Now the game has released and we can look underneath the muck. All around the internet scores of fans were quick to attack, or defend, depending on your point of view, the game’s potential as development moved along and the scandal has never really washed off. At this point, none of us really know what happened, but whatever it was certainly clouded public perception of Metal Gear Survive since its onset. If you followed the drama surrounding Kojima and his final Metal Gear opus, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, you’d have found a tale of mystery and betrayal at the center of a huge scandal that rocked the gaming world for months. It remains to be seen where the series goes from here, but Metal Gear Survive’s producer Yuji Korekado has stressed that the game should not be seen as a continuation of the series.Metal Gear Survive Metal Gear Konami Digital Entertainment Online Multiplayer Online Co-op Game review Review Survival Kevin Tavore The fortunes of the Metal Gear franchise, its creator Hideo Kojima and its publisher Konami have been tied together for decades. Nor has it been particularly well received by critics and fans. Still, it’s pretty clear that it has not been a commercial success. It needs to be said that this list entails physical copies only, and Metal Gear Survive did manage to claim the top spot in the Japanese PS Store download charts. Spin-off Metal Gear Rising managed to move 300.000 games in its first week. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain sold 400.000 copies in its first week, and had shipped 6 million worldwide by the end of the year. The PlayStation 4 version of the game can be found near the bottom of the list, at number 88, with a total of only 52.131 copies sold.ĭuring its launch week in February, Survive sold a little over 31.000 copies, so this means for the rest of the year, only about 20.000 copies have been added to that number.Ĭompared to virtually any other installment in the series, this is seriously underwhelming. Among those is also Metal Gear Survive, but that doesn’t mean the game did well. Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has published a list containing the top 100 best sold video games in Japan during 2018 (January 1st to December 30).
