PSBlog: Slam, smash, and boost your way to fame in Destruction AllStars, coming to PS5

Have high hopes for this one - looks like a lot of fun, and the presentation/graphics look amazing! Hoping they don't drown it with too many micro-transactions.
Yeah - it sucks that the price is going up on games, but I've been paying the same price for games since the 90s - I'd say we had a good run.

? Ok I don't get this reference and in my life I have never been to that website not once in the past 25 years of being on the internet.
Games aren't priced solely based on their budgets. If they were then something like Street Fighter V wouldn't cost as much as God of War. $60 was normalized despite there not always being a budget justification for it. Some studios will charge less, but most will just follow the pack.
For a multiplayer games like this, the price is also off-putting because with Sony's track record of killing servers so quickly. Furthermore the value of these games comes from other players, and I don't think enough people would buy it at that price for the community to exist that would make it worthwhile in the first place. So even if I personally would by the game at that price, I don't think enough other people will do to make it worth it.
It seems Sony has rolled out the ability to pre-order PS5 games (at least this one). The page confirms the game has micro-transactions.
MTX confirmed
Oh no no no no

I guess it was always obvious that publishers will just do both
Yeah first thing that stood out to me is the diverse roster of characters. Like they actually made an effort with these designs and I appreciate it a lot
I just liked his joke that is all :(
But fine I'll edit my post.
Yup it looks tons of fun but the younger audience doesn't seem to be into it just going by some of these posts
Yep. Some people are in for a very rude awakening if they really thought MT will go away
Era is full of corporate apologists that can hand wave away anything or try and put the blame on players for not liking something obviously dodgy.
All these companies report they are making more money than ever but at the same time apologist Era thinks they're about to go bankrupt and to "think of the devs" (who have already been paid for their work).
$70 for a new multiplayer-focused IP with MTX launching in under two months, zero uncut gameplay shown so far. People must be lining up around the block.
AAA is about cost of development, there are very different types of AAA cost.
So I got to ask what's wrong with the MTX? We still don't know how it works in this game, only thing we know is that yes its in the game, and that you can earn the same currency by playing the game. Isn't it a bit to early to freak out? Could just be a way for people to buy the cosmetics they want immediately which I see no problem with. That said we just plain old need to see more of this game in general lol
if this game wasn't a launch title it would have been the biggest bomba ever...still might be.
If pubs are going to shove 70 bucks down peeps throats then they are going to have to realize that this type of game doesn't stand a chance in that market. Everyone wants a Fortnite or Rocket League without realizing that a big part of it was that shit was free - cheap.

I appreciate the attempt, but they need to show more gameplay and go a lot further into detail on this if it's something I would ever actually pick up. Good on Sony for having another launch title, but this does just kind of look like your standard launch title/early life game for a new console.
Micro-transactions suck, but they aren't going away in multiplayer games any time soon.

Looks fine but not that remarkable. For that price tag and MTX, I feel this game is DOA. Probably a steep discount early to pull people in. I hope I'm wrong but with a fairly packed holiday season, I just can't see this game gaining any kind of traction.
Of course, but this game does not cost enough to be "10€" more expensive than TLOU2 or GoT no matter what.
Let's not kid ourselves.
This. And the characters are not All-Stars that I can tell at all.
Still not sure hwo the combo of an amazing concept, arena destruction derby, got folded in with the unknown characters running around on foot.
Does it have multiple arenas? Multiple cars per character? Or do you pick your guy independent of your car? Is it a driving version of Overwatch?
MTX + $70 + zero raw gameplay trailers + a painfully generic name + no apparent "all-star" characters despite the game name...
I feel bad for the devs. It looks like Lucid has been hustling to make ends meet for YEARS now, and this is their first potential spotlight game since Bizarre folded. I sure hope there's a fun game here, but weaving MTX, or MTX-like progression, into a retail-priced GaaS service has been a death knell for so many brand-new IPs in the past five years. OnRush in particular should've been the pow-bang wake-up call for the producers here. But this feels super OnRush-y so far, with a barrel of ideas slamming together in ways that aren't clearly getting communicated to potential players.
If I'd been involved, I would've started by suggesting a MUCH different thematic pivot. Maybe play around with "destruction derby" as a theme and called this Derby Girls, as a twist on Derry Girls...

Neither does GoT cost the same to be price the same as TLOU2.
We dont know how much it cost to develop, so we cant come to that conclusion, The game is being sold as AAA, if it fails we will know.
The blog says this money can only obtained with playing. No MTX$70 game that probably has micro-transactions? No thanks.
.
Just see the MTX. Fuck
Launch titles never flop? If the choice is this or demon souls, well....
Already preordered. It's probably my most anticipated launch title because it's part of a genre that doesn't get much representation nowadays, and I've always loved car combat going back to the PS1.
I will say this though, that netcode better be rock solid at launch as this game is already on thin ice with a lot of gamers. This thread is solid proof of that.

Its probably just cosmetics and we know you can earn the currency in game. People who were expecting MTX to go away with $70 games were fooling themselves, but they've already confirmed their content roadmap is comprised of free updates
We saw how that went with other games. 3 months after launch, post reviews, all of a sudden you can buy it in store.
I mean it's also a $70 priced game which is competing with other games like Spider-Man ($50) and Demon Souls ($70)
Yeah, it loooooooooooooooks so horrible. /s
nice bullshot. Im talking about the horrible art design.
Why would that be a bullshot?
And no one is going to know you were giving your opinion on the art direction if you're just gonna post a low effort drive by comment like "looks horrible."
Game looks great visually and the gameplay idea sounds interesting...But I'm not going to drop 70 on it. This just isnt one of those games you ask people to shell out 70 on at a console launch. Would definitely in the 30-40 range.
I cautiously want this to be another Driveclub or Onrush, where I wasn't interested but after they launched I ended up loving them. But $69.99 for what obviously is a GAAS game with microtransaction is just too much of a hard sell. I hope there will be a demo or beta.
I mean, I guess that should apply to everything - not just projects where known ERA members have worked on.

The blog post says a new trailer is coming soon. If not today definitely this week since Sony seems to be opening up the launch game previews
Are there other car based games at launch? Not everyone wants to play demon souls. And chances are if you can afford a $500+ box on launch during a pandemic, you're probably grabbing more than one game
November?
We got ps4 games imediatly though. Resogun and contrast (I think) were what we got in nobember 2013.
In response to to other person who quoted me. Hope the plus collection isn't all were getting. A bunch of games I've already beaten and days gone isn't a strong selling point to me.
True but PS5 doesnt really have that initial push of indie games like PS4 did. They'll leverage the PS4 library for the first few months probably since they couldn't do the same with PS4 launch (no BC).
I dont recall getting any Vita games for free at launch but maybe I dont remember lol
