Kombo: Speaking to VentureBeat at E3, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder admitted that BioShock 2 wasn't "hugely successful."
"It was ultimately successful, but not hugely successful," he said. "We are also looking forward to other hits coming this year."
But he's still firm that physical games aren't going away.
One high end console has always been a benefit. The other is no longer a necessity.
Only competition there ever was, was when one launched a year to a year and a half early. Based on this generation, the other would have to launch 2 to 4 years early just to compete. Because buying a huge part of the industry, having a multiple game sleep mode, cheaper in price, smaller form factor, supposedly having better BC and a day one subscription service, has still resulted in another huge ass kicking.
Yay for physical Take Two.
I wouldn't really call it competing when a company is dead last in sales when compared to the rival company. I will always stick around for physical copies of games. Moment games go all digital is the day I bring the SNES and Genesis out of hibernation and just stick to retro.
Take-Two announced its financial results for Q3 of the fiscal year on top of an update to sales figures of Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more.
So 2.47% of the global population have a copy of gta v no wonder they don't want to release vi there's still so many people who haven't brought v
Obvious sarcasm here
To think that 5mil sold is considered a huge success for any game in general, and 10 is amazing. I cannot believe people are still buying this.
I keep saying that’s why the 7th generation was the most loved because of gta5 and Skyrim.
Well hopefully millions went to gta 6 singleplayer mode to make it extra epic but knowing rockstar nowadays there won't be a full support for singleplayer, mainly online will be the focus i bet but I hope atleast theres plenty to do in the open world and not just look good with little to nothing to do, after gta 6 ain no tellin when we will get another rockstar title even tho the mfs sucked in millions from red dead 2 as well I miss when we got more than 1 game a gen from them they always delivered, so many key staff members left not even just the well known names
Forbes writes: "While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two."
Lmao how greedy can they get, sit on piles of cash and still want more. Then they have the cheek to release half assed remasters.
Due to this statement I am going to wait and buy GTA 6 when it is at 20 bucks. Its not like there are not more than enough other good games to play.
I dont agree with him as far as sentiment but I do buy my games like that. I'll pay full price for rpgs but not a shorter game unless it's an uncharted or last of us type game(not just those literally) I'm more inclined to pay full price for a dragon quest games instead of a Alan wake or something to that extent.
It didn't do that poorly. It was a stretch to return to rapture after the first game though.
Maybe you shouldn't have made one? You know like just left the original to simmer and collect more ideas before releasing a sequel for me it seemed to soon.
and the games is
super hyped
super repetitve
bad arcade controls
not scary
fells old gen
plus you have so many guns features but you cant use the
becase you are limitated, why to put a limit to the only fun part of the game?
its not hardcore the limitations in this game are is silly and take away the fun.
once im done i will trade it ar craiglist
and belive me i cant wait to trade it.
xbox fans overhype this pc arcade repetitve game.
I guess I was the only one who thought the 2nd game was as good as the 1st if not better.
I didn't think the 1st game deserved such high scores, but still liked both games.
it reminds me to bioshok but rage looks like a real next gen game and it look fun
