Happy for Ready at Dawn.
Where is the sequel then? The IP definitely had potential.
You mean where is the other half of the game?
I would love to have a sequel. But its not going to happen. Too much negativity around that IP.
Yeah, unfortunately, this. It was Squandered Potential: The Game.
I think it was closer to 230K but I know it registered here in the UK and the rest of Europe. The naysayers drowned out the game aided by the poor meta score. This news gives me hope that it'll get a sequel. the lore is simply too rich and inviting.
People get confused about this a lot, but they’re thinking about it the wrong way.
Pretty much this - no publisher wants to have +100 people work on a project for 3-4 years only to break even or be somewhat profitable a couple years in.
The game got werewolves so wrong though. Play Bloodborne or God of War for great werewolf fights.
I played them all. God of War's are such a non-issue, they're barely there. Fights are good though.
And still a hundred times better than whatever The Order was trying to do.
Shame, but understable. Driveclub is an excellent game but had severe launch issues, and The Order had a lot of potential, but was letdown by poor design choices and reception.
It placed above Monster Hunter 4U, which was 290k after digital was added (during the time NPD was unit based).
I have to think the budgets of the two games are far different. Plus Knack is a family game, The Order was a single player cinematic narrative based game. Sony has plenty of the latter and not many of the former.
I think the relationship will continue, Their games add value to Sony's portfolio even if they don't make a lot of money. For example, their games appeal strongly to female gamers as well as male gamers. Having a diverse community is part of what makes PlayStation the biggest gaming brand worldwide. I can't imagine that Detroit won't break even. It'll probably make a tidy profit.
We have no sales data whatsoever. The faintest hint we have is some amazon rankings for May:
Yea, but digital wasn't included in the charts back then. I remember seeing the 200-220k physical number floating around for TO back then.
If Beyond: Two Souls didn't end their partnership, Detroit won't. I've seen much more positive general/critical impressions then with Beyond.
80 of detorit will end their relation and 69 of beyond didn't ? What ? How does that make sense ?
Knack is underrated.
The game was received better than people thought, no? It is way better than previous games and scored good by the critics.
Me and a lot of others think it's awesome and probably QD's best game yet.
"Tales from your ass" doesn't count as "not well received". We have no sales figures yet.
79 from meta critic is a good score. It's a 4/5.
Quantic Dream is not a studio that one can judge based on opinions found in this or similar forums. Their titles continually sell well and have a fan base that likes them. People can rave all they want about how shit David Cage is but he has an audience. That audience is not found on forums like this.
The only thing I regret from the Driveclub fiasco is that Evolution Studios didn't survive long enough to make a new Motorstorm for this gen.
