meh, looks like titanfall without the mechs

This isn't really true at all. Game looks way different imo.

[Psychoward]

Because it'll still work in ten years as it doesn't need to rely on servers that will eventually be shut down?

...what does that have to do with what price they launch at? Hell if im still playing a mp game 10 years after launch I think it's well worth 60 dollars

 

[B00TE]

Interested to see how this plays on PS4.

 

[GhostRidah]

Wow really? Played the beta a couple of months ago, it was rough. Could use a lot more dev time.

 

[Psychoward]

Also for the record what are some 60 dollar multiplayer only shooters recently?

Battlefield has campaigns, cod has campaigns, r6 siege is kinda mp only but it does have 10 small sp missions, overwatch is 40 dollars on its main platform (and really there's no excuse for it having the 20 dollar console tax so I'll agree there), titanfall 2 has a great sp... I guess the only ones are titan fall 1 and battlefront, both of which got lambasted for not having enough content

 

[WaterAstro]

It looked really good.

Sometimes he says dumb shit but this is dumb shit I can get behind.

Siege has a $15 dollar starter edition with more grind to encourage monetization. It's pretty neat. I wish more games would try that.

 

[ebullientprism]

I am gonna wait a couple of months to see if it develops a community on the PC.

Probably not.

 

[Allonym]

Will buy. There's so many games coming out and all relatively soon! I can't let these games interfere with work and class anymore though. *Sigh* the struggle

 

[GamerKingFaiz]

Gameplay looks slick, $30 price point is great. Will have to check out the beta!

Shots fired...from a jerry-rigged slingshot with Blizzard wearing a full complement of gold-plated armor.

 

[Forerunner]

This shit looks good and the price is right.

 

[hydruxo]

Perfect price and date. Game looks cool too. Might have to check it out.

 

[The Real Napsta]

Looks awesome. It sucks there's no Xbox One version. I guess I'll have to dig my PS4 out of the closet.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Ha ha No, no they don't deserve to be full priced if they are Multiplayer only

But this is wrong.

For example, I had more than my money's worth in Titanfall 1 and Overwatch than I did in something like Rise of the Tomb Raider. It's all about the quality of the game, not what mode/type of game that quality comes from. Thinking otherwise is backwards and ignorant.

 

[Alchemist]

Looks fun.

 

[ACE 1991]

I am gonna wait a couple of months to see if it develops a community on the PC.

Probably not.

Yep, I sincerely doubt it. Getting multiplayer shooters to "stick" on PC is super hard these days.

 

[Kayant]

IN!!! Can't wait.

 

[Drillary Clinton]

Ha ha No, no they don't deserve to be full priced if they are Multiplayer only

Why not?

"None of that $60 bullshit for Multiplayer only shooters" - CliffyB


Right.. only because the competition is strong for these games. Let's not act as if it would be 30$ if there wasnt any.

 

[OdysseusVA]

$30 and loot boxes?
Should have gone f2p

 

[mnannola]

That video looks pretty damn awesome. For 30 bucks I'll give it a shot.

 

[Kusagari]

So it's priced like RC Cola

 

[AdventureMike]

I'm glad I got this reference. Laughed way harder than I had any right to.

 

[deadscreensky]

I don't personally have a problem with spending $60 on a multiplayer-only game, but there's definitely been a trend lately of multiplayer-only games with shockingly sparse content (Rainbow Six, Star Wars Battlefront, Overwatch) so I feel the criticism isn't exactly unfair.

That said I'm not sure charging for a game like this makes much sense at all, unfortunately. As bad as most free-to-play models are, there doesn't seem to be a lot of viability for smaller paid-only multiplayer games like Lawbreakers. Network effects can be a real bitch.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Day Purchase for me on PS4.

 

[PedroLumpy]

I'm not convinced even he believes that dumb statement about multiplayer games not being worth $60. Might just be marketing, but it's shitty thing to say that plays into all the dumb YouTube comment arguments.

For some reason I thought they were going F2P, but obviously not.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Overwatch is $40 on PC though hehe.

And it was $60 on consoles.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Will there be mouse and keyboard support on ps4?

 

[Goose_Se7en]

At $30 I'm gonna give it a shot. I mean what's to lose. Happy for Cliffy.

 

[kodecraft]

Day one.

 

[Accoun]

Is this game more along the lines of UT2004 or Overwatch? It looks interesting, but I don't want to buy another team based shooter..

UT, I'd say. Seems more of a Quake Champions competitor than Overwatch.

 

[Chille]

Why? They feature a lot of content that is much more dynamic than single player games that are inherently meant to have more time put in as well. They can actually be updated to be fixed more constantly than single player games and are subject to much more dev feedback than single player only games.

If a single player only game can be $60, so can multiplayer only. What benefit do games like Battlefield 1 have having a tacked on singleplayer anyway?

I only buy BF1 and CoD for the single player, same reason I bought Titanfall 2, only online game that kept me on is FFXIV and Warframe.

 

[labaronx]

Cant wait

 

[DOWN]

Overwatch is $40 on PC though hehe.

It was kinda bs that they made it $60 on consoles

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Pretty lame dig by Cliff. Multiplayer only games have every right to be worth $60 as much as single player games, especially this generation.

Agreed. I put more time in Titanfall more than a lot of single player games combined.

It was kinda bs that they made it $60 on consoles

Well the Origins Edition is $60 on PC. The issue is they forced console gamers to get the Origins Edition without an option for the base $40 game.

 

[Sofa King]

no xbox port?

When it was at PAX they were saying PC only. Sony must have thrown them a bone for console exclusivity.

 

[Kevtones]

None of that $60 bullshit for Multiplayer only shooters

Such edge

Much cliffy

 

[Exploratory]

Congrats Cliff I was interested and now I'm never buying your game.

 

[Distresssss]

Ha ha No, no they don't deserve to be full priced if they are Multiplayer only

Depends. Do you get more gameplay time from multiplayer? If so it has every right to be however expensive they want it to be.

 

[Blablurn]

If my internet wouldn't suck here in China I would buy it. Looks good.

 

[StrategyFan]

haven't played much, but it just seemed mechanically difficult

the fast freeform movement is great on large maps, but the close quarters combat requires a lot of twitch precision

also it will probably be impossible to balance all the characters because the skill cap of just getting the most out of each ability/weapon is too high

edit; i don't understand why this is on console. nobody will be able to hit anything

 

[Jay Shadow]

Right.. only because the competition is strong for these games. Let's not act as if it would be 30$ if there wasnt any.

The original plan when development was first announced was F2P, but they ultimately weren't happy with any of the monitization options they were looking at.

 

[blastprocessor]

Shame no single player game so a no buy (

Looks great though.

 

[17 Seconds]

Because it'll still work in ten years as it doesn't need to rely on servers that will eventually be shut down?

this argument is hilarious to me. you're worried about paying 60 dollars for a game you might still want to play a decade from now? i'm pretty sure if that ends up happening, you've gotten your money's worth.

 

[17 Seconds]

I only buy BF1 and CoD for the single player, same reason I bought Titanfall 2, only online game that kept me on is FFXIV and Warframe.

okay, but games aren't priced with only you in mind

 

[IHaveIce]

Playing this game for almost a year now, wonder how they balance stuff for launch. Excited to play it again
