1 year agoI know we are still early in the 9th gen console era, but this seems to be the trend.
Take a game that the gamers loved from the 6th and 7th gen console era, and heavily rework the graphics and the games mechanics.
A good deal of time has passed since gamers last played those games. So, they are combining a healthy dose of nostalgia, modern graphics and game mechanics into a potent blend to make the gamers pay up for what is essentially an old IP, just reheated.
From the dev / publishers perspective, is a very low risk and decently high reward undertaking. A no brainer essentially.
Exactly! I’m at a stage in my life where I just want my stuff to work. A decade ago, I would be installing betas the moment they were available . But that version of me is gone.
Also there has been nothing particularly blood pumping about OS update for good few years now.
