This thread is making my want to faceplam HARD.
If any of you are ever wondering why all we ever seem to get these days are "sequels, ripoffs, and wank," as Yahtzee so eloquently put it, look yourselves in the mirror and you'll find the answer.
I don't really think so, it makes sense that sequel announcements are more likely to make someone crap there pants, because the excitement from the original game is already there and can use it as a launch pad. It doesn't necessarily mean people don't want original content or new IP's.
"warcraft 4"
"Sim City 5"
"Colony Wars 4"
"Jedi knight 5"
"Persona 5"
"New 2D Metroid"
Ok then, but how do you explain this. And that's not even getting into the number of remakes mentioned with fancy graphics because apparently nobody watched the Extra Credits video on Aesthetics.
Also it seems I'm the only one who understands that a franchise only becomes truly memorable when it ENDS. And presumably the best time for it to end would be before it gets to the point where it's become akin to milking a dead cow. Take Metroid for example, I think the best time to stop making Metroid games would've been after Metriod Prime 2. Actually the most ideal time would've been after Super Metroid, keeping it as a tight trilogy, even though I loved Metroid Prime.
Anyway, I'm done ranting now.
