A little surprising but the game looks amazing. Too bad PS3 users are going to miss it.

Umm I'm not defending any console or anything, but it's timed exclusive, much like majority of third part Summer of Arcade games.. However sometime it takes a couple of years for it to arrive on the PS3 (ie Castle Crashers)

Daavpuke4794d ago

I like the term 'timed exclusive' because it means it's not exclusive at all, still for promotional reasons it's pegged as such. Now, in the case of Castle Crashers, PVZ and such where it takes years to reach the platform, I could see the issue. But hopefully it will only be a few months until it releases on PC (Steam?), as the developers stated so themselves. Then it's just a matter of exerting some patience.

They really mean they are pivoting to slot machines on mobile devices.

I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.

I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.

And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.

so dumb haha.

Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."

LOGICWINS168d ago

"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.

You have a terrible taste in games

-Foxtrot168d ago

I feel like their whole approach relies on how the Suicide Squad sells

Oh great, looking forward to the sh*t future of gaming. Thanks industry!

New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...

FatalityX77168d ago

It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.

Sgt_Slaughter168d ago

I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games

PunksOnN4G168d ago

Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others

Flewid638167d ago

Wasn't the last one a live service game?

MehmetAlperTR167d ago

More live services.. LOL.. i hope you ll see the deep.
