Dead Rising 4 outsold The Last Guardian

Why doesnt it?

LOL me liking or not liking your response is irrelevant cause I have no feelings for your response, like I said I was just messing with you so it doesn't bother me in the slightest. But tell the true, if TLG sold more, you would put up some here's another "flop" message?????????

Tell the truth!!

You know you can, come on now, let's be real

LOL.

I figured The Last Guardian would have done much better, even as a niche title. The hype for this game has been off the charts crazy for nearly 10 years back when it was supposed to be on the PS3. On top of that, the PS4 holds a 2:1 hardware advantage (based on some guesstimates here) which should have cemented the win. I believe it should have moved some consoles as well.

There is still plenty of time, and the game is awesome. I would love to see some PS Pro TLG bundles, or even a special edition PS4 skinned with TLG.

Keep that little fire burning.

Lulz, 10 years of hype and racking up preorders gets demolished by a stripped down dead rising on a platform with a much smaller install base. Xbox Won

Many say that DR games are fun, but I haven't played any of them. I may jump in on this game to see what all the hype is about. It is good to see both games doing well in the UK after one week. Us gamers are the winnings.

@mjorh: yeah I also want all my games on steam were possible.

It's already annoying having separate game lists on origin and uplay

I wish every game went on steam

Even crappier shit outsold DR4. What's the point?

Not sure if this is even supposed to be a surprise. It's a lot like comparing a Miyazaki movie to a summer horror film. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the musuou zombie shooter is outselling a nuanced puzzle adventure.

Sequel on two platforms versus a new ip.

An action game versus an artsy adventure game. Zombies versus boy with giant version of catdog. Pretty obvious what game was going to sell more. That said I'll take my chances with an Ueda game and just replay Dead Rising 1 when I'm in the mood for a Dead Rising fix. Since they took what was genuinely a great game, and then proceeded to take out everything that made it enjoyable and unique in the first place.

@commander: You are everything wrong with gaming sir.

If it makes the cows feel any better, I bought both games.

@dynamitecop:

You know what happened to the last guy who took a pic with his thumb prominently displayed right? lolol :P

Seeking validation again,eh?

I'm sure DR4 being on the market 3 more days than TLG has nothing to do with it.

@dynamitecop said:

Your thumb is too long, you should do something about it. Also your subconscious made you put TLG over DR4. Even you know which is better but you're not being honest with yourself.

You must have read the Jim Sterling review for TLG hah :)? That said enough

This isn't surprising, although TLG has had hype buildups and letdowns out the wazoo. I bought TLG, as I haven't played a Dead Rising since the first.

From what I heard this is nothing to brag about. The gap between the two is miniscule in the UK right now. Both games will probably break 1 million eventually.

If you zoom in on the picture you can see him making a draft post to come up with an excuse to show them lol

Whatever fills your stockings I guess.

Funny that Lemmings still make sales threads when their dud of a console is still 30 million behind lol!

Just like No Man's Fail. Sony has learned that the cows will overpay for anything just look at PS plus.

Meh. IMO, Dead Rising games are not that great, there are better zombie games out there. State of Decay, Left for Dead for example. TLOU (whether you consider it zombie or not is up to you) and even the Zombie modes in Call of Duty are all more fun than Dead Rising. I imagine Days Gone will be better than Dead Rising as well. DR is just too goofy now.

Do you have a link from MS stating the official sales numbers for the Xbox One sell through?

Yes you can.

Actually...

Could probably be because Dead Rising 4 is the fourth game in a well known franchise and is also on multiple platforms while TLG is a successor to a 10 year old PS2 game that has been delayed multiple and is only on one platform.

The only place TLG had any real hype was gaming forums on the internet. It was always going to be a very niche title.

Only console sales matter.

Even if I had a PS4, I'm not sure I would have bought Last Guardian unless it was dirt cheap. Its simply not the kind of game I care to play, and I never got into either of Team Ico's previous games when I had my PS2.

That said, I don't care about Dead Rising 4 either since I'm not a fan of anything with Zombies in it.

C'mon man, chill, i was kidding, of course it's your opinion and you're right.

But this was on Xbox only for sales.

Makes sense since TLG is a true PS4 excluive and DR4 is not.

SONY wins again,

DR4 was even outsold purely by Xbox One copies.

@Heil68: You have to be getting paid by Sony for the posts you make. There's literally no other way to explain it.

Even in that case my first point stands. Dead Rising is a more known and popular franchise. Shadow of the Colossus was successful 10 years ago, but VGChartz is showing only about 1.12 million sold worldwide. Even with the PS3 re-release of the game, I doubt the game sold over 2.5 million over 10 years. That's successful enough on its own, but Dead Rising was a more popular game when it first launched and has had multiple sequels on multiple platforms. It's going to have a much larger fanbase than TLG would have.

Well there's that and the fact there are no more Sony exclusives since the Poo launched. Just sayin. :P

i made TLOU 2 thread, i don't care ...i see some good and controversial news, i post it here

Of course it had more days on the chart compare to TLG which came on the weekend.

Yeah but that's liking telling children there's no Santa Claus, so I just let them be in their own world

This is the important part : which, we should point out, launched last Tuesday compared to The Last Guardian's Friday release - meaning it had another few days on sale).

But of course, you can't see here a reasonable discussion. LOL

I totally agree with you in regard to how main stream DR4 is. I still thought TLG would have done better after all these years. No matter, I got my copy and I am enjoying. I think if it sells 1-2 million, maybe would still get a sequel.

I can't say if I have seen an ad for the game on TV, but I haven't watched much TV lately.

I think the internet gives a skewed perspective of the actual popularity of a game series. All of the vocal fans online can make a game seem a lot more popular than it really is. At the same time I think the internet also makes popular game seem much more hated. Look at CoD. That sels insanely well each year even when the internet vocally hates it.

I think that's why it's a bit surprising for some that there is lower sales for TLG but there are also higher sales for Final Fantasy 15. At the same time, TLG is not getting nearly the advertising that Final Fantasy is getting.

@SolidTy: Sorry bro, not buying the "newish, niche up" crap. The gaming public knows what TLG is. Cows claimed E3 victory after the crowd exploded when seeing it in 2015. The dev trouble was also enough to make the title a first page talking point a plenty. It got plenty of exposure.

The game itself, in nature, is kinda niche ...it's not a game that everyone would be inclined to play... however, as you said, it got advertised well and the exposure was there

that was expected

Last Guardian is a niche title.

I'm not surprised in the least.

Niche title with cult following.

VS.

Hackneyed genre with gore and action.

Many of today's gamers don't have the patience to enjoy TLG let alone find it interesting enough from the trailers to enjoy. Hell... many of today's gamers were 0-5 years old when TLG started production.

I am totally on board with that. I would add more, but I agree with everything you said.

Cows here full of the same BS excuses they always are.

Like I said in the other thread, cows always brag up exclusives as some huge factor, but the reality is the 50 million cow herd DOESN'T BUY THEM. Even a niche game should easily sell 1 million units with a 50+ million install base thats only 2-percent.

LOL at the 'high brow artsy game' vs 'low brow' argument. The majority of the PS4 base arent like the cows here living in a bubble thinking Japanese games move consoles. The truth is the the bulk of the herd are Bro gamers that mostly play CoD, BF, Madden, NBA2K and FIFA.

Sony couldnt even sell SFV to the PS base when it was huge on Xbox. Serves Capcom right for selling their soul for a jelly roll.

TLHBO SALTY TEARS BUTTHURT. blah blah Standard cow rebuttal.
