GTA5 isn't bad because GTA doesn't come out every year. It's COD, AC, BF/MoH, and sports games that cause this concentration of sales EVERY year. Puppeteer unfortunately suffered though and will likely flop now :( I'll pick it up BF and help support the devs (also it looks bloody fantastic but I've got to save every cent). |
It's hard to blame GTA for Puppeteer flopping. Puppeteer was simply sent out to die with poor marketing.
|
Good point just like sly. Hopefully Sony finds it in their hearts to advertise some games not by ND, SSM, or Polyphony. They didn't have one commercial for heavy rain, killzone, puppeteer, sly, beyond, or even ratchet recently
|
Sony has a lot of neat ideas for games, but they rarely seem to go all in with them. They either have a full scale marketing blitz, or nothing at all.
|
The sad part is they do the hard work, the development. Then they make online trailers but dont even put segments of them on tv for most games. Twisted metal was another good example
|
I don't think that TV is the be all end all like most people suggest, but I've seen so little promotion of the game anywhere. It's a bit related to the OP where Sony just seems to want to go big or not really bother, but I have to wonder why they even bother funding this stuff.

cause they're fantastic games so I'm glad they do fund it. I mean I'm still buying Puppeteer just like I bought Sly. Also I think this is why Sony games have legs because a lot of times they're great with no advertisement. Hardcore fans buy them then people play them and are impressed and maybe buy them or get them for someone. I know that I've been personally responsible for selling 5 copies of Sly 4 because I simply told people it existed and showed them a trailer. They didn't know it was coming out but loved the PS2 ones. I got 3 of my friends to try Heavy Rain as well and they all loved it just like me (admittedly I didn't give it a chance till it was $30 because I was skeptical of QTE based gameplay).
