The only way is up.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
It best be hitting 8+ review scores and hitting 60fps on current-gen titles to ask for that pricetag.
I believe one of the reasons Helldivers 2 is such a hit is the price tag. Other companies might want to pay attention. It's also a lot easier to expand your audience with a palatable price tag that will make it an easier sell for newcomers to give it a try.
They tried to be the good guys. But when everyone else is gauging the prices up and getting away with it, they were always going to follow suit in the end. This is always what happens when people don’t stand up for themselves. You would think we’d understand this by now. Not in just the gaming industry but in every industry.
The old game was worth 70$ I played it a ton
I will buy at this price point, AFTER the reviews. Frankly, the smart play is to buy it 2-3 months after release. You get the price discount AND the patch updates before playing. I only play my games once, so I want the best experience.
