'as a game that is for some reason regarded as teh amazing when its mediocre (looks at halo 3) It took 2 years for it to reach 1 mil? When it only took a few months for kz2 to reach 200k?'
Actually it took 2 years for Halo 3 to go diamond in the UK. The only other Diamond game is GTA4, which to date is the top selling PS3 game ever. Killzone on the other hand will never go diamond in the UK. It has just recently reached a million worldwide. In fact they just announce Killzone 2...
Must buy for the millions of Halo fans looking for something different to experience within the universe..cut scenes are an amazing icing on the cake..cant wait..
EASILY..DAY ONE PURCHASE...even if NOBODY on N4G.com bought this game..it will do absolutely fine..I got to give it to Ensemble..before this game..the masses that frequent shooters would never have even thought of playing a game like this..after the demo..I can see this only being the beginning of a new era for the co...
Alot of people have this theory..but the money helped keep the 360 alive...had that deal not gone down..droves of people would have gone to the PS3 on instinct alone when that game dropped..50 Million..it was a split down the middle..the promise of DLC helped dramatically
Man..I definately think it's all based on the success of the product...it's ashame that quirky titles with good rating like Oddworld always got never had that mainstream success...which is why people always get it misconstrued..sales matter! I remember when people thought Brute force was going to be the next Halo..it got EATEN ALIVE by the critics..and never got a chance to move units..(blame EGM not Microsoft)...I'm not going to lie..I think Shadowrun was underrated..and always hoped for a n...
nice...NewZealander..I didn't hear that Lionhead was going to reveal something at GDC..can't wait!!! you are are throwing some obscure names on there...hook us up with the info on Velvet and Divinity..do they sound like good games..hit us with some links...bubble for that post and that avatar!!!
Again..since your one of the cool posters..Evil will respectfully agree...
Do you honestly believe that disasembling Ensemble or the guys who made Flight Silulator pushes Xbox360 into a DLC corner?
DLC was a great move to distinguish your product in a multi-platform world..and yup it worked to fend off defectors when the ULTRA successful Grand Theft Auto was released.
But cmon..In-house studios are overrated...partnership is where it's at. do you ...
No need to comment...'ASSASSYN' 360 and 'Xbox360achievements' both hit it right on the freakin' head! Bubbles..for the posts and the names..
17 - Nice discussion! WHY WE LOVE HALO!!!!
I definately salute Cajun Chicken and Dark Witness..nice to see some gamers and real opinions instead of the usual repeat rinse let me promote my game by destroying the other. But, in particuliar, I respectfully disagree with Cajun Chicken.
Bungie honestly needs to get the Video game NOBEL PRIZE. The day I played the original Halo all those years ago..I couldnt believe my eyes. nothing at that time came close to touching the epi...

When you hear stories of the original team from Bungie freaking out trying to impress it's own employees with the first test playthrough of OSDT..you know this game is going to be something special. The more I hear about it..the more I realize the big Halo picture for the future is brilliant.
IF EVIL G. was to predict the BEST route for Microsoft and this franchise..THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD BE........
After dropping Halo Wars..the Mythic Pack will drop and tide peop...
It was a DEMO..not the game...all I see is a bunch of pretenders in forums who say they played RE4 just to fit in..Clearly they didn't play the game. RE5 demo was almost completely identical to RE4's intro level aesthetic...zombies chasing you around the small village while you navigate over and around the village obstacles. This was simply a co-op version and an ode to that level. ANYBODY who played RE4 knows that the intro level is nowhere even CLOSE to the reason RE4 was GOTY material..if ...
Clearly a PS3 fan trying to avoid the incredible games that EVERY owner knows you must play...and then you you HAVE to extend it to 25
Love all 20 of the bu-bu-but Killzone 2..nothing else matters...
But N4G.com fact..had this been announces as a PS3 exclusive..then from this day forward it would have been on everyone of those infamous PS3 exclusives lists that everyone throws around every day. Instead add it to the eclusive games Xbox 360 are not supposed to have any of in 2009...CLASSIC!
Breaking news...
No matter how many articles come out from the random N4Halohaters.com fodder..it won't matter..the gaming community are not idiots..we somehow actually knew it was an RTS from the day they announced that Halo wars is an RTS set in the Halo universe
We know it's not Bungie..In fact the only concern I would have had was if Bungie all of a sudden decided to make this RTS..it's not their specialty..Microsoft was smart in contracting it out to one of ...
Who cares how bad it's doing on the PC..NOTHING can compare with WOW period..with no real competition any decent MMO can do real numbers on a console..for all those people stil whining about payingwhat equal 4 dollars a month for Xbox Live..sorry don't be suprised when they charge for the MMO..I'm sure they will have a free demo..hook people on it..and give you a choice..but that is purely the gamers choice..people don't have to buy it if the don't want to..I loved the Conan comics back in th...
The more I keep hearing about it..the more 'I am alive' is jumping closer and closer to the top of my list..plus Gearbox doing a next-gen Aliens game looks like it may be an amazing experience
*Spits out drink**
We NEED more news like this! That picture is CLASSIC AV worthy!!!! Remember who said it first....
N4G.com is hilarious...The DLC is reportedly 6 hours of content..just like the original disc..you can finish the story without completing ALL of the content..but the funny part about it..is they complained that GTA4's was nithing more than just the usual DLC..but that game has up to 20 hours of new plot and gameplay..must buy for me..love the game..would love even 2 more hours of content
When keeping it fanboy goes horribly wrong article # 407689...
