Peter molyneux: GTA 5 sales not impressive

He also said Black and White was gonna be good game back in the day and then I bought it and it sucked.. He lies.AutoPilotOn

[QUOTE="LA-Nighthawk"]Rockstar and Take Two bragging about making more money than Hollywood movies in the press releases? Totally okay. Someone pointing out that mobile games make tons more money than GTA? F*ck off. Lumpy311

Because GTA games have a quality standard, mobile games don't.

GTA and quality in the same sentence :lol::lol::lol:

Thanks for making me laugh.

They might be fun if you have very low standards for your games. It's okay you have two kinds of people in this world: The ones with

good taste and ones who wouldn''t recognize a good game when it punches them in the face. You fall in the 2nd category if you think GTA

is quality.

And a wrong opinion at that.

seems like a pretty stupid statement...

Mobile is the future. Too much easy money for developers to ignore. It's going to have a huge affect on next-gen games, in a bad way.SKaREO

Im confused as to why anyone would actually care what he has to say.

He is like warrent spector. Sure he back in his day made a couple good games but for the past decade has done nothing worth even mentioning, yet still runs around talking as if he is relevant and people pay attention to him. Peter is just a old game developer that has lost complete touch with making games and is only recognized now for griping about things other people do while shitting out the occasional mediocre at best game.

who cares what some jackass dev thinks, we got one of the best games to enjoy this gen and we should be proud of playing it :)

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]ITT butt hurt GTA fans.ManInFlames

Probably a mobile gaming fanboy that's mad because he can't play GTA V.

ITT butt hurt GTA fans.LJS9502_basic

What a prick.

Never mind that a) the markets are entirely different, b) many of those apps are microtransaction farms and should not be applauded or encouraged by anyone who makes actual games.

Peter Molyneux is a nasty, senile old man who makes promises he doesn't keep, and delivers broken dreams to overhyped Fable fans. I bet he loves the taste of children's tears, also. 

most overrated dev of all timestereointegrity

This has been true for 15+ years.

Hopefully Godus will see him back in proper form.

If you're going by metascore the greatest game of all time is Ocarina of Time. Look at sig (the advantage is even bigger if you take the metacritic for the PS3, which is lower than the one for the 360).

seems like a pretty stupid statement...

The guy is a complete tool, Rockstar actually care about the games they make. They have made games such as Manhunt 2 knowing full well the crap storm it would recieve and that it would not sell all that well compared to GTA but they did it anyway. When Rockstar North stop making games they like to make, it will be a sad day. To be honest I think they should give GTA a break (well at least their best developers and writers) and make something else epic sales or not.

Setting two new records for game development, biggest budget and fastest sales is not something to shrug off.

http://analogaddiction.org/2013/09/20/fable-creator-gtav-sales-not-impressive/

Speaking at a mobile innovation conference with Mobile Entertainment last night, the developer said It [GTAV] will achieve around $1 billion in revenue on consoles in just one month, after noting the games popularity.

Sounds impressive doesnt it? Molynuex asked rhetorically before adding No. Thats not impressive.

Molynuex continued by comparing the sales of GTAV, a big budget AAA title to the Mobile platform and mobile games who he says are achieving between $3 million and $5 million a day.

That is impressive, Molynuex concluded.

Dude obviously doesn't understand the difference between real video games and virtual vending machines, designed to prey on stupid people with short attention spans, extra cash, and addictive personalities.

I get what Peter is saying here. A mobile game is cheap to make and to market but makes a huge return VS GT5 with a huge budget for development and marketing. All things considered as strange as it may sound the mobile game might actually make more net profit.

So breaking the 24 hour sales record for an entertainment product isn't impressive? :?

Sure not as impressive as the almighty Fable's sales, but quite up there!

LOL this guys is a joke, every single thread on him we got this guys talking shizzle out of his mouth, it's hilarious.

Its not impressive because Peter makes games just as impressive right? nope

BLAME IT ON PC PIRATES!

okay, it took me a second get get what he's saying a game like GTA V takes 5 years to make, the payoff is $1 billion in profits yet the social and mobile games can earn $3-5 million per day, so in the 5 year period it took Rockstar to make and sell GTA for that $1 billion in profits, the social and mobile games could have earned themselves between $5.5-9.1 billion, that's the point he's making I had no idea mobile and social games made so much, what games is he talking about that do so well?lamprey263

That would imply that mobile games have 5 years of longevity.  Other then angry birds none would be close not to mention most people who play on mobile don't buy games.  I can't blame him though he has failed at most of his console titles as Fable never came close to its potential.  He simply wasn't good enough to cut it in the console industry so better luck to him in mobile.
