Not actually true, in fact less do this as they still need new consumers.
XS literally failed a generation doing that combo and is now focusing on new IP, so so much for this "do the same" that simply isn't true and MS direction is to literally avoid what just happened with XONE.
What are you talking about the major third party companies are pretty much known for their ip. It is pretty much the reason why folks watch their e3 events because they want the next assassin creed, cod, far cry, battlefield, elder scrolls, halo, zelda, and etc
Xbox failed last gen because of the launch not because of their IP. Xbox has been lacking studios for a long timeand Playstation and Nintendo were releasing far more first party games than them a year so them buying more studios to fix that weakness makes sense. The acti/blizz though was a bit much.
Cause their focus is on the talent and quality of what those studios put out, not solely trying to fucking milk 1 IP to death. As to why Jak 4 was not done, they don't have any ideas, let Naughty Dog move on, thus they are KNOWN for the talent of the studio, not the studio solely known for 1 IP, let the focus be one what that studio can create instead of trying to force this fake evergreen thing from all IPs trying to milk them to oblivion.
Thats also false btw.

It doesn't have to be Naughty Dog who makes the game. I just want a good jak and daxter game.
Did you look at that list? The weakest year for the ps3 in number of games was the launch of the ps3 and the launch of the ps4. Every year outside of those 2 from what I can tell had more games than the biggest year of the ps4.
Yea they broke those records because they did both.
God Of War, GT, Ratchet, LBP, SoTC remake and may more for established fans.
Horizon, Days Gone, Death Stranding, Ghost Of Tsushima, Dreams etc to bring in new consumers.
They were new ip so all consumers would technically be new for that ip.
The Wii U is just an all around failure from the naming, marketing, design, etc, and their is absolutely no game new or old that was going to save that system. Most of my family didn't even know that Nintendo had even released a new console back then. So using the wii u to me as a comparison doesn't quite work. You tend to use the most extreme negative points. They had a wii and they have a switch though.
Of course, IP alone can't sell a system but it is still a major reason to buy the console.
Using the word Wii in the Wii U was one of the reason why the console failed. They should have either named it Super Wii or Wii 2. Sure I'd love a wii ni
.
I never said it wasn't a combination of hardware and ip. If the hardware is decent and you have some beloved ips to draw folks in plus great marketing, then folks will buy your console. Folks bought the switch cause first it is Nintendo, second the marketing was great, and third because of the ip/mario or zelda plus animal crossing.
Nah no but, stop goal posting lol The post is as logical as it gets. KNOWING the IP, is not enough and how relevant it is to core consumers is more important then how its seen by a mass of people based on pop culture. You may remember Star Fox fondly, doesn't mean gamers TODAY as of RIGHT NOW (adjust cap locks lol) really care about that IP, they don't care because the quality is so bad now, its known for being bad by gamers, doesn't matter that they know it from their childhood, the know it to be shit as a series as adults based on its recent milking.
Thus, the importance is not milking the IP to death, its in solely putting out quality titles so that way gamers who actually buy games, value the quality, not simply know its image. Knowing the face of a character means nothing when it becomes synonymous with bad, copy and paste, milked outsourced games.
The quality first should be factored before making a sequel, not the forced image solely to market a character.
You are adding a lot to a small line. I didn't mention anything about quality or milking the ip to death. The IP is the big draw and gets eyes on a product and that is why you remember star fox even though it was a flop.
I do agree that quality should be factored first but that is for all games.
Nah, I greatly disagree. If that shit was bad, keep it dead and only return if and only IF the studio has a great idea for it.
That whole "make sure not to abandon" is why we have Star Fox flopping. They never needed to milk that IP to such a degree and maybe we are better off with what we got until they make something actually good, now the IP has flopped so many times, we don't even know if they'd listen to a pitch for Star Fox 64-2 type deal, they might feel people hate it or something based on those low sales, I don't want that happening to any Sony titles, especially my favorite.
You make no sense. Of course, if the original idea was bad altogether then drop the series.
They know folks still love starfox cause it was added as dlc to that starlink game in 2019.
I like Jak and Daxter too, but I respect the freedom given to Naughty Dog for them to move on and only return when they have an idea vs outsource and milk.
I'd rather have a proper Jak 4 thats a great ass idea, if it needs to stay gone til then, so be it. We got endless Star Fox after Star Fox and all it did was kill that IP, maybe it should only be made if they have a great idea and its of great quality, whats the point of being remembered if its also remembered for being bad? Why make a sequel solely for relevance and not quality? I don't see that as a great thing for consumers, even if you like those IP, i'm sure you also like those IP being good too lol
Have a good one.
It doesn't have to be naughty dog.I'd be completely okay if they kicked jak to insomniac or anyone that could make a great jak game. Naughty dog making a jak game these days just seems weird to me.
What is your deal with star fox. That is like your go to punching bag. Nintendo simply had a bad idea when making the game .They tend to have a habit of trying new ideas in their next games quite often. Which annoys Arlo when it comes to the paper mario series. I also think they cheaped out on the star fox game.
Again with adding things I never said. Of course I would want a quality sequel. I expect the quality to always be as good or better than the last game.
Have a good one as well.
