Trials Fusion officially outsells Evolution | Forums

[BDSooner72]

The beatles sold more albums than Pink Floyd but every one with ears knows wich was the better band.

Lynyrd Skynyrd?

Happy to see the sales figures are doing well. En0-, are you a glutton for punishment? It's Friday, you got the weekend coming up and you post that Reddit link. The hive mind will not be happy, nope, not one bit.

You're forgetting that Evo. was on one platform for those 7 months, digitally, while Fusion was on 4 at launch. It was obviously going to sell more in a shorter time-frame due to the HUGE install base that Fusion has, compared to what Evo. had.

this.

Commercial crap always sells well.

and this.

we all know that justin bieber is an amazing songwriter and musician . and he sells stuff in the bucketload .. must be better than the beatles by a mile

Yes ^

And Redlynx reached their only goal with Fusion...to make a lot of money...done. With great power comes great responsibility...and Uncle Ben was Fusion.

Who are the strongest voices?

What could someone with my opinion improve? Could I tell Redlynx to sell the game for less? Reduce/eliminate the price of DLC? Honestly communicate with their fan base? I could, but it's just "negativity".

No Max.

...because everybody hates you.

Edit: To clear up any confusion, he was clearly referring to somebody like myself when speaking about the "strongest voices". You thought my body was buff? You should check out my voice son.

the hardcore fans are the ones that keep the game alive when peedeepie players have left for the next new thing .

Credits where it is due.
From a developer perspective most people finish the game under 50% completion, only 10-20 percent get to see the ending. Still they made hidden ninja tracks and a lot of stuff in their spare time that probably 0.1% of players will ever get to see.
Server Costs, unless rented, for an old game aren't a giant deal but as seen before some developers switch them of pretty soon to slim down costs and refresh their own server infrastructure.
Unlike those companies Redlynx servers for Trials 2 from 2008 are still up and running as well as webchat even though only a few people use it.


And if you want to "hate on" anyone you should probably start with the lead departement (Anba, Sebbbi, & CoKg) of Redlynx since most of the Devs certainly were under a giant pressure finishing the game and had no word in the release schedule, probably would have prefered releasing the game in a more relaxed manner. Although those probably had contracts running but still I think they had enough influence to reschedule the release if they wanted. They made a tactical gamble that worked out well, so also think of them as good businessman.

I am pretty sure the story went something like this.
Ubisoft: We now finished our acquisition of Redlynx. Trials a new franchise to most consoles which is best introduced at the start of a new generation.
So they offered a giant cash bonus for finishing the game early and no one naturally wanted to lose out on that and so they just put it together as well as they could before release.

Fusion was marketed smarter and better. UbiLynx got some famous youtubers involved for example, this wasnt the case with Evo.
Also, Ps4 & X1 consoles are still in the first year of release. Not that many games available, especially not many arcade titles.
I believe Fusion was rushed out & released in a half finished state partly because of this.
If they had waited til x-mas to finish the game they would have had a much harder time selling Fusion with all the games that are coming out around that time.

And lets face it: Trials is an awesome game.
Fusion might be a poorly done version of Trials, BUT its still Trials.

The beatles sold more albums than Pink Floyd but every one with ears knows wich was the better band.
Lil Wayne sold more records than Immortal Technique but only a complete idiot would say Wayne is better.

Just because Fusion sold more copies than Evo does not mean its better.
Every Trials fan knows Evo is King.

Couldn't agree more with this.

holy crap, we can't go away for a few hours of this forum without seeing a mess when we're back ;-)

Not the courage to answer tonight, I'll answer later in the week end.

PS: Nobody told me for the giant cash bonus! bastards! ;-) (or maybe your story was pure fiction with no insight at all though that was cute )

We know you won millions En0-, specially with Jean-Pierre, don't lie
