SNK is truly the reverse Konami

SNK is doing well now thanks to licensing and mobile

If you're still backing a company like capcom despite their shitty practices you deserve to get shat on you little faggot.

where is new Metal Slug then

BUT THEY MAKE GOOD PRODUCTS.

gematsu.com/2019/04/new-metal-slug-for-console-neo-geo-2-and-3-in-development

See thats a good idea but it wont make any waves because its a niche game and it wont sell well at all. Good idea, but it wont be picked up from other companies.

No they don't. They objectively don't. They make the shittiest incomplete packages around. Certain parts of them may be good but it doesn't matter how good a car's engine is if you don't put wheels on it.

>People are praising pre-order exclusive free season passes now
What about just making it free content?

DLC budgets are separate from the budget for the core game.

That's a stupid thing to say and you're a stupid person for saying it. That DLC budget only exists because the company directed funds from other avenues. If the DLC subdivision folded that would leave said funds available for other investments. You're a fuck wit. The money all comes from the same pie.

Two top contenders for GOTY come from Capcom, you fucking hater.

Not the compliment you think it is.

Well they re-railed DMC after making a bad decision with it last go-around so that's still a good thing.

How many are in the base game?

Im glad someone else said it. The guy youre replying to is a retarded animal.

That's... actually pretty awesome. One of the only ok times to actually preorder the game. Not too many examples wheres ok and is actually better to preorder game

Game releases 25th so it's not a pre-order bonus, more like an early adopter bonus

But it is not pre-order exclusive. It lasts for 5 days AFTER game's release.

Fighting games are budgeted this way because updating them is an absulutely cruicial part of supporting game's lifespan. So it's either DLC characters or Super editions for 40 bucks a year or two later. And in this case you are getting whole season worth of 4 characters who aren't even finished yet for free.

>Fighting games are budgeted this way because updating them is an absulutely cruicial part of supporting game's lifespan

This is the kind of retarded mental gymnastics that FGCucks and other pro gamers insist upon that have done nothing but destroy gaming as a whole. A game's life span exists so long as people are playing. And that doesn't mean just on line. Spreading out seasons is just a bullshit way to nickle and dime morons like you who think they need to stay competitive.

>still not available in EU

>A game's life span exists so long as people are playing.
Yes and people quit playing faster if the game gets no updates to fix it or spice things up. So it's either that or super editions or a game being dead year later regardless of how good or bad it is.

And again, nickel and diming does not even apply in this case as you have a whole week of time after user reviews will start dropping to decide whether to get this game with it's future DLC characters being free.

That's not how it works.

The reason why DLC content is so good for companies is not just because it allows them to double-dip (though that certainly plays a role as well), it's because it ensures that their team can keep working at full capacity.

It's always been a big issue with game developers that after finishing a game, or often even before finishing it, you'd have a wave of layoffs. After all, if your character models are done and you're going to focus on bugfixing/balancing for a while, and besides taht it'll take a year or more of planning and negotiating with publishers to even start work on your next game, it quickly becomes unaffordable to keep your character modelers on the payroll when there's literally nothing for them to do for the next year or two. With DLC, you can shuffle your modelers from your core team to your DLC team and pump out some new characters/costumes while your code monkeys are on standby to fix any bugs that may pop up after release. This is a much more efficient and healthy way of working because it not only gives you a reason to keep your team together, it also gives you a financian incentive to do so through DLC sales.

There's no such clear divide as a core division and a DLC division, and scrapping the DLC budget will in no imaginable way make the core team able to deliver a better game.

Listen dude. I am all for keeping fighting games alive with DLC as long as it is not on disc but only trannies use "muh developers :(((" as an argument.

>If you're still backing a company like capcom's fighting games division* despite their shitty practices you deserve to get shat on you little faggot

Fixed that for you. Capcom have been absolutely based on all other metrics lately

I hope it flops. Nothing brings a smile to my face than to see a struggling dev.

Too late, game already paid by itself just with pre-orders

>use "muh developers :(((" as an argument
I'm not arguing anything other than that your claim that removing DLC will somehow make the core game better is wrong and based on an entirely misguided notion of how game development works.

This is a thread about a fighting game, it's a fair comparison.

You guys realize that this is just a giant ploy right? There is only 16 characters in the game, the lowest they've ever released. This "free dlc" is just cut content they were going to put in the game for free anyways.

>, the lowest they've ever released
That isn't even true for the Samurai Shodown series.

Why do people start making such weird claims with no proof when DLC is involved?

I don't disagree but supporting capcom's other endeavors is perfectly fine. Their fighting games have been an unqualified fucking mess since SFV tho for sure

>the lowest they've ever released
Pretty sure I and III had less characters

Considering they are releasing not one but TWO new consoles I'd say pretty soon

It is the same people who keep spamming that the game will be dead in 2 months in every good news thread about it. Sad sfvcucks venting out their insecurities and terrified of the prospect of samsho approaching sfv's numbers at evo through positive PR.

Games literally already made a profit lmao

Alright, I'll admit it's hyperbole, but I think it's pretty sketchy that KOF 14 can come out with 50 fighters but Samsho only gets 16 even with the decision to make them virtually the same as their previous incarnations.

>One game looks like a PS2 game
>One looks like a modern game

Hmm really makes you think where all the effort went?

this is nothing to be applauded, shit like "season pass" shouldn't even exist in the first place.

I could hazard a guess why

Is Nako cute and funny?

Season passes are fine if you know what you're getting. It's season passes that expect you to buy in without telling you what you're getting that are bullshit.

Unist has had 0 updates and dlc chars since launch and the player base has just gotten bigger and bigger

It is equal to 2 as well, apart from you could play Kuroko on some console ports. Pretty sure he is a busted extra as well. It is lower than I'd like. But threads like these are clouded by shitposts, and people who don't remember how bad fighters use to be with editions and waiting years for imperfect arcade ports. So many classics would be ripped apart if they had equivalent releases today.

>Unist has had 0 updates
UNIst? You mean Under Night In-Birth, or Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late or the upcoming Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late [cl-r]? Oh wait you mean Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], sure am glad the game was a one time purchase.

Except it had a bunch of updates and was still dying down until that evo announcement and will be guaranteed to go back to dying after EVO because it is getting no scene support.

17 retard

not free because it's only for a limited time

That's what I was kind of implying with my post Apparently the situation with micro-transactions and season passes is so bad in the current industry that we literally CLAP when we see an attempt to gain interest from potential buyers over something that shouldn't be there to begin with.

Its not exclusive, there wasn't a really planned out preorder thing so they just threw this onto ANY "pre"purchase for the game.
The freepass will be offered until after the 31st for the people who didn't even buy it week-1.
You can literally pick it up at the store day-1 and get a code(If you ask probably)

the dead game meme is stupid anyway because we now know the ghost dojo is basically their means to reduce the problem of "not finding anyone" online as long as even two or three people submit their training ghost to the cloud. That shit is a great idea and i'm sad more people aren't talking about its potential.

Hope they dont jew PC and switch users out of this.

The ghost stuff has been tried before, Tekken has had it for a while. Maybe it will be better this time but it is usually never that amazing.

The idea is great.
Now I hope the implementation is better, because this looks like an IA with just a few tweaks to pretend it has a playstyle.

No it isn't you necrofucker. 16 is already a legal used up whore age in many countries. Cunny line is at 12. 13 at best if she's a late bloomer.

That logic is retarded. Money that goes towards DLC will go towards some form of paid content. If they earmark 1 million dollars for DLC development that they expect to result in $2 million profit, then suddenly decide not to make DLC, then that 1 million dollars isn't going to suddenly go to free content, it'll go towards some other form of paid content.

why does he have a milk mustache

Expectations are going to be subverted.
