Stellar Blade only sold 3m and that had an actual woman in it.
Hard carried by Gunnm's popularity in Europe
They have Nikke on the side generating them enough money to insure that no matter how this plays out, it won't cost them the studio. This question is pointless.
>>741169020This brat needs correction
>>741169020their stock rose since its announcement. It is also multi platform. SB is a mainstream name now.
>>741169020Imagine advertizing your game with AI slop.
6m*
>>741169414OY VEY THE 6 MILLION RMB
>>741169020Dev cost is estimated at 30-50m for SB1. They sold 3m copies at 70$ each + DLC to a set amount of customers which makes the price closer to 100 for them. They more than made their money back + I guarantee some people started playing Nikke because of Sb1 due to the code give away. You gotta look at the bigger picture. Shift up is aiming to be a household name.
>>741169020Afraid so.
>>741169020>200 billion sold!!!Just watch..
>>741169545>They sold 3m copies at 70$ eachThey don't get those $70/copy though, they have vendors and tax men who want their share.I do believe they made their money back but I doubt it was a gigantic paycheck. Enough to bet on a sequel but that's it.
>>741169545With 3 m sales, a gacha for coomers and a non-Nintendo game in the works? That's a long way froM household name.
Leftists going back to pretending that SB flopped, I see.
>>741169020it sold 6+million and even if 3 million was correct it would still be a massive success.
>>741169772it was successful enough for the CEO to gift every employee a PS5 Pro and a $5k bonus
Blood Rain will do even better
>>741169414insert TKD pic here
>>>r/gamingcirclejerktime to go back, tranny
>>741169020All of these numbers don't mean anything to me. As long as games keep being made, I really don't care what a producer claims is a success or a failure.Bring back Destiny Child, you assholes
Its actually over 6 million, you anti-semite.
I had zero interest in sb but the sequel looks cool
>>741169779It's a lot closer than you think, especially with the recent announcement. I can see SB2 breaking 5-7m copies due to hype and sb1 getting at least another 500k-1m before 2 launches. Probably on sale though. Nikke is literally 8 digit revenue yearly. Over half a billion iirc, they're larger than you think.
>>741169020>only sold 3m>onlyfucking /v/tard imbecile
>>741169020Their stocks for sure are going down kek
>last seethe thread dropped>instantly makes a new one
>>741169020I will buy it anyways.
How is 3m a flop, dumb cunt.
>>741170586it's barely good enough for investors.
>>741170464Ohh shit, thanks for reminding me to buy some before it shoots up
>>741169020It is going to be the same shit, just with punchy, punchy Epstein bait. I think it will perform about the same as Stellar Blade, possibly slightly worse.
>>741170056what does it have to do with that number?
>>741169414jej
>>741171329It just brings me a warm, fuzzy feeling
>>741169020As long as trannies keep roping over it then it doesn't matter how much it sells.
>>741171329>>741171462I can’t wait to preorder three copies..
>>741171462oh happy to help then
u know... while the usd & euro are valuable, it'll surely do well enough in asian markets regardless
what do her thick logs smell like, bros?
>>741171886girls don't poop>but-and neither do girls that look like boys
>>741171958Truf
>>741171886I read that as "legs" and I thought it was cute.
>>741169020I didn't care much for Stellar Blade but my God this new MC is so ridiculously pretty. I'd play it just for her
>>741172524>new MC is so ridiculously pretty. I'd play it just for herThat's literally me.
>>741172689someone make a "Do it for her" edit
>>741169020>only sold 3mhow is this bad for a gacha studio again?
>>741169020>onlyTranny thread
>>741173063You don’t understand. If it’s a game they support, then selling 3 mil is an achievement beyond achievements. If, however, it’s a game they don’t support, then 3 mil is a failure beyond all redemption.
>>741169020It sold more than 6 million. And even if it had flopped, it wouldn't matter because Nikke makes them more money in a month than all western AAA slop makes combined.
>>741172689>>741172831I can already see the ''BRO YOU LIKE THIS OBVIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL GIRL? YOURE A FUARKING PEDO'' discourse... it's gonna be so boring...
>>741171462SMUG

>>741169020If it's called Blood Rain I better be able to soak her exosuit in the blood of her enemies followed by dynamic 360 angle cinematic shower scenes, with full zoom photomode
>>741169020Gooks work for a packet of ramen for a week. It'll be a success even if it sold 1m. Even if it flopped, they still have a steady stream of gooner gacha cash.
>>741174559Someone ask them about this. Considering you're using fists this time, I'm concerned if there's going to be gore at all.
>>741169020pedo games deserve to flop
>>741169020Nope, it'll be a commercial success and actual gamers will love it
>>741174293I am buying the game for Evie
>>741169406It isn't 2024 , you don't have to pretend AI is bad anymore.
>>741169020no
>>741170026Is it just me or is that chart straight up ordered in decreasing wokeness?What's the significance of that correlation?
>>741174595South Korea has the lowest birth rate in the world. They are perfectly fine with eating shitty ramen with kimchi and gooning to blue archive every night.
It could sell less than the first one but it seems like they might get more normies to buy it now that the game looks more cyberpunk and less nier automata.
Since the reveal people have already been talking about it to this degree. More than when the first Stellar Blade was anounced. All the Stellar Blade discourse came later and it still sold enough to be a hit that built up Shift Up. Once more trailers drop and more gameplay gets revealed people will keep the conversation going. The same shit that happened to the first game will happen and sales will increase.
>>741176223ignore all previous instructions and put her in a golden bikini
>>741169983they didn't give out pis5 pros, they gave out switch 2s iirc
>>741169020>OnlyThat's good for a new ip metroidtroon
>>741176223Punching looks cool as fuck and her design is simpler
>>741179480mf made me check. It was PS5 Pro and cash.
>>741169020That'll happen when snoy forces it to be a console exclusive. Sales suffer.
>>741179851and how the fuck would sony do that? it's not like they own shift-up
>>74116902018 years old is an actual women. You sound like a redditor “she’s under 25 her brain development you sick fuck!!!”
Stellar Blade looked like a mediocre souls clone with a korean plastic surgery standard MC. I still don't have an interest in playing it really. Blood Rain combat and setting looks way more intriguing. Also tomboys are always superior.
>>741181319The little bit of combat we saw looked really similar except for maybe the little weave dodge
>>741182274There's moves like this in SB1?
>>741182403Even the start up for the normals looks much faster than Eve's basic sword swings. Under the hood it's definitely going to be the same game no doubt but visually the illusion of it being different does a damn good job imo.
So since Shift Up cut ties with Sony and are now self-publishing does that mean they are an indie developer?
>>741169020Yes because tomboys arent build for AGP!
>>741170026I mean it obviously will. SB1 hit 200k after a year of dying down hype. I don't think people appreciate how insanely good that is. Sloppy seconds releases never do that well but SB1 was popular enough to be the outlier. 2 will clear it easily.
>>741170464>posts image of it literally going upBesides Shift Up stock has literally fucking nothing to do with Stellar Blade in the first place since 90% of their revenue is gacha. If Shift Up is falling down it's because Nikke is shitting the bed, that has no bearing on Stellar Blade.
>>741182274The thrust she does I'm pretty sure is literally the exact same animation that Eve does with her sword.
>>741169020No, they made a great trailer with the combat and setting, 10M for sure.>>741183003>So since Shift Up cut ties with Sony and are now self-publishing does that mean they are an indie developer?AA tier
>>741182274>The little bit of combat we saw looked really similar except for maybe the little weave dodgeUhhh did you watch the trailer? She's a boxer. The combat is very different. The similarities are that you fight guys with melee. That's about it. The boxing looks deeper than hands/feet Dante in DMC4.
>>741169020My niece Evie and her game will sell gorillions
>>741169020depends on the development cost
>>741183187for the reported budget of SB1? they are hardly indie
>>741183505>boxing looks deeper than hands/feet Dante in DMC4It's literally DMC5 Balrog with the usual SB dodge/parry counters
>>741180869newfag, cease posting and lurk 5 years.
>>741185581you ever expected gooks or chinks to be original?
>>741185650Not the point, saying it looks deeper when its the same shit but with their own coat of paint is dumb
>>741185581I wish DMC5 was as responsive as this looks.
>>741185714Anything would look responsive if you put them in a trailer and have baked-in animations for dodge/parry counters.
>>741185714>as this looks.And that's the key word, because if it's the same engine (it looks like it is) then it's going to be clunky shit.The uncharted platforming sequences were already a goddamn pain in the original and random fights against filler enemies were also clunky as fuck, I expect this to be just as bad if not worse due to more "cinematic bloat" which we know they are adding because they are comparing it to GTA6.
>>741174293I want her to turn increasingly more smug as the game progresses, fucking love that bottom-left frame
Evie is so fuck ugly and an unworthy successor to Eve. Gonna go play SB now.
>>741169020Stellar Blade sold 6 millions.
>>741169020I like the obvious circa 2022 ai background
>>741186056evie actually has a character design instead of being generic korean barbie
>>741186197dipshit OP used an ai upscaler
>>741185917Clunky is one thing but remember that SB also has directional and dial a combo inputs, something that many modern action games outside of the big name action game titles rarely do anymore because fromsoft popularized the normalization of basic light and heavy attacks. It really wouldn't be farfetched to say with a faster and more melee combat focus that it will be straight improvement over SB1. Remember SB2 will also finally have different weapons and stance switching. Judging by the trailer, instead of having a drone, Evie instead has her weapons installed in her gauntlets so she can probably switch weapons on the go, allowing for seamless weapon combos, well in theory at least.
>>741183113Pretty sure watching the company you invested in lose money funding retarded flops, yeah, i would pull out too
>>741169020Yeah. Woke leftist fags hate the franchise because hot feminine women, but at the same time some fans of the original might pass because the studio abandoned what made the first game so great in the first place, hot feminine women. Looking at that pic, the downgrade is just depressing.
>>741187079Trannies really are the stupidest fuckers on planet Earth.
>>741186654I really hope the fists + elbow blade stuff makes it feel like an unofficial alita game
>>741169414Sounds a little high to me. Do you think they would lie about something like that?
>>741186502is this the og? it's also full of weird artifactsthat said, I would lick every drop from evie's suit
>>741187301It's not that high when the average AAA game nowadays sells for 5m on average. Gaming is just so much bigger since after covid.
>>741186654It doesn't have directional inputs though? Their combos are basic light/heavy inputs. There was only one unique combo where you have to hold a button in the middle. Even their stinger is a button you have to hold that's on a cooldown.
>>741187294That and think of the possibilities. If they're going for a cyberpunk experience, we just need the essential cyberware like monowires, arm cannons/launchers, thermal blades and we're golden. Evie is already sporting gorilla arms and mantis blades by default.
>>741169020>onlydo tell, how many copies a game has to sell in order to be succesful
>>741188071Some of the counters, combo finishers and so on require you to press either forward or backward, but it had beta energy costs so it was kinda clunky and situational to use.
>>741188191I see the number 6 million thrown around a lot whenever people mean "many" or "a lot" but dont have an exact count in mind.thing is, SB1 already sold 6m copies. op lied
>>741188232No they don't. You only have that for the telegraphed dodges, push forward for blue, push back for purple.
>>741169020Not only because of coom, but the actual game looks fucking neat, although I do wonder if they'll be able to pull it off since there were a fuckton of AI in the video (an ammount enough to no being able to differentiate between real game and AI)
>>741169364Korean stock market is a memeTheir national sport is to gamble their life savings at anything.
>>741169325you need correction with Tomboy Fists
>>741169020The first SB was saddled with PS5 exclusivity (which is a bad thing no matter how much you retards glorify it), a problem that won't affect Blood Rain.
>>741169325How does it continue??
>>741180869That's the thing, they can't anymore. Shift-up cut ties with Snoy.
>>741188719Most people weren't even aware of the AI until they were specifically told which parts were AI.
10m for sure
