I cant speak for everyone but in my case, i prefer if they give you an option to either just upgrade via patch like a season pass/upgrade dlc, buy the chars individually and buy a new disc release for $40.
I personaly prefer physical media, so i buy them when possible, specially if is a collectors edition since i love collecting art books.
That can be easily fixed by doing something like Xrd Revelator did, that allows you to revert the version you have between Rev2 and Revelator in a menu.
Is a matter of letting know the companies that you want that kind of options.
But lets be honest, most people prefer to play the newest version rather than staying with an old one.
It will be new yes, but at the same time, it will be unnecesary costly since they will have to work on new assets on a new engine. Is very likely that KOFXV will be on UE4 since KOFXIV was on a propietary engine and the 3d models while not bad (they actually look gorgeous in blender with better textures and lighting) werent well received.
Depending on how well their dev cycle has evolved, we probably wouldnt see a lot of returning chars on KOF XV due being a new game altogether. That or it will take more time.
And is almost 100% probable that they will have season passes and dlc for like 2 years even 3 if it does well since there is no reason for them not to do it.
It is cost effective for both the devs and the players.
So i assume you wouldnt be playing that either, with its season pass and dlc bullshit.
What about Season 3 of DBZ keeps you from using whatever previous version of it you had…? Pretty sure when developers release an entire new game, your previous game won’t work. Which is exactly part of what I’m criticizing.
Ok? But that’s not really what I’m talking about. I’m arguing against paying $60 for a whole new title that more acts like it’s a sequel than actually being a sequel. If you’re just adding a couple characters and barely doing any structural changes, why not just follow the update model? DBFZ has changed and added more to the game than I’ve seen in other full price fighting games parading around as a “sequel”.
To me the ideal way to do this has always been just giving us options. A physical with the new additions on the disc, or a paid digital update, or a character by character basis, so on and so fourth.
Well, you can’t without deleting patch data for DBFZ. I was never arguing you could. Again, I was making a case for update-style content in fighting games. Mostly in contradiction to Rukawa’s post earlier.
I mean, some games do have version select too tho. Was one of the cooler things about Ultra.
Ok but that’s what I am arguing against is the idea I need to keep a patch record of my games because they change 20 times in 2 years or whatever. They shouldnt be micro updating they should be saving it for a real update and it should be physical and digital and I’ll pay the price for it. As it stands old DBFZ is gone.
It’s cool when games have version select but its rare and probably always will be.
updates now are too frequent and I’d say unnecessary it’s my main complaint granblue has just come out and they already offering season passes and characters DLC. This new approach is one big turn off IMO.
I don’t expect for them to bring many new characters after all KOF XIV brought more than enough what I think they will do is refine the Gameplay,graphics, bring new movesets to charcaters, completely new stages and music,new boss,new characters and story. it will be a sequel not a mere update.
i really like granblue versus but im pretty sure at this point season 1 was supposed to be in the base game but then something happened and season 2 was supposed to be season 1. at least with cygames money and them being pleased with the asia sales it’ll prob get a couple of years of support +ps5 port.
Gonna be honest, i think you on the tiny minority here asking that games should be updated scarcely.
And the few updates being sold as physical and digital.
Tbh, it doesnt make sense.
Also one of the major complains about dbfz during s1 and 2 has been that it has only been updated 1 per season, so not really a good example.
