what THE FUCK happened

You missed Gears 5 and the Uncharted Spinoff, also Halo infinite will be next gen

AAA games got insanely bloated budgets and dev teams for the sake of better graphics and bigger worlds. There are only 2 ways to fix this now:
> 1: Simplifying the asset creation pipeline. Ray tracing will help with this, as will things like SpeedTree that help quickly populate the worlds with stuff. Hopefully technological progress will help this along a little more
> 2: Decrease scope and graphical fidelity. This is the route indies took, and it's why indies can afford to be more creative and original with their game ideas. The thing is though, indies are also have such small teams that it usually takes forever to finish games anyway.
The best outcome we can hope for is that ray tracing and improved asset creation tech makes AA games with a quick turnaround viable again.

>You missed Gears 5
Not out yet
>and the Uncharted Spinoff
Not a major entry otherwise there'd be even more shit in the old gens
>also Halo infinite will be next gen
Yes

>Not a major entry otherwise there'd be even more shit in the old gens
yet you include gow ascension and liberty city. if those are valid, then elder scrolls online, lost legacy, and odst should be on your shitty chart as well. also what's with sucker punch and insomniac being absent?

> Sucker punch
Literally who cares. They're pretty much irrelevant. Not even Snoyboys talk about their games
> Insomniac
Not really a franchise. This gen they've made 3 games with 3 different IPs

>ESO
Not a TES game nor made by the studio
>GoW: Ascension
A full prequel game
>Liberty City
Two expansions totaling ten hours qualifying it as a significant release, but if that's not enough, imagine RDR in its place and RDR2 in the blank spot
>Lost Legacy
A five hour long standalone expansion
>ODST
The point can be made with just 3 games and it was between Reach and this

> ELDER SCROLLS Online
> Not an ELDER SCROLLS game
Literally what?

are you "subtley" comparing the playtimes of an open world game with a super linear adventure game?

Most of those franchises peaked at 2.

quality>quantity, what's the problem

MMO made by a different studio that has nothing to do with elder scrolls. Learn to read.

Just the campaigns, going by the average longplay

Yeah, and New Vegas was made by a different studio than 3 and 4, but it's still a part of the same IP. Just like Elder Scrolls. The mental gymnastics you're doing are olympic worthy

Every single franchise listed there is gutter trash so who cares?

New Vegas is not on the list

game production got way more expensive and time consuming, a team of the same size could produce more games at the same time in previous generations than they can do now

The worst part is that a new gen will begin and the only upgrade will be graphics. Most games will be plain remasters of yet again last gen games and barely new entries or games at all.

The new games are all a reduction in quality from the old ones.

They should do it the New Vegas/Episodes From Liberty City way, I don't think people would complain. BotW2 is already doing it and people are hyped.

i guess everyone now have famous actors not only as voice actors in their aaa games, fucking hell this shit is getting worse and worse
i mean, cost of hiring them for more than just voice ect is more expensive, you need to present them in good light and shit, cost of making games will go even more up and games will become even more expensive, fuck this

Fuck Big Franchises, though. Just this year, we got RE2, DMC5, and AC7. That alone is enough for me.

>fuck big franchises
>lists big franchises

>AAA titles are the same as AA titles
>Implying DMC and AC are even CLOSE to being "big" in any sense of the word in this industry
