that's pretty bad, failing to recoup development costs in a week constitutes as a flop. IOI is finished.
Careful, you'll get the jeet shills in here insisting "Bond is back!" and posting the same screenshots of a hag in a bikini over and over.
>>740255334I've never seen a Bond movie.
>>740255334>Bail Bond agent.Gaming journalism is fucking dead.
Are the license costs included in their development budget or is that a separate thing?
>>740255334>Wesley Yin-Poole
why does this board get off on negativity?
>>740256642
>>740255334Yeah it's bizzare that they sell games only for a week
They're desperate to give the impression this game will break even (which still isn't a financial success).
>>740256642>hate people that hate usseems like a healthy and natural reaction to me
>>740255334>another redditera seethe threadI though you moved on to Mina as the newest target?
>>740256650well that explains it
>>740256707You know 007 isnt getting a sequel right? Lmao
>>740256642Just tourists who took "/v/ hates everything" way too seriously without even trying to understand what anons don't likeCase in point >>740256775Now watch as "he" feigns ignorance just as "he" was told to.
>>740255334>$202 million budgetWot? I thought this was like 20 million dollar game.
>>740255334I don't think sales even matter at this point, considering MGM/Amazon now completely own the rights to 007. IOI will probably go back to Hitman. At least we got a good 007 game out of it.
>>740256950feelsbadman
>>740256829Amazon's already come out saying they want to do the next Bond games in house and they already went into damage control mode when people took that as they don't want to work with IOI anymore.
>>740256950A game making it's money back doesn't matter?
>>740257219yes everyone knows thathis point was that anon was being a faggot about it
>>740257280not to me
>>740257280why do you care?
>>740256950>At least we got a good 007 game out of ittrue I guess
>>740257280it doesn't matter in the sense that we're not getting a sequel from IOI, even if it sells well.
>>740256775I also know that yacht cuck games will be closing down soon and they'll be homeless in their leftycuck dystopia they love so much
>>740256601/thread
>>740256935Movie game ends up with Movie level production costs. It's not just a dev team of 20-50 people working for a couple of years but probably 1000+ people involved all up.There's 108 credited actors for instance.
>>740255334At this point you are just shitposting right?Or are you listening to that Russian ragebaiting youtuber (Qwazar or whatever) that spins every news as a "total flop for woke Bond, IOI is finished"?
>>740255334It's not a Sony game, so it doesn't sell 90% of its lifetime in the first week.
>>740256642it's not just this board sadlyi see it all over youtube as well
>>740255334I really do not believe a game that hasn't managd to reach 100k peak has sold 2M copies but sure, whatever
>>740255549They're fun. Bond splits his time getting into crazy situations and then getting out of them and being sauve.
>>740257972Concurrent players is an exceptionally poor way to judge total sales, always has been.
>>740256650that post is retarded and more than likely made by a nigger
>YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR MONEY BACK IN ONE WEEK!!!Why are you a dumbass? Games are available for sale for years
>>740258174truth hurts huh?
>>740258174>sees himself in the second paragraph>chimps out
>>740256935It took a few years to develop + lots of actors + licensing costs + IOI builds & maintains their own game engine
>>740258178Shut up, shill
>>740255334So they'll blame hypervisor right?
>>740257959more like all over the internet
>>740255334GTA 5 is a flop I guess
>>740256650Holy truthnuke. /v/ is so fucking shit nowadays.
>>740255334nah on some previous thread when it reached 1.5mio there was a link saying they were expecting 200mio from december 2005 to december 2006 including their other gamesseems like they'll easily make it now
>>740258349Not an argument
>>740257972This is a movieslop game, the console playerbase was always guaranteed to be much larger than Steam's.Think of it this way:>Marathon is a sweaty extraction shooter (heavy PC bias, 70% of sales were on Steam)>had a peak Steam CCU of 88k>sold an estimated 1.2m around launch across all platforms>007 is movieslop (33% of sales on Steam)>had a peak Steam CCU of 71k>sold an estimated 2.2m around launch across all platforms
>>740256642Why do shills get so upset about people calling a spade a spade?I'd love a fun Bond game. What did I get instead? A crap Hitman spinoff without any of the things that made Hitman fun.
>>740256950>At least we got a good 007 game out of it.where?
it's hilarious that if you're even remotely positive even if you think the game is mediocre you're inmedo labeled a shillthis is why actual discussion is impossible on nu-/v/>>740260259
>>740260259epic.epic for the win!everything bad hehe!
>>740260249shitposters don't even try anymore
>>740260764>>740260970>>740261029Woke movie games don't belong in /v/. Simple as. Feel free to go back to your safespace.
>alinea analytics
>>740261179now post a pic of how you look in real life
>>740255334Why exactly do video games have to sell millions upon release, it's not like they follow cinema rules where they have a certain limited time window to sell movie tickets and that's where studios make most of their profits from. Video games shouldn't be beholden to this law.
>>740261179holy fuck this just proves this >>740256650 to be 100% trueyou are a clown
>>740261418Tell that to Concord's snapped neck
>>740261486Thinking about it Ass Creed Shadows also "sold millions" didn't it? Still ended up sinking Ubisoft.
>>740255334Breddy gud compared to american games recently
>>740261549it had gorillion players
>>740256642Millennials remember when good things were still being made, so when we see garbage being shilled we tend to react negatively.Zoomers are just generally extremely fucking angry and terminally-online, so they're always looking for shit to get angry at.Personally, I think the game is just TEMU Uncharted, it's shit that got old a decade ago and that dadgamers are going to jerk off because it's one of the 3 games they've been able to find time to play on the weekend over the last 5 years when they're not working 60 hour weeks to make up for all of their crippling debt.
>>740258178That only works for games with legs.AAA cinematic games tend to have horrible legs, since the only appeal is the spectacle setpieces.
>>740256650got the browns seething with this truth nuke
>>740261418It's about making investors quick bucks now, rather then making continuous income.
>>740261802I saw recently a report that Sony's first party title sales have sunked. All of them are pretty similar to this.
>>740258252yeah, look how it got you mad that some newfag got called out for being a retarded nigger>>740258298>sees himself in my post>chimps out like the nigger he isfigures
>>740256642>you gotta love my shit game by default!!!go back to X (formerly known as twitter) new dude
>>740262149this is basically Xitterdo you not see the catalog?
>>740256642It's actually simpler than that. /v/ just assumed by default that the game is going to be wokeslop and build a whole narrative around it. Then the game turned out not to be a wokeslop, but /v/ would never admit they are wrong, so they are doubling down on the hate. This just makes them look more retarded by proxy.
>>740261418>Video games shouldn't be beholden to this law.They are and will be when every game company takes money from private equity.Europoors don't like being reminded of how much of their industry is propped up by private equity despite LARPing as "privately owned," but it's an unfortunate reality.
>>740256642TORtanic
I miss when trolling was a art.Now it's just discord chimps spamming shill in every single thread made that isn't gachashit.Anyway, enjoyed this game way more than I thought I would. Makes me want a new good Uncharted, which is sadly never happening.
>>740255334THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MARKETING>THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MARKETINGTHAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MARKETING>THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MARKETINGSo likely $350 million, easy
>>740256642Modern video games are shit. My wish for them to flop will continue until overall game quality improves.
>>740262248>heh we toned it down slightly so that means it's not woke now!Classic jeet dishonesty.
>>740261976I think that type of game has died out with good reason.I don't think the market for those games is anywhere near what it was even just 6 years ago.We've seen these games do everything they're ever going to do, so if you've played one in the last 15 years, you've pretty much played them all.
>>740262637>ill just add 200 million to itlmao
>>740261418>normalize taking nearly a decade on the money-drip to develop a game at this point>"uhh just wait 5 years more, and then its profitable!.. probably" Yeah investors will sure love that, kek.
>>740262206you are right, post like yours and that other faggot are basically from X >blud y they gotta h8 and be negativ* bout my turd game :skullemoji:kindly kill yourself so we can make /v/ a better place
>>740263384make it a better place by only having posts shitting on games because muh woke?you know you don't have to like this movieslop but you don't have to constantly make threads to shit on it either
>>740263961>S-Stop talking about my game if you're not going to say anything nice!You're on the wrong site, little buddy.
>>740256438Now that you mention it, I wonder how much the licensing fees are...I know it's a free market but surely it can't be more than 10% of the development cost just to be able to use the name "James Bond" in your game.
>>740262637I don't think vidya operates under the same bookkeeping procedures as movie studios. It's still software at the end of the day, they likely work by software company standards.And I certainly don't think you can use the "add 50-100%" rule for video games. Although these days with how bloated the industry has gotten I'm not so sure.
>>740256650>waahhh wahhhh brown peoplegrow up
>>740264058nah this is xitter now, chud
>>740256642Why do you get off on white-knighting evil corporations?
>>740256642Why do you get off on your own race's genocide?
I can see this one having long legs, it's not dependent on inducing fomo to be a success. It's getting positive attention, it'll be wishlist and wait on a sale bait game.
>>740257713Yeah and the games content is rather anemic compared to something like Crimson Desert which scrapped most of its original story for pure gameplay. That game cost 133 million.
>>740256650>Actual discussion about videogamesCrying over the new design of Lara Croft is as discussion as /a/ crying over Code Geass.Just ESL fags tribalfagging as white guys.
