[IGN] ‘Half-Sequels’ Like Uncharted Lost Legacy Are The Future

[Gizmo_Duck]

Someone is going to get greedy and try to charge full price for these type of releases. It’s only a matter of when and who.

They alreaddy charging us to play games ‘early’ so…

Its up to the market to decide if its worth it. Nintendo charged 60 dollars for Metroid Dread and that game is like 7 hours long to beat at most. I will gladly hand over 50 dollars for a 8-10 hour experience like Miles

The better you were at arcade games the worse value they became

the opposite really. if you sucked you were steady pumping quarters into the machine. when you got good, you could play mad long on one quarter

 

[Pressure]

Outside of your annual COD/Madden joints and Ass Creesds, the prices have not been the price. Not sure why sure why you delude yourself to think otherwise.

This isn't even English.

So its either the game creates artificial difficulty to make sure you don’t beat it or you do beat it within 20 minutes

Either way the value was never comparable to what we get today for practically the same price

you had to get good to beat it. that took time

Contra just isn't a good example. I remember renting Rygar and beating it in one night. but it took me weeks to beat Contra without the code

Back then every game was an indie rogue lite

They need to just stop playing with half measures and go back to mid budget "AA" games which is basically what these "half-sequels" are. This is basically what ps2, xbox and 360 libraries were full of.

Yeah, i means its kind of true. I thnk the difference is they are using the assets from the bigger games to make shorter games that still have AAA production value.

I think its harder to make short games with that level of quality and polish because it takes such much R&D

And every other system's library before them as well.

Ok then…let this be a bridge into the next saga. Maybe Egypt

People play 2k year after year. literally the same game but a new story
Lost legacy is not any different

Let’s be honest, MM/LL has far more stuff new than a typical 2k/FIFA game, and it still cost less

And I'll continue to wait until the price drops. I'm not paying 70 dollars for a 10 hour game.

This….. no man the wiser….. as they say in Oman
