VideoGamer: "How timing, knowing the market, and a lot of luck mean there could still be a place for 'double-A' franchises."
Here is a list of the best Nintendo Switch shooters while you wait for your girlfriend to come out from the hair salon.
The latest Humble Bundle will have 100 percent of proceeds going to support organizations responding to COVID-19. All told, there are 45 games included in the bundle as well as a number of comics, ebooks, and audiobooks.
"Sniper Elite III Ultimate Edition is an excellent port of the original game, and feels right at home on the Switch. Unfortunately repetitive gameplay prevents it from achieving greatness. Nevertheless I would like to pin the Thumb Culture Silver Award over its heart." Phil @ TC
How much does this game retail for?
The PC market is rife with "mid-budget" games and they launch at any fitting price. Some of them are great quality, and ditching the $60 retail model really seems to release some shackles.
I think consoles have the potential to follow that trend now that self-publishing is so popular, and even publishers may be able to take a piece of the action if they are forward-thinking. Child of Light is a good example.
It may be harder to support brick and mortar retailers though...
If it launched in a dry spell (which this game did) then sure it will briefly sell. But this isn't a cause of celebration as there needs to be very specific circumstances (I. E. nothing launching anytime soon) and early in a console life (one of the big reasons people bought it, like myself,is because they don't have a huge amount to play on their new systems. If this launched a year or two later I doubt it would have done so well)
I would buy it but I got to buy Forza 5 for my Xbone and The Last Of Us Remastered for my PS4. I enjoyed the hell out if Sniper Elite V2 on 360.
This retails the same price as any other ps4 game in the uk so wtf is all this "budget" talk??
