Forums - Gaming - Will Beyond: Two Souls be more successful than "The Walking Dead Telltale"

NobleTeam360 on 13 March 2013

No, It will probably sell around Heavy Rain numbers (good) but not anywhere near The Walking Dead.

The Walking Dead game is a joke to me so I personally think Beyond should sell 10 times as much and get 10 times higher scores but realistically I have no idea. Only thing I'm confident on is that I'll buy it.


Have you played all the episodes of TWD?  

You mean watched? Hahaha no really I've only done the first few. My biggest problem in the game is that you can die.

lol yes watched lol  It's an interactive movie, but i really think you should move on to the next episode or at least watch it on youtube.  It really starts to get good by the end of episode 2 and by the end of the season it is shocking by hw good the story truly is.  I didnt care much for the first episode either.

If you insist, I'll watch the next couple of episodes and see if they pick up.


Yeah definitely. Let me  know what you think of them when you finish them up.

The Walking Dead has brand power behind I'll better compare Beyond: Two Souls to Heavy Rain and it won't sell as much as HR.


Why wouldn't it sell as much as HR?  It has star power and can only have more marketing since HR got none.  I mean willem Dafoe got a couple of my friends on board who weren't interested

-End of console cycle

-Competition

-I don't think Hellen Page and Dafoe (both good actors) will pull that many gamers

-Heavy Rain was a new experience I know Beyond has new gameplay mechanics but its kind of similar to HR

I'm not expert or anything I could be wrong but those are my reasons.

Heavy Rain was similar to indigo prophecy (or Farenheit in Europe or the interactive sex one) David Cage's Previous game, granted Heavy Rain was much more successful and known than indigo prophecy.

Not a lot of people played Indigo Prophecy.

I just don't see Ellen Page pulling a lot of gamers but it was a great choice by Quantic Dreams.

It was free for a limited time on XBLA and iOS. Not permanently free.
But you're right, Fade has the average price at $4 instead of $5, so revenue is probably more like $37m. So still over 600k sales (for now) needed at full price.

I see Beyond doing that in 2-3 weeks at most, so I think it will beat TWD.

Well this the current situation. It will certainly need to do more than 600k. TWD still has 7 months to sell without "competition".
And even then it probably won't slow down when Season 2 arrives.

You do know what an adventure game is right?

It seems to me like people are confusing success with the salesnumbers. Given the much higher Budget of Beyond it will have to sell twice or maybe even 3 times as much as the Walking Dead. And this wont happen thats for sure

no, walking dead is way too high in popularity for Beyond: Two Souls to match
