To be fair, if you were Nintendo and saw the Europe reviews basically calling this game shit and having the game itself bomb there while still having an obligation to release it in the states, would you really go out of your way to release more than the minimal amount of copies?

They literally did nothing to promote the game. Even before all the reviews. If they didn't like how it looked or whatever they could've offered to help with the development. Do fucking something...

The TBFP playthrough has been a fun watch but the game looks awful.

I might play it sometime down the line as a fan of shooters, melee combat intertwined with shooting, and Itagaki-san, but it just looks like fucking shit.

Sony has been pushing cinematic shitgames for over a decade now and many of them were a proper success. The Order was an attempt at going 90% movie but it backfired.

>>320247991
>>320247008
Sony's plan is "fund 10 games, hope 1 is a hit."

So they end up with 90% misses, but then get Bloodborne. And for some very small number of people, Order was a game that appealed directly to them, without pandering to a mass market that (as sales demonstrate) wasn't interested.

Demon's Souls received the same treatment as Devil's Third.
It was immediately labelled as a shit game, that's why they rushed its development and made it a JP exclusive until fans forced Sony to release it in EU and NA.

Also if Demon's Souls received a fair treatment the game would be way better now, the reason why there's so much cut content is that they cut the budget and squeezed it out prematurely, because it was one of those "shitty games".
>>
>>320251123
>Sounds like he's saying that Demons Souls is as bad as Devils Third.

That guy is referring to the publishing issue DeS have where SONY refuse to publish it due to how 'bad' it is.
Atlus give it a chance, and look where it ended up being.
>>
>>320237824
probably because action shooter games goes against the kind of stuff nintendo usually have
>>
>>320251294
You expect publishers to waste money on all shit games just because there's a chance that a sleeper hit could come out maybe, which is kinda like banking on the publisher being wrong.

Thats fucking stupid.
If you think that your game is that amazing and your genius is misunderstood then you should consider looking for another publisher. Thats what the Demons Souls people did.

nintendo really needs to break out of their shitty mario comfort zone

the snes era was shitting out game after game and now they are too scared to release stuff like fatal frame cuz they think it wont sell as well as a mario title?

is this shit all reggies doing?
>>
>>320251551
>Thats what the Demons Souls people did.

Actually, the game is close to be completely shafted.
Atlus are the one who extend the hand to publish it.
FYI DeS is co-developed with Sony Studio and when its done they think its shit and refuse to publish it.

>You expect publishers to waste money on all shit games just because there's a chance that a sleeper hit could come out maybe, which is kinda like banking on the publisher being wrong.
How much does a 1/2 hour feature in treehouse cost?
How much does it cost to announce it on tweeter?
How much does it cost to put up a youtube video?

Also, Devils Third is in a completely different situation.
They ALREADY HAVE A PUBLISHER, but this particular publisher refuse to sell this game even though they publish it.

Its not the same as a game that didn't have any publisher.

Apparently they only shipped something like 5,000 copies, and that's being generous.

If more copies aren't announced then I'd guess $200-ish until the game isn't digitally available.

How do you ship only 5,000 copies of a game?
Do companies not make at least several ten-thousand copes during normal runs? Are they holding all other copes in a warehouse somewhere?

Seriously I'm fucking sick at Nintendo pulling this low-print shit with their games. But its always ok when fucking Nintendo does it.
>>
>>320253838
They pretended it didn't exist before it even released because of the shitty reviews, are you high? The only thing the game is known for now is killing free radical.

2009 Wolfenstein. After the game didnt meet their expectations they sold the franchise, unemployed Raven, removed the game from Steam and any trace about it from their site.
>>
>>320253993
>They pretended it didn't exist before it even released because of the shitty reviews, are you high?

And NoA pretend it doesn't exist ever since they show it off last year.

And Ubisoft promote the game adequately before the review come off and I'm pretty sure most of the review embargo is a mere couple of days before the actual release date.
>>
>>320253959
According to rumors, they shipped 'just enough' to fill pre-orders and have a few copies on the side. It's been going around that Gamestop all across America got a grand total of 420 DUDE copies.

Afro Samurai 2

>>320237824

The game is horribly mediocre. It's a really bad late PS2 Early PS3/360 game. If I were Nintendo I wouldn't want anyone to see it either.
>>
>>320254386
Doesn't stop it from being greedy shit though.

I'm actually tempted to buy Xenoblade Chronicles X now after what happened with the first one due to this low shipment bullshit. Ton's of other Wii U games are still at $50+ even years after release, like Lego City.

i want this game...but its impossible to find its going for 200 bucks on ebay

That's a claim no one would self apply where I come from.

>>320254597
What? Bandai did a moderate shit for it, but its far far better than the treatment this game is getting.

Are you sure you understand the situation here?
>>
>>320254370
Bethesda wants everyone to forget about Wolfenstein 2009, not Activision. Although why I have no idea; that game was pretty good

As for Raven, both Wolf 09 and Singularity sold like shit since Activision did a piss poor job of advertising either of them, so they're stuck working on COD until they die.
>>
>>320253959

Just download it over the shop if you really want to play a shitty/mediorce game

just wait for the PC version.
>>
>>320254580
Both publishers see the games as a possible staain on their reputation, one of them came to this conclusion after release, and another did before, but choose to release it anyway to get at least some money back. It is the same approach which differs when the situation differs.

First party Nintendo games rarely if ever go down in price.

The only two WiiU first party titles I've seen for cheap were Nintendoland, which was a pack-in, and Ninja Gaiden 3, which went multiplat afterwards.

>>320255079
No its not.
NoA have been trying to avoid even mentioning this game even since they show it off last year.
Both publisher did adequate enough to promote the game approaching its release date.

>>320255114
Afro Samurai is published by Bamco.
Afro Samurai 2 is pulled because people hated it, prior to that the small publisher did it best to promote the game.

Most of the game cited have publisher abandoning it AFTER the review went out or if the game have shitty sales.
But non so far have the same treatment as Devil Third where the publisher try it dammest not to mention it ever since it was previewed over a fucking year ago till its release.

>>320249003

Because Japan made it, and it's okay when Japan makes shitty games.

Did you know that before reviews dropped there were people defending the Master of Ninja Gaiden Itagaki saying he will show everyone who's boss when the game comes out?

Nintendolts probably believed in the hype and then realized they made a huge mistake when they saw >>320250583
>>
>>320256005
Because they are basically forced to publish this game, most likely by NoJ.
During the Wii era people have to BEG to get a couple of game, and even then most of the work were done by NoE while NoA keep going back and forth on whether to publish it.

>>320256231
Believe it or not Devil Third got a decent reception in Japan because of it fun multiplayer and some decent review.

The quality of the game have nothing to do with this, its just NoA being NoA.
They've published a lot of turd back then.

he used unreal 3 as his engine and nintendo didn't bother fully supporting the engine so there's a lot of problems. look at other unreal 3 games on the wii u too.

Wii U is such a powerhouse of a console that it can't even handle last generations iteration of the Unreal engine.

literally less powerful than a ps3/xbox360

truthposting bruh. Unreal 3 can't be optimized for Wii U, which is why it never has been.

Every "good looking" Wii U game is technically about as advanced as a gamecube game in terms of the scripts and coding controlling asset loading, physics, particles, and so on - which is why every "good looking" Wii U game is otherwise barren of these common staples in modern game design.

Just yet another cheap japanese knockoff console from Satoru Iwata, may he not rest in peace until Nintendo actually becomes worthwhile in his wake.
