PS Blog: You will be seeing Killzone 2 ads everywhere very soon.

In a reply to one of the PS Blog comments, Mike Graham (Associate Producer in SCEA) had to say this:

"Thanks everyone for the positive reception! I can confirm that we definitely have Trophies in the title.

And I can also say that you will be seeing Killzone 2 ads everywhere very soon. Our Marketing guys have been working their tail off."

1. Uncharted
2. Ratchet & Clank
3. Little Big Planet
4. MGS4
5. Killzone2
6. Resistance2
7. PS3 console advertising in general
8. Advertising In General
9. All Advertising
10. Advertising
11. See 1-10

I'll believe it when its played non-stop like 360 commercials, until then. Sony can take their 1 ad that runs at midnight on the Womens Channel that gets cut off half way by some ad for local furniture sales and shove it up Kaz's dark areas.

I really cant understand Sony's advertising this generation. 1/2 the commercials scare everyone to death. And the rest never show the games/product. The only good PS3 campaign was the "ladies and gentlemen please" rock and roll video with the orbiting morphing PS3. The rest have all been ass water.

Xandet5610d ago

This is the ONE thing they needed to work the most on. It really is awesome how they took all the negative feedback to heart and treated us like something other than just a "customer." I guess talk is cheap, but I can't wait to see what they pull off! Hopefully this will be a starting block for future titles as well..

Ace_Shooter5610d ago

that was great and comical man. bubbles to you.

on topic: Guess we'll just wait and see. SONY i know exactly how to market your products. Where can i fill out a resume??

TheTwelve5610d ago

Good. Drown the world in Killzone 2. I want to see it at the SuperBowl too. Put it on during UFC.

Mindboggle5610d ago

If the ads are just for US then its pointless. EU and Japan are Sonys biggest market and limiting the Mass marketing to 1 country will definetly not achieve much. They need global advertising on a massive scale to make this game the MGS4 sales killer they are hoping for.

Blademask5610d ago

Sony doesn't advertise. It might be because they have a worldwide arena to factor in, but the NA advertisments are always lacking compared to the 360.

I swear, I've probably had my bubbles removed by more Sony fans than 360 fans. Hell my avatar is a kitten w/helghast.

JD_Shadow5610d ago

I agree. I can see a KZ2 Super Bowl ad happening. Would love to see what they come up with.

FrankenLife5609d ago

I don't watch TV. Will you still get ads out to me? Billboards, busses, magazines(non-gaming), and non gaming websites.

Superbowl????

whoelse5609d ago

If you think SCEA's past efforts at advertising are bad, you should come to Europe!

TheExecutive5609d ago

I will believe it when i see it... until then...

joydestroy5609d ago

i hope they advertise. it will do this game some good.

btw, the boxart is sweeet!!!

Maddens Raiders5609d ago (Edited 5609d ago )

I'll believe it when I see it, but I won't so no big deal.

But anyway, Blademask you forgot to mention Motorstorm 2: Pacific Rift on that list of yours.

only The Best OFF-ROAD Racing Game of ALL-TIME. No advertising worth a damn to speak of....the commercials were pulled way too early.

I do believe however they will spend 2 Million+ Dollars for marketing the game on Mags,Sites,and of course,a commercial or two.

DJ5610d ago

Pretty much everyone in America will be watching. Even showing the opening Intro Sequence would be worthwhile.

MAR-TYR-DOM5610d ago

Superbowl commercial for 30 seconds cost 3 MILLION dollars. Thats how big sony's market budget is for playstation in a year. Sony would be crazy to do something so stupid like that. Waste of money. I say spend a lot of money on ads during Prime Time 4 - 7 pm.

Snow5610d ago

Superbowl advertisment + Killzone 2 Ballet of death video = Pure win.

Rambo5610d ago

Sir, do we get to win this time?

no-spin5609d ago

Super Bowl ad = Risky business

I hope so. Round here in the Aus i hardly see anything Sony related apart from the normal blu ray, bravia tv's and vaio computer ads.

cryymoar5609d ago

they steal my ads and use them. like my myspace one, ZOMG!

Crazyglues5609d ago

They will probably start showing up in the subways and bus stops soon...

GiantEnemyLobster5609d ago

Nobody is going to buy this crappy game. Why bother wasting even more money on advertising? Damn sony way to shoot yourself in the foot.

SSCOOLCHEA5610d ago

The HELGHAST should march into the Field at Halftime. Than SYSTEM OF A DOWN should come out and perform B.Y.O.B bring your own bomb

Bubble Buddy5610d ago

^ Haha. Then get RATM back for a reunion and play Killing In The Name :D.

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-ro85d ago

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

darthv7285d 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_85d ago

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

Cacabunga85d ago

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

Profchaos85d ago (Edited 85d 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

seanpitt2385d 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!

Iceball200086d ago

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

Father__Merrin86d ago

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

InUrFoxHole85d ago

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

Marcus Fenix85d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198985d ago

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

1Victor85d ago (Edited 85d 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 😱

Michiel198985d ago

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

SullysCigar390d ago

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

1Victor390d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar390d ago

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

jznrpg389d ago

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

badz149389d 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!

Vengeance1138390d 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 Kim390d ago

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

VersusDMC389d 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?

Vengeance1138389d ago

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

solideagle389d 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.

Phoenix76389d 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

REDGUM389d ago

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

thesoftware730390d ago (Edited 390d 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.

blacktiger389d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca389d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal389d ago

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

Imalwaysright389d 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."

shinoff2183761d ago

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

shinoff2183761d 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

badz149761d 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.
