Less than the PS2 version. It will bomb bomb BOOOOOOMB
Don't ignore what this game is made of people
Port of a PS2 game.
2 years later
Full price (same cost as the PS2 version at release)
No additional content at all
No graphical upgrade at all (even the framerate is the same)
No advertising budget was given to the game. Zero commercials shot or anything. (Confirmed by capcom themselves)
Multiple delays on the game already
The original was a niche title that bombed as well
The Wii library has matured to the point that bottom feeding for games isn't necessary anymore like it was last year when RE:Wii came out. People will be playing Tales of Symph 2 and Rockband MK:Wii, Wiifit and Wiiware games when this comes out. You know, REAL efforts worth the time rather than SLUMMING on old ports of games that bombed already and are being released with even LESS advertising than it had the first time it underperformed.
This game is a fruit freaking cocktail of ingredients needed to make a game bomb, and no amount of wishful thinking, not desire to see it do well just so the Wii can have another good 3rd party seller is going to save this game. It is doomed, a sum of its own crappy make up. It has nothing going for it. Nothing. Edit: Let me add, that if by some miracle this game does perform well at retail, Ill see it as nothing but statistical noise. An exception rather than the rule, a minor thing that slipped through the cracks, kind of like Carnival Games selling a million plus worldwide. After all, if you throw enough s**t at the wall, eventually SOMETHING sticks. |
I would hope that this argument is full of fail; I hope that Okami sells very well. RE4 Will hit the 1million mark at the steady pace that it is selling. I would argue that Okami probably should have been released on the cube; that is were your zelda fans are, and I would think that most Zelda fans would gravitate towards a game like this. I have enjoyed the new games that are out for Wii so far, but personally I would not mind if we got more PS2 ports over to the Wii. I'm talking to you Insomniac and Nauty Dog! Let's get some J & D and R & C action over on the Wii. |
Not going to happen. Both those developers are basically Sony property. And Xyrax....nice troll. You may have good points, but you could make them without jumping up and down and screaming "Bombs away!" And your edit suggests that this is a vendetta you have with either 3rd parties, the Wii or both, as opposed to a genuine analysis of Okami's sales potential. |
On the contrary, I don't have anything against the Wii, I'm a large supporter, you can check the post history if you need assurance. But I call a duck a duck, regardless of personal bias. And this game flat out has the makings of a bomb. Games that release with the traits that Okami is releasing under generally bomb the majority of the time man, my last edit was to point out that if it were to slip by and do well, it would still be the exception and not the rule. Its not going to be advertised, it would have to be carried completely on good word of mouth. The same type of massive good word of mouth that did absolutely NOTHING for the game the first freaking time.
Sure Im not soft spoken, but its the freaking truth. Dont see any reason why I should bother sugar coating it. Especially when I know, if this game does bomb, everyone thats extremely optimistic will be right alongside me campaigning that the game had the above factors working against it, and that we were silly to expect it to perform at retail.
