I just find the determination based on file size alone one that seems self-prohibitive and short-sighted to me. Lastly, given your calling Octopath Traveller II a "cash grab" your mind is well made up - and that's entirely fine. Graphically, likely yes but not design and writing. Now, I do concede that assets can be expensive but again - it's a remake, not a new game from the ground up. While yes, Octopath Traveller II is a sequel and likely uses the same engine, it is a new game. they are are not writing/designing a game from scratch. Take into consideration RE 4 is a remake, i.e.
But I bet it's a bit closer than you would think. Thanks for reply, so let me get this straight your telling me that a game 3gb-6bg cost's the same amount of money to produce as a 60gb game ? for example octopath traveller II vs Resident evil 4 remake = same production cost ?īoth games are the same price on steam 49.99, I will pay 49.99 for RE4 remake but not for octopath cash grab but best of luck to everyone who wishes to though I hope it's epic I think you're going to miss out on some pretty great games. Ultimately it's your choice if you want to use file size as to whether you think a game is "worth it" or expensive. Also, you don't take into account how much more it costs now to develop, publish, market and release a game than it did in the days of Final Fantasy VII (which was about 1.3 GB by the way.) This is evidenced by the rising costs of your 40-100GB games increasingly common for them to cost $69.99. Price being tied to file size makes ZERO sense.
Yes I played FFVII on Playstation 1 that came with 3 cd-rom disc's, granted 3 Gb game back then was epic amount of data & did sell for £49.99 on release, Asking 49.99 for 3-6 Gb new retro octopath travellrs II game In 2023 seems V/expensive compared to AAA 30 Gb -100 Gb data games title's on today's market. Oh and BTW, you were never playing a 3-6 GB game on an Atari 5200 or a NES, or SNES, Playstation, Playstation 2 - really wasn't until the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 days did you start to see games in the 3-6 GB range. This is as an absurd a take as I've read in a long, long time. but If they asked 19.99 affordable price then sold 15000 copies = 299,850 as a pick up & play chill game on pc & steam deck over the long run. Look at like this way if they sold 5000 copies on release at 49.99 = 249,950.
Because this game game could be played on a atari 500 40 years ago lol, how can they justify such a high price for a retro game like this compared to the likes of AAA title game as resident evil 4 remake or even elden ring !
