I'm excited about Phantom Rift, absolutely... very intrigued about MYSTERY GAME #2 (we have ZERO idea what this is, do we?) and obviously pumped about more Heroes and Castles (UNCONFIRMED BUT COME. ON.).... But Dinosaurs, permadeath and FPS? That's a surefire win. It could be like Jurassic Park:Trespasser, but launch better Duivs, you better get programming! you get 20% of my 1.99 that I will pay for that game, plus I'll throw you some IAP money as well.
I've got an even better idea, every time you die you can pay a few gems (premium currency) to revive! Every time you encounter a monster an ad pops up, and if you want to remove it you have to pay 99c! Il make the gems really hard to acquire, so that people are forced to buy them instead. Instead of pure FPS, il make it a match-3 game as well. It's also turn based. Quote: "This will make our game so much better"- almost every App Store game developer, 2014
It won't be another BF... It's going to be a new IP... But wha? I do hope they revisit, but gotta do what you gotta do!
What genres have they not tapped yet? -FPS (BF/NYZ2) -Rail shooter-y (NYZ1) -TD (BF/BH2) -zelda/roguelike (MA/Phantom Rift) -RPG (Bug Heroes Quest) -racing (Sky Gnomes) -Throwing knives at food (Mad Chef) -Bug Heroes 1 & 2 (own unique category) -MOBA (BF:Wars) -Castle... defense... (H&CI and forthcoming H&CII ) I think that covers them all... Just not a Card Collecting Game in the traditional way, Combat Monsters, Hearthstone, etc. its a pretty busy genre... Foursaken-style would be cool, mashed up with dinosaurs and music rhythm or something lol.
I never even gave it a swing, never found a game... I'm with the bros when it comes to MP. When only a small fraction even play it... Why make it a deal? Especially with the lack of good ways to communicate with peeps on iOS.
They haven't done a TBS game yet, but I think that PR's combat will technically cover that I still love FM multiplayer, but I think its prime was Heroes & Castles. I loved doing the versus mode as the Evil guys because it was so different and refreshing. To this day I say with confidence that H&C is my favorite iOS game ever.
Wish they would make a new N.Y. Zombies game but with an open world and maybe loot with random stats. However, I'm very excited for Phantom Rift!
Hey foursaken will you be able to view all the spells from the get go ? Or will it be as you find them? Also I'm pretty sure the Iap button was on the charachter screen. The money sign I would assume.
Just FYI, I think we should be announcing our next games very soon now... maybe even any day! Thought about something like this before, actually Randomly generated city blocks, setting up camps, scavenging, etc... who knows for the future though? You can only see how many spells you have found, but not actually what the undiscovered spells are.
