Sorry Alan Wake 2. I won’t download Epic to play you. I want to play with you, but that’s asking too much.
I hope you stop being exclusive someday. But by the time that happens, I’ll have probably forgotten about you. If you’re lucky, I might remember and pick you up on sale.
For a long time, I wanted to get a PS5 or “the new xbox”, whatever the heck it was named. I was in a big box store and saw what I thought was one of the new ones when they were still hard to find. But, I had no cell signal in the store, so I couldn’t look up info on it. I couldn’t verify if it was the new one, or the old one, since their stupid naming scheme was so arbitrary and hard to remember if you weren’t already in their ecosystem. I didn’t buy it, and later found the one I saw was the newest one. I ended up eventually finding and buying a PS5. I doubt I am the only one, but even if so, they did not make a sale to one person because of their stupid naming scheme. With Playstation system naming, there is no confusion.
We’ll see tomorrow, but I’m not convinced this wasn’t all planned. Negative marketing is a thing, and if they had assets left over from earlier development, it would have been a cheaper trailer to make. People are talking about how absurd the trailer was, and that’s a far, far better marketing result than apathy.
According to SteamDB at the time of this writing, the all-time peak player count for Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs on PC has yet to reach the game’s 64-player quota. Only 52 players have ever been recorded to be playing the game on Steam simultaneously since its debut
And the funny part is that because they refuse to fund medium sized projects that could lead to potential new or revitalized franchises, they keep running what they have further into the ground and then leaving things for dead instead of listening to the fandom and fixing issues.
I don’t think anyone asked for Rebirth to be a “bigger”, “better”, open world game… Intergrade seemed to strike a really good balance for a lot of people.
Squenix is so busy sticking to risky projects that it thinks are safe bets, while interpreting every underperforming title as sign of fans not being interested. It’s like they think there’s no money to be made unless the entire planet is playing the game.
I’m a little suspicious of a Fable made by anybody other than Lionshead and especially a studio that primarily makes racing games. I’ve been wanting a new Fable since forever, so I hope it’s good but I’m prepared for it not to be.
