This could beat Modern Warfare 2?

[Earthbound Engineer]

I think a microsoft version of Super smash brawl. We would have the master chief, captain Price, Altiar, gordan freeman, ect.

No, Gordon Freeman will never, ever, ever be property of Microsoft! He will stay with Valve until the day he dies. (Which will probably from a combination of an infected headcrab bite, and having unprotected sex with Alyx.) And as for Altair, he belongs to Ubisoft, and Captain Price belongs to that less-than-reputable developer that refuses to stop making 15 billion sequels to each of their game franchises...what's their name again? Oh, that's right, Harmonix. No, that's not it, they abandoned Guitar Hero...which is probably why its predecessors are in the toilet. Activision, it was Activision! Yes...like Microsoft, they never knew when to stop and they destroyed two very good game series. The only reason that Mario is still alive and not the star of a low budget shooter or some Japanese eroge is because Nintendo knew when it was time to take a break...and now that they did, Mario is back and as good as ever.

Valve has confirmed a new Counter-Strike, 1.6 had 9 million players for some time afaik.
Maybe that, and if not, I can't think of any other game that would outsell MW2.

Chuck Norris: the video game ofcourse...

the next wow xpack will out sell the bible by 10 fold easily.

 

[Nazulu]

Smash Brothers?
No thanks, I want real fighters.

Pffft, no one can beat Captain Falcon, NO ONE!

OT, If Blizzard ever make a WOW 2 or even a Starcraft MMO, it would earn them enough money to buy large country's I believe.

Have to wait till the next GTA methinks, especially after the hype around 4, or IV if you need to be technical

Technical? IV? Naaah, if I was bein' technical about it, I'd call it GTA 9.

The correct answer is World of Warcraft 2

 

[Kortney]

The reason Modern Warfare 2 sold so well is that it appeals to so many people. All different types of people play and enjoy MW 2 from complete jocks to total nerds - everyone plays it. Games like World of Warcraft or Diablo don't appeal to as many consumer groups as Modern Warfare 2 does.

 

[Lordmarkus]

Next GTA if they make it good. MW3 probably could, specially if they put Dedicated Servers and good matchmaking/lists in.

I doubt MW3 will ever reach PC seeing the arrogance shown by Infinity Ward. I haven't got much faith in them anymore and turned into a cynic. IW were one of my favourite developers untill they totally turned their backs against the PC-community. Arrogant and idiotic quotes from Bowling and Mikey does not really help. [End rant]

OT: The only thing that can beat MW2 in sales are probably MW3, GTA 5, Half-Life 3 (multiplattform) or maybe Halo: Reach if the franchise goes multi-plattform.

Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 or HL2:EP3 won't come close to MW2 by the simple factor, it doesn't have the casual appeal.

A Sony Smash would do a lot better than a Microsoft one, since MS doesn't have too many 1st-party characters and Sony has quite a few more.

But I think the perfect game would be a Saints Row with RF: Guerilla destruction physics. It would easily be the best game ever, though most would still say GTA4 is better (which can only be because of the title because without the GTA part, most would consider that game crap).

But GoW3 probably will outsell MW2.

If a Halo game can't move enough units to beat a multiplatform game like MW2, a PS3 exclusive like God of War 3 sure as hell can't. I'm not saying either one is the better game, but there's a hell of a lot more Halo fanboys with 360s than GoW fanboys with PS3s.

 

[Thy-Art-Is-Awesome]

The question today is, what could beat modern wafare 2 in terms of game sales? With over $500 million in sales in its first five days, what other game could beat it? You tell me. It can be an upcoming game, or maybe a fictional one that we can only dream of. The range can be anything from Halo Reach to Mario: The first person shooter.

I think a microsoft version of Super smash brawl. We would have the master chief, captain Price, Altiar, gordan freeman, ect.

yeah. throw in Alex Mercer and Cole McGrath......Batman??

But GoW3 probably will outsell MW2.

I think the best game ever would be a third person zombie survival, sandbox game with destruction physics, real world weaponry, rpg character evolution, unreliable vehicles (low fuel, broken engine, lousy brakes, etc...for realistic apocalypse effects), more than 2 endings depending on (not moral) choices, upgradable everything (weapons, vehicles, safehouses) multiple types of zombies and online multiplayer.
THAT would be fuckin awesome.

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

Erm...World of Warcraft 2? I dunno, its possible. The Dark Knight was the highest selling film until (shudder) New Moon came out so...

 

[TPiddy]

It absolutely has to be multi-platform.

Halo 3 is the top selling single platform game of this generation, with over 10 million copies sold.

MW 2 hit 10 million copies combined on 360 and PS3, and it's still going. It's possible it could hit 10 million on 360 alone, as the bulk of it's sales come on 360.

Thus, anyone who says GoW 3 or Halo: Reach would do it, is just being naive.

I also don't think it could be an original IP either. I'm thinking only a long-standing multi-platform series with consistently good sales could do it, like MGS, GTA or Resident Evil, or perhaps a new Fallout title.

 

[WickedSkin]

Call of Duty: Thank you consumer-whorefare

That would sure beat MW2.

 

[Manhattan2112]

The game would have to have a riddiculous amount of weapons, of different shapes, sizes, and uses. I personally have wanted to play a [good] game with an "Electric Sword" available to me at some point. The game would have to be funny - Black Humor works very well in the videogaming world. The game would have to have a catchy name, and a great sound track made of actual artists who make music that you can rock out to. It would have to have a large, game world made of both urban, and countryside areas. It would have to be balanced in gameplay and puzzles, with characters [and villains] that you can relate to, and feel emotions for, voiced by people who have interesting and strong voices. IT would have to be colorful, and have a good physics engine.

And it would only be able to run on a million dollar super-computer.


Did I just [kind of] describe Borderlands, Fallout 3, Brutal Legend, Ratchet and Clank, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Call of Duty 6 mixed together? In my defense, combined correctly it would be awesome.

Yeah, Zombie games when executed well, are brilliant. Deadrising was hilarious, creative, and fun to look at. In fact, I would site Deadrising as one of my favorite games of all time. I know it didn't have online, but it had an element of realism that I loved: basically everything was a weapon. "See that Bench over there?" "Yeah." "You can hit zombies with it." "What about that orange juice jug?" "That too." "The ficus?" "Mh hm" "You're not going to tell me that step-ladder is a weapon, are you?" "I don't have to, now."

If ever Blizzard came out with a WoW 2, they would have enough money to buy the solar system.

Divine intervention would be required to stop an evil like that.
