Sony has sure stepped in it this time, either that, or they’re basically going to blow all of our socks clear off. Phil Harrison has finally commented on Killzone for the PS3, citing that parts of it currently, “exceed” the pre-rendered E3 trailer. He never mentions whether the actual gameplay exceeds the trailer, He just says, “parts of it.” exceed the trailer. He went on to say that we’ll see more of Killzone no earlier than 2007.

Why do the big three set themselves up for this kind of heartache? Just let the screenshots, gameplay footage and hands-on impressions speak for themselves. Killzone was a great game but it was hampered by the platform, never truly seeing it’s full potential. I’m pretty confident Killzone 2 (or whatever it’s going to be called) will be hot with this awesome hardware, but pumping it up ahead of time is a bad decision. Microsoft flipped the hype machine on high for Gears of War and left some disheartened because of it.

Then again, anybody who buys into this hype from any of the big three really deserves to be disappointed.
