Forums - Gaming Discussion - Would Castlevania and Enslaved done better if they were exclusive?

Just want some opinions. I think some types of games just sell better if they are exclusive because it makes the hardcore fanbase more aware of the game. Do you guys think these games would have done better if they were exclusive?? maybe enslaved for 360 and castlevania for ps3? Do you guys think games like MGS rising and possibly the next quantic dream game (if it goes multiplatform) will suffer the same fate?

 

Also just another question. Since naruto ultimate ninja storm 2 went multiplatform do you think it will beat the sales of the original??

castlevania would have done better if it wasnt called castlevania. no one from the castlevania fanbase wants to play this game...and people who dont play castlevania are saying..."i dont want it, i dont play castlevania"



hmmm, i think both games wouldve performed better if they were PS3 exclusive, Demon's Souls and Heavy Rain support this imo. but the other problem is also the time of release, its dumb to have a reboot and a new IP release near Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and Halo Reach.



They probably would have done better if they didn't suck

Though I'm new to the fanbase I have to agree. This game is just an action game with a castlevania mask over it.



Former something....

Castlevania - a little bit.

Enslaved - MUCH MUCH MUCH better.

Ive said this before (and got banned for a bit for saying so) I feel that PS3 fans are more likely to buy an exclusive PS3 game regardless of quality in an effort to get more exclusives to come to the console. I think LOS would do much better due to the Kojima connection. Dunno about Enslaved though.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

i say yes, probably they'd do Alan Wake kind of sales.

I laughed.


I dont follow... is it funny that Medal of Honor sold more than 1mil in the first week?? is it funny that Castlevania is a reboot?? please explain.



Castle Vania would have done alot better as a ps3 exclusive as since its a jojima game a mgs4 is also a kojima game (the highets selling exclusive on the platform) they would have been able to advertise it as a game for the creator of mgs4 and they would have gained alot of interest. As for enslaved it would prob have done better being an exclusive on either ps3 or 360.



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3
