SCEE Day Trailers.... LBP and Killzone 2

Other than DICE'S Mirror Edge making a huge showing at the Sony Europe Day, Sony's big first party games have gotten high attention too.


Here's a new trailer for LittleBigPlanet, which is now the most critically hyped game that game journalists (both mainstream and hardcore) are looking forward to other than Metal Gear Solid 4 (You get the whole "I can't wait to play this so bad" vibe every time they mention it). I'm still wandering if all this critical praise before its October release will equal success because the concept has already sold the hardcore audience, but I don't know yet for the casual gamer. Hopefully, a big marketing campaign would start closer to its release to attract the Wii crowd because Sony needs it if they want to make this a killer app. Personally, I'm already sold on everything LBP offers, it is the matter of buying a PS3 to support this.


Lastly, here is a new trailer for Killzone 2, which got delayed to February 2009 and that's good news for it because obviously it wouldn't be that smart of Sony releasing 2 high-profile exclusive first-person shooters at the same time. While Resistance 2 gets the glory of this fall's big Sony release other than LBP, everyone still asks what's up with Killzone 2 and whether or not it will deliver on all the hype it has gathered since that first trailer at E3 2005. By watching this trailer, it is getting better and better graphically, but who knows if it would be the same thing as that first trailer that shook the gaming world apart in 2005. I don't know about this game because it is just Sony's big hype machine and Resistance 2 would be better. Then again, I could be wrong and it could be the "Halo-killer" it was meant to be ever the since the series started.
