I'm keeping my eye on this. I think the game will be forgotten in a few months, but some other posters think this game is going to have a consistently high player count average over 3 months. We will see.

TGGJustin629d ago

I mean Friday the 13th still has a pretty good player count even 6 years later and despite not getting new content.

anast629d ago

It has an average of 314 players in the last 30 days. It's not good.

ModsDoBetter629d ago (Edited 629d ago )

Exactly.

I'm sure @anast is the person I had this exact disagreement with on another thread.

For some reason they only think F13 is played solely on Steam and a thriving community in a year's old game where support was stopped is a bad thing.

They seem to compare that to this new title and that this will be dead within weeks or months, zero logic.

This game will do just fine.

TGGJustin629d ago

@anast So you're only looking at PC? I play it all the time on PS still and I'm always finding matches and new people. Pretty sure it was in the top selling ps4 games in July too once again. It may not have 100,000 people playing but who the hell cares. Point is you can always find people to play with 6 years later and that's all that matters

XxSPIDEYxX629d ago

About time Dead by Daylight got some serious competition.

anast629d ago (Edited 629d ago )

I hope so. But keeping an average 30k like Dead is going to be hard to do with a game centered around one niche and specific IP. TCM would have sold well if they went in the single-player-survival direction, but of course it would have been way more work to come up with unique survival mechanics and so on.

LabRat629d ago

@anast it doesn't need 30k lol. As long as everyone can consistently find a match and the game is fun, it will be playable for a long time. I think you are the only person stressed with this.

anast629d ago

@ lolLabrat

Thank you for offering your quasi-phycological slant, but it is useless to the argument. Then again it does match your "lol". So, there is some consistent markers in the way you think more so than what I feel.

Once again, I am saying this game will be forgotten in a few months, which I will be correct. The argument isn't whether or not 1 or two people will enjoy it. It is that it will be a dusty ghost-town of an always online game. Yes, people can enjoy ghost towns, but more people enjoy cities.

TGGJustin629d ago

Exactly. People acting like these games need to be topping the most played charts to be relevant. All that matters is enough people are playing that you can find a match to play when you want. You can still do that on F13 so this game could go that route too if people dig it

anast629d ago

TGG

People are acting like games are cheap to make and maintain.

LabRat629d ago (Edited 629d ago )

@analst - I admit I had to look up your vocabulary, and phycology is the study of algae, so I was even more confused. Good job though on trying to sound smart.

Yesssss. Been wanting to give Robocop a whirl! Getting 80's nostalgia-slammed this month it seems, I guess I'll give Texas Chainsaw Massacre a shot too. Dad had me watching that stuff at like 7 years old back in the 80's. XD Game on!

TheEroica40d ago

Playing it now on steam deck. It was 9.99 recently. It's wonderful. Love it.

isarai40d ago

I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised with Robocop, one of my favorite games this gen

VenomUK40d ago

I heard that it's really good. Too many games but I will definitely give this a go as it seems actioney and I will be able to play in small chunks.

jznrpg40d ago

RoboCop and Digimon are good games. I don’t know much about Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I ffigured it was a multiplayer game and wrote it off.

Elda40d ago

I got rid of my copy of Robocop after finishing the game. Now I can get it through Plus to play the dlc releasing this summer.

darthv7240d ago

Robocop is bad ass... so good i had to get it twice.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre Dev Addresses The Game Leaving Xbox Game Pass

The game's community has been in an uproar lately over its Game Pass expiration date.

From the dev

"Game Pass is a great program, especially for small teams like ours that are trying to push relatively new genres forward. It removes so many barriers to entry for players, and enables them to sample a variety of games and genres they may otherwise never touch. Some may not find horror multiplayer for them, but we found so many new players there. And while a great many subscribers use the program to "graze," we've got an active and loyal player base that's been there since launch on all platforms. And we'll see a lot of Game Pass players convert to paid--especially since they get a discount from Xbox to do so. That's a pretty cool deal if you ask me.

We’ve enjoyed our time within the Game Pass ecosystem and who knows, maybe we’ll enter back into it again in the future. Being one of the most popular games in Game Pass this last year and winning the Xbox Excellence Award is usually a good sign that a game will not only return to that program, but also has a strong future full of new content and experiences. Bloody, gory, fun experiences. See you in Texas."

I think this is just a gamble from GUNS to see if some people will buy the game at full price (- 20%)on Xbox to keep stats, progress, and DLC.
(it's currently 70% off on PS5).
Don't be surprised if the game comes back in October or appear on PS+.

anast269d ago

Everyone knew this game was going to struggle. Another waste of a staple horror IP.

Petebloodyonion269d ago

The game is performing well and maintains a robust player base. They have just announced the content for year two.

anast269d ago

998.7 ...That's the average player base.

Profchaos269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

Sounds like they wanted to build a fanbase and pull out of gp with the hopes of getting some actual sales
