Reviews:
I belive that reviewers will prefer icecream over spaghetti.....
Sales:
Probably SMG2 considered the 8million+ sales of SMG1.

Sales, SMG2 EASY.
Reviews, probably SMG2. However, AW could pull an uncharted 2, and SMG2 could do a Bioshock> Bioshock 2.
Alan Wake. Sadly, Mario doesn't appeal to me anymore.
SMG2 will of course sell a lot more.
Galaxy 2will eek out a slightly higher metascore. Sales wise though, it's going to double or triple Alan Wake lifetime, though I could see them them being close-ish for their first NPD.
Wagram said: SMG2 will win reviewers, but to the fans Alan Wake will be far superior IMO. |
to which fans? Alan Wake fans? 360 fans? Wii fans? Mario fans? what about fans of koei's strategy games like romance of the three kingdoms?
I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!
NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SMG 2 will beat alan wake in sales and reviews, but i feel that alan wake will have a stronger following.
SMG2 will CRUSH Alan Wake in both sales and reviews. Please note I already have the LE of Alan Wake preordered and not the other way around. I want Alan Wake to do well, but it probably won't, I hope it pulls a Heavy Rain but I just don't see it.
SMG2-
Meta: 94-96
Sales: 7 - 9 million lifetime, 1.5 - 2 million first week.
Alan Wake-
Meta: 87 - 92
Sales: 1.5 - 2 million lifetime, 300-500k first week (These are really high IMO, but I want it to do well)
tbh, I'm pulling for Alan Wake. I've been interested in it since 2005 and if it does really well I'm getting a new 360.
These are my predictions:
SMG2 Metacritic 88 to 95 (I'm thinking it might be docked some as it is a sequel. Could have less to do with quality of game than biases of hc reviewers wanting some vindication.)
Sales 5 to 10 million
Alan Wake Metacritic 93 to 97:
Sales: 3 to 7 million.

In direct contradiction to my quote above, I hope you're right. I really want Alan Wake to be good, it's my new favorite genre (psych/horror/thriller), well tied with RPG's that is.
Does the first wave of Alan Wake reviews change anyone's minds concerning meta predictions?
