The $70 video game is inevitable

The next generation of console video games will cost more. $70 is expected to be the starting price point for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X titles. But it’s not all bad news.

I'm in at 300. If I can get a good trade in on my two other Xboxes I'll cop the 500 one.

Wow, Series S is a deal. $299 + games pass sub, and they'll probably throw in a month or two free with the box.

If I was still console gaming and not on PC, this would be my buy.

I guess my thing is how does console scale with 1440p, unless you're playing on a monitor. or do TVs run 1440p native?

Im reading that games are going to be $70?
Dayyyaam

depends on publisher i guess

CDPR has said it wont go 70 (for now)

I get it because of inflation and game development getting up there with movies.

People wages aint keeping up tho.
Lets see if they discount the digital versions..

 

[Master Zik]

So $140 for two new games possibly. I don't want to pay $120 for two now.

Wonder how they're going to determine who they're going to "lease" their systems to. Wonder when they'll start pre-orders as well since all of the info is out now.

Not trying to run my credit for a damn xbox.

Yeah that won't be the case for me either. I'm shooting for this purchase along with 6/12 months no interest with one of my credit accounts currently.

Big backlog=ability to wait for price cuts

I rarely buy games at release date unless I want to compete online while the popularity is up. Almost every game that I've bought in the last 3 year have been below $25.

microtransactions should've covered that difference tbh.

So do you think that no video game is worth more than $60 at all?
Should developers focus on smaller titles with lower budgets in order to keep the production cost down?

People want these astronomical experiences that have longer gameplay, bigger worlds etc. but don't want to pay for it. You got dudes out here dropping 200+ hours in BotW and expect the sequel to deliver even more but don't want to pay for it.

I understand people not wanting to pay more, hell I don't think anybody wants to pay more but I was already expecting it. I was expecting with PS4/X1. Personally, I'm just going to be more selective on what I purchase day one. I don't even have the time life I used to.

I don't even think most of the games I play have MTX.

 

[townbidness]

They need to add the DLC content already with that $70 game.

 

[MajinZuub]

I think 2k is the only game confirmed dropping for $70 so far

Black friday for video games is

How does that help with development costs of the base game? DLC has production costs too. Maybe I'm looking at this wrong but I don't understand how people expect to pay the same price for a product in 2020 that they payed in 2000 even though it costs a lot more to produce today. We don't pay the same price to go the movies as we used to
