I love fighting games but I've just become less interested in picking any up just cause I know it will be riddled with paid DLC/season characters one after another. I completely understand why this way is done and works really well rather than when Capcom released variations of the same game with some bundled characters included back in Gen 7. I'd love it if every fighting game released 2 physical versions; the first is the original at launch, and the next is the complete, letting gamers know there wont be anymore added characters for those that want a complete version.
My issue is how toxic fighting games are. I literally had one match in the beta. I used Iron's man ranged attacks and then his ult to slowly finish someone off with barely any health who was just standing in the back corner blocking. We both didn't have much life. He then follows me around the arcade area just to message me lame. Apparently I'm lame for using Iron man the way he should be used instead of coming at the person just blocking in the corner. I have to engage with the game the way people want instead of the way I want to. On Xbox 360 I got warned once simply for winning matches in SF. I never talked or said anything but I was getting reported so much I got warned.
I was in a room in Mortal Kombat 9. My main in the MK games is Kitana, and I had a 5-game winning streak. People were bitching at me because I didn't play the way they wanted and was winning.
Exactly. I don't get what it is about fighting games that just bring out the worst in people. You have to play in some exact what that they deem worthy or they get mad.
Probably going to have 2 season passes to bring it to 36 or 40 down the road.
I hope we can get at least a cameo team from Sony IPs.
Such a baffling decision to not release this on every console possible. Fighting games are mostly a pretty niche genre with a few exceptions. It's going to seriously hurt sales not releasing this on switch and Xbox.
switch an xbox are not massive portions of the fgc community. you can see that with any crossplay game. there would be more players, but not a lot more. the xbone generation lost xbox all the ground it had in the fgc and then some.
No one in the FGC is going to go by an Xbox or NS2 to play this game...
However, its impossible to calculate hype and word of mouth that will be missing from a lack of a wide net or how many people would buy this game but wouldn't by a console just to play it.
Nearly every one of the biggest games the last few years has been multiplat
But tbh, I couldnt care less lol
Realistically it may be planned for Switch but may be in development. It will come to Xbox too if the demand is there. Microsoft may just need to reach out. This is a Live Service game so Sony will put it where it makes sense.
PC + PlayStation audience is 200m+, I don't think there will be a lack of hype. Most of the S2 audience likely have another console.i would say S2 should be a no brainer down the road but now Sony have a portable planned, maybe they may want to hang onto exclusivity a bit longer.
The Fgc is an insignificant minority of people that actually by these games. It's the average people that make games profitable
For sure, I just remember MK supposedly selling well on Switch.
Though I dont intend to play this unless it comes to PS Plus some day
MK11 sold like over 15 mil by 2022, while T7 sold just under 12 by 2024 apparently, T7 was released 2 years earlier. Not only that, MK 11 Evo players in 2022 was less than Tekken 7.
More casual players play MK.
The fgc are categorically the people playing the games. fighting games are still live services through and through and there's a population that supports the games for ytears and buys all the dlc, and its not the poeple that playm offlien for a few hours and neever again. Ultimately you can look at tekken 8 and how the xbox players even at launch were a single digit percentage of the people playing online.
I think the majority of people fall somewhere in between playing for a couple of hours and playing religiously. I enjoy fighting games casually. I like trying out all the characters, playing a few rounds with friends from time to time, I'll get the dlcs etc. But I do not care about competive play, frame data, tournaments, perfecting combos etc. I think most people fall into this category.
Sony paid for its development, and based on the Marvel license and sales of DBFZ, it's going to be big for Sony. I could see Bandai Namco making a deal down the road to publish it on Switch 2, but not in the immediate future.
Guilty Gear Strive launched 15 and then season passes (as is standard now in fighting games) so I expect the same so 20 is decent. I just hope we get a few out there characters, none of this MCU or already popular characters stuff (or worse, what MaxDood basically listed as just Marvel Rivals lineup, god no). We need Shatterstar, Diamondback, Bishop, X-man, Black Knight, Songbird, Night Thrasher.
