Forums - Gaming Discussion - 1 Month away - Predict INFAMOUS ratings and sales

As for the game itself, I'm predicting it will rate in the 8.7.-9.3 range. It looks very good, has a promising story, and the choice to be a hero or villain is quite appealing. inFAMOUS is being made by a quality developer who is known for making good games. Interesting city design, and a plethora of various electric-based powers to choose from.

 

As for sales - I think it just got a little bit of a boost by including the Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo in it. I think it will sell between 1.0-1.5million copies within it's first year. I guess it also depends how much advertising Sony does for the game. I was watching todays NFL Draft and saw a lot of PlayStation commercials so it looks like they're getting more aggressive.

 

Thoughts?

I think it will rate in the low to mid-80's... It looks really good, but, I don't think it will get exceptional reviews.

But it will sell like Killzone 2 did because of the Unchartered multi-player bundling. (aka How Microsoft bundled Halo Multi-player beta with Crackdown to push its sales)...

Although infamous is getting lots of hype, Sony released Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet reviews more then a month before their releases. They are not doing this for infamous. Doesn't mean it will be a bad game... Just not a 90+...



I suspect that it will get a rating of 86 on Metacritic, and it will sell about 1,3 million.

I'm buying it either way.




I predict 82% on Gamerankings, 240,000 copies 1st week and 800,000 lifetime.



i don't think it's gonna break a million , not possible.

280k first week
800k lifetime, perhaps 1M.

Predictions for this game have become slighlty difficult due to the Uncharted beta. Before that was announced i was thinking this was under the radar of most gamers. Popular on gaming sites like this but the general public dont even know it exists.

 

 Hint: Uncharted is no Halo.
