But the players still have the same environment to showcase their mastery. Counter-Strike or Dota 2 evolve with many improvements, becoming generally better games. Good, well-established shooting titles and MOBAs live for long, long years. It’s not like this with other competitive genres. But in the modern world, having no active only playerbase is a strong synonym of being a dead game. You don’t want to spend half an hour waiting for an opponent in an online lobby to then face a person of a drastically different skill level.Ī game may be totally playable and fully enjoyable offline - within its single-player modes or among friends. It pretty much feels the second reason is more important. too few people play them regularly and actively.no content is released anymore and no further support is planned.And those titles weren’t good/lucky enough to get remastered versions.īut some relatively modern fighting games are dead because: Many games are unplayable because the original devices are old. This term certainly goes far beyond technical features. It could not follow the community’s expectations and just slid to the dead state. And let us add only an example here - Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. You probably have some examples of dead fighting games in your head. But it is clear that at some point, both the developers and players will decide to move forward, and even those newest titles will be left behind. Anticipation is in the air for MK1 and Tekken 8.
One example of the initial excitement is Street Fighter 6 - the game is just great and the whole community is kind of obsessed with it. The community experiences the first excitement from trailers and can’t wait to actually play those matches… But in the obscurity of the future, we can already see this exact fresh game being dead.īoth ends of this process are apparent. A fighting game is born in the hearts and minds of developers.
