CrashMania14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Loved Crash 4, that's more than I thought, I had a feeling that releasing at full price, right before current systems was a bad move, so 5 million is pretty good. I shudder to think how poor Rumble sold though.

Spyro apparently at 10 million, would be interesting seeing the platform split for these.

-Foxtrot14d ago

Oh look at that, and people were trying to say it was a flop.

We need more 3D platformers

Sony should bring Jak and Daxter back, Ubisoft with Rayman 4 and maybe Microsoft can work something out with Playtonic to do Banjo-Kazooie since most of the ex Rare members are there.

neutralgamer199214d ago

Jak and Dexter along with sly. I would love even remakes man since Sony now a days don’t want to take chances of smaller single player games it seems

@fox: “Oh look at that, and people were trying to say it was a flop.”
Correct me if I’m wrong this was released in 2020 for all major platforms except for mobile as far as I can remember and PC a year later, and only sold 5 millions copies in 4 years?
Yes I would consider it a flop I seen games on PlayStation and Xbox sale 2 millions in a year and be called a flop.

Asplundh14d ago

It doesn't matter how many platforms it's on or how long it took to get there, 5 million sales is a great number period.

1Victor13d ago

So where’s crash 5 ?
It’s been 4 years and nothing and it’ll be another 6+ if lucky.
I love the franchise and was one of the few ones that purchased 4 but I didn’t like it, it felt empty and no fun.
Remember activision/ Microsoft is all about the money if a franchise don’t perform it gets shelved no matter what we think or want.

0hMyGandhi13d ago

@Asplundh,Victor isn't wrong, though.
5 million *is* a great number. But it took awhile to get there...And it was on PS4,XB1,PS5,XBX,PC and Switch. Movies and music will often gauge the commercial success of their respective products by "first week" sales and usually the first two weeks of a theatrical run. Shawshank Redemption, widely considered one of the best movies of all time earned only 16 million during it's theatrical run, against a 25 million dollar budget.

Most AAA games need to sell roughly 1.5 - 2 million copies to just break even these days. I tried to look up what this game's budget was, and couldn't find much.

I should state that I adore platformers. Love these games, love Jak and Daxter, Love the Sly games etc...But this wasn't exactly vindication for the sub-genre. I hope they were able to turn a profit and I wish more of these games were made.

Wretchedstain13d ago

Or go back a bit further...

An updated Commander Keen, Jill of the Jungle, Crystal Caves, Bio Menace, or Jazz Jackrabbit would be pretty cool.

Skuletor13d ago

Hocus Pocus, Halloween Harry, Monster Bash, Xargon OG Duke Nukems
Remember when Bethesda announced a new Commander Keen for mobile at E3 2019 with an animated trailer?

Jill of the Jungle being from Epic Games is funny to me.

ocelot0713d ago

Is flop the word of the month or something. Every time I come here lately all I seem to read is this games a flop that games a flop your a flop I have a floppy flipity flipity flop.

I don't keep up with final fantasy but apparently one of the new ones it's a flop for selling 2+ million in a few months on a single platform.

Now crash is a flop? Yes it releases on all platforms but in this day and age 4 million in 4 years seems fine by me.

"Congratulations Microsoft"
😂

CrashMania13d ago

Yeah, very low quality bait when Xbox probably accounted for 10% or less of those sales.

Inverno14d ago

Platformers never died out, THQ just flooded the market with licensed crap and the industry shifted to copying COD cause gaming was "maturing".

Profchaos14d ago

Exactly gamers grew up mature games took off but many players who grew up on the nes, she's even Mario 64 are having kids and introducing them to platformers again so I can see a renewed interest in the genre.

andy8514d ago

Platinum for this killed me. Ended up quitting it 🤣 one of my only failures

S2Killinit29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I would be on it. Especially if they change up the gameplay to differentiate from first game. Loved the first.

Currently enjoying Rise of Ronin.

blackblades28d ago

Both have different gameplay but it amazes me how people kept comparing just because they both are samurai. Seems kinda ...... that im not gonna mention.

Cacabunga28d ago

Bend studios making a gaas game and getting lot of negative comments abt that direction.
I hope these stay faithful to making amazing SP games..

Demetrius28d ago

Definitely getting ronin soon, I'm on my 2nd playthrough of GOT on ps5 this time🔥

-Foxtrot29d ago

Probably my most anticipated to be announced

I hope Jinns story continues and we get way more stealth tactics like dragging bodies away and the like.

Lightning7729d ago

I fully expect this game to be announced. Late 2025 release perhaps.

Either way I can't wait for its announcement at Sony's showcase.

Friendlygamer28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I'm hoping for more complex interior level design for stealth gameplay and also a more complex stance system that's more than rock paper and scissor for each enemy type

RhinoGamer8828d ago

I have stopped pre-ordering games since Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco...this is a game I will make an exception for...

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games all time. Hard to live up to that. Not all games are going to be equivalent to some of the best games ever and that’s ok. It is a natural comparison though

Killer2020UK29d ago

Totally agree, as a jaded gamer well into his 30s I didn't think games could hit like Ghost it Tsushima did. I actively avoided story missions in order to pursue every single side quest purely because I didn't want it to end. I wanted to be immersed in that world for as long as it lasted.

JangoMan27d ago

I hate open world games. Its clutter and fatigue. Except GoT.. I completed every thing before going into next main mission. The feeling of playing the game was.... I cant explain. It was perfect

raWfodog29d ago

My favorite jaw-dropping moment was obtaining the Ghost stance. Epic.

JangoMan27d ago

Agreed. Its the dream come true for fans of Samurai and Japan feudal age.

Andrew33629d ago

Got was good but super repetitive.

Juiceid29d ago

Arguably every game is repetitive.
