Honest poll of longevity?

[KissXsis]

What is everyone opinion of longevity that this type of game has without any opinions just type your answer so that maybe a company moderator can use the data to help them curve their direction.

Choose one of the following.

Dead on arrival
1-2 weeks

they're literally the reason GB3 beats the ♥♥♥♥ out of NGB. C&M did NGB alone and look what happened.
1-3 great. first game without them = dog doodoo

Mobile is literally a scaled down gb3 port most likley built off the bones of the vita version of gb3. Just because they aren't working on it, doesn't mean they weren't instrumental.

Considering GB3 is the highest grossing gundam game of all time, they probably asked for more money and C&M said they'd do it all for less when BN said no to that well earned raise.

I don’t think you understand the point of anything I said.

I understood perfectly. I just thought it was ♥♥♥♥ take to criticize a certain aspect of a bad argument with even more fallacy -- IE the other half of a long running and best selling franchise isn't a major part of Gundam game production just because they got boot in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ but very common Japanese way. Wozniak didn't work for apple for 39 years... so I guess he wasn't a major part either. I guess Kojima and his team weren't a major part of the MGS series either because Survive exists and they got booted out, Pull your head out of your brown star fish and step off the high horse. It might make your arguments more relevant.

Clearly you didn't.

I'll repeat myself again just so you can understand this time.
Ilinx didn't get scared from PC for one release, seeing how they went to work on Left Alive which came out literally a year after that.

They are also NOT a major developer for gundam, they literally only made Gundam games for three years, 2013-2016, how good the games are is irrelevant, compared to developers like BB Studios who have been making Gundam games for over a damn decade at this point or even Koei has more time with the franchise than they did and I wouldn't even consider them major devs either.

And they did not get fired after running a franchise for damn near the start like Kojima nor are they a pioneer and business partner/cofounder of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ apple, they're folks who helped make three gundam games in three years, regardless of how fun or good those games was they're not a major player in the brand for Bandai, hell they didn't even GET fired because they're contractors, they simply didn't get brought back for the new game on the new engine nor the mobile game, also on a new engine. If anything, what really happened with Ilinx is that the people who subcontracted them (Crafts & Meister) simply thought they could make the next game without them.

[Reu]

Also on that note, I highly, highly doubt GB3 was ever the highest grossing Gundam game of all time, you do realize that's competing with various MMOs, Gacha and arcade games that surely made more money than GB3? Unless you think they made more money than any of the EXVS games which is HIGHLY unlikely.

Right now it definitely lacks the gameplay depth for 1-2 years. But then again, we Gundam fans are a different breed aren't we? We'll play nearly anything Bandai spits out because we literally don't have any other choice or options.

Even just generic mech games are slim and few.

Trueeeeeeee. I go on steam under mech and only see one page on steam... See that I own 70% that aren't complete ish and then cry a little inside

[Penitent]

Bro the game is not out yet.

[MadLadOnyx]

I'm in the same boat as a lot of people commenting here, that being said I can see 1 - 2 years at least. The numbers per platform and cross-play. When I played back in april I had very little to complain about (looking at you baratos). If they can even manage the current quality plus the addition of skins and such It will probably be a very good game to the point it beats OW2 and gets new players in to the gundam series as a whole.

[ECHellscream]

As of right now, I could see a solid year. The healing and tanking are not that deep. They're more like suggestions from the beta I played. The best strat seemed just to jump all over the place as opposed to team warfare.

But things can easily change with updates if they choose to do so. But damn they're taking awhile. We had a 2022 release announced last year...and it's August 2022.

I actually prefer that style for it and if they made it like tf2 where there's a method in the madness and chaos.

This games life will depend on several things

Game Dev Action Response - Cheaters are now in every game and are becoming rampant if the Devs respond swiftly or at least look like they are attempting to curb the issue people will stay longer if they do what the BloodHunt devs did and radio silence the community until their game legit was dead then they realized oh damn we gotta actually talk to our community so they don't get pissed and leave then this game is toast.

MTX/Lootbox/Gatcha - They can't do typical Asia ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and load it up with either P2W Gundam variants or gatcha ♥♥♥♥ they can have MTX but not focusing solely on loading up a shop with no actual game content in the pipleline

Content - This game is gonna need to PUMP out content need Gundams maybe dabble in different Era's give us maps maybe a new mode here and there but if this game gets hot out the gate they need to strike while the iron is still hot because if they are not releasing content while the player base is high they might as well close shop on the NA side they will never make a profit

[KissXsis]

Is the game going to even come out?

Considering that there isn't much room for optimism regarding GBO2 on PC, I think i will add an extra 6 months to my initial 2-2.5 years longevity guess.

Yeah GBO2 even on ps4 had a myriad of connection problems too and control issues that should also be adressed for pc port too.

[KaptainCnucklz]

I'd assume a good 5 years without any blunders. As an example; Paladins is another hero shooter, with it's open beta being 6 years ago and it's full release being 4 years, that still has between 8k~9k players at peak times going by Steam DB. Note that doesn't count the console and Epic Games players.

Hero shooters can be popular, and do have considerable longevity if the devs keep at adding new characters+balancing. They just have to use ideas that aren't 1:1 Overwatch. Paladins is one of the few that didn't rip off Blizzard in it's entirety so it still has a decent following.

And from what big praise I hear, people looking forward to Gundam Evolution have a lot to look forward to. So do the devs and publisher if they play their cards right post-launch.

[King]

6 months probably. A year? Idk.
