1) They worked on the game and it was running just fine, as they stated to the media several times, but then why they changed the project in the middle of it and abandoned what was done before and what was promised? The sales forecast excuse is a sick one since the possibility of sales would be much higher on the devices with a bigger install base. 2) That wasn´t the case. They had the money, more than enough. So much that they changed the entire planning to work on "next-gen" (at the time of development) platforms. No serious company with a short or uncertain budget would do that and throw away hundreds of hours of hard work on something that was actually working well. 3) There´s no real source that confirms who gave more money. The only actual fact we have is that the intention or purchasing was a lot higher for the WiiU than for other devices, what may be an indication that WiiU owners took a great part in that funding. The WiiU version was woking just fine before they decided to change the entire planning for the new platforms. Again, they had more than enough money. The PC version sold horribly,, by the way. It´s still a very unprofessional attitude, and disrespectful with their consumers. I´m done here. |
1) sales forecast is perfectly valid, third party games sell like trash regardless of how great they are. Just look at Bayonetta 2.
2) why move onto next gen despite having a low budget? Not only do you have more power to work with (to make a better game), the audience on both platforms heavily supports third party making the risk worth it.
3) they themselves stated in an interview that the game was funded mostly by pc gamers. This was actually after the Wii u cancellation to remind people that their main platform concern has always been pc, not PS3/Xbox 360/wii u.
at the end of the day, they are a business. They did something unfavorable, but it was needed to avoid more costs. I'm also done here. We've derailed from the main topic too much.
