This particular trailer has 7.2 million views.

Its not too crazy to assume we'll hit probably over 5 million sales for 2023. Which is fantastic for Armored Core but that'll be slightly offset by all the extra money into development and marketing.

I don't think that they've said that it's separate anywhere. the campaign is going to have an arena mode and it wouldn't surprise me if the multiplayer is an online component of it.

I mean, if we're talking Nolan, none of his films have matched Rises at the box office yet, despite being massive hits.

I expect this game to do well, but only two From games have hit 10 million that I know of, which makes that a pretty high bar. 5 million seems like a reasonable mid-level bar for this. It's low for From's recent stuff, but for an "average" multi-platform release it's quite good.

Just a friendly reminder of what it looks like.

We'll do punctuation later.
dark souls 1 & 2 have sold at the very least 17 million between them (from 2020 when they announced dark souls 3 had sold 10 million and the dark souls series had sold 27 million worldwide - the more recent figure is 34 million excluding japanese sales) so it's reasonably likely at least one of them has also hit 10 million, and if not then both are fairly close. it wouldn't surprise me at all if sekiro has reached 10 million either but there's less data there (it sold 3.8 million by 30 june 2019, and 5 million

ac6 will sell a few million just on from's reputation and then of course more if the game is well-received, relatively accessible to elden ring fans, and so on. 10 million in a few years' time doesn't seem out of reach but far from guaranteed or anything

That said, it's been a series staple for you to get halfway through an ordinary mission and then ENEMY AC DETECTED. Yeah I think they said player invasions weren't going to be a thing, but it sure would be on-brand for AC.

On the other hand, fantasy is more popular than sci-fi.

So we’ll see, but I’m highly sceptical this beats out Elden Ring.

Bamco is gonna be including the remaster and SotC editions in those numbers, which is something to consider.

gently caress, with how many platforms I’ve bought all the editions on, half those sales might just be me.

^^^ The world seems cool but all the environments I've seen have been metal girders, metal platforms and metallic mesh, in various states of being on fire. Even if the mechanics of the game are tight the setting isn't as engaging.

if it’s all steel girders, forges and icey tundras it’ll be cool as hell. however, i think they’ve given themselves the option to get weird with it via the underground cities. from software likes diverse settings and they have the budget for it with this game

My limited experience playing through the games in the series:

AC1 has a base assault mission with toxic gas that melts your AC for the whole mission
AC2 has a base assault mission with electrified water floors that damage your AC if you touch them AND containers that if destroyed will fill a room with toxic gas that melts your AC overtime. Enemy are all fliers armed with shotguns.

Concrete Swamp is going to be great.
