Never wishing to rest on its laurels, though, ustwo has a new iPad game in development. And as we've come to expect from this particular Shoreditch outfit, it's quite unlike anything it's built before.
The game in question is called Monument Valley. It's a puzzling exploratio...
Although Sony made grand promises regarding Remote Play in the past, the company has seemingly pulled out all the stops to make the Playstation Vita a must-have accessory for the Playstation 4 console. Third time's the charm, right? GameNTrain takes a moment to consider the possibilities of Remote Play and what the feature means for Vita owners.
Gamers everywhere are geared up for the the next generation of gaming (and some are already playing it on their Wii-U or Vita). Amid the arguments and disagreements comes the cry "That console will dominate. Brand loyalty, man!" GameNTrain takes a harsh look at the claim that brand loyalty means anything in this day and age, and whether or not we can look at the sales of past generations to determine who will emerge the victor in this upcoming console race.
GameNTrain author Christopher Carpenter writes: Due to the very nature of time, things that were once new slowly age and grow old. Because of this, games that we believed to be groundbreaking have now become obsolete in this ever changing world. However, some have managed to retain a graphical appearance that could still be considered good by todays standards. This list aims at revealing four of those games.
Results vary, from TowerFall creators selling 2000 game units at $15 each to Knife Media breaking even with its twin-stick shooter Red.
Developers for the recently launched Ouya console voiced their opinions on about how each of their various titles have sold so far.
Developer Matt Thorson, who created , selling 2000 units at $15 each. "Sales have been surprisingly high for a new game on a new console. The game has definitely proven itself on Ouya, I think there#146;s enough demand to warrant bringing it to PC," he said.
Developer NimbleBit's title, , was downloaded 6,508 times and was purchased 122 times, bringing the total profit of the game to $427. Co-founder David Marsh said that he would recommend the Ouya for indie developers who are familiar with Android and are curious about the console. "It#146;s probably not going to be a huge source of income compared to other platforms, but it#146;s dead easy to submit a game and get it into the store. It#146;s the only console right now with a truly open store, which makes it interesting and worth supporting if you want to see more open platforms. It#146;s also a great device to have just to check out all sorts of neat experimental multiplayer games that are already popping up. I think it#146;s a step in the right direction," he said.
Knife Media's co-founder Jack Shiels said that sales for the company's game, , was adequate at best. "We broke even within two and a half weeks, whilst sales are currently sitting at just below 400. Right now that doesn#146;t seem like a whole lot, but there aren#146;t a significant amount of Ouyas out in the wild right now. I reckon by year end we will have a clearer picture," he said.
Ryan Wiemeyer, co-founder of the team The Men Who Wear Many Hats, said that the game of what his low-end predictions were. "Last I checked we were at 501 purchases from 13,112 downloads (a 3.8 percent attach rate). This accounts for about 0.1 percent of our total Organ Trail sales to date (which is over 400,000.) So, I don't even know if it was worth the man hours yet. Then again#146; Organ Trail was a pain to add controller support to and that was the bulk of the port."
