Until it becomes NFT

Boosted_Gear · August 5, 2022, 7:13pm

I’m not trusting Sony to never start implementing NFT’s.

Paxton:

…on-selling games to be disappointments, and D’Astous reports this extended behind the scenes as well. He recalls a meeting regarding the company’s financial performance for 2012, where the Eidos group of studios was expected to generate $65 million in profit. Instead, he was told the developers had lost $65 million that year.

“We were dumbfounded,” he says. “Especially because my studio didn’t have any deliverables for that year.”

“I was losing hope that Square Enix Japan would bring great things to Eidos. I was losing confidence in my headquarters in London. In their annual fiscal reports, Japan always added one or two phrases saying, ‘We were disappointed with certain games. They didn’t reach expectations.’ And they did that strictly for certain games that were done outside of Japan.”

I’m really getting a certain not very pleasant kind of vibe from SE…

Second times the charm, I’m rootin for you guys at DC

Sword and Fairy 6 was also supposed to come to Xbox and well, it’s been years and no mention of it at all. I honestly wouldn’t expect Sword and Fairy: Together Forever to release on Xbox unless Microsoft pays for the port.

I did buy Sword and Fairy: Together Forever yesterday but due to work, won’t start playing it until Sunday.

I also bought Xuan Yuan Sword 7 for Xbox One (it’s similar to Sword and Fairy, you might want to look into it Staffy) for $30 off Amazon and will play it after Sword and Fairy.

cross-platform play between PS4, PS5, PC, & Xbox

KakkaKarrotKake · August 5, 2022, 9:58pm

Nice

Every fighter out there going forward should be making this and good online their biggest priorities

TheBrightestSun · August 5, 2022, 9:59pm

Won’t help the game. Too late.

Ace_Maverick · August 5, 2022, 10:00pm

Why?

TheBrightestSun · August 5, 2022, 10:03pm

KOF is suffering from the same issues that all other fighting games that are not F2P - it is unable to bring new players and even they come, all the playerbase consists of the remaining active strong players.

And also matchmaking does not work properly anyway

Cairnst · August 5, 2022, 10:10pm

Good to see while everyone else is looking to the future with streaming at the forefront, WB Discovery is looking into the past by focusing entirely on cinema releases and trying to put together a cinematic universe to rival Marvel. What a disappointment.

Thanathorn · August 5, 2022, 10:16pm

Oh it’s my 2 year anniversary since joining XboxEra. Time flies.

Ace_Maverick · August 5, 2022, 10:32pm

Disagree, KOF has a healthy fanbase and if the cross-play on all platforms works as is intended, that fanbase it would grow even more, imo.

Sparda3g · August 5, 2022, 10:47pm

I do think Multiversus could influence devs though on the F2P concept, even though KI did it first in a way, but you know, Xbox was an evil dictator.

Boosted_Gear · August 5, 2022, 10:48pm

TheBrightestSun · August 5, 2022, 10:58pm

Will Embracer provide a budget for that though?

Cayde4Ever · August 5, 2022, 10:59pm

Forgive me I’m a little lost here. So your disappointed because they want to make higher budget movies tailored for theatrical releases, in addition to making sure that DC has a vision now? I’m just a bit confused
