In today’s challenging market players expect new ideas and mechanics in a sequel, delivering the same game as a reskin is no longer enough.

I love 3 of the 8 games on this list so I’m gonna go buy 5 more games now.

CEO’s of these large game companies have zero idea what people who play games want

it’s simple, just make games with love.
How many details Stardew have ? how incredible Hades is ? how FUN is vampire ?

It’s like thinking that now you need to make movies on the scale and style of the Avengers franchise as those were extremly successfull, so you need to one up them.
Then it comes those indie games / A24 films and show them that no. You just need a good product.

I love how they tongue-in-cheek imply that they’re actually delivering quality.

I have higher expectations than that, tbh. But Ubisoft “AAAA” games are just trash
Linmizhang
You think any of the devs capablr of making these awsome games want to work at any of the AAA studios?
Why they pushing for AI so hard to do everything, while indi devs like “cool ai made me texture for rock #638”
Savage_Oreo
wtf is dead space remake doing on this list?

Ubisoft insisting on strapping Assasins Creed bullshit no one cares about on what are otherwise solid historical action RPGs, and refusing to release a Black Flag sequel in that vein is all I need to know that the execs at that company are completely out of touch.
They could literally print money for the rest of time with the historical series without the AC shit, they could then contine the AC franchise true to the fans of that brand, and Black Flag 2 would be a massive hype GOTY contender out of the gate if they just took the original and modernized it/hired some good writers.
They’re sitting on absolutely obvious gold and instead we got…
whatever the hell Skull and Bones is.

He’s right those example game are extraordinary! that’s why those game stand out in a sea of indie game.
But Ubisoft keep pumping cookie cutter slop

I just want nebulous fleet command to get AAA game levels of budget

These corporate shits should really try playing games in their free time instead of sun bathing in their yachts.

While I hate the shit they’ve been putting out, and I know they are capable of making good games it’s a lot easier to just say “make a good game”.
If it was that easy everyone would do it

Steam native and not broken at release. That will sell so much more on pc its actually stupid
VaporSpectre
Ok now hold up. Dead Space had a much larger budget, dev team, marketing, and pushed the envelope in a lot of ways when it first game out. This isn’t the scrappy indie dev underdog that the rest are making out to be.

Stardew Valley is literally one guy with a box of scraps.
Silent_Reavus
Yeah see they seem to have trouble with that first part

Weird how sales dried up around the same time MSRP’s went to $69.99.
