Just like he said: Though it was an amazing game (I bought it opening day), it only sold 4m units. Unfortunate that that's considered a flop.
By comparison, Modern Warfare 3 sold 10m copies on day one.
And thats sad... More mindless military shooters year after year after year
It was such an amazing game. Is this just like Looking Glass and Terra Nova?
Well LGS made about three games after Terra Nova, so maybe not. Their last full game was Thief 2 which I think made money but not enough to warrant them being kept alive in the wake of the Daikatana fiasco.
Terra Nova was the disaster that led to their demise. It's a shame because I was one of the 100,000 people that purchased it, and it is still one of my favourite games of all time. It's up there with SS2, Half Life, Quake.
