Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. It’s launching against a highly anticipated sequel to an established IP (Dragon’s Dogma 2) with a lot of crossover in its target demographic. And DD2 is multi-platform, while RotR is PS-exclusive.
I hate to say it, 'cause the game does look legitimately good and I want it to succeed, but I’d be surprised if it hits even half is sales target. I really think they’ve shot themselves in the foot by releasing the same day as Dragon’s Dogma 2.
I definitely would’ve bought it day one if it was on PC and wasn’t competing with DD2. But as it is, I might never play it, since by the time I’m done with DD2 and/or RotR comes to PC, I’ll have moved on to something shinier.
I was interested in RoR but then the visuals have put me off. Now I’ve read more about the gameplay and previews and I’m interested again but the visuals really are what’s holding me back from a day one buy.
I’m cautiously optimistic for them as I’d love to see it succeed but I can see where the uncertainty comes in. But they’ve not said over what time period, so it may be over a period of a few year which makes it a more manageable, but still a stretch of a target.
Having said that, personally, I’m waiting on the release of this and DD2 before I decide which to get first.
