700k? Thats better than Alan Wake. Why cancel sequel?

DelbertGrady5022d ago

The sales are spread out on 3 platforms though. I really wanted Alpha Protocol to be good.

mjolliffe5022d ago

Yeah, they're spread over 3 platforms. Still a shame they decided not to do a sequel though; the franchise had real potential.

Christopher5022d ago

The saddest thing was that Alpha Protocol for the PC was the worst of them all due to controls.

I wouldn't mind a sequel to Alpha Protocol if they ditched the lead designer/producer who decided to screw with all the mechanics.

Who in the world would buy Iron Man 2? I assume as Iron Man fans they played the first one and saw how horrible it was. What made them want more?

Baka-akaB5022d ago

easy it's always the same with movie-tie ins .

Grandson loved the movie and is even annoying about it . Grandma wanna give him a gift , one of those silly videogames she knows nothing about .
She met a gamestop clerks , wich convince her than if her grandson loves shooting things and loved the movie , he will love the game .

Cerberus21255022d ago

So,why don't you have a talk with your grandmother about Video games,school her,there is nothing wrong with the elders learning from the youngsters.

RockmanII75022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

Everything's better when your a Kid, he might not even know that the game is bad.

Off topic, but your story reminded me of my grandma. One day she bought a Sega Genesis and Mortal Kombat for us to play when we came over (She wasn't aware of how brutal the game was). Mortal Kombat grandma > Iron Man 2 grandma

fatstarr5021d ago

I have a feeling that our generation of kids wont have that problem.

"Dad can i have Iron man 2 the videogame"
DAD: *smacks kid* pick a better game.

Baka-akaB5022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

it's an example , it's completely unrelated to me , and that's just the reality of the situation . Besides we are talking about regular kids and parents who dont always have the nose stuck upon even the overrated metacritic .

Some game sells regardless of being crap (and we dont speak about overrated games , stuff with ok to average reviews score , but absolute pure crap) , especially the ones based on licences , because it's aimed target doesnt know better or try to know better .

If not , movie tie-in and many games based on licences would have gone extinct a long time ago ... they are actually usually the big million sellers and successes we never hear or talk about

Alos885022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

In a better reality those sales numbers would have been reversed, Iron Man 2 was a shiny metallic turd that barely even featured the main antagonist as a boss, and Alpha Protocol was never meant to be "Mass Effect with spies" like everyone assumed.

RememberThe3575022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

My friend bought Alpha Protocol and said he immediately regraded it. He said, like others, that the game had potential, but that they made some wired design decisions.

Alos885022d ago

It was a good rental, but I can see someone hating it as a purchase, it wasn't perfect.
Iron Man 2 just flat out sucked though.

VINNIEPAZ5022d ago

Depends on ya style of gaming I guess. My girl loved the game. She really likes story in her games. The game play wasn't the best but wasn't broken either.

Alos885022d ago

The best part for me was the way the choices you made had a real impact on gameplay.

RememberThe3575022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

He said the story and the dialog was really good, but that the gameplay got too fantastical, and would have been much better served grounded in reality.

Man In Black5022d ago

So much replayability, and the gameplay is great. Sure, there's bugs and glitches, and the graphics and animation are sub-standard, but I've had a lot of fun with it.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga66d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics66d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend65d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long66d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons66d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor66d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5265d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60265d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor66d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1035d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1034d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1034d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1034d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1034d ago (Edited 1034d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
