According to Playfrance, French retailers have started confirming an early release date for Killzone 2 within Europe. The website states that SCEE will be releasing the title two days earlier than the U.S. date (February 27).

SCEE has yet to confirm this rumor, however it wouldn't come as a surprise if true. Media outlets have already begun to receive review copies of the title, and the first magazine review will be hitting store shelves any day now.

Stay tuned for more details.

    damned, i'm french and i'm looking forward to this one. can't wait! i'm playing R2, it helps me to be more patient, but killzone 2 being an european game, it would be weird for sony to release it in US first. you have a lot of content each week on ur store, don't be complaining u yankees :P

     

    To ahaa : all you say is fake, we in europe buy more than you, in our countries PS3 > 360 whereas in america, PS3 is beated by the 360 like a piece of cake, americans buy 360 like they were hot cakes.

    • 9:49am EST - December 27th, 2008

    psn id: gingo.... it would be good to get a game earlier or the same day as americans for once but really it doesn't matter that much as long as its not a huge delay before it comes out

     Why not?  I think it would be cool if our European friends could get an awesome game before us Americans!

    That's because the value of the pound dropped significantly recently, up until a few months ago it was £1 : $2.

    Little Big Planet and Haze was a european made games, but both of them came out faster in North America. I doubt Killzone 2 will change things this time, but honestly, europeans deserve to get Killzone 2 faster than americans. If there out is a one game that europens should get first, Killzone 2 is the one.
    imho, it's almost January, Sony. it's about the damn time to announce Europe release date for Killzone 2! 

  24. Ahaaa

    • 3:52am EST - December 28th, 2008

    well you know what yuo aint getting screwed by sony because you are getting the game. does it really matter if you get the game two days before us. NO so stop whining and complaining

    I could care less who gets the game first. I will say I get tired of hearing europeans cry around here though. the reason you guys get things last is because your countries have so many more laws and restrictions that sony and microsoft and every other country has to get past. If you don't like it blame your govt not sony. seriously you people are so spoiled on this site. You cry about a game or two that comes out a week later. Be thankful these companys are still making games in this economic environment and thankful you have jobs to afford them. I am. I grew up not having a system of my own...playing on friends' and now that I have money can afford to have all the nice things I feel blessed. So the next time you cry about Sony not loving you.....think first.  Then go get a job and lobby your govt to reduce all the freaking red tape your govt's put on imports and legal restrictions they put on releasing games and movies in your countries. There are some that don't have as many but since you insist on having an European Union most company's will wait till it gets approved by all before releasing in a region.

     

    So...do you understand? It is your own govt's fault. Now  I don't want to hear another person complain...and if you want Sony to wait until everyone gets approved before they release a game or feature than your crazy stupid. They aren't going to wait. The United States is well known for making getting your products to market very easy over here. That is why we have been so successful. Cut your red tape and you would see what I am saying.

    Europeans dont spend much money as the americans (problaby bcz we hv less money on our pockets) soo thats bcz most of times europe gets later than america.
