yeah bruh, you're way late :D It's how you pledge funds. Edit: you can pledge by purchasing in game funds too. First I've heard of that. Derp on me. But most people are buying ships or ship packages.
Have you purchased a ship yet? I haven't. Money is tight for games, let alone the computer upgrades I'm going to have to make to play this.
Maybe you will one day. I suspect this game will be around for a while. It's not going to be an Electronic Arts or Activision situation where they come out with sequel after seque. It's going to be more like an MMO, with incremental additions and improvements.
I'm wary of using launch as forecast. Launch windows sales are the easy part. Early adopters, tech geeks, obsessive game geeks. Launch sales are not a projection of prolonged, mainstream interest.
On a side note, this whole record breaking thing in the media is a bit of spin and misdirection, as they're not putting the sales records into context. The PS4 had the best single day launch, but experienced a relatively sharp drop off after the first month and is trailing the Wii over the same amount of time at this point. This actually supports your prediction that PS4 could sell 100 million all said and done, as the Wii did so and was a lot cheaper, but I'm commenting on the media's habit of massaging facts to arrive at the narrative they want to spin. Again. They and Sony also b.s.about PS4 shortages. I live in a major city, they're sitting on shelves at major outlets, while supposedly Nintendo couldn't keep up with demand for the Wii, for months on end. I have a network of friends in major cities across the country that can say the same.
I don't see either console selling as many units as their predecessors within the same period of time. Continuing economic depression, economic deflation, lack of mass interest, the potential ramifications of increasing budgets, no new multi-media hook (PS2 and PS3 doubled as DVD/BR players when those mediums were still fresh), significant population and societal decline in Japan, consoles not offering any compelling new value (software or hardware wise), increasing competition from other devices and entertainment venues.
I'm setting my target low: 60-70 million tops for Xbone and PS4 each.
A cross between Cranston and some British actor I've seen before.
Castle in the Sky is a big influence not only on this game, but many Japanese games that have come out over the past 27 years.
I don't think so. It's designed around that number of players. From the beta videos I've seen, it seems to work exceedingly well. The small number of game modes and unit types could be a problem though.
The caveat is that if it's not coming to PC, I'm not going to play it. Doesn't mean it's one of the more interesting games coming out this year to me.
Yep. Homicidal protocol droids are just one of the many nods to System Shock 2.
