Follow the companies those developers are now instead their former companies.
This is why I’m quite pessimistic about GTA6; it’s been 11 years since GTA5 was first released on the PS3 and Xbox360! A lot of people forget that an entire console generation passed without a new entry into the franchise.
The median turnover at games companies is significantly lower than 11 years, and even Dan Howser and Lazlow Jones have left Rockstar in the interim.
The likelihood that it will live up to player expectations, given how heavily Take2 have milked the hell out of Online via Shark Cards, is woefully low.
But I guess that’s the good part of being a pessimist; you’re either proven correct - or pleasantly surprised!
Square and Blizzard have been like that for ages now
Biowares been doing it too. They rested HARD on their Baldurs Gate laurels. So much so they didn't know how to react when they released DA2 to resounding mehs. And now you see it with mass effect and dragon age being the selling points.
Then theres back 4 blood with 6 or 7 of the original 190 people from Left 4 Dead, but they still claimed to be the same people who made it.
Have you played B4B? I just learned about it from your comment but it looks good!
More focus on character loadouts, no focus at all on levels. Compared to the campaign selections on L4D, it was a massive let down. They needed to drop the card system and just build more levels. Instead they made a bunch of skins and such.
It isn't left 4 dead 3. Personally I disliked it and never finished the main campaign. The levels I did sucked. But it's hard to beat the carnival from l4d2
There's a reason there was big hype, and then it fell out of existence, with videos on YouTube dedicated to unraveling the truth...
This has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen gamers complain about lately. Many studios have marketed like this - only Naughty Dog gets this reaction because it's cool to hate them now I guess.
Turtle Rock, Blizzard, and Rockstar also in this camp.
Gamers are sick of being offered bare minimum product riding on the tailcoat of previous successes. We want new and risky titles that were works of passion.
This meme we're commenting on is clearly a reaction to Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet which is an original IP. At the very least my comment specifically mentions Naughty Dog.
I want original content too and find your comment agreeable but it's not what this meme is communicating. The creator of this meme is simply coming off as whiny and saying a studio can't take pride in its history. The artists deserve much credit and I praise the real humans that make our favorite games possible but to say a studio shouldn't use their track record as a selling point is silly. Nobody would react this way to a FromSoft trailer saying "from the makers of Dark Souls and Bloodborne".
You and I must be seeing completely different memes, I've never heard of that space luigi shit.
"From a studio with the same name as the studio that brought you..."
"Hi, I'm the guy from the video you just watched. He's a clipshow of the video you just watched."
Well they're a corporation. They can't just say "from Feargus Urquhart", they'd have legal on their ass
And the fine tribals of Arroyo!
Or, the private-equity shell company that bought the name of the original studio from the company that bought out the company that bought them and shut them down 17 years ago.
Knowing what private equity buyouts happened for products recently would actually be super helpful while shopping for pretty much any product.
Sounds like a good idea! A website where you can enter a product or brand and it answers when it was acquired by private equity
And remember this... A lot of those developers made those games when they were the indie devs.
Could be worse, it could be Rare.
You mean Ultimate Play the Game?
Best game Battletoads hands down
