Marvel Rivals game director Thaddeus Sasser explains why every video game plays so similarly to each other in the modern era.
NetEase’s upcoming superhero hero shooter Marvel Rivals seems like an easy win after the colossal failure of contemporaries like Concord. In an interview with VideoGamer on the latest episode of the VideoGamer Podcast, game director Thaddeus Sasser agreed that the game should be an easy win, but only because of the hard work put in by the team.
The switching cost is too high… And I think the same is true for a lot of games. If you learn how to play a game really well on one kind of control device, you’re not really going to go seek out a new type of control devicem right?” Sasser explained that the “switching cost” is why its so hard to get gamers to change from console to PC, or vice versa, as well as why so many games follow extremely similar control schemes.
