One of many (possibilities) on why Jim Ryan is “retired.”

Anyone still think Phil Spencer should be fired over not securing this project as an Xbox exclusive? Anyone? Bueller?

Everyone was crapping on Xbox when the dev team was Aspyr. Xbox passed on it for a reason. Sony was desperate for Western RPGs and taking an old Xbox exclusive was too much of a carrot on a stick.

I know they’ve done things since then, but my first thought upon seeing Aspyr was doing the remake was “They’re entrusting the people who do Mac ports to do KOTOR?”

Luckily, if Disney still wants a new entry in that series eventually, there IS a company who just finished doing a rather well regarded RPG that was ALSO a sequel to a Bioware game.

By way of explanation, Zelnick shared a little of Take-Two’s own methodology for calculating videogame prices (be warned that the following sentence may give you a headache). “In terms of our pricing for any entertainment property, basically the algorithm is the value of the expected entertainment usage, which is to say the per hour value times the number of expected hours plus the terminal value that’s perceived by the customer in ownership, if the title is owned rather than rented or subscribed to,” he said.

“That doesn’t necessarily mean that the industry has pricing power, or wants to have pricing power,” he added. "However, there is a great deal of value offered, and look, it’s our strategy here to deliver much more value than what we charge consumers, that’s always been our strategy.

I’m already seeing clickbait videos and articles how we should be ready to hell out at least 100 dollars for the game, but that’s not what I take from it.

All we can do is wait and see, as too often A CEO says something and than does the opposite.

“$70 for a game is very low” says company that releases one new game per generation.

Played it back in 2010/11 or something and felt the exact same, it plays like a bad Gears of War and the powers aren’t interesting enough to compensate

Right? I’m already invested in the universe (beat the first one, worst than the second) but I feel deceived by people that said it was a masterpiece. I guess people really love the lore. I like it and intend to beat the entire trilogy but the gunplay is weak

I didn’t care for the characters or story either tbh, people hype up ME2 all the time, especially the last mission of ME2 but when I played it I didn’t care at all

I guess it’s partly my fault, I fell for the hype even though I played the first and felt the same way
