Matchmaking took upwards of 10 minutes. Maybe they could capture a core audience but all that waiting would alienate even more people. Increasing the wait time even more. They could have invested more money and re-release it, but how much money would it take to overhaul the game. And there is no guarantee, that a 2.0 would be played more. So giving it up is probably the best solution, not burning even more money. Keep in mind, it costed about 400 million $ to make.

Hi all,

I just played the first level of Fallen Aces. I’m amazed how great the level design really is. Somehow it feels a bit like a Metroid game. Every part of the map is connected - at first it looks like you have to backtrack long routes but after looking around, you can find a lot of shortcuts. You can even avoid most of the enemies. Discovering the map and fooling around felt so refreshing. I even made a video with all the secrets. They lineup so perfectly it’s ingenious. By all means, I’m not speedrunner, but I felt the rush of speed running. I played the first map for 2 hours and now I can do it in 4 minutes :D The combat feels quite good as well, but I'm not really a fan of the rotating sprites (like in the original Doom).

What are your thoughts on the game?

Oh, and here is the video if you wanna see my "perfect" route: https://youtu.be/aPUyciDaJvo

I think, it is the real world logic that makes it hard to grasp. If you divide something with something small it becomes bigger. Mathematically it's easy and makes sense, but it it's somehow not intuitive. Especially for young me :)

Well it's probably cheaper than to innovate on the hardware front (display, performance, Joy-Cons, etc.) . And since they have an insane amount of money, it think they can keep doing this for quite some time...

 

WTF - Rest in peace... I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!

 

WTF - That's a lot of repos... -.-

Fake news, but great to have this info here. It‘s always good to know what is going on everywhere.

The Sweet Baby Inc. situation is taking this to another level currently. Maybe it's my bubble, but it seems everyone is talking about it.
