It's an open-world shooter.
Christ on a stick.
They're hounding after that damned MMO shit like every other publisher is. Sony wants it, EA wants it, everyone wants it, and nobody can fucking make it work. Hell, even Bungie couldn't pull it off with Marathon.
Why do they keep letting the market dictate what kind of games they should make? Just make a good fucking game. Stop consulting some market specialist who tells you, "Well, gamers are really interested in live-service engagement loops right now." No shit, Brad. Gamers are also interested in games that are actually fun.
It's like every publisher looks at the last five disasters and says, "Okay, but what if WE do it?"
Like it hasn't worked for literally any of them. Why would it suddenly work for a fucking megacorp like Blizzard?
And it's coming out in four fucking years.
Four years!
I don't care what's coming out in four years! I barely know what I'm doing next fucking Tuesday. You're telling me I should get excited about a game that won't exist until 2030?
I'm sure they'll announce Diablo 5 in 2069 and tell us it's going to revolutionize the genre with an innovative blockchain-enabled social extraction MMO where you spend 45 minutes farming a dungeon just to unlock the ability to farm another dungeon.
Just make a good goddamned game.
That's it.
You don't need to reinvent the fucking industry. You don't need a market trend. You don't need an engagement strategist. You don't need a ten-year roadmap.
Make a good game.
Then make another one.
Jesus Christ.
Surprise. They announced Diablo 5.
Is that also an open world shooter? 🤔
☹️
I mean, if you're a ranged class in any of them you're already playing an open world shooter. It just isn't 1st person 🤷♂️
FPS mod incoming.
will it just be mephisto and diablo returns, or is it just BAAL "returns" or it will be the lesser lords hell as well. i suspect "andarael" that was revived will be in it.
FPS suppose to be a good money making game.
Lol.
Expedition 33 was a turn-based jrpg.
I'm just saying these publishers have lost the plot.
