Old games continue to be remade
Here's a controversial topic, people say "no the new CoD is different from the last 30 CoD's..". When the fact of the matter is, no it fucking isn't.
Let's get something else straight, I'm not talking about all video game series here. I'm talking about certain games dominating the market with the same old shit for years and years, and making it difficult for new video games to shine their way into the spotlight.
Games like:
Call of Duty
Grand Theft Auto
- (generic revamp goes here)
- (generic revamp goes here)
- (generic revamp goes here)
Now I respect all of these games, and I will say they are all good fun games that I, myself, at one time or another enjoyed. However when these exact games have been around for longer than 10 years, I no longer want to play them. Simply put, they're fucking old.
The next issue is the market domination. Let's take GTA V (a 16 year old series) for example, this game revenues $800 million in the first day of sales. Now for the developers and investors this is great, hell it may even be great for some of the consumers, but it isn't great for innovation, ingenuity, creativeness, etc. in the video game industry. They are showing that you don't need to make new exciting games to make money, you want old simple concepts that have been around for the past 16 years.
I've played GTA V for about 5 minutes, and that's all the time I needed to be able to tell that this game feels like I'm playing San Andreas, fused with a little bit of Saints Row.
I've played Black Ops 2 for around the same amount of time, and that's all it took for me to say fuck this game, it's CoD 4 all over again.
I think the same with BF3 and BF4, but I have to say BFBC2 was one of my favorite games of all times. It was actually very different.
I played a lot of BF3 but I felt like it was Bad Company with a really bad glare effect added in and jets. (Notice something here GTA V fanboys? *jets*) inb4 CoD features jets in the next release
