But it needs better characters, like in Killzone 1 (-Rico tho). Imo it's better to start a new IP. Start fresh. New gen, new IP.
Some people already explained to you that the marketing was fair enough for such a small niche game like Concrete Genie. Concrete Genie is a small game. A small niche game. A small niche game with a boy painting cute monsters on walls. It was never supposed to be a million seller. Sony knows that. So it received a nice little marketing campaign and that's about it.
Some small niche games simply aren't big sellers. Even with a Detroit: Become Human marketing budget. Not every AA game will automatically be a "Journey" wonder, just because you threw some marketing cash on the wall. Time to accept reality and stop being angry.
Dude, don't think I'm angry just because I'm blunt with you.
And don't think constantly repeating the same justifications for why a small game must be small means anything.
But whatever. You always go to the opposite extreme, thinking that me asking for good marketing means breaking out the bank or some shit.
Sorry, but the fact that you're generalizing AA games as much as you do shows that you just don't know what you're talking about. No, CG doesn't have a high potential customer base. It wouldn't have sold much more with more marketing but it would have lost money instead. You practically want Sony to lose money with games like those mentioned instead of giving them the chance to make some.
Sony is really good this gen in chosing what games could make more money with more marketing and which couldn't. They got some seriously good decision makers up there when it comes to financial things, that's for sure.
But that fact makes it just even more funny when some forum users freak out and think they know things better than them.
And see, this is my problem with the entire attitude.
What is this nonsense: "No, CG doesn't have a high potential customer base."
You cannot state that as a fact, without any backup, proceed to prove the latter assertions as correct as if you have a logical argument. No, the entire disagreement stems from the premise that you state as a matter of fact.
Who said CG doesn't have a higher potential base than #35 on UK charts? Who? Where is the data?
Was it Sony? Is Sony a corporation incapable if making mistakes?
I asked for
better marketing and y'all go crazy like I'm asking Sony to spend millions of dollars marketing the game to the point of losing money.
How about read, stop assuming my argument and present a counter to what is stated rather than some fucking absolutely crazy extreme example I haven't uttered.
