Sadly, I have to agree with ya!! The "Big Releases" are often the next CALL OF DUTY or clone of such.
The "UNREAL ENGINE" is the core of a shocking number of modern games. It's a pre built "core" with game bits ready to use. Some are used so often that certain maps in various titles feel very similar, because they are very similar I keep having "game deja vu" seeing sets/scenes/maps that are obviously based on the same template. Here is a link to a very long list of games that use the unreal engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unrea...Unreal_Engine_4 If you have never heard of UNREAL, it's just a first person shooter game that was a competitor with QUAKE way back in the day Both games revolved around "DEATH MATCH" essentially, kill as many as possible on the other side to win. The guts of unreal became so good, they started licensing it out to other game companies so that folks wouldn't have to re invent the wheel each time they wanted to make the next call of duty/clone. Sadly, Titan Fall 2 falls in the GAME DEJA VU area for me as they even use old level maps with slight modifications and maybe a new game type (e.g. capture the flag in space). It makes sense in that sequels to games that made money are safer bets than entirely original games that may or may not make money, just like the Movie Industry! Xmen 12, Star Trek 15, etc. (remake/reboot/blah blah) There are some original game experiences to be found in the quickly growing world of VR and hopefully that opens things up a bit for developers and players I hope it leads to new types of games and not just call of duty VR. Todd Am i the only one that feels, that somehow the new games are getting kinda "dumb down", lazy perhaps?
Is just, a lot of stuff I see is basically the same recycled idea with fancier clothes? Needless to say there is always a good gem, from time to time. |
