PreviousPS Day: Motorstorm 2 gets 4-player split-screen PS Day: PS3 outselling 360 since Oct '07  Next

PS Day: Killzone 2 delayed to '09

Feb 2009 confirmed for Sony's in-house shooter
Sony has revealed that Killzone 2 will launch for PS3 next February and not late 2008 as originally expected.

Not so good news for fans, but at least it's a date set in stone. Well, we hope it is anyway.

Killzone 2 is one of two FPS "giants" heading to PS3, said SCEE boss David Reeves, Resistance 2 being the second.

A brief Killzone 2 movie was shown - in summary, lots of explosions and gun action in a war-torn industrial environment.

Crying or Very sad

WHAT another delay by Sony!!! Shocking I'll add it to the large list!! This is starting to become a bit of a joke, maybe they'll learn and make the PS4 developer friendly! In the mean time I'll just keep using the PS3 as a Blu Ray player and the 360 for games.
Madbrit2K5 on 6 May '08
So what's the big exclusive title going to be to push PS3 in Novemeber now?
vulcanraven01 on 6 May '08
resistance 2, motor storm 2 plenty to keep going. I say a delay is good if it makes a differnce
anagi on 6 May '08
Meh, Killzone 2 doesnt look that good to me, a graphic whores wet dream perhaps but visuals aside the track record isnt great.
DAEDALUS79 on 6 May '08
Apart from MGS4, this year for PS3 is getting pretty poor. Sequels to the two launch titles, especially Resistance 2, will not be very interesting for me. LittleBigPlanet is a flashy XBLA title - nothing more. Haze...God don't get me started on that, it looks terrible.

If I'm honest, I'm only looking forward to Gears 2 this year, and maybe Alone in the Dark if it is done well. If Resi 5 can make it this year then that's one more.
Rosepetal on 6 May '08
It must be said, this game needs a change of title...

yeah, probably not the best idea to have your two flagship fps' competing with each other anyway.
atrimus on 6 May '08
Here we go.....delay for?? Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, Home, etc...good promotion then.
madandkez on 6 May '08
Whew! I am glad Sony Delayed Killzone 2 to Feb 2009, I was guessing it would.
Why have two heavy hitting blockbuster games like Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 release within months of each other, it would be sales suicide.

Killzone 2 is going to own post holiday sales.
They are already securing 2009 sales, smart move!
imaballa on 6 May '08
Looks like gears of war 2 will be dominating this Christmas then.
willbrowne81 on 6 May '08
I love all the people who come on here saying another delay. For it to be a delay it has to have an official release date to start with and it has not. Plus anyone with any business sense would realise it would be a PR disaster to release such an important title at the same time as Resistance 2, LBP, Motorstorm 2 and the possibility of Home. When push comes to shove they have to make their money back hence why M$ are only releasing GOW2 without any other decent 360 titles within sight of it.

Yes, after all, the first Killzone game was a fantastic ground breaking game. Rolling Eyes

For one, shut the f*ck up and stop whinging you f*cking useless xbot MS wannabe!!!! If you really dislike your PS3 THAT MUCH THEN SELL IT YOU MORON!
Never heard someone whinge so much about something they have and not take any actions I.E. Sell it and buy an 360 so you wank over it to your hearts content. Apologies for the implied bad language CVG but this guy is such a t**t!!!

No. 2, Really annoying to have another delay but at least Resistance 2 looks ace.

hahaha. <3 you man. Friggin' <3 you.

With that said, it's a shame my PS3 won't be seeing new games for a while. And I think it's starting to get sick of just seeing Blu-Ray and DVD's.

Can't wait for Motorstorm 2 though. Very Happy
Metal-Geo on 6 May '08
Sooo, we're looking at Resistance 2 and MGS4 for 2008?

Kind of lackluster imo.

Where the s**t is FFXIII?

Seriously the only way to get a constant stream of good games these days is to own every single console.

Xbox has a better line-up for 2008 from the looks of it. Sony is banking huge on MGS4 to push consoles and sell like hotcakes.
wtfsmell on 6 May '08
Sony really need to get their act together now. 2007 was mediocre and if they let 2008 go the same way then the incentive to buy/keep a PS3 is really lacking. I've got all the systems and whilst I am now playing Assassins on PS3 it is only simply because I got it dirt cheap. Otherwise the 360 is taking up most of my game time. Shame really for Sony, but they really need to stop promising what they can't keep (e.g., 1080p gaming on PS3, which is virtually non-existent as most games only run at 720p).
defcon5 on 6 May '08
i was looking into seriously buying a PS3, As my 360's disc drive has just packed in. (but is being repaired for free)

I can honnestly say the game line up really , not that hot.

I think we all know that metal gear is going to be a huge game (unless the developer has really lost the plot) but other than that i cant justify paying Ł300 for the promise of great games
willbrowne81 on 6 May '08
after seeing the screenshots of Killzone 2 its understandable they postpone the launch as its really not that impressive. I think Gears of War looks way better.
_Tenshin_ on 6 May '08
LOL !!!

i did laugh when i read the headline. I must admit that I was intrigued when i first saw it but after all the delays i gave up hope.

Isnt it being released near the time of resident evil 5 and...(i know it wont happen but) Final Fantasy 13.

If thats the case because i expect resi to slip to early next year then kill zone will be off of my shopping list.

and ill still be playing gears 2 in any case.

Quite sad to see KZ slip again though, after all the hype, the new data on ps3 sales....why are people buying from a company who keep kicking them in the teeth ? It is a nice dvd player though Smile

Why have 2 "heavy hitting" (lol) blockbuster game release at once?" I'll tell you why, because the PS3 hasn't had ONE heavy hitting blockbuster and it will be 2+ years old when these come out. Killzone 2 has been delayed plenty. It's obviously complete s**t and they know it and are scrambling to fix it which won't happen. It won't "own" post holiday sales as I doubt it will come out before fall of 09.

So you're so mad you posted this trash 3 times? Dumbass Sony suckup.
horngreen on 6 May '08
im not really too disappointed, sure i wont be playing it till next year, but mainly because the new date isn't actually new, www.game.co.uk had killzone 2 for february '09 release for months now.
Bravo2Zero1989 on 6 May '08
Yech!
They really needed to push a christmas release to hope to get a foothold on the market around then, but february is NOT a good time to launch, GoW2'll have gained too much popularity by then.

Of course, as a 360 "fanboy" it might sound odd to promote KZ2, but hey.
Or meh. People on the internet like that word for some reason.

Sorry but could u remind me wot amazin exclusives xbox have lined up for this year.... anyone.

Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human, Fable 2, Banjo 3, Gears of War 2, (maybe) Alan Wake, Halo Wars etc...
vulcanraven01 on 7 May '08
I'm kinda glad about this. Don't get me wrong I am really excited about this game, but i need to save money. There's already loads of games coming out this year that i want; MGS4, Haze, Final Fantasy XIII (possibly), GOW2, Warhammer Online, the list goes on. Oh and its my birthday in february so i won't have to buy it anyway.
