| HollyGamer said: off course you cannot compare legendary game like GTA with XCX, XCX is just a baby that need recognition, and need some prove for the test of time and is not yet out so nobody can judge the game yet, But many studio has more reputation more the Monolith soft, so there is a lot of future possibility and nobody knows the future, but the real fact is no game has ever stand the test of time, there might be a nostalgia factor for some games but not for the quality. So claiming this game will not be surpassed with another new game from another studio is very naive. |
Why can't we compare? The point is imitating a design of a great game is not easy so why can't we compare? Fact is many have tried imitating GTA's design and couldn't do it better, XCX is not only regarded as the best JRPG to emerge from last gen even topping long running series like FF, SO, Tales etc... but is also seen as one of the best games from last gen, not an easy feat to imitate. Standing the test of time is how well a game holds up long after release and a number of games with good designs do that well it's not nostalgia. Chrono Trigger, OOT, Metroid Prime, FFVII, DMC3, Ninja Gaiden Black, SF3TS, Smash Bors. Melee etc... these are examples of games that are still fun and enjoyable to play even today long after release and that isn't down to nostalgia either that's a flawed way to think, they stood the test of time simply becaue their designs were really good and stand out even today.
If anything claiming another studio will surpass a game is far more naive as evidence and history has shown imitations rarely ever do so I doubt some imitation of XCX is just going to pop up like you claim.
