This could be the Wii's Grand Theft Auto 3,, |
... AO means it won't be sold by retailers. Even if it was, Manhunt 2 is niche of niche. It's for torture porn and graphic horror movie fanatics. It was never going to have the mass market appeal of GTA. |
Porn? Have you ever played a Manhunt? Do you know any info on the upcoming game? There is no torture in this game at all. There is just killing. Its not like the game is just going around killing people for no reason. The first one had a reason. Not a good one. From the looks of this game there is actually a really good story going on. If this game was a niche it would have gotten a 92/100. I dont know what the other versions got but the Wii version got a 92/100 so this game aint not niche. |
Torture Porn is the term used to refer to movies like Hostel which aren't so much horror as they are over-the-top gore. This is almost exactly what Manhunt and Manhunt 2 are (and yes I played Manhunt). Game score doesn't mean it isn't niche. Katamari got great scores but it's niche. There are many niches in gaming, and Manhunt 2 falls very nicely into the gorey horror one. Don't expect it to ever break any sales records because torture porn doesn't appeal to mainstream. |
Well thats not true because the Saw series is very popular and if im correct the first game sold over 1.5 million to 2 million.

I'm assuming you mean the saw movies, and yes, they fall in the category. You can't say that just because a movie sells well a game will do the same. Manhunt 1 didn't even break 1 million in sales without an AO rating limiting it. The games are niche, GTA is as mainstream as mainstream gets. I am in no way saying it is a bad game. I enjoyed the first one and intend to buy this one for the Wii as well, but be realistic: this is not the Wii's GTA. This game will not ever hit 500K in sales because it's niche and has an AO rating.
