I've paid very little attention to this project since it was announced (mostly because it interests me and I'd rather just play it 'when it's done' instead of salivating over it repeatedly or playing it in an unfinished state), but even so I can't help but shake the feeling that they've set the bar far too high for this.
For 77m, they could probably just about fund three, highly produced (but perhaps moderately scoped) games. Get that first one out there within a couple of years, rake in loads more cash and build from there would surely be a more sensible alternative strategy?
But then what the fuck do I know? Although I could make a safe guess that working with this level of expectation must be ball-crushingly worrisome.
Yeah man
Based on all the other crowdfunding tragedies we have seen. It makes sense to build something small and complete FIRST and then expand on it later
Then again. Destiny basically shipped as a skeleton and was called out for it.... yet it still was very successful and makes lots of money
For a first product... sure it gets critically slammed for good reason but it IS a functioning and fun product.
AS much as people hate on Destiny its still a better setup to build off of.
I suppose this opinion could be thrown in my face somehow though. I PERSONALLY prefer to know nothing and have a complete game released within months of its first announcement
