MVCUK: "Though Blur may well have gone on to sell plenty more in June, it’s highly unlikely that 31k unit sales will bring it anywhere near the levels Activision would have expected."
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
Bad games = poor sales... To be fair racing genre is dying. Very few racing games hit the 1 million mark these days people are looking for something better than arcade style racing.
even modnation sold better
The only reason this sold badly was because it was a week behind Split Second and up against Red Dead and Mod Nation Racers on its release day. Had they waited another month for some clear air it would have faired much better. Timing is key and they loused it up badly with their scheduling.
Can't race like a big boy, when you don't have the gas money.
Bizarre Creations had the chance to showcase something quite special under Activision, but they produce a basic power-up/weapon based racing game which lacks any originality. Split Second showed what could be achieved with a bit of creative thinking.
I love Bizarre, but they can do a lot better than Blur.
