Petty fanboy BS aside, I'm so hyped for Arkham Knight!

Geobros4009d ago

Witcher 3 had 1.5 Million pre-order I think few days before launch. Here I see 400,000 for USA, so maybe the numbers are true.

Paleblood4009d ago

That new Batman game will surely move a lot of PS4. Sony must make a bundle. Pretty orders are soaring for that game.

Phoenix764009d ago

Its already been announced, complete with arkham knight console skin job. Look on your browser mate.

Literally announced over a month ago. Where the heck have you been?!

"We have both stated how rare this is, both stated it could be an "exception" etc.

That alone is enough to end this on as you've proved your point beyond a reasonable doubt lol"

.....I don't really get what is left to talk about. Your not even able to get that the example with Keiji is to show the he owns the IP, AND owns the trademark yet Koch Media is publishing.

Koji owns the IP, Koch Media is publishing....YET THEY own the trademark.

What is being used in this example is that one of the 2 clearly have less of something, Koch Media has more of Bloodstain legally then they do Mighty 9.

........thats it. I've said it several times, its actually just pure speculation as to what the deal entails if really anything other then owning the name outright.

You keep making it seem as if it needs to have this absolute direct connection... Nope, its just an example of the same publisher NOT trademarking an IP and an IP being trademarked by its owner. All I'm showing is that clearly they have something going on with Bloodstained that they don't with Mighty 9.

I mean...I'm sure you actually able to get that right? That isn't a straw man. Its an example showing something is happening with Koch Media and Bloodstain that isn't happening with other games they are publishing......that is just a pure fact. Its not seeking to prove anything other then something different is going on and thats not even speculation, that is actually a fact.

Whats even more strange...is that your arguing on something I've PM'ed to you several times as being correct on lol.

"you've proved your point beyond a reasonable doubt"

and all I'm actually saying is you and I clearly know that Koch Media trademarked Bloodstained, yet Keiji's new team trademarked their game for Mighty 9 even with being published by Deep Silver.

Just speculation, but its clear something is going on with Bloodstained that isn't with Mighty 9.

Rookie_Monster4009d ago

This pre order chart is 2 months old! Vgchartz hasn't update any new chart for almost 2 months now, are they shutting down?

WizzroSupreme4009d ago

Batman's like gold for PS4 and X1 right now. I know what I'm playing this summer.

Halo art director leaves studio after 17 years with ominous message alluding to discontent

Glenn Israel writes: "As of today and after seventeen long years, I am officially no longer contributing to the Halo universe. There is little more I can say for the moment, though I intend to share this particular story in its entirety when it is absolutely safe to do so next year. In the meantime, I have a message for anyone and everyone who needs to hear it.

I know that the state of our industry seems dire, but never forget that you are *free to choose*. No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

My god.
There's a story for next year.

VenomUK224d ago

I’m really disappointed to learn there are still people/morale problems. I thought the whole point of rebranding 343i to Halo Studios was to signal that real changes had been made - not to cynically rebrand to paper over the problems.

I really hope the Halo CE remake is great and gets people hyped for the future of the series.

DarXyde223d ago

It's inevitable with the modern landscape. Even if some issues have been assuaged, new ones crop up all the time.

I'm willing to bet AI and the lack of regulation is causing substantial upset.

shinXseijuro224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

He said something very marking . We tend to complain a lot about the industry but deep down I realize that we never have we been offered this crazy amount of games all available for you to play now . You can literally play any sorts of games in 2025 . Nobody is forcing you to buy the latest COD or the latest BF . You’re more of a 8 bit cozy gaming guy there’s a whole niche of modern games for that . You like micromanaging there’s games for that . I feel like we have been spoiled so much we just stopped being realistic and thinking for ourselves . We follow trends cry about stuff online when you are the buyer you have the power .

Notellin223d ago

I'm not buying any games until another Immersive sim is made.

PhillyDonJawn224d ago

....wth happened over there?
Does this confirm a new Halo by next year?
What did they want him to do that made him feel it was morally wrong or a insult to his integrity?

-Foxtrot224d ago

Well how about that, a name change doesn’t fix internal issues

Who would have thought

jznrpg224d ago

MS was throwing money around for a long time but now it’s time to pay the Piper.

There were reports that Halo 4 and Halo 5 had similar sales to Halo: Reach years ago. The clickbait websites and rage bait YouTubers from 2012-2016 just wanted to spread excessive negativity about the franchise for their own benefit.

VenomUK313d ago

What did Halo: Infinite sell?

Sciurus_vulgaris313d ago

I don’t know. However, I would assume around 10 million. All the Halo FPS titles have done around 10 million sales, except ODST. Halo 3, was reported to exceed 14 million copies. I still remember back in 2007-2008, Halo 3 and COD 4 would duke it out for the most played XBL game.

MrNinosan313d ago

@Sciurus

There is NO WAY Infinite sold 10 million. Wake up dude.
Once upon a time, there was gamers on the Xbox side who actually bought games. Those times are since long gone.

Infinite has most likely not even hit 5 million sales

slate91314d ago

Nearly 10 million units and killing the brand is crazy work. Nicely done.

peppeaccardo313d ago

This New: Putting chocolate chips on top of a freshly made dog turd .....

1Victor313d ago

So let me get this straight in almost 13 years both games sold a combined 10 millions units.
Now I’m not going to use the obscured mentality and compared it to the amount of consoles sold and say it’s a failure 🤷🏿

thesoftware730313d ago (Edited 313d ago )

1Victor,

Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, reached nearly 10 million units worldwide "each."

Read it again, there is a word in there that clears up your misunderstanding.

1Victor313d ago

@thesoftware720
I apologize I skimmed through the article and the headline blinded me and stuck in my mind thank you for the correction 👍👍

AuraAbjure313d ago (Edited 313d ago )

Halo 4 is the best multiplayer ever! It’s even better than Titanfall 2. I admit Halo 4 got CoDified but there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other games sometimes and halo 4 did it sooooo well with that speed boost plus sword combo and SAW plus damage booth combo, holy guacamole 🥑

Some crucial improvements to halo 4 could’ve been to boost the power of the AA sentinel, and whenever matchmaking pits people against each other with an armor abilities turned off completely then the map needs to routinely spawn, plentiful, predictable, power weapons. Also, all frame rate drops are unacceptable for a halo game during split-split screen or couch co-op. Just dynamically scale the resolution of the game down but whatever happens don’t let the framer dip in a Halo game for the love of all that is holy and good!

My personal gameplay of getting 30 kills in a 4 v. 4 game of team slayer up to 60.
