The marketing is already pretty crazy. I'm watching the Va. Tech vs. FSU game and it seems like the commercial for Spider-Man is being run every other break. It's really seems like it's been ramped up over the weekend.
Sweet.. I'll just play Dragon Quest XI instead of stalking YouTube for reviews tonight.
It will REALLY add to a positive word of mouth. The average joe wouldnt know about metascores, but those buying the game will read and hear how high the reviews are, especially when social media is a thing.
It's entirely possible. I'm not ready to commit to that yet, but above 1 million NPD opening is pretty much locked up barring shockingly poor reviews
Yeah for sure. Horizon was close enough to 90 it still pretty much had the same effect. That said even though the difference between say a 90 and a 94 doesnt sound huge, in practice it is. Each "marginal" jump up 90 has an affect believe it or not. Not true for say the 70s or 80s
Exactly this. In fact publishers invite people to do mock reviews before a game launches all the time in order to get a feel on how it's going to go and when the embargo should be stated for
Yep. I remember when lots of people were doubting me when I told them a new NPD Sony record was incoming for GoW launch. You would think my track record speaks for itself by now though
Nope. Red Dead beats everything else this year
Thanks. Tomorrows gonna be wild.
I would think that Spider-Man vs western genre would give Spidey the edge due to the broader appeal? Red Dead is trending that strongly?
I'm still betting on a 91 MC score. Months ago, I would have said high 80s, but I've grown more optimistic with time.
Red Dead is multiplatform, is a Rockstar game, and it's the first R* game after their best selling one ever with GTAV
People thinking the original RDR is some sort of measuring bar for Red Dead 2 are woefully off base we are looking at a guaranteed 20+ million seller there and that's a conservative estimate
That's true. Being multiplatform and being R's first truly current gen game post-GTA V are pretty huge advantages
Red Dead is still multiplatform though.
Surprised to see he's thinking it'll beat CoD though.
It's a given Sony's pushing the fuck out of this game during Thursday's NFL opener yes? It's too perfect not to do it, the game's mere hours before the game launches and the possibilities for mainstream appeal are huge!
Do we know if they're sponsoring?

Does the game offer actual side missions, or only collectibles? If its just collectibles, I could see some critics knocking down a few points for the lack of true side content.
Game looks absolutely amazing though, I'm gonna put my guess at 89 Metascore

Does Red Dead beat Black Ops 4?
I have a $400 dollar bet for Red Dead being the best selling title in 2018 globally across all platforms.
Man, my youtube sub box is gonna be filled with spiderman content all throughout tomorrow and probably the other 2 days leading to release.
Everyone seems excited and it looks polished as hell. Guessing around 91. If it gets higher than that then the story is probably also notably good.

Yes I believe Red Dead Redemption 2 outsells BO4. Maybe not this calendar year, BO4 may edge that. But I anticipate much stronger legs for Red Dead
Though the whole Battle Royale thing is a massive unknown X factor. If that takes off for BO4 could totally change everything
But sorry guys dont wanna go too off topic here. Its Spidey hype time!!!
yeah it's really lame the way stuff is posted in there.
but internet gonna internet
Yes, there's actual side missions, on top of the collectibles and side activities.
Insomniac's track record has me guessing in the mid 80's. I'd love to be surprised and its a 90+ GOTY contender, but I have my doubts. They never quite get to that level with critics for some reason. Having said all of that, I don't really care lol... gonna play this regardless. The last Ratchet and Clank (my first Ratchet and Clank game) was easily a top 3 GOTY candidate.
well the best fight scene in a marvel movie is 40 seconds of cap beating on some low level thug at tbe beginning of winter soldier so
Nah, the Avengers 1 main Fight. So if that's included I'm hyped!
It actually happened to me lol. I know it's totally my fault for not paying attention but would've been nice to start with spoiler warning and then Spiderman.
Anyways what's done is done.
The mods should add more *spoiler* warnings to the thread title, like they did with the God of War spoiler theard.
