New exclusive ips that review badly consistently underperform. And even some that review well don't do the best.

Just look at Order 1886, Wonderful 101, ZombiU, etc.

The Order did pretty good. It had a big marketing push but people were probably expecting something different, too narative driven.

It sold well, but not when compared with its budget or expectations. Otherwise Sony would probably have already greenlit a sequel.



Seems like a game that is likely to have a lot of downloads and not so much disc purchase. So probably not as bad as it looks. I guess the proof will be in whether discounting of the price happens sooner or later.

Sad state of affairs for a new IP. Wish at least some of these new IPs would produce decent sales. Hope it has legs, though I'm having doubts as of now.

It's definitely not the first misfire on new ips this generation.  



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?

I bought it digitally. Up until about two days before release, I didn't even know there was a retail version! In fact, I've been buying everything digitally since like March. I wanted a physical release of Gears 4 but I went ahead and purchased that digitally, too. I think my days of Going to Gamestop are done.

Anecdotal, of course but nowadays, you can't beat the convenience.

Whatever it sells I hope it's enough to recoup the investment and warrant a sequel, there's lots of potential there with more time to flesh things out. People laughed when IGN called it the best platforming since PS2 days, buy it really is.

I'm just chalking it up to one of those times reviewers got it wrong. Like Battleborn.



I haven't bought it. I assumed that it would have a great black friday price or some such in the next few months, so i waited. i am sure that is the case for at least a few people.

I stop buying games and movies in september every year for that reason.



It is near the end of the end....

hopefully Phil gives it another chance and does not kill it.



I think everyone is waiting for GWG, like me. Nobody has time for this with FH3 and Gears 4 here. They should have left it in a 10K egg to incubate longer.

Interestingly it sold over 1 000 in Japan. Despite the US Xbox install size 187x that of Japan, Recore only sold 29x better in US. Sure, there were NHL and NBA 2017 which released on Xbox in the West that didn't release in Japan that ate some sales. Still, kinda interesting, I think.
