Can Crimson take down Angry Birds?
We all know that Angry Birds is probably the greatest game to ever grace mobile gaming. It ranks just behind the fart app and that app that costs $10,000 on the list of greatest apps ever created. There is something so primal about launching birds into pigs.
It probably reaches back to our days as cavemen. I mean, back then it was cool to have a bird, but what good is a tiny little blue bird going to do when you have all the cave women flocking to you because you invented fire. They want to have you cave babies, but it's not going to happen with a little avian creature. So what did our ancestors do? They launched those tiny birds at pigs. It was then they that were able to harness the delicious pork products. And that's how bacon was invented.
So for crimson to be effective at all, it needs to be able to break the hold that angry birds has on the market. It needs to beat the game which tells the story of our ancestors inventing bacon so they could make sweet cave love to the cave women all night and populate the world.
So Crimson needs two things. Food and women. Those are the two most basic needs of life. We need food and we need to reproduce. Crimson must include a food greater than bacon. It will be a hard task, but I think we can do it. My personal suggestion would be [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YsE8j6OioQ]deep fried butter[/url], but we can decide that later.
Secondly we need women. Lots and lots of women. Bungie, if you're listening, I would place a call to [url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/p/pirates_caribbean2_060627/flip-.jpg]Keira Knightley's[/url] agent. She is definitely a 10 and she knows how to play the pirate roll. Johnny Depp in a bikini might also be a little bit of a turn on. But definition some pirates with some skin showing would be clutch.
Angry Birds set the precedent. They built a best selling game by telling the tale of our ancestors getting women with bacon. Now Crimson needs to not just follow the blueprint, but follow the blueprint x10. We need MORE delicious foods and MORE women. That's the key. Hopefully Bungie knows what they're doing.

I'm okay with this, you should be too.[/quote] Oh no ... its the '[i]halo reach[/i]' defense - lol. From a commercial POV you want a game to '[i]appeal to the masses[/i]'. From a developers POV you want your game to be loved by the masses. The '[i]halo reach[/i]' defense was formed by sore losers who couldnt hold the #1 position against a game 1 year older ... tell me we are not going to run out that same defense now?[/quote] It's less about defense, and more about Reality, get yourself out of the forums and check it out sometime.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Scaryghost1 I doubt it.[/quote] Yep ... another month passes, and it slips further down the list. The OP asked the question back when the game was released - he had hope as his excuse. But guess this is a bit like how reach kept getting compared to the COD series (or any halo for that matter) ... some people cant let misguided hope go.

I doubt it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] burritosenior When you're only on 'I' devices it's sort of hard to take down something like angry birds completely.[/quote] The engine that CSP uses runs on; - iOS ('I' devices as you called them), - Android, - Windows (XP through Win7) - Mac For some very odd reason bungie pushed back on the release, this despite HBS having supplied video of it running on all three platforms. It was the same with the iPhone release. The bungie '[i]master plan[/i]' had it as a great idea to stagger the platform release ... like WTF?!? The ironic part of this is the way bungie call Microsoft "[b]controlling[/b]" when it did similar stuff (eg ODST). At least Microsoft owned the halo series (and bungie) - here HBS are being held back from possible markets. (A conversation which comes up in Indie dev forums when aerospace is mentioned) Even putting all this to one side. Comparing Angry Birds (and its follow-up versions) to CSP [b]on iPhone/iPad alone[/b] CSP is still WAY behind. And if you compare weekly download stats its fallen further behind each week (guessing many of the initial takeup was from the bungie fanclub).

agreed. AngryBirds is probably the most purchased app.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GLO Is Back [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GLO Is Back Been 4 months ... crimson has not '[i]taken down Angry Birds[/i]'. You can keep wishing, but the bungie name doesnt attract the same attention it once did.[/quote] Repeats and rinse. (except its now into its 5th month) Never going to happen - lol. (espec with bungie not doing its '[i]publisher[/i]' job)[/quote] ^ this. Its like people still asking if reach can re-take the #1 position. Dream on people, dream on. Its an "[i]ok[/i]" game but it is no Angry Birds.

Yah i think crimson is a great game compared to angry birds but the thing is angry birds is most popular because any age can play it and it's so easy to play,even my grandma and little brother knows how to play it.
-
I really enjoy crimson, I've tried Angry Birds, didn't really like it. But I don't think Crimson has a realistic chance of taking out AB. Taking the behaviors of the majority of people downloading apps to their phones, "omg cute little birds blowing stuff up" is much more appealing than a pirate game.

A little bit of editing and removal of certain things from what i saw when a cutscene style conversation bubble comes up you see a picture of someone with text. better to replace the pic with some cartoony figure.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spartenelite345 I've never actually played angry birds, but it seems like Crimson , knowing Bungie, would be a little more involved, no?[/quote] "[i]never actually played angry birds[/i]" ... what?!? Do you not own an iPad/iPhone/Andriod ... even a version available on xbox these days ... which rock you been under - lol. And bungie kinda just put their name to the title. Story goes that the studio owed bungie a favour ... and bungie needed at least ONE title under aerospace after almost two years of being a publisher without a title. Not sure bungie was that fussy about how '[i]involved[/i]' it was.

nope, it will have to take down fruit ninja, ninjump deluxe and crash kart first
-
I just can't believe Angry Birds got to where it is, it was just not that appealing to me when it came out. And it still isn't.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SPRTN One One 7 I wonder what happened to OP. Crimson won't take down angry birds, I'm sorry[/quote] Dared question bungie and their plan for world domination ;) Not sure how bungie can dominate without a title of their own ... but guess they must have some plan?!? CSP has already slipped down the charts. Doubt Angry Birds even heard of the name bungie - lol
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Destiny 7 If you hate Bungie so much, why do you keep coming back here?[/quote] So let me understand your point ... if I went '[i]sucky, sucky, CSB must take down Angry Birds because its brought to the world by bungie[/i]' ... this would make YOU happy. lol ... sorry, but lets be honest ... neither is going to happen. Stick to my point ... after 5 months CSB aint going to make some miraculous jump to the top of the charts. And as a challenge to you ... provide some links showing us bungies [cough] publisher efforts for ITS ONLY TITLE. If they are serious there would be at least a dozen in the lead up to Christmas. Come on a few magazine articles placed by bungie pushing this great game, is that too much to expect of a publisher?

I don't think this game was meant to take down any thing.
