Still a failure guys? Shipped != sold. But those are still decent numbers, although the sell through numbers are probably quite a bit lower.

Screenshots? Check. Videos? Check. Gameplay doesn't come across well in either, not even videos. That is why you give out demos and on today's economy I treat every game purchase as if I was investing my money, with tons of research before I actually decide to buy a game. And that's why the economy is in the crapper, due to people just sitting on their money, afraid to use it for even the smallest purchases. Walsingham said: You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

C2B Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Secret World Launch Trailer Just came out today. Can't play it though for a few weeks.
Morgoth Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 That was like one of the worst trailers I've ever seen. Rain makes everything better.

WorstUsernameEver Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 That was a hastily put together teaser though. The Kickstarter video is the official promotional material they're pushing.

The comic book artist will be involved in the creation of the game "from the ground up", and will direct the look of it, Gibbons told Eurogamer in an exclusive interview at the GameCityNights event in Nottingham last week. Well, this is promising. Edited July 3, 2012 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Also, isn't this just going to lead to even more online DRM checks? It's about the principle of reselling a 'license' to a game. So in theory you could legally sell your steam/origin account with games attached to it.

The article was misquoting it's source. The mass effect 3 has sold 3.5 million copies was a link to another article. Quoting from that: "EA announced today that Mass Effect 3 shipped over 3.5 million copies in the first week of release, selling 890,000 units in the first 24 hours of North American sales alone."
