Indeed, slap on the wrist for me poo-pooing the Jurasic Park title. Whatever the opposite of a slap on the wrist is for the portfolio though, so I'll get over it :D

Blimey search the game title on YouTube - people are going crazy over it already - reviews of the trailer etc

Question - any comments on the idear this is building to.a split?

Also, share register is light on institutions. They might want that to change.

I'm thinking through scenarios. Float is small and tight, share register at >3% worth a look.

Comments?

Thanks Bamboo, very encouraging! Way things are going holding above 850p should be achievable.

Great news. Agree with pf, well done those making predictions on JP

Bought more trading shares first thing on this news.

brucey, I can see what you're saying. We just need the price to consolidate, rather than keep going up, so we can calculate a target! Just done some rough calcs. Ideally the 'pole' would top out approx 874 or above. Then a tight consolidation zone.

The lowest point in the flag would govern ultimate target price, if this were say 850 the tp would be in the region of 1220.

People are on holiday.

Hard to imagine many sellers so will there be more buying after hol season?

News release timing is interesting.

This is not a ramp but I suspect something else is possible too.
A left field positive event as I don't get this news release I would have expected September.

But, I'm not as clever as Braben et al.

Only last week I was quoted 6.55p to buy 2950 and cancelled. Gutted but GLA..I can see £10 in a few months

Room for a newbie? I got in this morning around the 810p level after a number of failed fill and kills. Nice to see some familiar faces.

I was watching anyway as I like the change to the self-publishing model and from what I can work out this new release looks like it will have some serious firepower behind it. The Xbox trailer on You Tube already has 294000 views when I checked (after 11 hours) out of 2 million subscribers! The comments seem fairly positive referencing Operation Genesis which seems to have a bit of a rave following from release around 14 years(?) ago. I've been trying to find some Planet Coaster comparisons, the official launch on the Planet Coaster channel had 573k views in 9 months. I'd be interested what other people think would be a good comparison as whilst this perhaps isn't the best like for like on the face of it this should blow the Planet Coaster numbers out the water if well received.

Congrats to all and especially the Jurassic predictors.
I was totally wrong thinking JK Rowling stuff to.do with animals.

[bruceylegs] 21/8/2017 08:48

Surely we're in 'high, tight flag' territory now.

[rivaldo] 21/8/2017 08:39

Finncap have today increased their target price to 968p (from 690p).....

[cfro] 21/8/2017 07:40

Get in there......:0))

This is a hell of a land for them. Going to be released in conjunction with the new film Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. You can't get better promotion than that.

[phowdo] 21/8/2017 07:23

cfro, good educated guess that it was going to be a Jurassic Park game!

[hastings] 21/8/2017 07:20

Excellent announcement this morning.

[rivaldo] 21/8/2017 07:19

Fabulous news for next summer - should produce huge sales, particularly on Playstation and Xbox.

Given the simultaneous worldwide launch of the next Jurassic Park movie the game should be a global smash hit with all the accompanying PR:



"It will be our first self-published title to debut on PC, PlayStation and Xbox simultaneously, and the first to benefit from such a major marketing event as the theatrical release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom."

Well done cfro who predicted the new game would Jurassic World.

Exciting times.........

[staverly] 21/8/2017 07:06

Glad i increased my holding last week,been contemplating the idea since last year.

[panic investor] 21/8/2017 07:03

Nice start to the week

[m4ybe] 21/8/2017 00:30

Jurassic World 2015 was at the time the third highest grossing film of all time (now the fourth after a Star Wars which I think came afterwards). This is massive.

[makw61] 20/8/2017 22:27

Nice looking trailer. The great news is that it's for pc, xbox and ps4 so i could easily see this doing 3m to 4m units in the 12 months after launch. GLA

[ck1111] 20/8/2017 21:25

Jurassic World Evolution trailer just out

[staverly] 18/8/2017 13:42

P1nkfish ... thanks for the link. It really sets the context of FDEV's potential to still multibag from here.

[hastings] 18/8/2017 11:53

Cheers for that rivaldo. Also worth reiterating that Liberum's forecasts include the third game enjoying early sales around the same level as ED and PC. But, given the apparent high profile of the new game and potential interest that is likely to bring, then it isn't unreasonable surely to anticipate sales being greater than the previous.
