Hopefully holiday sales will redeem Rock Band and Guitar Hero a little, but I'm not holding my breath.

I didnt really like the vanquish demo besides the graphics, was this game supposed to be some big hit?

It was so floaty in the controls and the way you moved, I didnt spend more then 5 min with it.

I've heard a lot of people say this.  It seems like everyone wants slow heavy tank-feel guy in their cover shooter 


The worst aspect of cover shooters is the mundane repetition of sitting behind a log and popping up to shoot a round into a guy with tons of health, then duck down when he fires back, then pop back up and another round, etc...

Vanquish tried going the extra mile by taking that away and giving freedom to play it like a high speed run n' gun, and everyone is unhappy that you move so agile and kick so much ass.

So Castlevania sold over 100k?

It did shitty for a full budget HD game.

I've always wondered about the parameters for this kind of thing. Like whats the typical cost of a full budget hd game?  How many do they have to sell to profit?  How many copies of a sequel (using the same engine and assets) made to recoup the development costs need to sell to offset a middling first game's performance. Stuff like that.

Don't forget about Kojima coke money

RIP music games.

Would be interesting to see that chart taken back a few more years.

Rhythm games were fine before the plastic instrument boom and they'll be fine after it. They'll probably be better off now that that's dead actually, since they can go back to creating original games.

RIP music games. 

And next week on Rock Band, the DLC is John Lennon's Imagine album. Sell your plastic instruments, it's all over, the death knell has been struck, the rock gods are going to come down from Valhalla and smote us all for our sins.
