2 million in sales is not enough for the suits at Bamco

[Breeze]

2 million copies sold at $70 each was just not enough to satisfy the greed at Namco. We need MTX, Season Pass, and Battle Passes filled with junk too. Instead of asking how they can improve our experience with the game, they're seemingly asking how much money they can squeeze out of us before we quit.

This patch flipped my positive review to a negative one; because player enjoyment was clearly not a priority with the game breaking glitches, nonsense global system changes, and pure greed MTX & Battle Pass additions, right before EVO JP too.

Tekken has always been a grower, not a shower. even street fighter doesn't scale as well overtime as tekken does. But they will need to choose their moves carefully because right now, they are killing their game. Balance patches mostly hit the wrong characters with the nerf hammer and meanwhile they seem more worried about battlepasses and tekken shops than a functional game. NOT GOOD.

. Competitive play is niche, but fighting games in general are not at all.

Fighting games are so niche that we have a single 3D fighting game every console generation.
If it wasn’t a niche we would have multiple AAA fighting games per years and few copycats per month.

The three most popular fighting franchise sell high numbers. There are also other fighting games like BlazBlue, SOULCALIBUR and a bunch of others. It's not a niche genre.

3 most popular? That’s almost all what left.
Again - a single 3D fighter every few years. Maybe Tekken is mainstream but the genre is dead. Do we even have any AAA fighting game coming out in the next few years?

The market has changed. They release new content for these fighting games for years now. 3 triple A fighting games came out in less than a year and you are complaining that it's a niche genre.

I complain that I have no alternative to Tekken.
Not a single other active 3D fighting game exists. Tekken8 is the only 3D fighter. It’s the whole genre.

There's SoulCalibur 6. Even if barely anyone plays it online you can still play private matches with someone.

This 6y old game is dead and it’s an uber trash low budget shadow of what SC1 and SC2 was. They didn’t even bother to give two costumes per character. It’s so cold dead that it will be replaced by a 25y old Street Fighter 3 at EVO.

I had no problem with SC 6. I didn't played it online, but I was satisfied with the amount of single player content it has. It's a good game overall.

No , its because they found a more lucrative way of doing things.

The base game cost 55 dollars, have 32 characters and 16 stages, and if you buy the deluxe edition, you are paying half the game base price for only four characters (you get skins but who cares about that) , or five characters for 30 dollars if you buy them separated.


Why would they release more than one game per generation if they can milk more his customers doing things the way they are doing now ?
Looking at super smash bros ultimate, mortal kombat 11 and tekken 7 sales, its hardly a niche genre.
And tekken 8 and street fighter 6m probably mortal kombat 1 too will sell more than its predecesors.

Why nobody else make a 3D fighting game? It's like free money without competition. Super milk cow. No?

Your answer has nothing to do about the subject.
You need to know how to make fighting games, its the same for example with first person shooters.
For example, did you saw capcom making a lot of first person shooters ? no because that genre its not one of their strenghts,

But for the people that know how to make them (fighting games), its lucrative, i dont need to write another example, the one of the previous comment its enough.

DOA, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, Toshiden, Bloody Roar. All dead.
Capcom used to make like few fighting games a year but almost all their franchises are dead. SNK used to be big but their new games are like indie games now.

The genre is dying out sadly.

Fighting games is a successful niche, it doesn't just do Fortnite numbers. But apparently it means it's dying? Just lately we had Tekken 8, GBVSR and Under Night 2. All very good and easy to find matches in. You'd prefer dooming about a fake death than enjoy perfectly playable games online, which used to be a rarity.

If somebody doesn’t like 2D fighters then there is a single game left. It’s really a small niche if it has one game.
