Nice, Im glad to see tales sold 150k. It should slowly reach 200k in a few weeks. That should be enough for namco to know that we want the tales series back in the states so hopefully tales of innocence gets translated. Im seriously disappointed in silent hill sales. It a really good game and for it to sell that low is just disgusting.

Shivan4413d ago

thats what you get when a western dev is involved ( silent hill)

tales has always been a series people wanted.

-Mika-4413d ago

It doesn't matter if a western dev is developing it. It was still a good game. If fans don't buy the game because of that then they might as well say good-bye to the silent hill series. Why should Konami keep making games for a series that doesn't sell.

Shivan4413d ago

It does matter because the western deb made the game worse...............

making profit is all that matters not units sold

Kamikaze1354413d ago

Ignorance

You make it seem like all Western developers are bad. Generally, Western developed games sell much more than games developed in the East. Double Helix are the people to blame.

humbleopinion4413d ago

Silent Hill is developed by Western studios for years. The last Silent Hill actually developed by a Japanese studio was Silent Hill 4 back in 2004, and the series went downhill since the third game anyway, so it's not such a big loss (actually, there is a pretty good chance that the game is better than SH4, even if it doesn't stack up the classic SH2).

Shivan4412d ago

@kami

they really are bad,.......

and no in general they dont sell more nor make more profit. And since when is that a quality criteria? it isnt

@humbleopinion

No offense but after your ridiculous statements in that other thread I cant take you seriously

So your making excuses for the west now? the games suck more because?

humbleopinion4412d ago

I don't say they suck more or less, I say they suck just about just as much as the latest Japanese games in the franchise, after the original developers lost their touch somewhere around the past gen.

And that's the sad thing about it: the western developers hired to these kind of games are mostly B list developers who don't have any proper game in their portfolio - and yet they deliver games of about the same quality as a Japanese studio which once considered the top in the genre.

Don't believe their lies. They are not a reliable source for sales informatino and they pull numbers out of thin air.

360GamerFG4413d ago

Vita, less than 100k per week. . .weak

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing6945m ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker32m ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo22m ago(Edited 20m ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6912m ago(Edited 11m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos6h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto5h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger885h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Infinite Space: The Story Of A Forgotten Space Opera And Sega's Negligence

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.

ZeekQuattro14h ago

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.

CDbiggen10h ago

Felt like I was the only person who bought and played this lol
