That Altered Beast game on PS2 certainly wasn't AAA or a success by any measure. Cutting edge in the 90s is very different than cutting edge today. The reason studios make less games now is because AAA games are much more complex and expensive. You have to consider that when you ask for a cutting edge Battletoads game today. I don't see this as a lesser form, its more like par for the course. Cult following doesn't mean this IP can sell many millions of units per se. Frankly, MS has other IPs that more people would like to see revived. If Battletoads were to get a AAA game, in my mind it would be a project similar to God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, etc. That's what a modern AAA beat em' up looks like to me these days. That would be interesting, but we didn't expect a AAA game nor was that hyped. Maybe in the future MS will work with Koei Tecmo to create a Battletoads Warriors game! That would be huge among the Battletoads fans in Japan... Frankly, I want Battletoads to get every type of game. Classic 2D beat em up, AAA game, Dynasty Warriors clone, a VR game, a kart racer, a party game, maybe an open world Grand Theft Battletoads and lastly they can make the World of Battletoads online MMO! I mean this IP is so huge and has so much potential, MS is just wasting it! Battletoads has the potential to be a Mario Bros killer! |
I'm a little confused, you say it shouldn't be an AAA because it wouldn't sell much, but then you say it have potential to be a Mario Killer.
I was wanting an AAA Battletoads. I didn't say Altered Beast was AAA (but certainly seemed a bigger project than this BattleToads, and closer to the top games of the time it released), but that I liked it while this idea for BattleToads I don't like much.
