“With action games, particularly if it is a franchise, a lot of you cater to requests and the feedback of the old players, the problem is getting higher,” Igarashi further explained. “It means, even if they are players that enjoy action games, it gets more and more difficult to draw in new users.”
The team needed to enhance on the controls, which further needed eliminating medium staple low cost fall deaths. “I thought it had been okay to penalise the player after they went down,” he explained.
