Forums - Sales - Shadow Of Mordor 2 Million Seller on PS4!!

binary solo on 12 November 2014

And I'm one of them. Much deserved milestone for the game, but I hope it at least doubles that number with time.

And that should make CoD AW the 15th 1 million+ seller on PS4. Which then puts PS4 at twice as many million sellers as Wii U, and close to double the million sellers on Xb one. Madden is making it's way slowly to 1 million on PS4, but it has at least another 2 weeks to go at the rate it's currently selling.

"The market can't support new IPs" my ass.

This isn't a new IP

The IP is Lord of the Rings

lol

its based on the lord of the rings universe

its a new ip

It's kinda both. But from the perspective of this game  being in the LOTR universe that has had a pretty poor run of games over the last few years aside from leggo. So IMO the LOTR name didn't really contribute much to the initial success of the game. I credit it's unexpectedly good metascore for its sales success. Indeed when I saw the name "LOTR: Shadow of Mordor" and heard it was Warner Bros. I was expecting bad reviews and serious floppage. Even though some of the gameplay I'd seen early on made it look like the game had potential. Of course being a critically acclaimed game AND being in the LOTR universe means the LOTR name is going to help with sales somewhat.

Personally I don't call it new IP in the same way as any Nintendo game with "Mario" slapped on it isn't new IP. The association with the name means it's trading off that broad franchise. Splatoon is new IP (assuming they don't slap Mario and Sonic in there at the last minute and call it Mario and Sonic Paintball Wars), Super Mario 3D World is not.

Considering Shadow of Mordor is a licensed game... that should be enough to tell you its not a new IP.

WB owns the game that was created. But they need a license to sell it because they don't own the IP.

you are probably right, but what is the ip?

is the the lord of the rings also shadow of mordor?

yeah im confuse

someone needs to own the ip

Nice. Well deserved. Completed the game fully myself on xbox one.

More than opens the door for a sequel!

Is there a thread somewhere keeping track of all of the million sellers for the 8th gen consoles? Just wondering.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

No, because Shadow of Mordor is in the same universe (middle earth, mordor), uses same characters, etc.

Captain Toad is not a new IP. New game using old IP.

I don't understand your confusion. Games that are touted as new IP are never set in an existing universe or use old characters.

This is the next game I'm picking up, along with Garden Warfare. I'm just a little concerned about the longevity of it, it does seem to, however impressively, chiefly involve killing waves and waves of orcs for 20+ hours.

15 hours, 71%

If Unity wasn't in the post (or I had a brain so would wait for a patch or two...) I would happily keep playing for a bit more. It has a got a bit samey, afterall the ground combat is literally identical to Arkham Asylum. But it's fun enough
