| the-pi-guy said: I'm not bothered by iterative sequels, because if I love a game, I usually want more of it. The bigger issue is that iterative sequels today take ~3x longer than they did 15 years ago. And that can be pretty frustrating. Naughty Dog basically made an entire Uncharted trilogy in the time it is taking them to make Intergalactic. But I also think it's way more complicated to what makes a game great. I think there are lots of small changes that can make or break a game. |
That is a good point about how long games take to make. Video games are much more expensive than ever before. I heard somewhere where developers are no longer crunching as much. This is because the experience senior developers were leaving the industry and video game companies were desperate to retain talent.
This may change soon because the tech industry took a big hit. AI could also help speed up game development.
