User Warned: dismissive language towards indie gaming and console wars rhetoric
This always happens. Last few years of a generation it's always pretty boring and nothing substantial or nice surprises. We already know what's coming out rest of this generation. Nothing new or exciting gets revealed. All you hear is murmurings about next gen and to tide us over we keep getting boring remasters or rereleases or sequels that have had minimum effort put in like Darksiders 3 or Shadow of Tomb Raider.
Last gen it was just rehashes or sequels towards the end as well. This generation seems to be following the same trend with a lot more remasters. I mean there's some exciting PS4 games still coming out but you can count them on one hand so really not that many but what's worse if I owned an Xbox I'd be totally mad as there is zero on that platform. Crackdown just seems like a rehash and hardly exciting. But there seems to be not much else on there either.
For example I like remasters of good games but it's all I seem to hear when it comes to news stuff. Nothing new or exciting in the past year or so. Or crappy indie games that think they're good because they use pixel art but no one really cares about because they're not actually that good anyway.
It's nice when a new gen happens as the future is ripe for the picking in terms of new IP's and new experiences. But after about 4-5 years it just seems to drop off and it becomes stagnant again and we're in that phase right now it seems.
Don't get me wrong there's plenty of games to play always and I have a big backlog but in terms of reveals and announcements it's pretty boring this past year or so and will only continue and get worse until we hit next gen. I mean just look at the last E3 so boring.
