By the way, how many of these are PS5 exclusives?
Half of them are coming to PC, except for first party games... We'll see how long they can keep this up hehe.
Couple of them are timed exclusives
Regarding Games and Genres. Its obvious to anyone who has seen gaming since its early days that Gaming industry is running out of ideas.
False, you may dislike ideas depicted in entertainment, but there is no denying the fact that entertainment (including video games) is requiring more and more thinking on the viewer's side than ever before.
Remember how we used to die of laughter when a guy slips over and falls with quirky sound effects? Will they work today? Why not? Is it because the newest generation isn't capable of comprehending humor?
You can pick and choose different examples, there is amazing work, and there is simple work made in all times in history, the former being more and more common nowadays especially that our brains
crave stimulation, repeating the same thing over and over will slowly deteriorate the perception of consumers towards that thing.
That's why there are no old ps1 and to some extent ps2 equivalent of the Witcher, or RDR, or TLOU(debatable), there are more games today that compensate for the lack of gameplay with a compelling story than they were a few generations ago.
Those who dislike RE 8 concept are right but RE 2/3 remakes are worse. No originality of concept. And actually you would see many such old titles in coming generation that would be repackaging of Old gen games. Anyone who has been in gaming long enough may feel that its an insult
RE remakes aren't a resolution patch, it's a complete overhaul of the original games. You might not remember it for the right reasons but by today's standards most of the older games are completely unplayable, the thing is,
Nostalgia is a Bitch, and only as good as one(we're done with the bitch analogy) it'll be fun for an hour or so but after that, you start seeing with your eyes instead of your heart and you'll start saying wtf how was I playing this? I encourage you to go back and play your ps1 and 2 games on those platforms and you'll appreciate the work done on the RE remakes.
I was shocked when I played Shadow of the Colossus on the ps2 a while ago, because I vividly remembered how good looking and how smooth the framerates were, or at least that's what remembered using nostalgia goggles, the framerates were horrible I simply couldn't continue playing cuz I felt sick of how inconsistent they were.
The only game I tried that stood well against the test of time was RE4, that game is a masterpiece.
As for the new iterations of Resident Evil, they've done great, people like you are blinded with "FIRST PERSON BAD F%$# KOJIMA FOR PLAGUING US WITH P.T"
Not seeing what they game brought back to the table, Capcom successfully reincarnated the survival horror aspect of RE in a new frame.
They made a "mistake" with RE5 and 6 by shooting the fans at their foot with their statement saying they're targeting Call of Duty fanbase, needless to say these two games went on and sold out like crazy, topping the series sales charts.
With RE7 they've got back to the roots with a camera refresh, and they're continuing on with that trend because it worked well for them and their fanbase...well at the majority of them.
The same thing goes with GoW, Metal Gear, Zelda, and ironically RE4.
"He who tries pleasing everyone ends up pleasing no one"
And on top of that, add all the commercialization and monetization of game content & DLCs to milk consumers
No disagreeing there, most games use DLCs to milk more money, but there are games that provide more bang your buck DLCs, games the Witcher or Monster Hunter, you get more of those games for a fraction of the price. But still it's a problem for most games.
Rockstar games was pretty awesome in PS2 era. How many games does Rockstar studios make these days?
Quantity doesn't equal Quality, Rockstar used to make 4-3 ish games a generation, now they're taking it slow, way too slow actually, pumping only one game a generation, albeit much larger in scope, especially from a technological standpoint, just look at RDR2, they're basically flexing with what they can be capable of doing.
