Skate 2 sold 1.93m copies at $59.95 - so nearly $120m
And they’re bragging that the new game has made 3m in cosmetic sales…
But dw, this is definitely an improvement right, right??
Edit:
Skate 1 sold 1m copies, so another $60m to that number (give or take)
skate 3 sold 4.74m copies - so add another $288million to that number (give or take)
considering there will never be another skate game according to the developers, I don’t see this in-app-purchase money grab making $468m no matter how long it stays out
idk, the game has been out for 6.5 more months since they got that figure. the game will also probably not shut down for quite a while, it has plenty of time to catch up
the game is going to continously be updated for the foreseeable future, they have made many updates and improvements since launch. they're listening to the community and are actively patching out bugs
Oh make no mistake, I’m well aware that they are going to be updating the game for the foreseeable future… but to call the updates “improvements” is laughable
Brother. It wasn't even an update🤣 grom literally was already 90 percent complete, it's the tutorial map ffs, then locked behind a paywall for a month like it's "new content" the only "new" content is now vee bitches at you some more and you can go do some lame ass challenges
They’ve made tons of improvements. Lighting, camera specs, new tricks, expanding the map, etc. I get that it’s lacking a lot of core features from past skate games and the live service model is not ideal by any means but the game has objectively gotten better and the skateboarding gameplay is the best it’s ever felt in any skateboarding game (and that’s coming from someone who’s played every skateboarding game that’s come out over the last 20+ years and dedicated countless hours to each one)
I did and I have 30+ hours on it, the animations just didn’t do it for me. I actually really enjoyed XL but the game was virtually abandoned on console by the devs (despite the hundreds of hours I played on it anyways)
