Forums - Microsoft - What do bad reviews for "Too Homan" mean for the Xbox 360?

Tigawoods on 19 August 2008

Doesn't mean anything at all. Just like Haze didn't mean anything for the PS3. It is a shame though the concept of Too Human is something I would like to play more on consoles but the execution seems like it wasnt there. It will be a great rental.

Doesn't mean too much, except the fact that when people said that the game sucked, they were right.

 

people said the same thing about haze, when the demo arrived.

When did a badly reviewed film affect its capacity to advertise itself to no 1 at the box office? Never, advertising is king i reckon



“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.

means i've got 40 quid to burn on other games!

like Lair and Haze its not going to stop gamers buying the game and, some of them, really enjoying it. Its just times like these when Im glad i do check reviews and manage to avoid disappointing games. No reason I wont pick it up in a few months time :)

Its the end of the 360!!!!!. Just kidding.

That's the curse of new IPs they can be awesome like Gears, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed (and it IS great) or they can suck like Lair and Haze. But I still prefer it over the 19th version of some old franchise.

What did bad reviews for Lair and Haze mean for the PS3?

Again and again fanboys try to hold up each and every exclusive title and claim that they are the lynchpin to their console's future success, but that's just baloney.

Halo 3? MGS4? Those are system sellers. Those are games that mean something.

But at the same time, they don't really mean a whole lot. Each seems to push a few hundred thousand gamers into buying a console, but for the most part, those buying a 360 for Halo3, or MGS4 for PS3, would be buying those consoles anyway. Very few people are that slavishly devoted to one franchise.

The truly rare games are titles like GTA3 and WiiSports, titles that come around about once in a generation and completely alter the landscape.

Compared to those titles, Too Human and Haze being shite don't mean a damn thing to anyone but the publishers.
