How about we wait until GG or Sony confirm the date instead a guy from Gamespot "confirming" the date for them.

This is how the whole "Delaystation" moniker gets its legs--someone not with either the developer or publisher throws out a date and when it doesn't stick we get a whole slew of articles about the PS3 "constantly delaying titles."

Just remember, someone link this episode to your bookmark, if the game DOES NOT come out in Feb.17, Blame Gamespot and Not Sony. Sony Havent even released the official Date Yet.

Releasing GTA content on the same day as Killzone 2 is stupidity! Multiconsole owners that chose to get GTA on the 360 for the DLC are probably more interested in Killzone 2 than some add-on content for a year old game that they're most likely sick of playing by this point anyway. I think it would compel most of them to just go with Killzone 2 and skip on the downloadable content.

Yeah I don't understand it either. I think Microsoft could be launching GTA IV DLC as a retaliation against Killzone 2 though.

Killzone 2 and SF4 day 1.

GTA4 is to overrated. The hype ran through the roof yet it fell face flat.

Great day for all gamers however I could care less about DLC Saints Row for me this gen unless they totally revamp GTA and get another out before this gen is over but they should forget M$' demands just give them back the money and start over or expand the engine give us customization exactly or surpassing Saints Row 2 with fun things to do and I'm in. Sandbox game of the year Saints Row 2. Biggest dissapointment of the year GTA4 lame and I don't want to be a biker. Bring on KZ2 and SF4 thanks.

If this is true, Boy is it going to Help Street Fighter IV Sales on the PS3 That day, that is actually a good part from Sony, SFIV+KZ2 on the same day= Pushing 3rd Parties to make games on the PS3, right there, they are affecting SFIV sales by KZ2 giving it the Helping Hand.

Yea I actually think that's a smart move. Not a day after or a day before but the same day. people picking up Killzone might say hey let me pick up SF4 and people picking up Sf4 might say he let me pick up Killzone 2 also.

10.4 - sony can kill them self really easy if all they do is quietly release this game to the public
to be totally honest. the last KZ on PS2 sold 4 million with all it's hype. and the way they butchered the launch of LBP, i hope they realize just how important it is to stick to something and push it. i'd hate to see GG's hard work just go out with a silent one man parade of marketing. This is the game to Herald Yes i'm the PS3 and i can dish out Games that the 360 cant. This is the game that should be all over bus sides, and bus stop posters, Movie posters. billboards, TV's and like MS did with the first gears Launch, Slap it on the silver screens for people to see with one of the new years first Blockbuster at theaters everywhere. I'm talking Halo/Gears level marketing because it's time Sony Has A title that can do halo numbers in the shooter realm, if no other. This game is the game that everyone needs to know because this is what made everyone want a PS3 3 years ago. from Today one we need to storm Sony's marketing VP about how they should take the world by storm KZ2 Marketing.

this game is extremely important.

I'd love to wake up the mourning of the 18th and hear that retailers are reporting KZ2 broke record sales and sold 2.4 million on release day, because the only other PS3 game which did that good by a lesser margin was MGS4. Come on Sony it's time you start caring about the work of your developers and stand behind them and soak up the marketing for them so they stand out... with devs like Insomniac, naughty dog and GG and evolution, and how there games have sold well before, I certainly would be backing them up with pristine marketing on a scale like no other.

But thats just me. i'd be mad if a game no one knows sells more than KZ2 on launch day. see rabid fanboy hardcore gamers on internet forums can only do soo much

Personally, I don't believe it. Until I hear from Guerrilla Games themselves, or Sony, I will take everything with a grain of salt.

I simply cannot wait for Killzone 2, it's always been one of my most anticipated games ever since I got my PS3.

Sony needs to advertise Killzone 2 like it's Metal Gear Solid 4 (I think that they will because KZ2 is one of Sony's biggest budget projects to date on the PS3) and create some serious hype.

The only thing I want now is a Collectors Edition version of Killzone 2

The push the game back already for R2. It was suppose to come out this November/December, but R2 was coming out in November. So they aren't rushing this game.

Alan Wake, Duke Nukem Forever and Huxley come to mind. I'd say KZ2 is doing fine...
