it just doesn't seem like one as the way SONY markets it and places on the market

also the hype building is necessary for a franchise to be called world class


as in quality,uncharted definitely is one

how does building hype for a game make it world class? I would have thought having outstanding quality, being the best game in it's genre and one of the greatest franchises of all time would be world class no?


quality-wise it doesn't but only the core gamers know that who continuosly follow it

for us it might be world class but it surely doesn't get the attention which is where marketing and hype is required

 

do you see SONY marketing UC as HALO,GEARS,MGS,COD,FF,GT,GOW,etc.

it is nowhere near that

 

for example AVATAR was a mediocre movie atleast in story part but great in effects.they spend close to $200m in advertising it.

its grosses didn't just come from its quality but also the way it was put on people's mind and so the hype and word of mounth began.


Just because some sells a lot doesn't make it world class. I have no idea where your post is trying to go.....


didn't say that

please get what i'm trying to say

Nowhere in his quote did he state that Uncharted isn't world class. All he said is that he would like it for the 3rd person genre to have a world class title like COD, unless there is more of what he said regarding the matter than you quoted. He wasn't bashing UC at all, you are just overreacting.

Whether COD is world class or not is a different matter altogether, but no one can deny that its the best-selling in the world currently.

When insecure about yourself, bash.

I agree, we're seeing loads of this lately. EA with Battlfield, Sony moaning about XBLA, and now this

However, no they're not jealous.
They have a franchise that surpasses 20 million units a year ...


I disagree. The competition in this case (Naughty Dog) wins GOTYs, on the other hand IWs parent company pays for them.

Uncharted may not be as big a seller as Call of Duty is, but quality wise. Call of Duty isn't even in the same league as Uncharted.


Maybe in your opinion. Critically Uncharteds quality lies between an 88% meta and a 97% one. IW's CoDs most certainly fall between those goalposts

WOW, that was REALLY stretched for the sake of something to talk about.

Nothing to see here.

I suppose this makes cod a pile of acorns?



           

I don't think he meant what this article makes it seem like he meant. He was just trying to hype his game, and the author kind of just strangled the original comment for some hint of a dig. He's trying to emphasize that his game is world class, doesn't mean Uncharted isn't also. But yeah, he could have worded it better.



Hate to say it but Uncharted doesnt even sell half of what COD does. Im guessing a world class game is a game that sells well worldwide. And currently COD Black OPs has sold double of what uncharted sold in every region including japan. Playstation owners dont really know how to support their best franchise so unfortunately Uncharted will nver really be "World class" franchise.



i think its taken out of context.



This is so out of context...
