great game for a sony bundle, the uncharted series bringing in new xbox players who jump to sony that never played UC

as i remember from the great "Wii era" days, people always buy a bundle because of a game so holds true now for me

the Uncharted remaster bunde is win win for sony, UC4 will prove that with big sales

Never understood the fascination in uncharted, games are so short. In that respect they are not worth the full retail prices in my opinion.

Not sure if trolling...  Unchated 2/3 had a genre defining 12-16 hour campaign that was incredibly replayable, and excellent MP/Co-Op.  Even Uncharted 1 / Abyss had a 8-12 hour campaign worth going through NG+. 

 

i would say uncharted 1 was about 10 hours on a normal playthrough. uncharted 2 was about 12-13. and uncharted 3 was about 11-12.

golden abyss was like 14



 

I will venture and say that Uncharted 4 will sell more than the entire "Best Line-Up in Xbox History" put together.

 

Uncharted 4 >>>>>>>> Halo 5 + Forza 6 + ROTTR

Well considering the PS4 is bundled with UC collection and selling a lot more consoles, that's an automatic sale. Its not selling based off gamers wanting to play UC collection over Halo 5, its because gamers want a PS4 mainly. If Halo 5 was on PS4 then you can bet this wont be the case at all.

Why would Playstation owners want Halo in their console when they have this amazing franchise?

I just got the uncharted collection and I was surprised how short they were and how much priase they get. The order was blasted for being so short yet Uncharted took me just about as long as people are saying the order takes. I actually don't have an issue with it and I like the play time on these games I thought Uncharted 1 and 2 were the perfect amount of time. Not to long and not to short either. Now take a game like Tomb Raider which I felt was an exact copy of these uncharted games (played TR first then uncharted). Tomb Raider started off great and was a lot of fun but 2/3 through  the game and I was done. I was getting bored and I just had to force myself through the rest of the game to finish it.

I do agree they should be priced a little lower but not by much cause I think the quality is very high. I would say $45-50 is a better price. I feel like I got a hell of a deal with the uncharted colllection.

Poor Haze. This was the beginning of the end for free radical. 

Can't remember it being labeled as an Halo killer. Its nothing like Halo so who ever made that comparison (if it did happen) needs to get their head checked. It like saying Mario kart is a gran tourismo killer. They're both driving games right. 

 

Edit- I think I missed your sarcasm.

Uncharted games are no Witcher 3 by any means, but they are not short.

According to http://howlongtobeat.com/

- Uncharted: 8 1/2 Hours

- Uncharted 2: 11 Hours

- Uncharted 3: 9 Hours

These is the standard lengh nowadays.

For comparison sake:

- Gears of War: 9 Hours

- Gears of War 2: 10 Hours

- Gears of War 3: 9 1/2 Hours

Same genre, same lengh.

I don't know why people act impressed by Uncharted collection sales when it was heavily bundled over the holiday with PS4 consoles.

 


Also, how many games do they really have to choose between?

 


not sure of the exact number. but A LOT more than any other console.

Userbase.

What was the 360 userbase at the time Halo 3 was released? How well did it go on to sell. What about percentage sales or attach ratio.....

I'm sure there are quite a number of ways to show that "userbase" is a weak excuse. 

Oh, and hasn't it been widely said and accepted that launch aligned the XB1 is outpacing 360 sales?

Not saying that a system with a larger user base shouldnt sell more games. Just saying that the user base size isn't an excuse for how poorly a halo game has sold in comparison to previous Halo titles.

As far as single units sold sure.

But if we consider attach rate Halo is fairing far better almost by 50%.

Ratios are:

Halo 5.7 to every XB1

UC 10.2 to every PS4

If we Even doubled the sales of UC to 6,848,780

the attach rate would still be less than Halo at

UC 5.1 to every PS4

I'm not being a XB1 Fanboy I don't care for Halo at all and prefer UC, but Halo is killing it compaired to UC.

Its all Moot UC4 will sell like 12 million

That's not how it works.
