The challenges of bringing triple-A to iOS

Making a triple-A game for iOS means more than changing the control scheme. Developers need a whole new design mindset to really make it work.

I think this is the reason .99 games do so well on the app store. It's not that people are cheap (well, not entirely), I think it's that people realize the games might not necessarily hook them for long enough to warrant $5 or whatever.

Not saying I agree with the practice or anything, just saying it's a theory.

SybaRat4824d ago

It's such a low barrier to entry that even if it sucks, who cares? You only spent a buck. What did you expect for a buck...Uncharted 2?

THR1LLHOUSE4824d ago

Right, and as the author says here, the AAA games don't necessarily work all that well, so when I can by 5 games for the same price as one, some of which might be good, why risk all that money on one that probably won't be?

Sweet. I loved Liberty City Stories despite the city being empty. Those main story missions were tough but fun.

ZycoFox602d ago

Both Stories games were far better than GTA 3 IMO, VCS being the best and most enjoyable though.

If you want to remain relevant you need a mobile powerhouse. MS got Minecraft, maybe King soon, T2 got Zynga, EA got Glu, Tencent got most of the other big ones.

Sony is likely looking for one too or they will be left behind.

Vengeance1138791d ago

Sony already owns the #2 highest grossing mobile game ever in Fate/Grand Order.
That game is close to Genshin Impact levels of monthly revenue.

Lifexline792d ago

Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.

darthv72792d ago

Angry Sonic, Angry Tails, Angry Amy, Angry Knuckles, Angry Chaos....

Lifexline792d ago

Lol yeah you would be surprised at what could sell. I could see it.

porkChop791d ago

Angry Taxi might actually work.

blackblades792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Looks like something MS would grab. I wont be surprised some how ms gets Sega with this included magically.

-Foxtrot791d ago

We could fund more games like Sonic Mania

We could buy the music rights back to Sonic 3

We could reboot some old franchises like Ristar, Shinobi, Gunstar Heroes or Golden Axe

...Nah. Angry Birds it is

Snookies12792d ago

Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.

darthv72792d ago

I didn't know they did a bunch of stuff prior to Angry Birds:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Pretty much everything since has been a spin off. Now maybe Sega will make Angry Chaos or something similar.

FallenAngel1984792d ago

Mojang only made one game and Microsoft still purchased them for $4 billion

Sometimes one property is all you need especially when it’s lucrative

MadLad791d ago

Angry Birds fell out of relevance years ago, but whatever they want to do lol.
