The problem with SE is their marketing has been very shit of late. I almost skipped Guardians of the Galaxy because of how generic the trailers made it seem and I am glad I didn't. But I don't think this will be another Guardians situation though. And yea, I doubt SE is delaying it cause of GoW. If anything, it got delayed cause of Call of Duty MW2 and Overwatch 2 releasing around that time. But overall, I don't see it being very successful. |
It feels like SE's marketing Div is completely dethatched from reality from their Dev Div, because the devs know what's in the game and how it looks/runs, yet their marketing is like "this looks fine, we'll do it live", and they do it live and well... it looks like PS3 era visuals/combat, and like you said they are charging 70 for this which for a new IP that looks this dated is a bit insano in the braino.
I think Guardians is the one IP that's managed to escape unscathed in terms of sales/consumer praise.
I'm in the same boat, I really don't see that IP being successful, like at all. We have seen some female protag games do well before, but I don't think Forespoken is gonna be one of those, I feel like it's gonna be more like ME "my face is tired" type (I'm also fully expecting the PC port to run like garbage or demand far more power, like Chaos did).
