Forums - Sales - Heavy Rain...Heavy sales flop?

dandd on 18 September 2009

I seriously doubt this game will crack the 1million mark.

Indigo Prophecy was alright, but it doesn't make me want to buy Heavy Rain.

I don't think Cage cares that much about Heavy Rain sales, and we shouldn't either. Of course, minimal sales are required to fund the project, but that's all.

Like CGI said, it brings something new to the gaming industry, that's what matters most.

As an adult, I'm really fed up with shooters and generic games right now. We need something new. We need games for adults (including moral decisions and - why not - sexuality). We need more mature games now.

The average game is aimed at 15 years old people, yet the average gamer is around 32 if I remember correctly. I see a problem there.

Of course he cares about the sales! (for the reasons u just described) But I understand what you mean, and I agree with everything else. Good post.

It looks like a fun little game. I just don't see it topping 600k. Probably in the range of 350k to 600k tops.

I guess it really depends on what type of marketing strategy Sony comes up with though. And as everyone knows, Sony hasn't done to well in that department for a long time.

I think this game can be profitable and will crack 1 million. Sony needs to market this game very well, though.

If it goes above 1.5 million, I'm going to laugh like a maniac.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Cage cares about the game being received well. This is one of the reasons it was delayed, he wants perfection. I'd MUCH rather that than some dev that says, oh well, just put it out, it'll sell 5 million copies regardless.

This. Rarely any developer nowadays puts innovation above money.

I'd say over a million seeing as how you don't really have to be a gamer to play this.

But only the Hardc0rxe gamers have a Ps3.

the playstation systems has always been the console for hardcore and casual gamers alike.

OP is sorta trollish.

They should call it Chubby Rain and enjoy the extra sales.

Deal with the lawsuit later.
