Prices came out (Japan anyway). So this isn't a $60 game with a $40-$50 season pass, this will be a $40-$50 game with a $20-$30 season pass. Which is pretty good considering it costs $100 to get everything in Injustice, Marvel, Dragonball, ($150?) if you grabbed SFV at launch, $90 for Guilty Gear, insert other games here.
In fairness to KI, being console exclusive killed it. If you could play it on PS4, I think you'd see a strong community for it. Marvel died (I know it still has other majors, but let's not pretend like it's in a good place) because of decisions made by Disney (I'm putting the blame squarely on Disney, not Capcom) that anyone could have seen were going to hurt sales.
Agreed! I would have looooooved to play KI during its lifespan, but I play on PS4 and that hurts. Hopefully in the future if another is made, it will be on both consoles. We can only dream.
It's possible, I think Killer Instinct got the SFV deal with Microsoft. It's just that the SFV deal was going to dictate which console was supported by the FGC and the KI deal dictated what some people decided to buy when the two consoles came out
That photo I posted at the start of this thread was from the GFs for Battle for the Stones, what was supposed to be the biggest Marvel event this year. If that's not dead, I don't know what is
Just to be sure, is this the amount of people during the finals of the event and not at the beginning when everyone is can still kinda late? Because that might change the whole conclusion of this. Not saying it isn't true, just wanna be 100% sure.
To be honest, not sure. I just grabbed the picture off of Twitter. There's also the caveat that SFV was so ridiculous this year that why would you bother going to watch Marvel? What I'm mainly getting at is we can't act like Marvel is still a thriving game and this is a huge travesty.
True, but another thing to point out is that the MVCi touneys have shit support from their own team. They treat the ppl competing like shit, and that also plays a big impact as well. Overall, virtually NOBODY cares to see this game grow. Whereas, Injustice 2...AT LEAST the tournament contestants are treated fairly, and still have hype in the competitive circuit. Which i feel is the reason why they barely got a spot, even if its on Saturday, they have a spot.
they backpedaled and gave us 2 free DLC so the FGC is appeased now.
Yeah it was during the finals people didn't bother watching it and went to watch SFV instead but tbf the tournament was a shit show and pretty confusing.
They announced 2 free DLCs, that's not why people chilled out about the 20 character DLC and small roster. What I was getting at anyway
Honestly, no one's really mentioned MK11 -- I think this is just a natural lull after the Pro Tour ended. Especially since the tour was so compressed, everyone deserves a break afterwards.
For sure, I wouldn't be shocked if things picked up once we start getting more majors. But what I was getting at is that the MK content we've been putting up has consistently gotten much more attention/interaction than the Injustice stuff. To be fair though, I've only been paying attention to that stuff for a month, it very well may just be how it has always been
So true about IJ2, but yeah the MVCI scene does seem to indeed go down the hill due to the reasons @JBeezYBabY and @HellblazerHawkman mentioned.
^This.
