>make your game stylish as fuck
>it flops catastrophically

What a sad world we live in where making a unique and expressive game is punished
>>
Only two games here are actually unique and expressive
>>
proofs that a single one of those flopped catastrophically?
>>

They're not staple series for their devs, at best they try to bring them back 15+ years later hoping to cash in on nostalgia, profitable games don't go away

Many such cases
>>
To me, the visual design of Viewtiful Joe is its least appealing factor. I love the gameplay but i fucking hate how it looks
>>
Sunset Overdrive, Hi-Fi Rush, Anarchy Reigns... it checks out.

I dunno, they all got sequels.
>>
>>743835841
Parappa got many sequels tho, and merch sold pretty well in Japan I'm sure of that, it even got an anime adaptation
>>
I really don't care about the commercial performance of games if they're actually good. I will lament the lack of a sequel at times, but I'll also be happy that the game happened at all.
>>
Parappa had 3 games and 2 spin offs and a cameo in PS All Stars ;)
>>
>>743835841
I swear I saw this exact thread before.
>>
I don't recall Killer7 tanking Sude51's career.
>>
>>743836961
This game isn't really that unique and it also didn't flop
>>
>>743836961
>pick a laner
The mark of a garbage 3d paltformer.
>>
>>743835841
Viewtiful Joe got 2 additional games and a tv cartoon and a roster spot in 2 capcom fighting games and a crossover with devil may cry

It didn’t flop at all
>>
even DMC got a kid friendly cartoon on Fox.
>>
>>743836384
Kamiya said Viewtiful Joe failed to meet sales but because it was so cheap to make it did make a tiny profit.
>>
>>743835841
It's a risky venture for both the developer and the consumer. It doesn't always turn out well and it's hard to know why it's good without trying it for yourself, like telling someone with no knowledge of WarioWare that it's a bunch of 3 second long minigames.
>>
>>743836961
Using other people's style doesn't count
>>
>>743835841
Because gameplay is what matters and those games are shit.
>>
>>743835841
Maybe stop making urban slop.
>>

>gameplay is what matters
Pleb opinion
>>
>>743835841
Parappa did well enough. The rest had zero marketing.
>>
>>743836961
Chinese knockoff isn't unique
