While recording a podcast for my gaming community tonight, we were discussing E3 this year and the announcements that were made. An interesting topic came up; one that I think could use a little more exploration. Basically, we were talking about video game franchises and in particular, franchises that include more than just a line of video games. 73mh
We have many popular game franchises that started off as movies, gamers and turn them into lifelong fans. However, this tactic is not as easy as it might seem.
There has to be a balance between bringing in the new coming back to check out the latest and greatest game.
Now if we apply this to Star Wars.
I can freely it that I have purchased games before mainly because it was Star Wars themed and with doing very little other research into it because I wanted to “give it a chance”. Some of those games, I did not care much for.
When Star Wars title, I am much more likely to check it out ‘just because.
Do you do the same with games?
If you’re on a tight budget, there’s a good chance you’re a little more particular with what you purchase but the premise is the same. If a gamer is devoted to a topic or franchise, they are much, much more likely to purchase other games in the series/franchise without as much deliberation.
They know it puts more money in their pockets. Sometimes it’s a good thing for the gamers. Other times not so much.
So in the grand scheme of things, how do you feel about this Star Wars legacy and games we might continue to see in the future?
The new movies coming out in coming fact that “It’s Star Wars!””
What might this mean for the future of Star Wars games?
