It's going to flop. Just like LBP Karting.
Sony PR has spent years telling their fanbase how an Hardcore game should be: cinematic, realistic-looking, adult or epic and badass, heavy on storytelling.
At the same time they went on calling the competition childish or casual.
Now it will be hard for them to convince fans to buy a game without any of the mentioned qualities, that blatantly copies competiton.
Not to mention Smash Bros is just too good, those who have played it enough and love it, have probably just bought a Wii already to play it (since it's not very expansive). Those who don't know it or don't like it have no reason to be attracted to the game. |
I do believe that LBP Karting will flop hard, but with Battle Royale I see that Sony is trying to push this game as their only big first-party title this holiday. So, even though it won't sell amazingly well, it will crawl to really decent numbers.
It's totally true that a childish and casual title is something different from what Sony has given us this generation, but I think that a lot of PS3 users need some title like that. And Battle Royale could be that game.

I don't know about you, but I haven't forgotten about all of the R&C games and LBP. This guy is acting like all Sony do is release realistic-type games. Not true at all.

I really love R&C, not LBP, and I haven't forgotten them, too. What freebs2 wanted to say (and I agree with him) is that everybody knows that Sony offers a big variety of games, but it's clear that during this generation their focus shifted to more cinematics and 'mature' games.
During this generation the only platform games on the PS3 were R&C and LBP...and nothing more. I think that Sony understood their wrong decision about this and they are trying to recover with the new Sly and Battle Royale.
