Brandon Batista writes: "Receiving a sequel to a series you love every year sounds like a pretty good deal, that is, until you realize what that means for the quality of the product. Video game annualization isn’t driven by creative desires; it’s purely business. Why put out one fantastic Call of Duty game every couple of years when you can put out one decent-to-mediocre game every year and make the big bucks quicker?"

I wish they would take breaks but as long as they make millions in profit they are not going to stop.

Yeah, I quit buying madden during the ps2 days.

freshslicepizza3905d ago

it's pretty sad you have some publishers like activision who creates multiple teams so they can have a call of duty every year instead of investing in new ip's those other studios could be working on. but yeah, it's all about maximizing profits.

Summons753905d ago

Worse off, Activision has been known to buy studios just for the purpose of forcing them to cancel everything and only make COD games or dlc. It's sickening.

GNCFLYER3905d ago

Also remakes are getting out of hand. I was happy to see a few of the bigger titles get remakes but I feel like it's taking away from new gen games.

Remake something from ps1 Era so it's more than just updated gfx.

Sorry, off topick

GreetingsfromCanada3905d ago

I'm all right with it, in some cases. Ubisoft has been very willing to make new IPs, unlike Activision.

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

YourMommySpoils474d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg475d ago (Edited 475d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
