Killzone 2 Set for Impressive launch in the UK

PlayStation Gamer Uk Writes: "Being able to find great gaming bargins here in the UK as retailers try and get people to spend money again, every so often I look online to see what gems i can find with a small budget. However over the last few days i have noticed that Killzone 2 seems to be topping all the sales charts."

worldwide , i have it pre-orderd the game a month ago,

You all will be Killzowned!

resistance1005573d ago

I suspect it will be more along the lines of 600K first week worldwide.

However word of mouth and people just seeing its stunning visuals will ensure that it keeps on selling and after 2months may have sales near the 3million mark

shingo5573d ago (Edited 5573d ago )

I'M BUYING THE F**K OUT OF THIS GAME! >:(

TWO COPIES. YES.

jammy_705573d ago

thats what iv heard plus play.com #1 this WILL sell way over 1 million in its 1st week
it will seel over 5million in its 1st 6 months whatya think? :P

resistance1005573d ago

@jammy_70

No it hasn't, i will be very very surprised if worldwide pre-orders topped 500K let alone 1million

dustgavin5573d ago (Edited 5573d ago )

Noooo. I heard preorders are well over a million at the moment and climbing.

whoelse5573d ago (Edited 5573d ago )

Its #1 at Amazon and Play.com video games with just under a month still to go and with a demo also coming this week and a £2 million marketing campaign from mid-Feb. I predict around 1.5-2 mil first week.

Pre order yet buy it on day one or day twooo or pre orderrr come on people lets make this game sell as much as MGS4

xg-ei8ht5573d ago

First Week Sales 2million.

Omega45573d ago

Its quite shocking that Killzone 2 has already been discounted by over 30% before its even released im sure it would sell decently at its regular price

And come to think about it LBP has been £18 like forever, why dont they just officially say its a PS3 platinum game

resistance1005573d ago (Edited 5573d ago )

You are aware that all games are coming down in price. You can Pre-Order Street Fighter IV for £26 and Resi 5 for £32

The reasons for it are simply, UK retailers are scared of going the way of woolworths and zavvi and are doing all they can to make sure they don't and try to get people in the Uk buying things again.

Also its competition, at present people are looking for the cheapest price and not minding who it is from, so in order to stay competitive they have to keep prices in line with other retailers

Also i don't know where you got the 30% from, while yes its true games RRP at £44.99-49.99, they have never been sold at that price in the UK, most launch at a price between £35-39.99

Omega45573d ago

I really dont think retailers like Amazon and Play are that afraid of ending up like woolies especially amazon

But im not complaining i just dont see why does it only happen to major PS3 games why not 360 and Wii games too, shouldnt these offers effect everyone

resistance1005573d ago

@Omega4

It does happen to 360 games as well

FEAR 2 (360)- £27.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fea...

Street Fighter IV (360) - £27.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Str...

Shellshock 2 (360) - £29.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/She...

And yes Play and Amazon probally won't worry about that, However they will be worried about a dip in sales which has lead to them lowering prices.

Still its only since about December when this Price crash on games has happened, before all games launched at £39.99

heyheyhey5573d ago (Edited 5573d ago )

Omega spreads BS and gets killzowned... again... why do you make stuff up if you know they're not true?

prices are going down everywhere in the UK due to the recession... this inlcudes all systems

eagle215573d ago

I am shocked 360 is so bargain bin dirt cheap and still not top of amazon uk where PS3 and Wii lives. :)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro61d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7261d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_61d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga60d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2360d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200061d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin61d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole61d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix61d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198961d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198961d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor365d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar365d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg364d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149364d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138365d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim365d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC365d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138365d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle365d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76365d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM364d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger364d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca365d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal365d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright365d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183736d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183736d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149736d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
