CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com talks about how Red Steel 2 may not be selling very well from an observation, when compared to how The Conduit was doing before/after it released.
Phil writes, "Too often we see video game sequels that don't quite live up to their predecessors... but we already have an article series dedicated to those games. Instead, let's take a look at those video game sequels that not only live up to their predecessors but greatly surpass them in quality. It's time to bring back The Most Improved Video Game Sequels (you can read part one here) to check out these sensational sequels that delivered and did so in a deliciously delightful manner."
Resident Evil 4
Ratchet & Clank 2
Silent Hill 2
Street fighter 2
Castlevania: Symphony of the night
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid (not first game in the series)
Tekken 3
God of War (2018)
Mortal Kombat 9
Devil May Cry 3
Virtua Fighter 4
Luigis Mansion 3 doesn’t really belong in that list because the first game was great and it’s sequels didn’t really redefine the series.
There’s more to Ubisoft’s back catalogue than its Templar-bothering flagship franchise and we’re here to prove it. By grovelling for remasters, of course.
With the Switch bringing interest back into the realm of motion controls, it seems as good a time as any to dip back into the backlog and retrieve some lucrative nuggets from the one that launched the phenomenon in the first place: the Nintendo Wii.
Do you think RS2 will sell more copies than The Conduit, or fewer?
Or about the same?
I really don't know at this point.
If you've played Red Steel 2 though, what do you think of it?
wait the game is out already?
i had no idea
I think the game will sell more than TCon but nowhere near the original, it has a bigger natural draw with the swordfighting and I've seen some people who normally aren't interested in Wii titles express and interest in it.
I think it'll break a mil. I know, that sounds ridiculous...but it's kind of a gut feeling.
Either way, I'm getting it (didn't get Conduit), and from the reviews it sounds like I'm gonna enjoy it. xD
Did you see BestBuy's site was backordered of the game?
