Jaffe himself stated that he understands the problem with a follow up to a 10 year old game (will be over a 11 when the game hits) and is treating the project as a new IP. The goal isn't to get people to remember what Twisted Metal was. It's to introduce everyone to Twisted Metal again. The game will be competing for sales like a New IP. 3) The same sorta goes for StarHawk. It's not like it's a direct sequel to Warhawk. It's gonna be marketed as something new. |
You don't really believe that. Sure Twisted metal is more like a reboot but a known franchise is always an easier sell then something no one has ever heard of before. Personally I believe Infamous 2 sold far more in digital sales then anyone thinks and that twisted metal will be fine, it's a great and popular franchise and from what I've seen of the game it looks really good. Not sure about starhawk but I'm pretty sure it doesn't need as many sales to profit.
Also for the record Last Guardian is a budget game. Even if it doesn't sell a ton it will profit. ICO didn't get that many sales and profited so I don't know why people are worried about Last Guardian. I don't get why everyone just assumes games need so many sales to make a profit, only Rockstar, Activision, Square, EA, Ubisoft and MS are stupid enough to require a ton of sales for a game to profit.
