There's no "maybe" about it. It was obviously a flop from day 1.

A sequel with Jin would likely have been the best selling game that year

If they came out and said we are starting production on a Ghost 2 game that picks up on Jin’s story based in real life history where they attempted to invade the shogun of Japan and got beat back pretty badly where you have to both fight the mongols and the shoguns forces as he has branded you a traitor it would immediately get immense blind hype.

They could learn from games like phantom blade for a few concepts to introduce into their games, and take the opportunity to make the game/world a little less ubisoftified

Sucker punch for all you can say about them keeps their budgets low. They would likely be able to make the game with a budget of 70mil ranging up to at most 100 million if you needed it because the game would be in Japan meaning a much bigger world most likely.

If they executed it well, in a timely fashion of say 3 years, and launched optimized it would sell over 10 million copies in a week

The Wolverine game that was made 20 years ago flopped pretty bad too.

In theory, its a cool concept but results are results...

I think it's harder to make a memorable Wolverine game as opposed to something like Spiderman. I think you can do it, but you have to work a bit harder with the gameplay mechanics and story.

With Spiderman, really all you have to do is nail down the open world web swinging mechanics. That's it.

The nature of Wolverine lends more to a third person hack and slash of which there are a dime a dozen. How much difference is there really in Wolverine and something like Ryse: Son of Rome?

I played it a looong time ago. Remember enjoying it.

Everyone that streams it seems to enjoy it.

Maybe it just wasn't your kind of game?

Mine is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Movie on Sega Genesis.

Specifically the Sega Genesis version not the SNES version. The Genesis version is a Streets of Rage clone with Ron Wasserman chip tunes.

I just got physical copies of Judgement and Lost Judgement for $20 that Santa is going to give me for Christmas. Hadn't heard of them until I read about them on the store when they were on sale. They sounded cool by the description but it still felt like an impulse buy.

Have you played these? Are they awesome?

I have and they are incredible. Especially if you like the Yakuza series. Be prepared for a very serious and good main story that has crazy and goofy side stories.

They start off awesome, but get really dull in the late game


They just really stretch it out

I didn't even know these were tied to the Yakuza series. I actually haven't played any of those.

Sounds like something I'd enjoy though. Thanks!

They are straight up Yakuza games with a different cast of characters and all the side content having a detective bent.

Honestly I liked Lost Judgement more than Like a Dragon. I haven't finished the first Judgement

The cartoon show and the X-Men movies were great but nobody was asking for a Wolverine game


This had potential. They were going to be more open world but scrapped it.


Plus it's femenazis making these games now.
