It seems like a really fun game from what I've played. It must not have appealed to enough people. Hopefully, it sold more digitally. |
I know this is only anecdotal and a small sample, but when Starhawk launched, I posted the trailer on reddit in this thread:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/ta2pw/starhawk_launch_trailer_game_releases_this_week/
The reaction was mostly positive - game looks good, beta was good etc. But the overwhelming reaction was "If you hadn't posted this thread I wouldn't have known it was releasing", plus plenty of discussion about Sony's marketing.
It just slipped under the radar really.
About LBPK - don't rule out the legs on this one. About Twisted Metal - like I said earlier in the thread, it was a PSN game that got upgraded a bit. Sales are good for what it was. And yes, I suffered through 2 months of server instability before it was finally playable online, word of mouth killed any legs for this game.
