What if scenario..

What would happen if Killzone 2 came out with the other blockbusters in Q4? Would it have less of an impact than it did when it released earlier this year or would it steal the spotlight from other games because of the hype that was following it?

It would get good reviews, but, it wouldn't sell.

Agreed with above. I think it would have sold less if going up against MW2. That game crushed everything in its path for the rest of the year.

It would have been butt raped by Modern Warfare 2.

Well it looks like the general consensus is that Killzone will be the victim of rape. Also I don't think that its multiplayer wouldn't have gotten the map pack support or praise that it got because of it being overshadowed by MW 2.

they should have released it in september or  october so people had it on their radar at the end of the year.. I think a lot of people that played it and liked it have kind of forgotten about it. Singleplayer was a bunch more memorable than  MW2 to me.

I played it a couple of times and found myself playing it only because it looked so dang good on my tv.  I actually had more fun watching my brother play.

Agreed. Would have gotten good reviews, but it wouldn't have sold as well going up against MW2, even though, honestly, KZ2 had a better single-player campaign.

I suspect sales would have suffered. Though personally, I think it was the best FPS of the year, and the best home console game of the year too.
