IGN - Vanquish, the new sci-fi shooter from Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami, is off to a pretty good start. Mike Hayes, President and CEO of SEGA West told IGN the company is "reasonably encouraged" by the first-day U.S. sales.
"It's been in the marketplace for two days, we've seen the day one numbers and we're reasonably encouraged, but I think we need to see the rest of week one and probably week two just to see how it's going to play out," he said.
"The challenge is that it's a new franchise and that it's releasing head-to-head with a lot of established franchises in the busiest time of the year."
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.
I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.
There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'
( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
Embark on a thrilling sci-fi adventure with our carefully curated list of the best PlayStation 4 sci-fi games
Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.
Does ISLAND have English subs ? I can’t find a copy that says it has English subs for PS only the Switch version which I rather not buy .
Love Steins Gate and Soma
I own a physical copy on Switch and it does have English subtitles so it's all good on Switch and Playstation.
My bad. Steam and Switch have English but PS4 and Vita only have Japanese. Sony doesn't mess with many visual novels which is why I only own a Switch OLED and laptop for all my games.
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
I'm assuming it sold okay/well in America?
Now THAT'S a surprise! Although I feel many people who wanted it already got it Day 1, and those people who are somewhat interested in it will wait for a price drop or something.
I'm quite sure sales will be lower than Bayonetta in Japan, since those guys don't like Westaboo games, but hell, I hope it sells somewhat good enough.
Ah well, I'm still enjoying the game, so I guess that's all that counts.
The game is sick! Action packed, fast paced, Amazing! Gives Gears a run for its money IMO
This game dose look amazing gears on speed. I think it will do ok on the 360 as no gears until the end of next year and I also think it will do well on the ps3 as it has not got much first party action games left before the end of the year. I'm not getting the game until next year though as I have far too many new games to finish off as well as fable on Friday but will defo be getting the game some point in the first 3 months of next year
