That's over 8m copies it will have to sell at full price before it just breaks even!https://youtu.be/ROr_KIM-0nE?t=2449Source is Tom Henderson at 40:50
>>740972847I'm still bitter that they made gears 4 and 5 "sign in to Xbox to.play" slop.So yeah, I'm not about to buy this shit day one or give them the benefit of the doubt.Your customers hate you.You haven't unfucked what you did.Eat shit and die Microslop
There's something pathetic about clinging to this 2000's franchise so clearly past its heyday because you got fucking nothing else, despite being one of the richest companies on planet earth
Why are games so fucking expensive? Its a single player game with a multi-player, not that different from the gears of war made in 2008.With all the new tech that streamlines productions, and the aid of a.i tools, games should cost as much, or less to produce and take less time.What the fuck is happening?
It shows.How can Sony even compete?
>>740973356Canadian devs who are paid six figures to sit around and do fuck all nothing. It's basically like how elon musk fired 80% of twitter and it still ran completely identical
>>740972847Welcome to modern economics Everything will bankrupt and you will work for AI
Do you think these idiots realize they’ve backed themselves into a corner with this production value touting marketing, or is it just pure management incompetence?>>740973360It does look very good, but based on IP strength, their budgets should both be halved and then swapped lol
>>740973356>With all the new tech that streamlines productions, and the aid of a.i tools, games should cost as much, or less to produce and take less time>he thinks things have actually become more efficient >he thinks efficiency would even make things less expensive
>>740973356>Studios paying 1 million dollars for Dei consulting There must be so many unnecessary expenses, overpricing of resources and people taking advantage to fill their pockets and those of their friends on projects its not even funny kek.
>>740974501>it’s not even funny kekIt’s just retarded management and high salaries in hcol cities, stupid
>>740973360I wasn't impressed by gow or wolverine. Only Gears, just annoying they're pushing woke shit so much.
>>740972847They just need to get rid of the female characters, they're so out of place, it's embarrassing
>>740972847NGO's money with state government's backup to push woke propaganda 100%. infinite taxpayer money, you don't have to make a good game or sell well, you just deliver the ((message))
>>740973360>that generic ass looking Jean Grey
Gears of War wasn't even popular anymore after Halo 3 and CoD4 came out. I bet zoomers don't even recognize the franchise.
>>740973360Gears would need to sell 12 million on xbox and pc to break even. And that's assuming xbox players buy the game instead of subbing to gamepass.
If they announced tomorrow the nigger dyke was just an error and she no longer exists. The game would sell.Instead it's going to be the final nail I'm gears' coffin
>>740973356Studios being in US and Canada. Thats it. Thats the number 1 reason. When some random bum QA contractors get paid 90k+ on average you know how fucked it has to be. These studios are in most expensive places to live on the planet where someone making 150k a year is living almost like a rat lmao.
>>740972847Killzone is better off dead after all.
>>740972847WHY?! WHY DO THESE BASIC BITCH GAMES HAVE TO HAVE SUCH BLOATED FUCKING BUDGETS? ARE THEY USING SOLID GOLD FUCKING COMPUTERS AND FEEDING THE WHOLE OFFICE FUCKING CAVIAR?!
>>740973356>With all the new tech that streamlines productions, and the aid of a.i tools, games should cost as much, or less to produce and take less time.Military has issue where soldiers carry too much weight which causes problems, but every time a new invention is maid to decrease weight they make soldiers carry more since now they have extra room. Same thing is happening here, more tools and streamlining means devs can now to more work in the same amount of time.
>>740975624I don't think they even know what to do with Killzone, they were already doing their damndest to try to continue it without giving into the entire fanbase that wanted to just play as Helghasts. Guerrilla is better off as the forever Horizon slop factory.
>>740972847why does it look so cheap, developing games in america is a joke, you pay 4x the cost and it looks AA
>>740972847IT'S FINE IT'S A BILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE
>>740976581Cuck
>>740973360>screen shotHow does that make the spud shooter bukkake, magnetic cover-bouncing retardation that wasn't objectively fun in 2006, any better in 2026...?>not introducing a TD mode to a game that already has a poor man's knock-off mode of it (Horde), for a lore about humans trying to hold out against invading monsters#Retarded
>>740973356>Why are games so fucking expensive?Have to pay the shareholders, HR managers, DEI consultants, intimacy experts, engangement specialists and 1000 outsourced indians. No we can't go back to when games were made by 10 white dudes and 1 asian guy dont be racist
>>740973356Hey, gotta make sure those executives get their 7 figure salaries. Wouldn't be surprised if a shit ton of unnecessary luxuries as well like a fully staffed kitchen/cafeteria.
>>740972847Looks fun, unfortunately I wont buy it day 1 because I refuse to buy a game for $70
>>740973356They'll tell you it's the talent in big cities. But this isn't 2010 anymore where you still got the results to justify it. It's all 200-400M dollar woke foidslop jank these days. Shut it down
>>740972847They stopped divulging sales for Gears since 4, nobody cares about this franchise anymore, shit's going to bomb hard
stop funding american AAA games, they cannot properly make them anymore
>>740973197huh. I played 4 and 5 through xcloud for 1$.
>>740973331Maybe they shouldn't have ruined it with Gears 5, then.
