Did it not take years to develop? Was it hyped beyond reason? Was it not advertised more than any Sony Exclusive this year? It's funny just s few weeks ago people were saying Forza was a flop even though it sold 3 times as much and was a spinoff with a small team. I love how when it's Sony exclusive under performing it's fine, but let this had been Nintendo or Microsoft exclusive and it would get bashed to no end. |
1. No, this was not a AAA game.
2. Yes, it did take years to develop. So do a lot of other games like Duke Nukem Forever.
3. Hyped beyond reason? No. Most were complaining their favorite characters didn't make it in.
4. Probably, but this is a new IP, and its a PS3 exclusive. Not a good combo. It'll have legs tho.
No one is saying this is "fine". Yes, it flopped. But this is a new IP, no one expected it to top the charts. Forza Horizon is an established IP that many call "better than GT". Yet with each release it sells less and less.
