It's worth noting that a big reason for the bolded is that 2009 was the last time R&C got a proper traditional retail focused entry. The closest it's had since then was A4O in 2011 (a spin-off), and ITN (a short epilogue entry). I'd be quite surprised if the new R&C didn't outsell both. Ignoring that though, i agree that which will win in sales it's clear cut. I'm personally expecting R&C to win in the end, but how well both do will depend a lot on how hard Sony and Nintendo push them, and how well they're received. |
It helps that they haven't had a traditional retail Ratchet game that was finished on time since 2007. That's sort of what I was getting at since CiT was horribly rushed and should never have been $60 to begin with. It being released in Broketober near Uncharted 2 with no marketing didn't help; Sony really screwed IG several times last gen, most notably with Resistance 3, to the point that I don't even blame them for trying Fuse and becoming a true third party.
| Alkibiádēs said: What a nonsensicial comparison. They're completely different genres for starters. Second of all, one is an AAA budget game while the other is a low budget experimental game meant to pad out the Wii U's library until the NX finally arrives. |
Ratchet's sharing a very low budget with the movie. Like, the DreamWorks quality movie and one of the prettiest games ever made to date are sharing a budget that's lower than the cost of getting Kate Upton for a mobile game's commercial. Rockstar could sneeze and spend more than Insomniac is working with here. Most estimates have the game at $15 million, which is about half the current average.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
