I agree. But the way I see it, the matured film industry has started doing this kind of thing on rare occasion in the last decade or so (the new Dune being a good recent example of giving director control rather than the studio), I imagine one of the big publishers is going to 'try' it eventually just as a financial experiment if nothing else.
They could set it in the 90s or 00s, I'd be very happy
I'm hoping they have a go at making something truly authentic to see if it succeeds.
For the love of god Ubi, I'm begging you : take a talented director, give them the money, and COMPLETE creative control.
Let them just make a proper ucking linear stealth game with amazing ai/stealth,story and features. Just one real game. No open world, no GaaS, no season pass bs.
Do it in the name of Splinter Cell.
Haha I remember being on the verge of tears one Christmas as a 10 year old (2005 or 6 maybe?) getting a RRoD with my new xbox. This is hilarious!
Don't be such a stick in the mud.
CDPR did the unforgivable with this game, but my heart doesn't exactly bleed for these pricks, either. Publicly-trading gaming companies has been a MASSIVE contributor to the horrific state of gaming.
That's the point really. Even a "perfect" CP2077 is a 7/10 videogame, tops. It's basically equivalent to a Far Cry game.
Cuphead is a work of art. Glad to see this thing will still see light of day -- I actually assumed it would "become" Cuphead 2 after the delays etc.
Looks incredible. The 3D-rendered interiors (even if an illusion) looks amazing. On top of the skyscrapers it truly is achieving photorealism.
I imagine GTA VI will probably be along these lines -- even if R* is devoting more of their games to online components (which is a shame) they will no doubt have dropped MILLIONS into making their next world as breathtaking as possible.
And Gran Turismo has a lot of catching up to the likes of ACC and iRacing in terms of physics, tyre mods etc
I think it's more that there hasn't been a GT as earth-shattering. GT3 in particular was a quantum leap in racing videogames, the jump up in quality from EVERYTHING before it was insanity.
After GT 4, it has become increasingly difficult to make them a meaningful step up in quality, much less "revolutionary"....i n a world where revolutionising a genre as mature as racing games would be near impossible.
Ultimately, the next truly great ...
That's kinda true. Assetto Corsa Competizione really does look like real life if you watch people playing it with triple monitors, especially at night.
Let's not forget that GT Sport is still one of the best looking racing games ever made. It is SO hard to make games look prettier than they currently do. Especially racing games.
They're both kinda arcadey, by modern standards. "Simcade" is the correct term. So I think you can compare Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo directly, even if GT is a little more realistic..
It truly is becoming difficult to get meaningful improvement in graphics for racing games.
The new Assetto Corsa will probably be the new benchmark.
Being completely honest, if someone told me this was a new track being played on GT Sport (a game I still play constantly) I wouldn't think twice. The only giveaway is the camera shake.
Now, I'm personally not that fussed because I'm more interested in content and physics...but being honest here, this is a microscopic step up in visual fidelity. I guess we'll see when it comes out.
I think most of the work being done at this point relates to bugs/functionality. It won't look any different to this playing it.
My advice would be to ditch the other modes and just expand portal as much as you can .
I played a trial and I was horrified at what they've done to the BF series. BF V was bad....but my god. How can you screw up so bad?
If it's not going to be faithful then why bother? Stealth fans want proper stealth games. My hope is that Ubi will give it one shot at making something truly in the spirit of their old games.
To be honest, there's little scope to make some generic open world thing with mtx because....who would buy it? Ubi already make several of those games.
