2XKO (2025)

[The Mad Titan]

Feels like the dawn of a third golden age breh


Just need a rollback/crossplay 3D fighter to round it out and we're in there

Tekken 8 or VF might drop in this time and then the cypher will be complete

i believe Killer Instinct did that, but then had to buy season passes for other characters. I think that model is fair and hope this game has some type of founder pack to get the original characters

That's correct. The reason I referenced DOA instead of KI is that DOA is the only AAA budgeted fighter to ever do it, whereas KI was maybe AA at best. I'm really hoping SF6 takes this approach. I think with the roster, the single player stuff, easier to get into but harder to master gameplay, and the various QoL improvements they can move at least 10M copies. But if they make it a tiered F2P I could see that number easily doubling.

No one wants to hear it but anything that relies on a large and strong community should be F2P. Fighting games are intimidating enough without also having the upfront price tag. Unless the game is SF, MK, Smash, or Tekken, it's best to accept the fact that the game will probably go F2P at some point. I'd prefer it if there was a compromise such as the player can decide to buy the game for $60 to get the entire base roster, $90 to get the entire base roster and the first year costumes, or go in on the F2P way with a couple of rotating characters and buy what they want a la carte.

Seems like Japan is scared to do it because if it fails they know they can’t go back to 60-70$ per game, since they diminished the brand. They should be looking at some kind of model that is F2P but base it on a old or new IP before making the jump. It’ll be interesting to see with the FG in the pipeline if they release some kind of core pack mid cycle.

I do feel fighting games are in a weird spot since the genre is intimidating and many skip over them unless easy to pick up like smash and MK. I do think making F2P fighting games have a lot of potential, but hope they don't implement battlepasses because that is starting to become a turnoff for me

 

[Red Shield]

Looks liek F2P fighting games are here to stay outside of street fighter and Mortal Kombat, sad

Pretty much means no one else will be able to sell a premium fighter

This is the only f2p fighting game I can think of tho

This is the only f2p fighting game I can think of tho

Killer Instinct was as well, but I'm not surprised their f2p, every big title they've done is f2p

Low-key, I'm bout to see if my homie at Riot can get me on the beta or some shyt when it's announced

 

[Phillyrider807]

I appreciate the update but this just tells me the game is still very far off. Probably late 2023/early 2024. But everything this game has shown has looked great.

[Benjamin Sisko]

I hope Lucian is in it

 

[xiceman191]

Looks promising. A mix of mvci and bbtag

 

[Deafheaven]

This shyt alreaady looks better than strive.

 

[Batsute]

I hope Lucian is in it

They saw the potential that mvci squandered and made there move.




MVCI gameplay was amazing.

MVCI was a good game. its cast and graphics was just so unappealing it failed.


mvci was a wayyyyyy better fg than the shyt we have now tbh

 

[Phillyrider807]

This shyt is still nameless??? 2024 release confirmed smh.

It looks very promising though.

As others have already said the core gameplay of mvci is very good. Everything else about that game was garbage, This looks like a polished version of mvci. And thats not a bad thing.
