After its latest games didn't meet sales targets, Square Enix is going multiplatform but the company's track record isn't convincing.
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
SE needs to go all in optimization. Broken PC ports won't help its case, especially with big releases like mainline Final Fantasy
It's actually simple. What doesn't inspire confidence is Square allocating their budgets on the wrong projects such as Forspoken, Avengers, Babylons Fall and Foamstars.
Square has always been multiplatform since PS3/360 days which 80 % of their games are. People kick up a fuss over PS exclusivity but not Nintendo which has more exclusive projects console exclusive from Square.
FF16 has done ok but not enough to fix the blunders that the past mistakes Square has made with some of their projects. FF7 Rebirth is unclear we'll see a PC release for sure so it's hard to say so far not as good as they would of liked.
Then again unrealistic expectations. If it weren't for Sony these games would at least had another 2 years development time. So some people need to be realistic in that regard.
Square Enix just really need to revise its expectations. Maybe consider a change in strategy on dev end as well. Multiplat will help for sure but only good games that are marketed well will sell
It obviously would have been Heretic/Hexen. With the resurgence of DOOM, Wolfenstein, and "Boomer Shooters" in general, it's a good time to bring back these older franchises. Same with Quake and Unreal.
We need a sequel to singularity. It was really a fun inventive game. Hopefully Raven doesn’t continue to get stuck with Call of Duty anymore.
Raven is a great studio. Hopefully now, they can move onto something different. A studio that was getting stuck with ten years of Call of Duty stuff, must of sucked.
Heretic is the number one game I'd love a reboot of, less Hexen more Hereitc though, more fast pace with lots of weapons. Love a reboot/remaster of Heretic 2, thats a game you cant find these days in a store
