There’s an awful lot of “next gen” stuff this autumn which didn’t really look too clever *before*.

“I think it’s going to make a lot of people bringing out games in the third and fourth quarters this year shit themselves, frankly. There’s an awful lot of “next gen” stuff this autumn which really isn’t going to look so clever now.”

Who’d be Volition, Sierra or the 50 cent bozos Not I.

I think even if I’d got a preview copy I’d have still bought it on another format just to see it doing well. Very well deserved sales records, and hopefully a game that’ll set the bar so bloody high for this gen that quite a few other teams will reassess some of the crap they’re churning out this year.

Yep. Can’t really argue with it. I’m going to buy it today, I think. I can’t stand not owning it.

$100 million to make, and it made an estimated $340 million on its first day of sales.

I’d call that a win.
