Forums - Sales - Twisted Metal is a MAJOR flop in Europe - we need to talk about it

I agree with Rol, TM is a flop in Europe, but too be honest, that doesn't surprise me at all, it was delayed, censored (Why still confuses me, is it not 2012...?) hardly marketed here, and from what I heard it's online is pretty damn broken.

But you know, that's alright, they can't all be God of War's or Uncharted's.

pretty broken?... you cant even play online. i cant believe they wont even fix it



What we really need to talk about is VGChartz tracking, seeing as this game released in mainland Europe two weeks ago (a week earlier than UK, charting in Germany, Netherlands, Nordic Countries, and Switzerland) and got absolutely zero sales according to VGChartz.

When the developing team breaks up before the game even comes out. It is hard to expect good service. It is just bad PR and sony are masters of it. I was exited to try this game but it went the way of Saboteur. Even before the game launched there were layoffs and what not. Jaffe is gone, the other guy is making ipad games. Kind of sad actually. Oh well. 

Cheers :)

Ok? All that came up that I recognised was UC3. Which is a pretty big success, not only sales-wise but critically.

Twisted Metal was always a B-Grade Movie style game, it should've had a B-Grade Movie Budget.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Twisted metal has never sold well in Europe. You'll be lucky to find anybody who's even heard of the game. I had never even heard of it until it was announced at e3

Just read the titles of these threads and see if you can notice a pattern.

Well ofcourse I see it xD

But we were talking about PS3 exclusives



That's a flop in NA too and the fact that it's a broken pile of junk of a game doesn't help...
