| TheLastStarFighter said: @Platform I don't think advertising is problem, I think it's the game itself. The games you mentioned to me sound/look boring. More specifically, the premise of the games don't interest me. Gameplay, graphics...these things are important, but so is the theme. If someone said to me "In this game, you get to play as Batman in an open-world style where every villian from his history is trying to escape from Arkam Asylum. Use his gadgets and skills and stop them!" Sold! Infamous...whatever it is... not so much. However, I find it interesting that you say they are "deserving" of more sales. We could play a game and you could change my mind on those undersold franchises. I am Sony's ideal potential customer. I like most types of games. I have low brand loyalty. I don't own a PS3(yet) mostly because it was cheaper early on to buy both a wii and an XBox than 1 PS3. I'm a former happy PS2 gamer. I've played and enjoyed GoW, and Uncharted sounds interesting. Can you describe Infamous or Resistence in one or two sentences that make it sound awesome? I would describe GoW as "Play as Kratos, a warrior from ancienct Greece who must battle the God of War using his unique chained blades. Find treasure and upgrade your powers as you battle through a beautifully created world inspired by greek mythology in an incredible mix of classic action and adventure". Can you make those games sound good? If so I might go out and buy that nice-looking new white PS3 and some games! |
Well I don't think it's about 1 or 2 sentences to sell the game. I think it's about getting people interested enough to check out a developer walkthrough or any gameplay video for that matter, but I'll play your game.
Infamous: "Play as Cole Mcgrath, an electrically superpowered hero...or villain depending on YOUR choices. Upgrade your new powers and fight gangs led by other superpowered beings in the open world of Empire City.
I like Resistance 3 and think it can stand on its own so I'll do 3: "Humanity is on its last legs as most of the world's population has been either killed or converted by the mercilous chimera. As Joseph Capelli you must travel across country and get to New York by any means necessary to save your family. (I'm going to use 3 here sorry) Infect, freeze, or suck your enemies into a black as a massive, upgrading arsenal is at your disposal to destroy this alien menace."
