The Japanese publisher expects big numbers from Ninja Theory's reboot.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
Ninja Theory might have games in the pipeline, but that doesn't mean Xbox won't close it for no reason
Alot of speculation on their part. Ninja Theory has two games that have been green lighted and are in the works. Yes it’s always a possibility they could be closed but no matter how you feel about the Senua games. They do make a quality game. I personally think MS is going lay low for a bit, after the firestorm they experienced last week.
It's not for no reason.
The reason is they made two games that were underwhelming (Bleeding Edge) and didn't/aren't going to grow the user base for game pass.
They spent 5-7 years and this was what they produced, it's easy to see how they would be on the short list for termination at this point.
Apparently Ninja Theory is safe From being closed down https://www.gamespot.com/ar...
Already working on a new game. They are a 80 person team and relatively inexpensive I suppose to any other publisher
Buuuuut.
Yeaah sorry this is MS, I don't believe anything MS says. They have to be joking if they think anyone will believe them besides gullible Xbox fanboys. Once again MS needs to earn my trust back. Just when they earn some trust back, they always seem to destroy it and have to work to get it back. I still think they're getting shut down and canceling whatever game they're making because the game won't sell, again MS fault for not advertising it.. This company man...
I don't see Microsoft shutting off the lights to Ninja Theory. As a studio they actually have talent and have released some decent games. I love Enslaved maybe a sleeper hit but it's one of my favorites. Only way I see Microsoft shutting off the lights is if Ninja Theory releases games that sink faster then a lead weight. And there are fans of Ninja Theory one thing I would hate to see is Ninja Theory ending up like Bioware. Loosing all their talent and being a former shell of what they use to be.
It was just announced that MS gave NT the greenlight for its next game. I just hope it's not another Hellblade. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/...
Ninja Theory's latest trailer for their highly anticipated narrative action-adventure Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is absolute cinema.
Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.
badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.
LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.
It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.
5 million from the reboot? *holds in laughter*
yeah and i want the golden egg laying goose....
Then they better change that K.D. Lang looking Dante.
they're definitely going to attract some of those unfamiliar to DMC. then again i love dmc 1+3 and didn't purchase 4. definitely going to purchase this one though. oh yeah in case you didn't notice i'm one of the few that like the updated dante but i also love dmc3's dante.
Capcom's logic:
Ignore fanbase.
Ignore people who liked the game and supported it.
Expect 5 million sales from said reboot that screws fans.
...Seriously. And then they cry "Everyone's making crappy gaems and liek we want moar sales and liek yeah".
What action game HAS cleared that number? GOW3 is coming close, but even that only did like 3 or 4 million.
