Homefront was marketed as a AAA title. It was going up against Call of Duty and Battlefield. No, blockbuster and AAA are not the same thing but they are similar. Blockbuster applies more to movies than games. What separates PSN games from retail games? Have you ever heard of a psn game that is "AAA'? There are none. PSN games don't have high production values,t hey don't have high budgets and they don't have millions of dollars in marketing to support them. Uncharted 3 has high quality voice acting, good script, high production values, high budget, lots of marketing....etc. Even if the game flopped it would still be a AAA game. Twisted Metal = High-budget PSN-like game at best. |
Blockbuster applies to games as well. Blockbuster was used to describe games even back in the 90s.
It doesn't matter what Homefront was going against, it was a pretty mediocre game and was treated as such.
Forza Horizon doesn't have quality voice acting or a quality script. It looks great but its recycling resources from Forza 4. We don't know if it had a higher budget than those Sony games questioned. I don't feel Forza Horizon had a lot of marketing, it had hype because people enjoy the series though.
Twisted Metal is far higher quality than PSN games and more money was pumped into it to make a retail release. You don't know what the final PSN release was going to be so quit calling it a PSN-like game.
Starhawk has high production values. So if we're gonna call Homefront a Triple A game than Starhawk should be considered.
Once again, you call PSABR a PSN like game in spite of it being much high quality than 99% of PSN games. It seems to you there is no mid-tier games, its either Triple A or PSN like.
LBP Karts seems like a quality game. It even got marketing! But I imagine that's PSN like game to you as well?
