pubg doesnt compete with overwatch. the only game thats managed to successfully live alongside overwatch is paladins because it doesnt even try to compete and simply accepts its role as a poorfag's overwatch.

>if people are tired of FPS why is CS:GO still the top 3 active games?
Not sure why are you asking me this since I never said that the fps genre is dying.

But the champion shooters definitely are the new trend and we see too many games of that genre. I doubt any game will actually compete with Paladins, which established itself very well as a f2p game. Not even gonna mention Overwatch here.

Lawbreakers failed because

>>389492032
It's just another average game in an oversatured market segment. If you want to play a class based shooter there are over a dozen of titles and the older ones just have more content or better balance.
Regardless, I had my 40 hours of fun with it - more than I got out of some more expensive recent games I tried.

>>389492765
Randy please, its time to let go.

>>389492784
That game weighs like 50 fucking gb so even when it went f2p people didn't bother downloading it even as a tryout

There's something about the games industry nobody really talks about.

Luck is the most important variable for 95% of game developers.

If you are Ubisoft, you're probably ok, but if not, you're fucked.

You could be a kid in a bedroom, or you could be 100 guys with $50m in funding. The world doesn't care.

If your game doesn't tap into the zeitgeist, if that one youtuber that would have started the ball rolling doesn't pick up your game because they were ill for a week, if Steam does a random weekend deal on a competitor, if some obscure pixel indie shit flavour of the month is hogging the /v/ threads... if any of this infinite list of shite happens, you are SCREWED.

It's quickly becoming like the music/film industry where about 5 game franchises make 99.9% of the revenue.

The golden age of creativity and experimentation is ending, the era of games as a business has begun.

There's no real catch. You unlock champions with currency you earn ingame. You can't get pay to win weapons, since all you can do is customize skins for them. And you have cards that you unlock with essence that people have been mad about for months.

You can easily unlock everything just by playing a few matches a day and getting good with more than one champion. t. 70h in paladins

Because character shooters are a niche that's already being filled. People who like character shooters are already playing either Overwatch or Paladins. They aren't going to go out and pick up a new game when they're already having fun with the one they have. These devs are stupid for trying to jump on the bandwagon instead of making something different, especially with a multiplayer-only game that's heavily reliant on having a dedicated player base.

>>389491934
Games in this past decade simply don't push the medium forward we're deep into the diminishing returns and the golden age of the 90s-00s is dead. Market is oversaturated with more of the same shit, people become entrenched in games they've invested time into and don't want to bother with another game that's objectively better.

>>389493021
The market IS oversaturated for fps hero/champion shooters.

From the popular ones you already have Overwatch, Paladins and TF2. Releasing a new game, especially at a cost when these three are available is simply stupid.

>The golden age of creativity and experimentation is ending, the era of games as a business has begun.
That I agree. The lucky part not so much.. they really pay youtubers and fake high number of players to gain attention
Still I agree there is some luck when it comes to gaming community hype.
The reason why I don't play western games is due to this fact. Last game I bought was Assassins Creed III and it was so bad I promised never to buy a western game unless it's a thing like Sonic Mania or Horizon (which I got 25% off day 1).
Anyway I'm happy with low budget japanese games even if they are repetitive like SAO, Akiba's Beat and Valkyria Revolution.

>>389492938
>begun

It has been in motion for quite a few years now.

Too bad the betas for FlopMakers did everything wrong.
The balance was always fucked up, maps and game modes were poorly designed, and the low gravity gimmick was just that, a shitty gimmick.
When most of your beta is comprised of a single class pick you know something was fucked up.
It had its chance to shine, but the betas didn't do their job.
I've never played a beta that actually deters people from wanting a game until this piece of shit.

I really wanted to like it too, but the game had way too many problems.

>>389493434
Agreed. Snipers are pure cancer.

>>389493612
so is this game gud or what

>>389493528
Yea nice early access ends in 1 year and they still have the netcode that uses 10x more upload than any other games. Also 0 dmg rockets. But most importantly they butchered duel which was the only sensisible mode in the series. Yay 8 man FFA that sure is fun the map totally has pickups enough for EIGHT players and I sure love getting shot in the back with 3s respawns and hurr durr who gets quad gets 10 kills!..

I never saw Quake working with anything that involves more players because the maps just dont support it. Look at a game like TF2. You play 12v12 and theres only like 8 medpacks in the map and most of them are small ones. Hmm I wonder how this will work out? Then after you get pocked or equip black box you somehow do 10x better how could this be? In Lawbreakers theres plenty of hp pickups and maps are max 5v5 and theres also 3 health stations per map that can heal you to full.

>>389492646
It really upsets me that /v/ did everything they could to kill this game. Even moreso that they succeeded. /v/ spends all their time killing good games, and after they finished off battleborn they moved onto lawbreakers.
Way to go /v/, you hate creativity and fun. Good for you. Maybe one day you'll go outside, get a girlfriend and feel bad about everything you've done.

>These devs are stupid for trying to jump on the bandwagon

I've seen some interview where they indicate that they were into development by the time they got wind of Overwatch. Between that and the facts that it was the first outing for the developers (Cliffy B's experience notwithstanding) and they had to get published through Nexon, it's probably more a story of dragging feet and loving the smell of their own farts far more than anything else.

I doubt the monkeys in marketing ever got eyes on this turd until they were realized that they were well and truly fucked -- at which point they decided to abandon F2P a couple months before Overwatch went live presumably to squeeze any possible value out of initial sales.

And then they took another year and a half to push the turd out anyway, which is likely symptomatic of the aforementioned feet dragging.

>>389503461
>at which point they decided to abandon F2P a couple months before Overwatch went live
I still don't understand this. Nexus is a company that largely does FTP shit anyways, and DirtyBomb seems to be doing okay for what it is. If i was to juke retards out of their money, why not have it launch on the Xbone, a console very much hurting for games? So any questions, yet this game doesn't deserve the processing to figure the answers.

God damn their marketing team was a fuckup.

>>389504380

>why not have it launch on the Xbone, a console very much hurting for games?
