Are they having a laugh?
Seriously like what's the point in skipping it in the first place then!?
This is what I've been trying to figure out for some time now.
The publisher thinks the IP has an audience proven by Xenoverse 2 being ported.
The developer thinks there's a fighting game market by releasing a BlazBlue game.
There's no technical impediment by their own admission.
Probably only enough time/money for the announced versions
If they see demand they might do it once the game is released
when they got time and money coming in from sales
Yeah, best I can figure, it's a money/staffing issue. But even still, why ask fans to BEG for it when all of these factors considered together means that there's evidence of a market for the game already?
It just doesn't add up to anything that makes sense.
Eh, I'm not interested in a compromised port.
What gives you the impression it would have to be?
That's silly though. You dont gauge the popularity of a game with the sales of a less popular one.
Also, Bamco is being dumb here, with Xenoverse 2 being greenlit and still developped while no one cares anymore instead of putting the new game.
Yeah, again, something's missing from the picture, because this makes ZERO sense. Any possible argument you could have for a 3rd-party not to release a game seems to be dealt with already.
