I was overwhelmingly negative today. And for that I do appologize. After thinking on it, i realize that the days of non stop mega tons, or the year of dreams, are gone. Triple A games are simply to expensive, and take too much time to develop now.
Its interesting to go back and watch sonys e3 2015-2017 press conferences. Each show has a mix of their own first party triple a games, and a helping of indies to compliment those games. However, thanks to the rising costs, and scope of big game production, a game announced at the start of a conosles life, may not release until close to the end of it.
I would not be surprised if for example, by the time perfect dark comes out, we are already hearing rumblings of a new xbox, and i fully expect gta 6 to be a cross generational game between the ps5 And ps6.
Its not just sony and microsoft who are going through this, ea has nothing but sports titles and need for speed releasing this year, ubisoft isnt even doing their typical show case, presumably because not much is ready for this year from them outside of updates to their existing titles. Nintendo announced metroid prime 4 and bayo 3 in 2017, and they still are not out.
Indies, and aa live service titles have become crutches for these companies to lean on during years where most of their own content isnt ready to be shown.
I realized that i need to change my expectations for game releases and show cases. I need to adapt, just as this industry has had to.
