Major Nelson.. hmmm

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Right, but the front is relative, no? For PS4 exclusive/primary users (of whom I gather there's quite a few), it'd be a new game, wouldn't it?

Should i consider RoTR a new game when it comes to PS4?

 

[chubigans]

How was the online community damaged by the staggered release?

I believe it sold way less on PS4/PC, but I can't remember if that was a cream leak or how I remember that.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Should i consider RoTR a new game when it comes to PS4?

If you don't regard any other platform it releases on as viable, then... yeah, pretty much. Unless there's some sort of weird thing where it's "soiled" because other people got it first, I can't see why not.

 

[jesu]

Worst teaser ever.

 

[Z3M0G]

Don't really think I care for a sequel... first one still has so much potential for growth...

 

[Hanmik]

Worst teaser ever.

it´s a parody.. of a Call of Duty reveal trailer..

Modern Warfare 2..

 

[Protome]

Actual sold, or people size of community? Because the game was free on PS4 at launch so I imagine it did pretty great overall. I've certainly never struggled to find a full game.

 

[MisterR]

Really enjoyed this on both X1 and then on PS4. Hopefully it releases at a time where it gets more attention



How was the online community damaged by the staggered release?

It sold like shit on the PS4 due to being a late port.

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

Timed exclusive again?

Please no! One of the best games I played last year and would really hope this to at least launch on PS4 the same time. It not in concrete so far, hopefully Microsoft just have the marketing rights. But if it happens to be a timed exclusive, I would recommend every XboxOne or PC owner to buy it, well at least if it's as good as the first one.

Great audio in the teaser, however. Is it a nod to Battlefronts amazing sound or just a tease for what new game modes and classes there is to come with the new one?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Oh God, please don't be an Xbox timed exclusive again.

absolutely it will be-

EA ACCESS rearing its ugly head

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Ok. If your logic works then SE shouldn't worry about PS4 RoTR sale i guess

Wait...was it free? I don't think it was free. I remember preordering my copy on PS4.

 

[Chobel]

Right, but the front is relative, no? For PS4 exclusive/primary users (of whom I gather there's quite a few), it'd be a new game, wouldn't it?

Yes, but the buzz (and marketing) around the game will be gone by the time it's gonna be released in PS4. So less people know about it = less sales.

Of course this could change if EA launch another marketing campaign when the game launches in PS4, but I really doubt it.

 

[Super_Cobra]

I highly doubt it will even be a timed exclusive. Specially when most 3rd party games have been selling the most on ps4. I got it for free during psx and I really liked garden warfare. Can't wait for the second one.

 

[MisterR]

Late ports always sell like shit on consoles. The initial hype is gone by the time it releases and most people have moved on with new games coming out. They just seem like yesterday's news.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Why would coming out later result in the game being a bomb? Lots of games have gotten late PC releases to great success (Alan Wake, Valkyria Chronicles, etc.) Not sure why it'd be any different for PS4, unless there's some sort of fanbase-wide "bite my nose to spite my face" thing going on.

Isn't that the "Nintendo excuse"? The game bombed because it was released later then other versions. Don't see why it can't be used for PS4 as well.

 

[Protome]

Wait...was it free? I don't think it was free. I remember preordering my copy on PS4.

My mistake, it wasn't free at launch. It was free during the Playstation Experience.

 

[MisterR]

It wasn't free at launch. It was later given away from at PSX. After it sold like shit on PS4.

 

[foxbeldin]

Oh God, please don't be an Xbox timed exclusive again.

This. I feel like the delay on PS4 killed a lot of possible hype for the first one.

 

[sam777]

EA ACCESS rearing its ugly head

It is nothing to do with EA access.

 

[chubigans]

My mistake, it wasn't free at launch. It was free during the Playstation Experience.

Ah. Yeah I never had any problems finding matches either, it just sucked that there wasn't a bigger community following the game once PS4/PC versions were released.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Yes, but the buzz (and marketing) around the game will be gone by the time it's gonna be released in PS4. So less people know about it = less sales.

This makes more sense to me; it's about a lack of advertising rather than the actual datedness of the port.

Ok. If your logic works then SE shouldn't worry about PS4 RoTR sale i guess

I'm not saying sales won't suck, I'm just wondering why, lol.

Isn't that the "Nintendo excuse"? The game bombed because it was released later then other versions. Don't see why it can't be used for PS4 as well.

Don't most Wii U ports also suffer from... well... lots of stuff? Mostly performance wise?

 

[DarthWalden]

Oh dam I had no idea a sequel was coming. The first one was a huge surprise for me and one of my most played games this generation. I'm there day one for any sequel.

 

[Journey]

Oh God, please don't be an Xbox timed exclusive again.

You mean you want it to be perm exclusive? Hell no!

 

[Live Free or Die]

Get ready to soil your pants.

Soilers!

Spoiler

SOILERS!

 

[DrGonzo615]

Would be so stupid on EA's part if they did that again given that the PS4 version was a massive bomb due to being a late port.

was it?

I still play it fairly regularly, but the community is definitely died off some.

 

[Ombala]

NVM

 

[wachie]

nvm, misread.

 

[Nirolak]

I see you guys are starting to chew on your own legs again.

 

[Hanmik]

I see you guys are starting to chew on your own legs again.

you even threw them a bone.

 

[Chobel]

@Nirolak: Is this confirmed to be the sequel to Garden Warfare? All the material I saw mention only "Plant vs Zombies".

 

[Wasp]

I'd love a proper single player campaign mode, kinda similar to the one in TimeSplitters 2.

I also want splitscreen available in every mode, not just one. Not just splitscreen local only but splitscreen and online together like the Halo games.

 

[Nirolak]

"After Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare became a sensation last year with console players young and old. We will be returning to the Plants vs. Zombies universe with a bigger and bolder new console experience in FY16 that we'll share more about at E3."

the teaser is a Parody take on "Modern Warfare 2"... that should be a dead giveaway..

 

[biglittleps]

They should either make it full exclusive to Xbox one (or) release at same time for all platforms because last game timed exclusivity killed its sales on other platforms.

 

[Chobel]

They didn't explicitly say it's gonna be garden warfare sequel, they said another game in "Plants vs. Zombies universe".

Do you have a link to that trailer?

I posted it further up.. ;o)

but here it s again..

[Kayant]

Well, it´s possible.

Maybe also just some timed DLC

Or complete exclusivity ... ;-)

Could be basically anything.

Looool.

You mean you want it to be perm exclusive? Hell no!

Why is that the only other option?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Darn I don't really want to see this game take up time at the Xbox briefing. Oh well, hopefully they don't demo it too.

Get ready to soil your pants.

plants.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Add a campaign this time.

 

[Anion]

Add vehicles just to be wierd lmao

 

[3rdamention]

It's possible EA sees that as the PS4 userbase not being interested in the game though.

What? I doubt that would ever be the case, I'm sure the game sold just as well on both consoles...

 

[3rdamention]

Wait...was it free? I don't think it was free. I remember preordering my copy on PS4.

It wasn't free on Plus at launch, heck it wasn't free on Plus until the PlayStation 20th anniversary give away...

 

[Chobel]

I posted it further up.. ;o)

but here it s again..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXEQTZEizaQ

Looks a bit similar I guess.

 

[Hanmik]

If I remember correctly it was Free for EVERY PS4 owner.. not anything to do with PLUS.

 

[enzo_gt]

Probably going to steal the show.

I'm ready.

 

[Hanmik]

Probably going to steal the show.

I'm ready.

I can see them doing a "Remember No Russians" joke.. like "Remember no Zombies" or something like that.

 

[Outrun]

absolutely it will be-

EA ACCESS rearing its ugly head

What has EA Access got to do with this?

 

[SerTapTap]

Timed exclusive again?

didn't it sell worse on PS because of that or something? I hope they cut it out with the timed exclusives, marketing deal or timed DLC exclusive if you must.

Add a campaign this time.

And bots. Playing solo doesn't really work, even dumb bots would be a huge improvement. 2 players can usually deal but 1 is a no go for certain waves.
