So comparing the number of kilometres long the map is does not necessarily directly translate to how "long" the game was to play. Those older games could take a VERY long time to play, so wouldn't have seemed as short then as they do now (to an experienced player, or a new player playing with the benefit of YouTube walkthroughs).
I mean, if you wanted to beat Battletoads it would have take you an insanely long period of time, if you could even do it at all, as but one of many examples.Īn experienced player speed-running an old RE or TR game is not the same as someone playing a modern (generally easier?) RE or TR game when it comes to game length. I think there's a sense that games have gotten easier over time, which has created the necessity of making them more expansive to keep the hours of playtime up. I'm not forgetting that, but I think there's a mitigating factor that your comment doesn't acknowledge. what are you going to go for? All UK prices are after VAT is added btw. In the UK it was £60 on XBL / PSN or £45-50 from some online retailer SE Steal book edition with special exclusive DLC. I presume in the US this isn't the case (I don't know) digital future there makes more sense because it's $60 in store or $60 online, no difference. They were seemingly stuck with a European store just you purchased in £s, there was no competition against them, so they charge what they wanted. Game would advertise "20% off" even on day one because well, it was 20% off the RRP which they were never going to sell it for anyway, it looks good.īut XboxLive, PSN and Nintendo online digital stores never did. So everywhere was competing with each other. "Hey we are buying CoD anyway, why not shop while we are here." etc. Over time with online stores appearing the same happened, then high street stores had to compete with the powerful supermarkets (Tesco and Sainsburys) who would lower even the cost of big released like CoD or FIFA on release day just so get people in their stores buying from them. People would go to them because they were cheaper (this is back in the day of £60 catridges). High street stores had a shop/rent/staff to pay for, these mail order places did not. The idea is that at first, dedicated game stores and PC stores used to have to compete with mail order retailers who could undercut them because they were just a warehouse somewhere. but I'd put it personally down to just how UK competition changed over the last 2 decades or more. This goes far older than the last couple of gens. Keep in mind, I'm no expert so take what I say with some personal bias. You can contact the author at or on Twitter.
