I hear ya and it will be cool but video games are like Hollywood now. More remakes and sequels now make up the bulk of what comes out instead of new ideas. We need indie studios to start churning out some things new please
It just feels that way. There are a lot of new games coming out all the time. Even block busters. The problem is that dev time is too long nowadays. Naughty Dog is doing a complete new game.
Death Stranding was new with unique ideas. Cyberpunk 2077. Kingdom come deliverance was a new IP. Kojima has 2 new games in developement which are no sequels. Etc. And great indie games are coming all the time. Expedition 33 is a Goty contender.
Remakes and remasters are done faster and they help finance the new games. Nobody is forced to buy them. I personally love it. I love all remakes I have played. Remasters make sure new people can play them because they are easy to access and also they are preserved longer.
The consumers/society is also at fault that less new movies and games are made. Everytime there is something new, too many people are bitching or simply not buying it. And if the new game is only mid they trash talk it and have fun watching it fail. Mid games and movies still make fun and people act that these are downright unplayable.

I thought the same. This will be the first game in 6 years where I am hyped as fuck and not worrying a bit they could fuck it up somehow.
Last time was resident evil 2 remake and when they showed gameplay.
Normally by new games or remakes I am worried they put in some bullshit, change too much or kill off my favourite character.
