They’re obtaining money through a very simple threat: “You won’t get the full roster (yeah, because if it’s planned before release, then it’s the full thing) unless you pay us EXTRA”.
Smash Bros is also the only fighting game on the entire platform and it can guarantee that nearly everyone who owns said console will buy it. It’s not a fair comparison. Capcom has tons of competition, they gotta make sure it’s profitable. It sucks on our end but that’s business.
do people actually care about or anticipate this? game looks like garbage. regardless of that, why would it matter to anyone that other people care about it? there’s tons of garbage that ends up popular so it shouldn’t really come as a surprise if there are people that will eat it up.
i could understand casuals swayed by simply the marvel logo itself, but i’d expect anyone who’s remotely serious about fighters to have a very high dose of skepticism towards the new marvel, yes. if you don’t, then that’s fine, i’m not really here to argue as it doesn’t really concern me, either way.
yes, it is, which is why i’d repeat the same thing i said above. despite any pull power of the brands, that shouldn’t matter to anyone serious/competitive about fighters as it’s a non-factor to gameplay. it doesn’t really matter, at any rate.
Not to mention that most of the returning character’s assets in this game are directly recycled from UMvC 3, including Mega Man X himself by simply using Zero’s alternate costume & making some tweaks…
Haven’t full scale COMPLETELE action titles like Horizon, Nioh, Metal gear Solid, Uncharted and NieR completely debunked this theory that games cost more to make??
A fighting game doesn’t need nearly as many resources as an Uncharted title. And yet Uncharted dlc is useless, and the full game is a complete product. What say you?
We don’t know how much Nier’s development cost but the game isn’t getting meaningful DLC because they don’t have the budget for it
Nioh has been in development for over ten years. It will be tough to track just how much money was spend back when it was announced as a PS2 game to what it became.
According to this, Uncharted 4 is Sony’s biggest investment in a single game. You can only imagine how much dough Sony dropped on it.
I look at my copies of KOF XIV and TTT2, before replying to this.
Hell no, this is why I never bought SFxT, this is why SFxT was dead on arrival, on disk DLC is never ok, if the DLC isn’t developed after the game is finished I’m not even buying the base game because buying a game with stuff cut out of it is being ripped off, plain and simple.
Capcom can go forth and recreate if they think they getting away with that bs.
Where that on-disc dlc idea comes from? It wasn’t the case with SFV already.
Look at SFV. If they released the game with the season 1 on it, we would have a whole year with nothing new but stages and costumes. Ono said on an interview that season 2 was pretty much guaranteed, because they have to work on it a year in advance, so season 3 would rely on season 1 success, so they could start working on it this year for a 2018 release.
It’s not a cash grab decision, it’s how development works to keep a constant flow of content coming.
SFV is a tough example because there was more fuck ups coming out than content though.
