There is none. No game has a 100% not to flop.

And the fact that you putMAG :lol: and GT5 considering only one GT has ever got a AAA here.

I see you have neglected to mention any 360 or PC games. I also see that you have included some wonderful reasons for the lack of floppage.

If Killzone 2 can get at least a 9.0 here, then it's not a flop.

I like how half of those games (Uncharted, Heavey Rain, Killzone 2, and Mag) have a good possibility of getting AA or lower. :P

Remember how people felt there was no way Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess could flop, and then Ninja Gaiden 2. No game is untouchable.

None-the-less, my second point still stands.

However, it's been said before-there is no game that has a zero percent or "pretty much zero chance" of flopping. None.

Anything by Blizzard, otherwise there is always a chance of a flop. Blizzard refuse to release bad games though.

[QUOTE="darklord888"]Half-life 2: Episode 3 Starcraft 2 Diablo 3 That is all.

I agree on Episode 3, but I think the other two have a high probability of flopping (score wise). The hype for them is astronomical, and who knows what Gamespot is going to do. Besides, D2 only got an 8.5, so anything could happen this time around.

so, he still has a valid point. the fact that only 1 is a multiplat, and the rest PS3 titles speaks volumes.

Um no, i think a few of them have a chance of flopping. In particular, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, MAG and Uncharted 2 guessing they'll be hyped AAA.

Clarification for me: What is considered a "flop" by forum standards here?

I have seen some people in other threads call a game a "flop" because it was expected to be a 10 but only got 9 and a half thus falling below expectations if only a small bit. Am I the only one who finds that to be retarded logic?

Go easy on me, I am new to these forums and not familiar with the grading scales you use.

That's what a "flop" is here-if it doesn't meet the hype given to it, it's a flop. Otherwise, it's not.

And the fact that you putMAG :lol: and GT5 considering only one GT has ever got a AAA here.

rybe1025

Bzzzt! Wrong answer!

Lets do our homework here.

GT 3 got a 94% on gamespot so it would be a 95% now and GT 4 got an 89% which would be a 90% now. So the last two have both gotten AAA.

The only reason proglogue didn't is because it's not a full game, and thus doesn't really count.

You really think Diablo III and Starcraft II, two of the biggest games of the decade, have less chance of doing well than a PS3-exclusive interactive movie?

We don't convert older scores to the new scoring system-reviews were done differently, so they aren't comparable :?

Actually, GT3 got a 9.4 and GT4 got a 8.9. That's what they got, no rounding up. The old system is the old system and the new system is the new system. If they were to be rounded up/down, then GS would have actually done that.

If Prologue didn't count, then why did they release it as a full retail game and why did it get reviewed as a full game?

i garuntee atleast 2 of those games get below a 9 and flop

My money's on MAG and Heavy Rain for that.

I definitely think Mag could flop The only games that I ever believed had no chance of flopping were MGS4 and SMG.

Then you can't compare old games reviewed under the old way to new games. Period. Thus the standards for AAA, AA and other games was different back then.

You can't have it both ways. You can't compare an 8.5 then to an 8.5 now even though you people do it all the time because, as you said, it was the "old" system.

Lets be consistent here on System Wars just ONCE, OK? Fair enough?

Yet you guys will complain Braid was cheaper and wasn't a full game so it shouldn't be compared to other full priced games?

Again, lets be consistent. If Braid isn't a "full" game and shouldn't be compared to full priced games, neither is Prologue.

You go by what it would be closest to in todays ratings. It's .4 from 10 and .1 from 9.5.

An unhyped game is a game that can't flop. Meaning 90% of the Wiis library.

Then you can't compare old games reviewed under the old way to new games. Period. Thus the standards for AAA, AA and other games was different back then.

You can't have it both ways. You can't compare an 8.5 then to an 8.5 now even though you people do it all the time because, as you said, it was the "old" system.

Lets be consistent here on System Wars just ONCE, OK? Fair enough?

And you only base comparisons off of scores? There are more to reviews than just scores.

... interactive movie?

Cherokee_Jack
You're wrong...

Am I? What would you like me to call it?

I would say: "Imersive and ultra-interactive storytelling art... Calling it "interative movie" is just insulting the work of Quantic dream. :)

Uncharted won't flop and neither wil GoW3 but Killzone might. I actually think it will. It will look gorgeous but something will happen (I'm NOT bashing it.). And a flop is below a 9! the first Uncharted was an 8 but it was simply amazing.
