I merely suggested that there would be people that wouldn't research a game or download a demo....... once again.. the point of this topic was about the commercial NOT stating that it as an RTS...... obviously you can assume someone will be in say.. walmart and see it in the case one day and buy it due to the halo name.. saying that having the name "halo" or showing commercials that lead people to believe its a sequel to halo 3 won't have an effect on sales at all is just ignorant.. how many RTS have sold well on anything other than a PC? |
First and foremost your post was designed to insinuate exactly what I was getting at, that the majority of sales will be because consumers are idiots.
I have seen the commercial atleast 5 times and if you watch it again, it will say at the end it is an RTS game. While I don't like any game not to show actual gameplay footage, Halo Wars is by far not the only one that doesn't do it. Damnd near all commercials done now have little to no gameplay footage. Look at Kilzone 2 as an example.
How many FPS games sold well last gen on a console? Until Halo and 007 came out it was a dead genre on consoles. Whose to say Halo won't do it again for RTS?
