Just wish so many resources werent being used on this. Not sure how media can be so positive about a 1000 studio team in an expensive city that makes 1 game a decade with half that in the red, nut oh Japan Studio doesnt make a ton of money but we get like 5 games a gen from them
Makes zero sense. But i think it will change with the switch 2. Theyll definitely need to bring to more screens with the switches prices going to weed out alot of that customer base
They need to make +$4 billion on this game. Need to show why they were bought other than just draining resources. It’ll be 10 years til their next game
Still waiting for some JRPGs to hit. Call Square and get something like the Bouncer. They are never gonna use it. This feels like stuff they got for pennies
Media the past year screaming about exclusives being bad. Nintendo announces a number of exclusives. Media screaming how exclusives are awesome and its great for nintendo and the industry
Is anyone dedicated to the switch even into these types of games. The hardware also for time being isnt going to be accessible in the states and overall is very overpriced. I dont see this finding people on nintendo at all
Well even nintendo is pushing for all digital. I’ll just have ti start holding off on day one purchases all around. Most western devs already not making stuff of any interest. Its most egregious as nintendos games are so cheap to make and dont need the price hike
Alot of the switch threat was just heavily neutered. Game prices 80/90 dollars and the hardware is no longer a cheap family friendly option which got a lot of users because of. They will lose alot of family sales and people buying as a secondary console to ps/xbox/pc
Switch 1 thrived because it was such a low cost barrier to entry. They definitely losing the younger generations and people buying 3-5 switches. The youth will further pushed towards the free to play titles
And with that, i can say i zero interest in a From game. Also better see IGN and the rest damning the practice of exclusives becauses its so bad right? Is Bravely Default remaster exclusive because Square would be the ultimate hypocrites as well
@neillaw @RoomWithaMoose absolutely agree. Watch gameplay and make decision yourself or find an independent you trust more for their more honest thoughts.
@Kierant202 respectfully, critic scores mean nothing to some people in today’s world as they are paid off or get social brownie points for having certain elements in their games whether beneficial or destructivr
They out games no one wants anywhere outside of Sea of Thieves. Shame hifi rush sold so few but who the heck wanted Grounded, a pc style game in AOE, and no one absolutely no one was ever interested in pentiment
@Americansamurai1 would be nice. I doubt Bandai is ever gonna do anything with them. Those are games i really want them to target with big japan pubs. Like the Bouncer with square or something. Your not gonna put the money to bring it forward. Let us do it for u and take some cash
Have digimon already, wonder if that means more news on the newest one is coming soon. Robocop i always heard good things about but was never compelled to buy it
Eastern devs making games people want to play and have fun doing so. Like 90% of the games i play are from them and the upcoming slate of western games including all of Sony’s 1st party are so unappealing
So games that had previously came to Ps and sold very well are bringing new games that are selling very well. And big name titles being brought to a new audience are selling well? Odd aint it
@Skeletor85 i dont think the western devs are pushing max profit by doing that. Just look at bioware, rocksteady and concord’s devs to name how it turn out for them. Ubisoft soon gonna go under for their part
@Kienda glad to see someone hit the nail on the head. And yeah developers really should take note on all the aspects outside of just how the character looks
@LavenderShroud gonna be alot more closings, especially in the western market. Alot of chasing on live service still showing its affects, and generally significantly less appealing games to the market from them with bloated budgets. I imagine Ubisoft will have much more shakeups and downsizing to come
