So it wasn't critically acclaimed nor did it sell well. But the level of attention this game gets seems far more than that. I guess once you become a first party title you suddenly get a lot more attention. |
Part of it is going first party, no doubt. But there's lot of titles where you can look back and say "well...they weren't really that big of a deal," but then over time they develop cult following, and those fans can be very vocal online. Then, with the way the internet works, that impression of mass anticipation can often lead to real mass anticipation, because suddenly everyone is seeing something trend, and they all wanna get in on it, etc.
