Up to the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, Kojima's latest was viewed by many as Jesus on Blu-ray: It was expected to be the game to boost the PlayStation 3's numbers, set new standards in the industry, and be Sony's savior.

And all said, it did pretty well for itself.

Now, rumor has it that Sony is expecting Killzone 2 to do as well by them as MGS4 did... if not better.

This comes from website V4VG, who so far as I know is untested where credibility is concerned, but nonetheless claims to have the word of an anonymous Sony rep, who is "not officially speaking for the company," when they say the following:

"It would be a lie to say Sony has not invested heavily in Killzone 2 and each individual at Guerilla games has worked even harder to satisfy any expectations kept by the company and their loyal community. I do see the game breaking a barrier with a huge variety of groups and expect it to see sales as good as Metal Gear Solid 4 if not beyond it." -- V4VG

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a pretty high standard to hold a game to sell to. Does anyone think Killzone 2 will be ready to take it on?
