@stukapooka If breaking even is not reached, is the garden warfare series over

- @DecreeNo9 Maybe, as it would mean bfn lost money for the franchise overall and rather than admit that they just messed up and released a poorly made game no one wanted popcap/EA could just pull a chibi robo and just go "well I guess garden warfare isn't popular or profitable anymore" and cancel it despite the overwhelming support for a true gw3 that the fans are showing and then if pvz 3 fails p opcap could be deemed unprofitable by ea than shut down as they've done to many studios even if the games themselves do okay 'cough dead space 3 cough'.
I hope this isn't the end but popcap has done nothing to convince me otherwise for the series especially given that popcap Vancouver became motive Vancouver after bfn flopped so i doubt will see anything soon. - @stukapooka BFN failed, the GW series was lost, pvz3 failed, the whole PVZ series, it's terrible
Besides breaking even, is there any way?
- @DecreeNo9 Popcap/EA would have to admit bfn was a failure and move on, it's hard but with a talented team and some faith could potentially pull it if they could ever convince EA for another chance.
Pvz 3 just makes me sad as such a fan of the original game, though while I didn't hate pvz 2 I'm just tired of the sequels to such a masterpiece of a game being tainted by greed and reduced to mobile exclusives and it doesnt help that popcap promised a rework after the massive backlash to 3 but sadly haven't said anything about it afterwards.
I'm honestly just depressed to see how hard this series has fallen after what looked like a revitalization of one of my favorite series. - @stukapooka PVZ made PopCap, PVZ ruined PopCap. I don't hate PVZ. I just hope PVZ can operate for a long time. I don't know if pvz3 needs to be purchased. If it needs to be purchased, I will still buy it, because we all love PVZ
- @DecreeNo9 Yeah it's ironic how the same game that put them on the map years ago has now all but erased then from relevancy in 1 game like wow that's impressive.
- @stukapooka It seems that EA is unlikely to give a second chance.
- @DecreeNo9 Yep EA hates to lose money.
- @stukapooka But a lot of games will definitely make money if they continue to operate
- @DecreeNo9 Yeah thats why I hope they just write off bfn as a mistake.
- @stukapooka How far is the game from breaking even? I think of a place where a group of Chinese Forums love PVZ. Maybe I can tell them and ask them for help
- @DecreeNo9 I don't know I truly don't, maybe you could find something but I simply dont know.
- @stukapooka Well, I'll turn to them for help
- @DecreeNo9 Good luck
- @stukapooka Is it OK to buy on every platform? Some people in the forum don't have a switch
- @stukapooka Is it OK for the game to reach break even on the whole platform? Not just switch?
- @DecreeNo9 Yeah, it just has to do it overall not just for one specific console it could break even by Xbox sales or pc sales.
- @stukapooka At present, I only have about 150 US dollars. I have launched a call for help in the forum, but I haven't received any reply. I'll try my best to send more. Do have any news about pvz3 now?
- @DecreeNo9 Still nothing but pvz 2 events on their twitter.
- @stukapooka Pvz3 doesn't seem to be very good
@DecreeNo9Its not good at all, the players were full of backlash as the game had an ugly 3d art style (as many have pointed 1&2 artstyle works well so why fix what isnt broken), killed sunflowers and made them auto generate over time, forced grindingn, multiple currencies to shove as many microtransactions as possible.
The backlash was big that the game was pulled back and p opcap promised a rework but so far nothing has come out about it since.
You can go watch danerades video for more information about how bad it was.@stukapookaPvz3 should return to the style of 1 and buy out
3D style is not suitable for PVZ, so I feel it will improve the configuration requirements of mobile phone. Although I play pvz2, I spend more time playing pvz1
- @DecreeNo9 I agree on the return to form.
I believe the garden warfare games have showed us pvz can work in 3d but pvz 3 is just painful to look at (just look at imp in 3 and then every other iteration besides bfn like wth did they do to him) and I would prefer a 2d artstyle for the tower defense games. - @stukapooka My friend asked me why GW didn't transplant the mobile platform. To be honest, I don't know how to answer. It seems to be a huge project. No one knows what it will be like to compress a 17g game into 5g
- @DecreeNo9 Yeah a 3 dimensional shooter with complex mechanics and expanding maps wouldn't really translate well to og pvz formula despite how hard ops tries, though it can be done through heavy downgrading as seen with cod zombies on mobile for both world at war (no longer available for modern devices rip) and bo1.
