And if it’s VR enabled ... well no more needs to be said, really.
It's a bit grim. Do not like
All we want is a remake of X-Wing and TIE Fighter!
As much as I'd love a re-make of XvT, it's not likely to happen again anytime soon. There's too much demand for a multiplayer game these days, plus they have to ensure it's accessible to console players and those who may be less familiar with more advanced flight-sim style gameplay. The X-wing missions on the BF2 expansion pack were brilliant, so again - I'm not too concerned about their ability to nail SW:Sqaudrons, assuming it follows the same recipe.
I have Sega mega drive carts with their price on. Sonic 2 had a price of £45 and was released in 1992.
Adjusted to today, that's £80 (source: https://www.inflationtool.com/british-pound/1992-to-present-value?amount=45)
It had a much smaller dev team than most games.
Would you be prepared to pay £80 for a video game? I would. Actually, for a full, well thought out experience such as Diablo 2, Final Fantasy 8, Skyrim, GTA I'd probably be prepared to go higher, on a promise of no mtx and any expansion will be charged far lower (I'd expect an expansion to be perhaps £15-£20 given they're generally about 1/4 the size of the full SP game).
I don't think most people would pay this, though. More and more games are doing the opposite - going free, but full of ads and mtx. Yukky...
Net result of that model, in my opinion, is a hodge podge, multiplayer focused game that focuses on addiction/"hits" rather than a well crafted single player experience.
There are, as ever, exceptions...
I'm still a cheapskate with modern games though, wait for second hand at under £15.
EDIT also I think Neo Geo games were £120ish. The stuff of dreams back then!
These days I rarely buy a game costing more than £25
It is interesting that many old games are more replayable than modern. Maybe I'm getting old!
Now going back to Horizon:ZD again as the DLC is only 4 quid and meant to be excellent.
Ghost of Tsushima and the new Paper Mario are both out tomorrow and reviewing well, so will likely try one of those next.
I really want to play The Last of Us 2 as well but wondering if it's a bit misery-fest for the current circumstances, and I'm assuming it'll be upgraded/upscaled or whatever on PS5 so no hurry.
