So biggest entertainment launch in history is not enough to impress Molyneux? Wow that guy has high standards (except for when it comes to the quality of his own games).

[QUOTE="lamprey263"]okay, it took me a second get get what he's saying a game like GTA V takes 5 years to make, the payoff is $1 billion in profits yet the social and mobile games can earn $3-5 million per day, so in the 5 year period it took Rockstar to make and sell GTA for that $1 billion in profits, the social and mobile games could have earned themselves between $5.5-9.1 billion, that's the point he's making I had no idea mobile and social games made so much, what games is he talking about that do so well?

Puzzle and dragons is probably the most notable example. http://www.serkantoto.com/2013/07/29/gungho-puzzle-dragons-report/ 5 million/day and I think it's only popular in Japan.

[QUOTE="LA-Nighthawk"]Rockstar and Take Two bragging about making more money than Hollywood movies in the press releases? Totally okay. Someone pointing out that mobile games make tons more money than GTA? F*ck off. Lumpy311

Because GTA games have a quality standard, mobile games don't.

GTA and quality in the same sentence :lol::lol::lol:

 

Thanks for making me laugh.

They might be fun if you have very low standards for your games. It's okay you have two kinds of people in this world: The ones with

good taste and ones who wouldn''t recognize a good game when it punches them in the face. You fall in the 2nd category if you think GTA

is quality.

Mobile is the future. Too much easy money for developers to ignore. It's going to have a huge affect on next-gen games, in a bad way.

Im confused as to why anyone would actually care what he has to say.

He is like warrent spector. Sure he back in his day made a couple good games but for the past decade has done nothing worth even mentioning, yet still runs around talking as if he is relevant and people pay attention to him. Peter is just a old game developer that has lost complete touch with making games and is only recognized now for griping about things other people do while shitting out the occasional mediocre at best game.

Why would we butthurt? We get to play the highest rated game this gen on Metacritic and arguably the best game of all time. Not to mention that GTA V made over 1 billion in 3 days, making it the most succesful launch in entertainment history.

Probably a mobile gaming fanboy that's mad because he can't play GTA V.

What do they have to be butthurt about, exactly? Petey isn't exactly a guy who's taken too seriously nowadays, and GTA5 has proven to be quite successful.

What a prick.

Never mind that a) the markets are entirely different, b) many of those apps are microtransaction farms and should not be applauded or encouraged by anyone who makes actual games.

Peter Molyneux is a nasty, senile old man who makes promises he doesn't keep, and delivers broken dreams to overhyped Fable fans. I bet he loves the taste of children's tears, also.

Ok... How is it not impressive. I am not the biggest fan of the series. But selling that many games as they are is really impressive in my opinion. No matter how you look at it

If you're going by metascore the greatest game of all time is Ocarina of Time. Look at sig (the advantage is even bigger if you take the metacritic for the PS3, which is lower than the one for the 360).

while it is impressive given the current market for standard retail games, he's saying the social and mobile games have more profitability, when you take into consideration games like GTA V take years to develop and the payoff period is short, whereas mobile and social gaming keep generating revenues and can earn more than even the best retail games during that same development and retail period

The guy is a complete tool, Rockstar actually care about the games they make. They have made games such as Manhunt 2 knowing full well the crap storm it would recieve and that it would not sell all that well compared to GTA but they did it anyway. When Rockstar North stop making games they like to make, it will be a sad day. To be honest I think they should give GTA a break (well at least their best developers and writers) and make something else epic sales or not.

Setting two new records for game development, biggest budget and fastest sales is not something to shrug off.

http://analogaddiction.org/2013/09/20/fable-creator-gtav-sales-not-impressive/

Speaking at a mobile innovation conference with Mobile Entertainment last night, the developer said It [GTAV] will achieve around $1 billion in revenue on consoles in just one month, after noting the games popularity.

Sounds impressive doesnt it? Molynuex asked rhetorically before adding No. Thats not impressive.

Molynuex continued by comparing the sales of GTAV, a big budget AAA title to the Mobile platform and mobile games who he says are achieving between $3 million and $5 million a day.

That is impressive, Molynuex concluded.

Dude obviously doesn't understand the difference between real video games and virtual vending machines, designed to prey on stupid people with short attention spans, extra cash, and addictive personalities.

lmao nope. GTA V(or GTA4) have over 70 more reviews than OoT, not to mention that 2013 standards are alot f*cking higher than 1998. Also, OoT is missing from Metacritic's Highest Rated games of all time list cause it has very few reviews so it doesnt qualify. Now run along little sheep and enjoy your Wii U :lol:

I get what Peter is saying here. A mobile game is cheap to make and to market but makes a huge return VS GT5 with a huge budget for development and marketing. All things considered as strange as it may sound the mobile game might actually make more net profit.

That would imply that mobile games have 5 years of longevity.  Other then angry birds none would be close not to mention most people who play on mobile don't buy games.  I can't blame him though he has failed at most of his console titles as Fable never came close to its potential.  He simply wasn't good enough to cut it in the console industry so better luck to him in mobile.

I don't have to spend 260 million to make five fold revenue. I could theoretically spend 250k and make 5 million a DAY.
