From what i see on social media they love days gone and the zombie battles

 

[Shadowstar39]

So fucking stupid to can a new IP that sold over 7m.

Theres only so much horizon, gow, tlou and spiderman we can take before we bounce from it.

Makes no sense to me.

Yep... same thing xbox did with Halo, Gears, forza for years.... before 2nd part of 360 gen they had more games... Just like Sony has become now a GOW, Horizon, Tlou, Spiderman factory. Sprinkled in with GT every gen. eventually it will bite them in the ass.

Fighting the zombie hordes is some of the most exhilarating bits of the game.

Especially when they come at you and you realise fuck there is more then i thought there would be.

 

[Senua]

So as expected middling sales for Last of Us 2 below expectations. 8 million less than a REMASTER of the first one. That is how thirsty people were for more Last of Us that a remaster could sell that much.

Same amount of sales as the Nathan Drake collection.

Word of mouth was just bad for that game, Cuckman really fumbled with his mourn porn. It should've been YUUUUUUUUUUUUGEE

I mean it's still yuge but I mean Really YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

 

[mckmas8808]

We need to know the total cost of TLOUSpart2, because 10m don't look that good for the amount of PR this game did and spend.

We know the game cost $200 million to make. And these sales are from 2022. But if the average price was $45 then we are talking about $450 million at a minimum in revenue. How is that bad?

Exactly. And the RoI from Bloodborne wasn't deemed high enough to greenlight a sequel.

It's just simple math.

Too many people are willing to believe untrue things just because they personally liked a game.

You don't know if the bolded is true or not.

So as expected middling sales for Last of Us 2 below expectations. 8 million less than a REMASTER of the first one. That is how thirsty people were for more Last of Us that a remaster could sell that much.

The 10m milestone is up to June 9th. 2022

The TV show increased the sales a lot for this game and the others.

One thing for sure, Part II wasn’t bundled as the last of us remastered was. By now, the game might be close to 15m. Units sold.

 

[Fake]

I don't think last of us 2 performed to what they expected .....

Taking into account they will never tell us the cost of production, I think is the case.

They put a LOAD amount of money into PR, not to mention the equipment for face capture is damn expensive.

And last, but not least, Jason said ND have unlimited amount of money from Sony, like no other Sony Studio have this privilege.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Returnal was a flop.

 

[Holammer]

its a rougelike shooter with no story. you cant ask $70 for that game. At $40 it wouldve sold very well.

There is a story, but it's artsy wank: Is this real or the product of a diseased mind trying to grapple with loss?
That type of thing, where you have to check a YT video with someone like vaatividya to explain the story. To be perfectly honest? It would have been better received without the heavy handed symbolism that goes over the head of 99% of players.

Spoiler: actual spoiler

 

[TGO]

I mean the fact that people continue to try proving that a game that sold 10 million was a flop. My post was a joke

Nah it was never going to be a flop, but people was making out it was sold 20+mill
And people thought it was selling slowly in comparison and was nowhere near that number
And they was right

I guess a Part II remaster is coming up for PS5 just in time for the TV series Season 2

 

[ProtoByte]

Goddamn executives grounding nascent and seemingly successful IPs because they failed to reach a quintillion sales. Bloody idiots. All these IPs and the PS5 library is still in laughable state.

It would be good if there were some real 'journalists', that got off the publisher teat and ask these knobheads some real questions why they failed to greenlight and support and grow these franchises despite the numbers and fan support.

Time to purge the leadership; this whole generation has been lacklustre and anaemic.

"More sequels please!!"
Really, the only one that can be argued to be Sony's fault here is Days Gone. Didn't Garvin and the other guy outright say that it was Bend studio leadership that didn't want a sequel? Not Sony executives?

 

[Godot25]

They chose that path themselves and they deserve all that dogshit that comes with it

Lol. Have you read Schreier's article?

Oregon-based Sony Bend, best known for the 2019 open-world action game Days Gone, tried unsuccessfully to pitch a sequel that year, according to people familiar with the proposal. Although the first game had been profitable, its development had been lengthy and critical reception was mixed, so a Days Gone 2 wasn’t seen as a viable option.

Instead, one team at the studio was assigned to help Naughty Dog with a multiplayer game while a second group was assigned to work on a new Uncharted game with supervision from Naughty Dog. Some staff, including top leads, were unhappy with this arrangement and left. Bend's developers feared they might be absorbed into Naughty Dog, and the studio’s leadership asked to be taken off the Uncharted project. They got their wish last month and are now working on a new game of their own that will be part of a brand new franchise.

Yeah. That really sound as they chosed this path

 

[mckmas8808]

Ghost of Tsushima sold 800k in 4-5 months (Feb 22 - July 22).

Nobody cares about your facts and information. We'll just act like these numbers from Feb 22 are the last days all Playstation games were available for sale.

 

[mortal]

To think there is a timeline where we got to play sequels to Bloodborne, Days Gone, & Drive Club. Rather than Sony pivoting from their all-in GaaS strategy.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Just ad a bulge between the legs of his wife in the sequel, problem solved.

Gonna need a bigger saddle for that bike

 

[SlimySnake]

Lol. Have you read Schreier's article?


Yeah. That really sound as they chosed this path

Studio heads turned down the Days Gone 2 pitch. Devs wanted to make Days Gone 2.

Really, the only one that can be argued to be Sony's fault here is Days Gone. Didn't Garvin and the other guy outright say that it was Bend studio leadership that didn't want a sequel? Not Sony executives?

Both the director Jeff Ross and lead writer John Garvin said that this was the case.

 

[Spyxos]

Uncharted Legacy of Thieves: 569K. And people were expecting it to sell 10M copies on PC when the sales completely dried up even on Playstation. Hell, didn't it actually sell more on PC than on PS5?

Wow i liked it way more than Uncharted 4. I did not expect these low sales figures.
I've misread

 

[onQ123]

Nah it was never going to be a flop, but people was making out it was sold 20+mill
And people thought it was selling slowly in comparison and was nowhere near that number
And they was right

Even if someone claimed it sold 20 million you all still look like fools trying to downplay 10 million sold

 

[MikeM]

Look at those digital splits Thick Thighs Save Lives @rofif And all my other physical brothers, so much for this being the last gen with discs.

First thing I noticed. RIP to all the “digital is all people buy” crew.

[Luigi Mario]

Wow i liked it way more than Uncharted 4. I did not expect these low sales figures.

That is referring to the Remaster collection and not Lost Legacy by itself.
Lost Legacy sold over 5 million units.

 

[mansoor1980]

i look at the numbers for driveclub , bloodborne and how sony treated these IPs and think................................

 

[Spyxos]

That is referring to the Remaster collection and not Lost Legacy by itself.
Lost Legacy sold over 5 million.

Yes, I misread that.

 

[Yonyx]

There is something wrong with Detroit Become Human numbers. It cannot be that the sell-through number is higher than the sell-in number.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

The 10m milestone is up to June 9th. 2022

The TV show increased the sales a lot for this game and the others.

One thing for sure, Part II wasn’t bundled as the last of us remastered was. By now, the game might be close to 15m. Units sold.

Not to mention that TLoU Remastered had an additional 6 years on the market to be sold before TLoU: Part II was even released.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Others keypoints:

- TLOU2 is a failure compared to TLOU1. The game on PS4 benefitted from 100 millions of PS4 but failed to sell more than TLOU remastered on the same console. They went woke with the story and killed the main protagonist of the beloved IP. Imagine if Nintendo decided to kill Mario and replace him with something else.
- Bloodborne is potentially a monster IP but they let it rot completely
- The best IPs they have on PS5 (IPs they fully own, not that bad Marvels deal) is Demon's Souls (sold twice more than Returnal) and Ratchet but they decided to put all their chips on IPs they don't own and a GAAS venture that is already failing.

 

[Danjin44]

Exactly. And the RoI from Bloodborne wasn't deemed high enough to greenlight a sequel.

It's just simple math.

Too many people are willing to believe untrue things just because they personally liked a game.

There are lot of games that didn't sell very high and still got sequel. If FROM interested making one then they would have regardless of sales, that what made them willing to make Armored Core VI because they were passionate about the IP.

 

[TGO]

Even if someone claimed it sold 20 million you all still look like fools trying to downplay 10 million sold

I mean sure if "it still sold 10 million" is what you wanna fall back on, it was the number we all knew about and was confused why they hadn't announced new numbers since.
That doesn't change that people was right about it not being as successful as the original and the sales had fell off.

 

[mckmas8808]

First thing I noticed. RIP to all the “digital is all people buy” crew.

They'll come back when the all-digital Xbox Series S and X consoles are revealed next year. Anything to win the console "internet" war.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

Why does Sony hate Days Gone so much?

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Not to mention that TLoU Remastered had an additional 6 years on the market to be sold before TLoU: Part II was even released.

Not only that, the remastered version was sold at $50 not $60.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Seeing those Bloodborne numbers just make their handling of the IP even more baffling.

You could just make it 60FPS and bump the resolution and still sell millions of full price copies of 'Bloodborne: Remastered'

These numbers prove TLOU2 was a pure success! Stop trolling.

 

[TheKratos]

Spiderman! DAMN. Franchise ain't going out anytime soon. Hell, turn Insomniac into exclusively Marvel studio and print dem dollars.

 

[Saber]

Why does Sony hate Days Gone so much?

Those people were more concerned with critical reception, social people comments and metacritic than the actual people who bought and play the game talk about.

 

[Robb]

Gonna need a bigger saddle for that bike

 

[kazuyamishima]

I guess a Part II remaster is coming up for PS5 just in time for the TV series Season 2

Not to mention that TLoU Remastered had an additional 6 years on the market to be sold before TLoU: Part II was even released.

ND and Sony are playing the “long game”

Also from the data.
The Last of Us Part II: 10.3m units sold as 9th of June 2022
Net Sales: $447m.

The Last of Us: 18.6m units sold
Net Sales: $402m.

Please this coming from a game that most of us thought shouldn't have existed in the first place, since the 1st game ended perfectly. I think selling another 10+ million is overly great!

 

[DForce]

Lmao LoU2 sold less than Lou Remaster, and probably costed waaaaay more to develop

Demon Souls should be ashamed of just selling that poor, but I guess it appeases the graphic whores. Meanwhile Elden Ring wipes the floor yet it didn't need realistic visuals, just a stunning art direction.

Kudos to GoT and Days Gone for selling that way even though were new IPs. Specially Days Gone since it was from a time people annoyingly complain about the "zombie apocalipse" being tired setting

Remaster was bundled for free for nearly 6 years.

According to NPD, TLOU 2 surpassed Remaster revenue in two weeks.

That means the game was heavily bundled.

You'll find out pretty soon that lots of people on GAF don't like math. So they won't understand your post.

 

[skit_data]

Oh shit, she transitions into a man by the end of it?
/s

I haven't finished the game, I will do at some point but just knowing how fucking long the game is keeps me from picking it up again.

 

[DarthPutin]

Sony has become now a GOW, Horizon, Tlou, Spiderman factory. S

Horizon got Horizon II. Nu!GOW got Nu!GOWII. Spider-Man got Spider-Man 2 (ok, arguably 3). TLOU got TLOU 2. Each got one sequel. You guys complain that Sony became sequel factory.... Because they aren't making Days Gone II. A sequel! Make it make sense.

Bend is working on new IP, isn't it what you wanted? Days Gone 2 wouldn't be new IP anymore than TLOU2, Spider-Man 2, Horizon II are... You know, games y'all complain about. If I were an exec who tries to listen to "gamerz" I'd go insane.

 

[TheKratos]

These numbers prove TLOU2 was a pure success! Stop trolling.

Almost 50% drop in units sold. Really curious what TLOU3 would do, TLOU2 rode on Part 1's succes and still had massive sales drop.

 

[Humdinger]

How did R&C 2016 manage 7M+ but Rift Apart will probably struggle to break 4M?

Maybe they should have continued with the reboot after all.

I was surprised to see Rift Apart only did 3 mil or so. I guess that's decent, but it's less than half of what R&C sold. Of course, many of those R&C sales would have been at a discount price.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Lol lou2 abysmal. Imagine if drück didn't alienate half of the fans lol.

I remember when people here attacked me after talking about it selling just 10 mil. Both Uncharted 4 and lou1 wipe the floor with it.

Lou3 will be even more woke and cringe and sell even less.

 

[Saber]

You'll find out pretty soon that lots of people on GAF don't like math. So they won't understand your post.

Not sure why you acting that way, but I'm pretty sure the production costs of a remaster is waaaaaay less than a full huge AAA game.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Why is The Last of Us selling 18+ million in more than 8 years considered good but The Last of Us 2 selling 10+ million in less than 2 years considered a failure? lol
