So instead we get remakes and sequels to sequels. At least sometimes a reasonably new game happens by accident and it's successful.

- JohnBooty 7y agoWow, I think history (and public, and critical opinion) disagree with you. I don't think sequels are a bad thing in the gaming world, since games are software and software is iterative! A lot of times the 2nd and 3rd iterations surpass the originals... the first title in a series is where all the design and technical challenges are worked out, and then the sequel is where they're able to finetune and really hone things. Check out the top-rated (both by users and critics) games of all time. Nearly all sequels. https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/all/filtered https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/... (Note that one of the top-rated games, SoulCalibur, is indeed a sequel as well... Perfect Dark is also, while not a sequel, certainly a "follow up" to Goldeneye in a technical sense) Any thoughts?
