It takes strength intelligence creativity to make something like TLOU and take a risk on it, there is nothign strong about recycling old concepts for decades. Iv played both and there is little fun about playing the same thing over and over with no story no characters and still the basic run and jump being majority of the game for most of their biggest games. Clearly im not talking about moronic blow shit up, but games like mass effect where your decision means a character is dead or not or emotionally driven games liek TLOU. Sure theres a lot of pointless viloence just like there once was a lot of pointless kiddyness to games. Your baseless opinions does not mean its a fact. you can post opinions all you want but facts are. In the last 4 years nintendo has released nealry 30 games featuring mario. How many do they make that do not feature mario. This year alone 4 of their major game releases feature predominantly Mario. Hell how many games does nintendo make that do not feature catrooni art ? While in the last ten years nintendo released over 70 games featuring freaking Mario, sure looks like they are giving up on originality making new stories concepts characters and just pushing mario in everything and avoiding risk. Might wanna look at games sony releases so you dont look ignroant on this topic. Shooter and sports audience lol, do you have any knowlage at all about wtf you are posting. Sony makes only MLb they dont make or cater to sports fans all that much. Do take a look at sonys releases in the ps3 gen just to see how wrong you are and clealry just posting your emotions and negative wish full opinions that have nothing to do with reality. or do i have to educate you ? |
TLOU was not a risk. Sony sells itself on making violent games and coming out with new franchises all the time. TLOU was the norm for Sony, and it wasn't a risk at all. You make a zombie game and you are guaranteed to make your money back even if the console fails. Look at ZombiU for that. I credit them for making new characters all the time, but the gameplay is as unimaginative as it gets.
And what would Sony's alternative be for playing it safe anyways? They don't have a lot of franchises to rehash you know. If it makes them a lot of money they rehash it like everything else.
Yes I have admitted how many times now that Nintendo reuses characters... So what.. They change the gameplay up every time so what does it matter. Which is exactly what you still haven't defended on Sony's part yet. They just drop new characters into the same engine. That's why they churned those games out so fast, they just changed the characters and used the same exact engine. That's worse than what Nintendo does because they rebuild Mario from the ground up every time. That's why you only see 1-2 3D mario/Zelda games a generation in comparison with Naughty Dog who made 4 games because they could cut costs on the engine. Not to mention they have stated they intend to continue using that engine on the PS4 as well.
I didn't say that they don't have other franchises other than FPS, I said they are getting worse and more generic. Their variety is getting narrower and narrower.
