I think there’s a happy medium in modern game development where 5 years or so feels like a nice gap between mainline franchise installments given the complexity of modern games and the fact that we really don’t need “new” iterations on this stuff so often now that devs can do so much in one game. More than 5 years does start to feel long though… the wait for Zelda has only truly started feeling too long to me in the past year or so.
Something like MK8 is a unique exception though where they made such a complete version of it and then Wii U failed, why not bring it back as this gen’s MK? I do think there needs to be some real innovation with the next one, so if they feel they’ve needed a long time to crack that code, I’m ok with that.
