You say this a lot. God of War having an online component. But you never elaborate on it. I'm curious, how would you expect online to be implemented in a game like God of War. |
Ahh possibly a mix of Halo (with hack and slash wepaons) and Assassin's Creed. I expect the maps and customization to be similar to Halo's although the gameplay to feel like God of War SP and slightly Assassin's Creed.

Look at the sales increase from Uncharted 1 - 2, to achieve that increase Uncharted 2 had to be much more critically acclaimed than UC1, had better advertisement (Still not great though), introduced multiplayer and was bundled a lot. Also look at the Resistance franchise, the first one which was bundled hugely managed to pass a massive 4 million sales, almost double that of the next best-selling Resistance game, now look at how God of War 3 is selling compared to 1 or 2 which were on a console with a far larger install base, it's not even 2 years old and it's almost at 4.5 million with the Trilogy Edition, it flew past them with ease even with terrible advertisement, no multiplayer in a day and age when people turn their noses up at anything where you can't shoot other players online, hardly any bundling at all, in fact I remember God of War 3 released into this PS3-shortage-hits-god-of-war-3-launch... But look now, it's still on track to be the first game in the genre to pass 5 million with ease, it could even reach 6 million eventually with the upcoming Quattro Pack and with God of War IV hype and its inevitable release which will help to drive great sales for God of War 3 like UC3 did for UC2. If Sony put some proper effort into marketing the game and Sony Santa Monica can think of a great multiplayer mode/modes to appease the multiplayer nuts, God of War can be really enormous. |
I agree with Uncharted 1 being bundled a lot but Uncharted 2 wasn't bundled that much until holiday season 2010 (the sales were already quite good) and Uncharted 3 is bundled bt it's still selling great standalone too (700k in one month in the U.S.A.) and with bundles 900k. And the Uncharted 3 bundles are only for a temorary time (holiday season). And what excluisive game isn't being bundled this holiday season? Bundles are increaseing the sales but its not the reason why the game is selling great. Unless it's bundled the way Forza and Fable are I don't think the bundles are really driving its sales. Anyways Resistance 2 really killed it for everyone who was into Resistance and with the little hype Resistance 3 got it was impossible for it too sell good. Add the fact that Resistance was the only decent game for PS3 when it released and the mass bundling just made it more popular. But yes God of War 3 still managed to sell multi million untis in its first month despite terrible advertising, not nearly as frontloaded as its competitors. And still managed to outsell them all.
