Congrats Ken!!! You and your team deserve it for all the hard work you put into this game for the last five years.This game deserves to sell extremely well.It's very impressive that they achieved universal acclaim at the end of the console life cycle and this gives me hope that The Last of Us will have the ability to achieve similar results:).
In the article it said this:
"Many have pointed to relative sales flops like God Of War: Ascension, which managed less than half of God Of War III’s UK opening week sales – despite being on sale for four more days – as proof the current gen of consoles is dead and buried and gamers are just dying to fork out hundreds of pounds to move on to next-gen at long last."
I'm all in favor of new IPs and thankfully Sony is letting their devs do this instead of pumping out sequels constantly but people are acting like God of War is a milked franchise when this game is only the second new entry this gen. It's still probably one of the best next hack n' slashes on the market. The criticism the game got was definitely unnecessary and all the reviewers did was nitpick. So with that said I'm sure Sony Santa Monica will evolve the series next gen so pe...
I'm just curious the article says Ascension bombed. How is selling over 400k in the first week in the US alone considered a flop? What do people honestly expect it to sell better than the main entries? There's no way considering how much hype there was going for GOW3 and it's so late in the console life cycle. It will still sell 2-3 million units in its lifetime. GOW4 or a reboot of the series on ps4 will get the huge numbers no doubt
Correction the third and most likely the fourth game are shit. The first two games are amazing especially SR2
And SR2 was way better than the both of them
I played SR2 so much. I loved that game. I just beat the third once once and never played it again because it was such a disappointment
Man so disappointing. What happened Volition? The first two games had so much charm and was so fun. Now the last two installments are way over the top which makes the series seem like it will never be somewhat serious anymore
Sorry but SR2 was so much better of a game than the third was
I miss the somewhat serious story they had in the first two games. Both of them had a great balance of serious and fun. I was so disappointed by the third because I was anticipating it so much because the Saints series has been my favorite series of this gen so it was a bummer to see how the third turned out. This looks the same as the third and they still are in steelport. I am sorry but that city blows compared to stilwater
That was such an awkward conversation lmao
What about Kratos?
This is what someone commented on Kotaku:
"I think Tomb Raider COMPLETELY blows away Uncharted. It's my GOTY for 2013 so far, and I don't see it getting beaten. It's just so badass in so many ways, it makes Uncharted look like Sesame Street.
The super dark, gritty world REALLY blew me away. I'm at the part where I just got knocked off the bridge into a certain "river" if you know what I mean. SO AWESOME!!!!! Man ... this is the darkest ...
This is very interesting.We'll see tonight in the interview if Joakim Mogren is really CliffyB
Its a very fun and addicting game. Keep the new characters and stages coming
Bear Down
YES!!!
This one no doubt
Sweet I haven't played this game in years. I will definitely be getting this on steam
Can't wait!!! Hopefully the 3ds version of the game can hold its own compared to the WiiU version
