Sort of like the NFL 2k5 approach. Could be smart of it gets a decent number of people to try it out.

from what they have shown, recore isn't anywhere near to be an AAA game
selling it for a lower price is still a cool thing though

Is his name attached? I feel like they have not mentioned him since the initial unveiling.

I still would have bought it at $60. I'm excited.

Although, I think people could assume that its lower price might mean it's a remaster/release or a budget title which could make some look elsewhere. That was my initial thought, anyway.

Considering I'm on NeoGAF and didn't know who Inafune was until recently, I think it's reasonable to say that his name is going to have basically zero influence on the general sales.
Probably trying to disassociate from the MN9 trainwreck.

It's all very well that there are few mainstream Western releases for it to compete with, but there's Final Fantasy XV, Bioshock Collection, Dragon Quest VII, Valkyrie Drive, Cold Steel II, and the JP release of Persona 5, if you're into the niche.
Recore gets me so hyped that it's Day 1 despite all the other distractions.

Yeah, at this point this is more true: "ReCore low price point due to being a new franchise and because Inafune's name attached"

I thought the low price point came from them using Unity instead of something like UE4.
Hope this game is profitable though.
Feels like this IP has franchise potential. Something I don't think MS expected after the initial CGI reveal.

Inafune hate is ridiculously disproportionate.
Good decision to lower the price though, the holidays are hella crowded. I still think the game is going to have a hard time doing well. It's a game that attracts a smaller audience, on a console that has a comparatively smaller base to begin with. There's a PC release but most PC gamers are adamantly against anything not on Steam.

Depends on reviews also. See Inside.

I have this pre-ordered on Amazon since its only £28 but now I think I might just go digital since for once the digital price is not overly priced - It's £29.99.
That's true, although Inside was a $20 game and didn't have to fight against people's preconception about them. Are there any numbers or general consensus on it's performance on both Xbox One and PC? It's not my cup of tea so I didn't pay too much attention to it but all I can remember for the PC version was people being upset about having to use the Windows store.
Well, I look forward to Sea of Thieves and Scalebound at $40 then, Greenberg
Sea of Thieves is 25 in Amazon Spain right now.

"franchise"
I doubt this game gets a sequel.

Recore was the game that pushed me to get an Xbox One. It wasn't one of the giants like Killer Instinct, Scaleboumd, or Sunset Overdrive, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back. It looks really neat. I love the artstyle. Can't wait to play it.
That being said, I don't see this game being a franchise.

I'm excited for it based on gameplay, but has there been any word about the scope of it? Is it going to be super short or something?

Why not do the same for Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break then? Seems like they really could've used the help.

I guess it's because content-wise it's pretty light?
Otherwise why would they do this? They market it as a big AAA game, but I guess it's just not there (production value and all, I'm not bashing the game prior to its release).

Game looks pretty budget tbh, but if that's the reason they're going with... I mean, sure, I guess? Either way, I'm excited for it. $40 is cool with me. I really hope it does well if only because the main character seems cool, lol. Hoping it's less Inafune and more Armature, though.

I think it's more likely that it's a new franchise with an AA budget. Absolutely nothing wrong with AA budget games as long as they're solid, but I have no idea how you communicate that from a PR perspective without making it sound "lesser than". Usually I'd think they would use the phrase "It's a smaller title" or "smaller scope" but for all I know, this is a 20 hour game.
