Retro City Rampage has “done incredibly well” on 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Vblank Entertainment seems to be pleased with Retro City Rampage’s performance on 3DS. Creator Brian Provinciano tweeted today that the game has “done incredibly well” on Nintendo’s portable.
@JonGryphon 3DS version's done incredibly well.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
The comment above originated from a larger discussion about reviews:
Big reviews *DO* influence future reviews and public perception. The perception tints the glasses everyone else enters the game with.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
If a game has a positive perception, new players continue to give it the benefit of the doubt if certain aspects don't grip them initially.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
If a game has a negative perception, if new players do try it, they'll be quick to write it off.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
Retro City Rampage made almost all of its revenue the second year. I do feel strongly that IGN's review significantly damaged the launch.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
Word of mouth, and a hundred thousand players playing it on PS+ probably helped public perception overshadow IGN's influence a lot.
— Brian Provinciano (@BriProv) July 2, 2014
RCR:DX later launched to almost unanimous 9/10s. IGN never reviewed it, & in their RCR:DX coverage linked to their 5.3/10 orig RCR review.
