Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Gets Final Gameplay Trailer Showing Off Some Of Cal's New Moves | MMORPG.com
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is in the home stretch before its global launch on April 28th, and during the Star Wars Celebration over the weekend, Respawn Entertainment released the final gameplay trailer for the upcoming RPG.

Price: 70€ for the BASE VERSION? Nah, sorry, can't support that. Regardless of what the game might be.
Size: 155GB? You for serious? That's entirely too much. Yet another practice I am not going to support.
Average chad gamer: We want bigger worlds, we want sandbox worlds, we want high fidelity, we want multiple graphical presets so that even our potat PCs can run this shit.
gamedevs: ok, that'll be 155GBs
Average chad gamer: Muh hard disk T_T
Like bro, chill, do you honestly believe that Respawn aren't compressing what can be compressed? I expect Starfield to be of similar size. The 500$ consoles come with 1TB storage. If you have less on your PC, it's on you.
Games get bigger, gamers want 4K. 4K doesn't come cheap. Hell, 1440p doesn't come cheap ,yet if you do a poll in this forum everyone will vote that 1440p is the superior resolution. And some of those 1440p nutjobs will even say that ultrawide is superior, lul. Absolute chads
And as such ... yeah. I am going to be skipping this one. 155 GB was the final nail.
70€ Base Price is the sticking point, however. The time to say "NO" is when it hurts the most. This is what they(=pubs) know and why they are using CoDs, Diablos(=beloved, big franchises) etc to sneak this as a new standard. The worrying part?
Given the average human condition, it's gonna work. Hell, if they went for 80€, it would have worked. Because "muh release day Diablo!" . /facepalm
Sartre was right.
Either that or you stop buying 3-4 games a year and you buy 1-2 instead. And pray that the increased pricetag would also count as a increased gamelength.
But yeah, so, costs of developing games have skyrocketed. If 70$ is what keeps microtransactions off of my singleplayer games, I'd gladly pay it. If it doesn't weeeeeell I'll probably get the game at a discount. That's how I got the last 3 Assassin's Creed games. Even with a season's pass they were cheaper than 60$.
Who doesn't love a good spring sale
If you give the game Mass Effect 3 graphics, it will be no more than 20GB and nothing of value will be lost.
How much better and more realistic can graphics get? There will come a point where they won't be able to look any better and games will stagnate, because gameplay is the one part that has not evolved since 2000, now 23 years later. I look at this game and the previous one and I can't see how it offers more gameplay options that Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy, in fact, it seems to offer way less. Give it Jedi Knight graphics and compare it gameplay-wise to those games, this one will come out short. It doesn't have multiplayer, it doesn't have firearms, it doesn't have first person mode... so what does it have? It feels like a one-time game - you play it once and never again.
It's simply not worth the money to upgrade stil, really.
Yeah but games used to be a LOT smaller and of course have gotten larger over the time. Is this really the line in the sand?
I'm sure there are older games that made a significant leap in size compared to other games of the time. Did you draw the line there? And if so what made you change your mind to continue buying "larger games?"
Also, prices are going to go up eventually. Games can't be 49.95/59.95 forever. Inflation alone makes that unsustainable,.

With single player narrative driven games like this, I don't mind paying a fraction of the box to play it through and then unsub.
As for the size, I really doubt that Survivor's bigger than 100GB tops. Everything else in uncompressed garbage. I'd say 85 - 90 GB is the most likely. Big? Yes. Ass YUGE? No
If you look at game development you'll see that games have gotten larger and have always pushed the boundaries of pc storage. Knights of the Old republic was almost 4 gb. I'm pretty sure computers weren't sporting 1 TB drives back then.
As far as your assessment of how large games should be, I suspect it's all being pulled out of thin air. Oh sure, games can be made smaller but people enjoy better graphics, larger worlds, etc.
How many times has a game launched with some retro style, pixel graphic look only to hear some player say something about lazy and cheap developers. Which is also misguided.
As far as price hikes, again, it's ridiculous to expect a game to stay at 49.95 forever.. Even if Bobby Kotick is adding a 3rd yacht.
It's a business. Businesses make money. That's what they do. On one hand they have to pay the people they work for. at the very least give them cost of living raises. You think that they aren't going to raise their prices to keep business going?
As far as business leadership, sure, they negotiate all sorts of high salaries and incentives. Unless you have a plan to put a stop to their evil deeds, it is what it is.
And if larger game sizes and higher prices are going to stop you I suspect that you will only be playing indy and old games going forward.
Nothing wrong with that many of them are great.

As for the management, well, there is no hope. They make the rules and as such, they decide what's ok and what isn't. I actually respect selfishness, just not shortsighted selfishness.

Look I don't want to be a dick, but sometimes you have to call things out. If an extra $10/euro is the breaking point for your budget maybe you should be investing your time in something other than gaming. Get that advanced degree, get a certification in a trade skill. Do something so that your budget is not so fragile that $10 in a month is not sending you to the poor house. Heck learn to cook so you order out pizza one time less per month. There's your $10 right there and then some. Healthier for you as well.
Since it's a single player narrative driven adventure game, it's not going to have a lot of replayability. No reason to keep it languishing in a Library list on Steam when you can pay less than half price and play the entire thing. Hell, even if you go back and play it again over a third month, that's still only ~$45.
So even for the frugal PC gamer, this game is an affordable title. It's going on EA Play day one.
If this were a game like Diablo, based on replayability, this wouldn't be the case.
Oddly enough, I'd be more willing to pay this for Jedi Survivor than D4, despite D4's replayability. Not out of love for EA, but because it's nice having games that are still presented as complete packages, not a GaaS mess that tries to nickel and dime us every day. Fuck Battle Passes.
1440p is becoming the standard and is only about 30% less resolution then 4k and lets you get better frames. I agree with who you replied too. If you took time to look at the size of games now vs 10 years ago, you could be shocked. UE5 games have more pixel's in the eye lashes then a full avatar from a game 5 years ago. You can buy 1tb M.2 drives for $80 bucks now and that will hold about 8-15 games. Thats the way of things now.
Funny how we applaud game developers standing up for better pay, reduced hours and unions. Studios have been trying to make these changes before they have to see their staff push unions on them. Yet on the other hand, we gamers get upset when we see a game go up by $10-20 bucks. Should we go back to slave labor for the devs?
You kind of need to make up your mind. Do you want employees to get paid well AND have an enforceable legal framework for bringing about change in their workplace or just good pay and they can shut the fuck up about everything else?
