Yes, the initial speculation gained lots of traction. However, its my understanding that the Metal Gear Solid franchise is general more disliked than liked. It has a convoluted storyline and you "watch" the game. It still sells very well and has a cult following but I can see when this game is announced as MGS5 it will loose a lot of steam from the people who don't like the series. I don't think this stunt will effect sales in any meaningful way (That will be left to it going multiplat). Which is why I dont like the dicking around for it. I think it would sell the same if they were completely straight with everything. On a side note how much should we expect sales wise for this game now? Larger user base and multi plat... 8 million? |
I still think it can pay off for them, but it's really too early to tell. I guess all we can really do at this point is sit back and watch it unfold.
