Reports Square Enix takes huge financial hit due to Marvel’s Avengers game

A lot of these GAAS joints gonna end up costing these greedy companies money.

 

[Prince Luchini]

I just saw this that's crazy

The game didn't look good to me personally but I still thought it would've did well off the marvel name alone.

I feel like you have to go out of your way to have a marvel game flop. That's bank off gp to me

 

[Drizzy Dre]

Yikes, I planned on purchasing after the “next gen” update. Hopefully that’s still coming...

 

[SmallWars]

Game looked boring from the outset.

Yeah, i think they said they were taking their time to fix it and make it as good as possible, same thing that happened to anthem and fallout 76.

Companies need to realize not everything is gonna be successful as destiny. I think those two new Batman games might end up in a similar postion

welp...

time for my monthly reminder of what Shawn said not too long ago.

"Another factor to take into consideration is the increased cost of next-generation game development. Shawn Layden, former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios, recently stated that AAA game development isn’t sustainable, suggesting that game length and pricing will need to be adjusted in the next video game console generation. According to Layden, the cost of development doubles with every new console generation, with current big-budget games costing between $80 million USD (about $108 million CAD) and $150 million USD (roughly $203 million CAD).

And square has been struggling for years and probably staked huge resources in this. Any gains from the FF7 remake are more than likely erased. Better sale to Sony or M$

You mean the suicide squad game? That’s a live service game? I think the Gotham game is more like the latest AC titles(in terms of quasi RPG elements) with co-op elements instead of the sandbox repetitive gaas like avengers

 

[Morose Polymath]

Low key glad this shyt blew up in their face.

Not for square Enix but for Disney/ Marvel's sake. Ever since MCU has turned into a cash cow, Marvel has neglected alot of their comics material in other forms of media and only focused on the film versions of heroes and as result every game they have dropped during this run has been

MvC:I
MUA3
Avengers

I'm glad they never tried a new X-men game, that would just be trash too

Spiderman is the only Marvel franchise/hero thats been consistently dope. And ironicly we can thank Sony for that

shyt looked ass from the jump. Then when I found out it was one of those games where you have to grind

I guess well see. If i see co-op story games these days I’m always gonna assume theres some GAAS bs going on with it. If it’s an actual fully realized campaign with beginning and end then I’ll hold the L.

Same goes for suicide Squad but the way they described it came off a lot like avengers

100 if you look at the Concept Art in MvCi it’s obvious they were going for Saturday morning cartoon vibe. Marvel became waaay too controlling with their IPs this gen. Hopefully they let these devs especially Japan become have more artistic freedom.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

I miss the x-men and fantastic 4

I’m avengered out.

 

[Luke Cage]

shyt was ripoff anyways,glad it flopped. You couldn't even replay the main single player campaign.
for people who don't really fukk with online gaming that means i got charged full game price for what was essentially a rental.
I completed the game once and couldn't play it anymore. it's one thing not having new game plus, but not having new game at all? corporate greed was in full effect. and i was actually hoping for story based dlc's

 

[Bubba T]

Had no interest in this game but bought it because my two buddies who I always play with were playing. Game wasn’t really fun (basically Destiny with licensed super heroes) and seems “empty”.

they need more content. And to not release as a buggy POS at launch
