Killzone 2's delay good for gamers - Price News
PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Insomniac Games President and CEO Ted Price believes that Killzone 2's delay is good news for PS3 owners.
Speaking to Eurogamer reader JaKhris during our latest live interview, Price said: "Having space between two big FPS games like Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 is not only good for the developers, it's good for gamers.
"PS3 gamers get a continuous FPS fix from fall '08 through the beginning of 2009!"
Mind you, his game's the one due out before Christmas, so his happiness is probably understandable. Then again, Insomniac has just as probably earned the right - having delivered Resistance: Fall of Man at the PS3's launch and subsequently delivered Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction just a year later.
Price attributed his company's ability to deliver two - and now three - PS3 games in the space of time it's taken other developers to get one up and running to several things. "First, we're currently just developing for PS3. With one engine and one toolset it allows us to maintain a high level of efficiency with production," he told Eurogamer reader robo_1.
"Second, we have overlapping teams. Meaning we always have at least one team in pre-production on a product while another team is in production. This means that we can roll from production to production easily. Third, our team is highly motivated to produce big AAA games. It's our passion."
Resistance 2 is due out in November.

The Bullshit meter's gone into overdrive here:-
"Insomniac Games President and CEO Ted Price believes that Killzone 2's delay is good news for PS3 owners." Why not leave it until 2010 which will be even better news for PS3 owners. |

"What the hell ??? 5 Stories about an interview that's posted on the main Page ?? get a grip eurogamer!"
I think they want to make friends with the PS3 crowd after .. you know ... that umm ... thing last week. I really don't think anyone is grumbling about the news per se - just the usual shite emanating from a dozy CEO. |

So Price is the latest in a raft of Sony bullshine artists then.
Loved Resistance and R&C. Killzone is definitely one we are all expecting to suck hard so maybe we may all be surprised. I doubt it though considering the first one. Really looking forward to Resistance 2. If it's as good as Resistance then we are all in for a treat. If it's better then it will be a gaming must have this year.

@Diabeu,
No, it's true. Also, cancellation of Eight Days and The Getaway by Sony is good for gamers, as is the rumoured cancellation of Red Alert 3 on the PS3 by EA and the decision to limit Eternal Sonata on the PS3 to the Japanese market. It's all excellent news, and saves gamers around £200. How can that not be good for gamers? |

it can be annoying having too many big products come out at the same time...however, if they did, then you could opt to not buy one, then buy it 4 months later when it's been reduced to £20 - now thats good for gamers!

Very nice Ted ... now go back to your day job and stop with the press comments. If you keep your head down then maybe RFOM2 won't suck as bad as the first one.

Why is there always 4 or 5 stories about 1 interview? It just moves all the other stories down the list.
