The overwatch hate on this site was absurd. I was labeled crazy for thinking it could compete with cod (already 10 million in 2 weeks, still has the summer as a head start). I was told that I was supporting bad business practices by buying a $40 cash grab with no story. It wasn't until I saw this thread (where people congratulate a $40 price tag for a 10 hour story), that I confirmed this site has a huge bias towards single player games. not hating on recore, just had to point out the hypocrisy |
When it comes to single player games they tend to have more development effort thrown in even though you might get less game time on an hourly basis, as there is more than just a dozen maps and some characters being focused on.
You need significantly more voice acting, motion capture, scripting, art, sound bytes, story writers, and then build large set-pieces, cinematics etc'.
And development budgets will typically be higher too.
I still believe Overwatch was overpriced for what you got, it was $100 AUD. - Ignoring the hours of replay value some managed to gain from it.
Free content? I am a PC gamer, it's something I come to expect, whether a developer/publisher gives it to me or not, so not a selling point I'm afraid.
Re-Core will be $50 AUD, which is half the price of Overwatch here, to me that's a bloody bargain and there will be more of a "game".
