| Topic | What are the major new game franchises that have launched this gen? |
| Slip-N-Slide 05/19/18 9:39:06 AM #1: | I have trouble thinking of many. We're probably what, a few years away from next gen probably tops? There still seems to just be mostly last gen and previous franchises getting sequels, remakes, remasters, etc. Even games like God of War that could've been a new IP if they wanted, just branded itself as GoW as a sort of sequel sort of reboot. Even a company like Naughty Dog who's always produced a new franchise for each gen from Crash to Jak & Daxter to Uncharted. All we've gotten is 2 Uncharted games and an upcoming TLoU2 which will probably end up remastered for PS5 at this rate. Maybe you could argue TLoU was such on the tail end of last gen that it's this gen, but it's still last gen, and as nice as Uncharted was, it really could've been left at 3 with no real difference being made. Then multiplatform games like Assassin's Creed released 3 great games in 3 years, this gen we got Watch Dogs, which technically started last gen too, and Watch Dogs 2. Then a bunch of Tom Clancy titles and such. Valve has done nothing, Rockstar is just.milking GTA and doing RDR2. Even exclusives like Knack or Sea of Thieves came and went because they were generic, boring garbage. Not much use mentioning Nintendo because milking franchises is their bread and butter for decades. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
