Ha I so called a new Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. Figured they'd wait until 2011 so it could be 2012 themed though...

Oh lol it's Mario and Sonic at the olympics. From the thread title for some reason I saw M&S and just saw it as MS. So I thought it was Microsoft winter olympics. I was then wondering what the first microsoft olympic game with amazing sales was lol.

But yea no surprise there. M&S at the olympics did insanely well. In fact it's probably one of the most profitable console games this generation I would guess. 6.7million and it isn't a massive budget game and I didn't see a huge marketing push. I mean that's above every single PS3+360 exclusive game except for Halo 3. It beats MGS4 and GoW!



Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

 Wouldn't the winter olympics be in 2010?

2000 - summer

20002 - Winter

2004 - summer

2006 - winter

2008 - summer

2010 - winter

 

So releasing a winter olympics right before the summer olympics? That makes little to no sense to me...

Can't wait for Red Steel 2. I loved the first one.

And for those who aren't sure, Ubi have mentioned Red Steel 2 with motion plus before. So this isn't really confirming anything, other than it's still happening. Which is great!

I actually thought that Mario and Sonic at the olympics was really fun and quality (that the game i got my wii with), it just uses the wii mote so well, it could've been beetter, game is popular because its just so fun, it is an excellent party game.

Winter Games should be even better.

Red Steel 2 ? I thought first Red Steel was ok, im still buying it when i get more time (its so insanely cheap), second can only improve and build on original.
