Lose-lose situation.īeta is another story. The players don't get a good experience, and the devs don't get qualify feedback. The game at that stage is often broken, with a lot of features possibly under-developed It will create a lot of frustration in the fan base, which spirals into a loud background noise that doesn't really contribute to anything. My actual opinion is, I prefer no alpha testing, but a semi-closed beta would be great, provided that they really plan to listen to community feedback.Īlpha seems like a cool fan service, but often falls short in terms of efficiency. Especially if they have to do one on each platform the game is planned for. But it will undoubtedly effect the production of the game if they're behind schedule. Only the devs know what state the game is in, and if it's feasible to do this however. An alpha/beta/demo can take away valuable time from production if the game desperately needs it.
The biggest issue/deterrent is production time.

It may take away some of the mystique, but regardless a full map reveal, vehicle roster, and feature reveal, as well as any potential roadmaps for live content/DLC, should be revealed before release. NFS 2015 is the only one that comes to mind, and it too served to build hype for the game. On the flip side, open world racing games rarely do betas. Nioh 1 & 2 come to mind with Alpha/Beta/Demos that resulted in great end products, while also establishing hype in the process. Pre-release feedback would prove valuable for the end product and initial reviews, helping to set the tone for the identity, reception, and reputation of the game.
And it would be better if we could assist before, rather than after launch. Especially on things like handling & such. I ask this because it seems that community feedback has a level of importance. Should the devs host a demo for a game of this calibur? With say, limited events/vehicles? Or is it better for us to be surprised?
