Am I crazy to not be excited in the slightest for this? To me it seems that every sequel to a huge title that has come out lately has been hugely half passed because the studio that made the original doesn’t really exist anymore.
No, I think that’s fair. I miss being excited about new games, but the disappointment usually hits quick and hard if I ever allow myself to. Between rampant AAA shittification that’s accelerated recently, and the fact that a lot of AAA wasn’t all that good in the first place, it’s hard to really build up any enthusiasm.
Looking at Rockstar/Take-Two’s behavior in specific, since GTAV at the very latest, it’s even harder to be optimistic. I bet they’ll even find a way to cram shart cards into single-player, the fuckers.
At least it’s rumored they got the FiveM guys to do the multiplayer, so maybe it’ll be less abjectly, pathetically, monstrously shitty than GTAO. I assume they’ll still find some way to ruin it, though.
Now, if it turns out it’s great, I’d be ecstatic. I’m not buying this one anywhere near release but if it seems like a drastically better deal than I’m expecting, I’ll be very, very surprised - and I’d like a game to surprise me pleasantly for once.
Personally it has more to do with the infection of MBAs into AAA game dev space than the old guard retiring.
Nono this is exactly what I’m getting at. Monetization at all costs, art be damned.
