AAA's looking more and more mismanaged by the year. Like I get indies take their time, but boy, the past 5ish years have seen delay after delay with marginal improvements when it comes to the AAA side. ppl waited for patch 9.2 for WoW, all they got was nerfed gear and more janky systems (which no one asked for). Then there's Cyberpunk many months later with a Minimap fix. I swear most AAA studios are run only by suits these days. Gone are the days where it was passion and innovation first, now all we're getting are delays and slight incremental improvements, but it ain't worth the wait/asking price if you ask me. |
Yea it feels like a lot of innovation has gone out the window for a safe and more generic approach for a lot of AAA developers. Instead of aiming for a certain audience, these games are trying to cater to the masses and doing a poor job even at that.
I am still quite annoyed when it came to cyberpunk. It had so much potential from a very well know and beloved developer yet they managed to goof it. I am not an xbox fan but I don't recall people loving 343 to my knowledge and these devs continue to goof it up. MCC's original xbox launch was terrible. Halo 5 was disliked by many and Infinite gameplay reveal last year was a disaster. How many times does 343 need to goof up before MS realizes that 343 isn't worthy of a flagship title like Halo. They should outsource it to someone that actually cares about the franchise instead of giving it to a developer that has repeated proven they don't know what they are doing.
