How Sony Will Counter the Halo 3 Beta: Killzone2 Demo?

Remember this game? We haven't heard much about Guerilla's Killzone 2 since it appeared in video CG form back at E3 ages ago. The studio and Sony Computer Entertainment went dark on the title after the E3 presentation.

Rumors pointed at the game's intended resurgence at their pre-launch Gamers' Day event last year. Ultimately, if the rumors are to be believed, Sony shelved showing Killzone 2 in favor of spotlighting Insomniac's new shooter franchise (and it will be a franchise) Resistance. The same rumors have pointed to Killzone 2 being much further along than previously expected -- with the apex of the rumor arc concluding that the game has been playable online for almost a year.

Expect a playable Killzone 2 demo to be released (hmm, Phil Harrison is keynoting at GDC...) before gamers are participating in the beta for Halo 3.

Maybe they should release another CG trailer and say it is realtime ingame footage, that seems to get peoples attention.

The only problem is that they will have work twice as hard to make this disception as real as possible. I would recommend taking Halo 3 screenshots and ingame footage and putting a Sony game logo on it, then they could show ingame footage of the game actually being played. Since they have already borrowed graphics from other x360 game this should be old hat by now.

Lastly I would follow up with insulting the Europeons for no reason at all, maybe increase the price in that region, or only release wired controllers. This will make people in Japan and North American feel more important, because they are.

I think this is inline with the current Sony strategy, let me know if you notice any errors in this plan.

Even though I find it somewhat unlikely that we'll see a real demo of this game given its track record, a REAL multiplayer demo would be very nice.

I wonder if it will be only stereo like the motorstorm demo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Give us 7.1 Linear PCM, like Resistance has.

I dont get it, why do ppl care so much about killzone? I've seen many CGI trailers of crappy games, why does this crappy game standout?

No matter how much icing they put on it its still gonna taste like shit!

spoken like a true 360 fanboy... with no brain... you probably don't know where europe is located on the planet... my advice is: get your eyes off of your videogames and start look at the beautiful thing called earth.

not sure what Sony is up to... but Killzone 1 was gonna be the Halo 2 killer... AKA Halo for the PS2 (according to Sony that is) and it flopped.

now Sony SHOULD void comparing or competing Killzone 2 to Halo 3 at all cost. though this news is a free advertising to keep the console war strong

Pretty arrogant statement. Why don't you read your screen before making generalizations about people. Thax is from Canada. Now if a TRUE AMERICAN were to right the post it would be:

Ill stick a boot up $onys rice poopin a$$ for trying to copy the GRATEST game ever to grace Gods Green Earth! Now Im gonna watch me some NASCAR and drink an ice cold BUD!!!

But seriously why wont they fix the video problem and make Killzone (and other PS2 titles) look good and not like crap on the P$3?!?!?!?!?!

Because Sony said it was a Halo killer, and the zombies believed them.

What's with the remark about nationality? Being an american has nothing to do with it. Plenty of people from europe and canada despise the PS3 too! And Thax (not american btw) appears to be very intelligent, he probably has something better to say to you than i do.

With remarks like that, you're putting yourself on a fast track towards a ban...

Please stop and consider what you're saying before you make more comments like that.
