I'd say there is a demand for SP Shooters. Perhaps not as high as BR games but still...

 

All of those above have very distinct stylisation, lets be honest UT is pretty generic in terms of setting

GoG and Steam for me on PC. It is worth noting that CDPR could pull a **** move and release Cyberpunk 2077 on GoG/Console only if they wanted to. Of course they will never do that because... *drum roll*

 

...it's anti-consumer.

 

 

Couldn't Epic Games put all that money and effort into a new Unreal Tournament or a new single-player Unreal game instead?!

 

Heh, they canned that new Unreal Tournament they were "crowdsourcing" for Fortnite and their "Epic Store". That being said, UT3 wasn't exactly great (also the only UT without DE involvement, coincidence?) so if the new instalment (which, to make things easy on everyone, they just named "Unreal Tournament") is anything like it I'll stick to UT99 and UT2k4 for my UT fixes.

 

It's not like many of the people that made UT still work there anyway, the Tencent acquisition burned quite a few of the well known ones out, if the stuff on Wikipedia is anywhere near accurate, and the other half of the UT team (UT = Epic + DE, after all) is happily making Warframe.

I like Kotick, he's like Trump but with an IQ above 80.

Wait... popularity equals IQ now? I honestly wonder which one is richer and more successful through facts of life.

 

 

Interesting... but I never said popularity equals wealth or success through facts of life.

 

Let me guess, you're going to argue with me that I did, I'll ask you where exactly I said it and you'll try your best to convince me that I wrote something that never existed - as per usual.

 

And nobody said popularity equals IQ, so why did you read that in?

You mean like nobody said that popularity equals IQ?

 

You should stop the guessing, you are pretty terrible at it.

You mean when I was joking? But even so, how do you get me saying popularity equals IQ and get popularity equals success and wealth?

 

I have to guess because as usual, you make things up as you reply randomly to comments I make.

And nobody said popularity equals IQ, so why did you read that in?

I did, as a joke. I didn't say anyone else did. Edited February 18, 2019 by SonicMage117

Metro Exodus and Rage are both post apocalyptic which has been done to death in the past decade while both Wolfenstein and Far Cry 5 have you fighting against nazis/cultists.

 

The first Unreal had an atmosphere that was pretty unique actually: You are a simple worker aboard a transport ship. Your ship is shot down and you land on an alien planet, feeling completely alone and lost while exploring because you have no idea where you are. But step by step, you discover the planets wonders and hazards.

 

I never played Unreal II but the first Unreal was one of the few fps games that made me feel isolated, alone and scared at times.

 

 

Rune was also one of those games that made you feel truly isolated and alone at times, but that is a different game...

lets agree to disagree (and btw I liked Unreal and Rune as well, I just think it would not ship that well today)

[Katphood]

^ so everybody should just make BR games or follow a certain template while making SP fps games?

 

Publishers and even some of the devs at From Software thought that Demon's Souls would be a disaster, but yeah, thanks to that game, people at From Software still have job.

Yeah, I guess that makes the whole discussion pointless.

 

Warframe heals everything.

not at all, i think quite opposite. I am just pointing out that I THINK its not unique enough to fly today. They can of course surprise me

Yup. Can't argue there.

 

I wish we had gotten a few good fps games out of Kickstarter while it was still a thing. The only person who actually tried that was...John Romero.

 

 

Dear god,

 

You can stop teasing us now.

[SonicMage117]

I don't care for BR games personally, they do seem higher quality but I think they are to the new generation what Arena Shooters were back then but at least Battle Royale can be interesting to watch lol Just not really the type of game I'd spend my time on.

 

 

I suspect that like Arena Shooters, BR is just a fad genre, it will be over and replaced by a new type of fps in time. And like Arena Shooters, we'll say "Good riddance!" And we'll probably complain with whatever they'll replace ot with next

Sort of wish that would happen, all this crying about 'anti-consumer' aside.  Would be nice to see the reaction from the gamer community

[Keyrock]

CDPR is still wisely playing the long game, preferring to build up good will and keep their customer base happy while raking in decent profits, rather than squeezing out every single penny from customers at the risk of alienating their fanbase. They'll be one of the few big AAAs left standing after The Big Crash of 202X happens.

[Malcador]

Wonder how they'll do when they try to make an original work.

[Keyrock]

There's nothing stopping them from working on existing IPs forever, so we may never find out. I would be curious to see them try to make their own IP, though.

[LittleArmadillo0]

It would be interesting to see them tackle their own IP. I wonder what sort of genre they would choose?

I'm quite convinced CDPR's next game after Cyberpunk will be a new IP. Sadly though for me, because they already have fantasy covered by the Witcher franchise, it'll likely be in a genre I don't care for.

[SonicMage117]

I'd love a game all about Ciri.

 

I also wouldn't mind if someone like CDPR took a stab at doing a racing rpg.

Yeah yeah, we get it. You don't actually play games, you're just here for the laughs.

Who says I don't ? But watching the 'gamer community' be outraged, threaten boycotts that they'll never follow through on, etc., you have to admit it's pretty entertaining.

Katphood, we all are here for the games, but watching internet drama is sometimes more entertaining than playing AAA games

I wouldn't mind if, in a moment of utter insanity, CDPR would decide to try adapting Exalted into a good video game.

Now if only they would fix the underlaying mechanics.
