Am I being dumb for getting my hopes up on a DOOM single player expansion?

It feels like they would have announced it six months ago

Doom got a permanent 50% price cut at one point because so many copies were sold so id imagine they gonna do doom2 but its too early unless its like a glorified level pack that outgrew being dlc

Splatoon 2 seems like its gonna have a lot more single player focus


Arms looks better than first impression but i'm not excited by 1v1 matches having health and bombs fall randomly like smash and that one power that blinds the opponent is going to be really annoying. Looks like it has tons of content though.

Jimbot posted:

That stuff is on its way out, thank goodness. But I see it being replaced by Battle Royale-style games. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds shows that there's a market for those kind of games and I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of those pop-up. It's only a matter of time before a big Publisher jumps on that bandwagon. Seems like a perfect fit for Ubisoft. Wouldn't be surprised if that was a multiplayer mode for a Far Cry game.

Nah that was because they didn't sell very well and Final Fantasy did

Yeah deus ex sold less than half of human revolution and hitman couldnt even do over 650,000 copies on steam so square said "hmm instead of putting endings in our games or releasing them when they are finished, lets just not make them"

Viewtiful Jew posted:

The remake also has the eternal problem of the fact that no matter whether or not the new battle system works out, there will still be a large section of people upset they didn't stick to turn-based. Like they wanted basically FF7, but with the most advanced graphics possible, but with the same game-play they remember, but also the game-play is improved enough to feel like a AAA modern game.

A fully open-world and totally linear experience w/carefully crafted set pieces.

Not only that but like when cloud doesnt talk the way they imagined at age 13 they are gonna flip

Fuckin' hell Squeenix. You bring back two of my favorite franchises from the early 2000s in Deus Ex and Hitman (And Thief, but that game caused me more harm than Pol Pot's reign in Cambodia), make them really good... then kill them so you can cover the costs of your over-budget, over-hyped Japan projects that have been in development now for years.

The newest deus ex was like 1/3rd of the games story, they had a terrible preorder campaign, a bad microtransaction scheme, and a useless vr mission mode instead of more content. The dlc levels were obviously removed from the game too. They hosed the game up extremely badly

SE has such an incredible lineup of IPs and it's kind of insane they can't find a way to make things like Deus Ex, Hitman, or Thief work financially. I think they also were underwhelmed by Tomb Raider's sales even though it revitalized a dead rear end joke franchise into GOTY conversations. Looking forward to SE exclusively releasing freemium FF games by 2027 with the rest of their IP appearing only on pachinko machines.

They should have gone mid tier on deus ex and thief, put them out on pc with console ports later if they caught on. Going all in on these franchises seems foolish in hindsight, doubly so with deus ex where they couldnt even be bothered to finish the game after spending so much to plan a trilogy

Ineffiable posted:

Honestly don't they actually make more money off console ports? The playerbase on xbox/playstation is so far larger that most games sell well on the consoles by default. Especially during the first month, which we know is already the most important.

My thinking is that its extra cost that leads to even more unrealistic sales expectations, especially for a series that has been known as a pc game first with questionable interest on console

All i want at e3 is new game announcements

Only sony understands this

Ms packing their show with 10 topics; hardware, subscription service, the same tired games since 2014, and some new games punctuated with embarrassing executive speeches is always a dog turd feast.

Sony 2016 e3 and psx were just hype hype hype

It's been a long time but does Sony still have such a grasp on Destiny that Microsoft can't even legally market it on Xbox? I remember back in the day they did that perfume ad about Destiny and got in poo poo for it.

ARMS is a new IP. They're literally coming up with a brand new IP and it comes out in like two weeks.

He probably objects to nintendo trying to copy the splatoon formula in other genres instead of making more diverse things:

Bright color 3rd person
Singular theme taken as far as it can go: paint/arms
Vs focused
Etc.

But this is business son. They gotta play the hot hand

if you want to include exclusives that Nintendo published: Wonderful 101, Pocket Card Jockey, Boxboy, Harmoknight, Dillon's Rolling Western, Bravely Default and Tokyo Mirage Sessions

E3 is not usually the home of new IP reveals though unless it is just a small part of a larger presentation or an indie dev. E3 is usually The Sequel Zone

They just recently announed theyre working on an original IP and plan to start self publishing small titles.

Yeah they have worked for years to maje other companies money with no thanks or characters of their own to show for it.

Same reason why from is unlikely to print money for bandai namco with a dark souls 4.

They want to own what they work on
