass.
Melty you're a disgrace to Britain.
Your grammar skills show that.
just look at gta 4. they compressed the crap out of the textures to make it fit. it could look so mach better. i miss the psx vs n64 days because devs used to take advantage of all the extra space afforded by CD over cartridge. compare a games at the end of each consoles lifespan and you'll see what i mean.
if the ps3 was able to run gta4 with better graphics than the 360, then the game should run better on the ps3 compared to the 360 with the graphics it did have. instead, they performed about the same, with the 360 a fraction smoother overall and at a higher resolution than the ps3 version (720p on 360 but annoying filter effect, 640p on ps3 and blurrier).
if they increased the size/resolution of the textures, then the performance would go DOWN. that's a fact with ALL game systems. and gta4 on the ps3 was not running well enough to afford to increase the textures. and the ps3 would also need extra ram to store those textures for the gpu to process them.
so no, gta4 would not look much better becuase of blu-ray. what could make it look a little better is if it was a console exclusive, either on 360 or ps3, because then the devs could push the hardware further than a multi-format game.
