Astral Chain sold 1 million copies in 6 months, it might not be a blockbuster but is hardly a bomb

How was Astral Chain a bomb it sold 1 million copies and Nintendo was happy with it's sales.

In my opinion, this is not a problem of marketing, the lack of marketing was a right and conscious decision The first teaser was released 2 years ago and made no buzz whatsoever. The graphics are ugly and the game itself looks uninspired and uninteresting, after the very lukewarm reception they more likely decided to given up the project and let Platinum finish the game only because they would probably have to pay for it regardless if they decided to cancel the game in the middle of the development So they released and let it flop The problem of this game was both the conception and the execution of the game itself, the few reviews were very clear how bad and clunk the game is. And both Enix and Platinum are responsible for making a bad game A dev more than anyone knows when a game have no hope, if this was a hopeless game since the reveal, why spending money marketing it ? |
I'm not sure I would say platinum for this. This type of game is well outside their wheel house. A lot of the backlash I hear outside of the graphics are more to do with the store and online fetures and boring grind. As far as we know square could have forced this on a somewhat enjoyable game and it ended like this.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

One thing is for sure, Platinum is taking on way too many games at once for their size, just 294 devs, no wonder they are hinting that they want MS to buy them and let them finish Scalebound. |
No they are not asking MS to buy them nor hinting at it FFS. Kamiya worked on Sol Cresta and it's a great game that looks great as it has a look that homages mid 90s shooters. Kamiya wants to work on many projects. Cresta is a series from the 80s and he wanted to work on one(he has a huge arcade board collection and loves many obscure games). He expressed interest in working on Okami with Capcom again, he expressed interest in reviving Scalebound. Doesn't mean he wants all 3 companys he wanted to work with to buy them. Only reason CEO brought up the idea od aquisition is because they were asked but they answered in a polite way of only if but for now no thank you.
This project is Square Enix mismanging another project.
On top of all the other issues like being online-only and poor production values, didn’t help that it came out right after a blockbuster like Elden Ring.

I found out this game existed when I saw this topic.
The initial teaser looked cool and the first trailer made it look like a Dark Souls setting with Platinum combat I was so hyped but then they showed the trailer last year showing everything and I lost all interest right then and there.
