SEGA expecting strong sales for The Incredible Hulk

PSU writes: "SEGA has said that the publisher is expecting its upcoming movie tie-in The Incredible Hulk to turn in a solid performance when the game hits shelves this summer.

Speaking to MCV, Ben Payne, Product Manager for SEGA UK, commented: "The Incredible Hulk is Marvel's second biggest property, so awareness of the character is high. As usual, the success of any film tie-in video game is linked to the film itself."

"Thankfully this film is going to be massive, and is well timed, in that it gives Indy IV its deserved moment in the spotlight, and is released two weeks before Prince Caspian."

I guess everyone can dream a lot :D. In other words; it won't ever happen.

The Genius said it.

I don't know, they predicted well with Mario and Sonic Olympics, then again, mario was in it.

ItsDubC5852d ago

I laughed and doubted when Sega said that Mario and Sonic at the Olympics would sell millions, and I totally ate my words. I've since refrained from making such pessimistic predictions lol. I will not be surprised if this title sells extremely well.

You have to shake the wiimote like an retard to keep the bugs from not getting stuck in the paint.

Seriously, everything with mario sells like cupcakes..

Actually I'm such a big kid I can't wait for this to arrive. The movie looks to be better/faster paced than it's predecessor and so far looks amazing. The vidgame is looking pretty good too. People complain about the environment's lack of detail but, come on, you're just gonna destroy it anyway 8D

I might not buy this day one but I'll definitely add this title unless it consistently gets scores from valid sites below 7, but come on it's basically gonna be like playing in a sandbox with an A-bomb

The HULK will smash the box office next weekend

Pornlord5852d ago

I'm not convinced it will sell, the movie will do fine. Especially with the success of Iron man, but the same goes for the Video game... Iron man was a FAIL, and it worries me about the hulk.

Looking back at 10 years of… The Incredible Hulk

James writes - "Last month I ventured into the debatable legacy left by the Iron Man video game, which coincided with the monumental launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not long after, the big green angry member of the Avengers received his own video game in tandem with a blockbuster film. Now, ten years on, it’s time to look back at SEGA’s The Incredible Hulk to find out if he lived up to the ‘Incredible’ moniker!"

hulk: ultimate destruction was and is the best hulk game till this day. maybe insomniac can work on hulk after spidey? I wish

P_Bomb2184d ago

Agreed. I still throw it on now and again. Huge comic book gallery in there. Those are the kinda collectibles I enjoyed collecting. Practical things you can look at later, not just orbs/shards/feathers.

That game desperately needs to be apart of the OG Xbox BC line up

All I want is a gory Marvel game. Maybe a Marvel Civil War RPG.

But blood and gore like X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

VINNIEPAZ4069d ago

Loved the hell outta Ultimate Destruction. So fun to run around and destroy things.

Gaming1014069d ago

The team who made Ultimate Destruction are too busy making those Prototype games which... haven't really worked to reel people in the way the Hulk did.
One thing you will never see is a gory Marvel game that doesn't fit the character or the comics. It's because of the target audience being so young, some parents actually monitor what their kids play and so your sales will drop if you make an M rated superhero game. Wolverine's Origins game was great fun, but it was awkward taking your kids to the PG movie, only for them to not be old enough to play the game when they got home.

@VINNIEPAZ

I'm the minority, but I would love a sequel to Marvel Nemesis: Rise of The Imperfects.

Calahad4069d ago

As am I. I loved the the presentation.

Serjikal_Strike4069d ago

I thought the studio that made the hulk games closed?
I know there's others out there that can do a new one..
It would be nice... Also a new prototype would be cool too
