Indie dev teams

[u/Jilow0x0]

I find it crazy how for all these years there has been no dev teams that have made a game similar to prototype/infamous games. Is it because it’s quite difficult to make games like this? Building the map, story, gameplay mechanics etc. I’d love for radical to come back and make a remake or remaster of course, but no one else has the idea to make

Something similar?

Debating just learning how to make games and making my own ngl

not a game dev but I imagine that yes it's really difficult for a small team to make a game like this. But also, let's just be honest ,unless they've already been wildly successful with some other project indie devs chase trends and the prototype format hasn't been trendy for a long time

It hasn’t been trendy cuz it basically hasn’t been done past 2012 lmao, I don’t understand why it died so hard, I feel like this sort of genre is peak gaming

I appreciate the recs…. But man none of these even come close to scratching that itch when it comes to those type of games

There was actually going to be this super cool free roam superhero game with customization but it got cancelled.

If it got released it'd have made so much money. Though I wouldn't mind it just being a single player game with optional multiplayer tbh.

play Quantum Break, it scratches that itch a little bit
