For starters they keep making mostly the same game over and over. They're essentially doing the Bethesda shtick except their end results are better. Sticking to stuff that can mostly be made in the same engine as the thing you finished 15 minutes ago is going to shave off a lot of time compared to making a new game.
Of course that's not to shit on incremental improvements or engine reuse or anything. That is just sound thinking as long as the games are good.
Ac6 is "basically" the same game as ac 1 through 5 or whatever. Elden ring is "basically" the same game as the dark souls saga.
Played and have beaten them all. Youre not seeing what Im trying to say
If he hasn't played them, he's managed to get the right answer. I have played them, and AC6 is to AC1-5 as Dark Souls 3 is to Dark Souls 1 and 2.
All of the 2D Mario platformers are the same format with unique aspects on top. The same can be said for the 3D games, but it couldn't be said about the Super Mario series as a whole.
All the Mario platform games are basically the same. You have the 2d ones and 3d.
"Yeah I won't bother replying"
Goes on to write a couple paragraphs why.
Yes Mario games are fictional the same thing over and over again. I'm collecting sunshine rather than stars this time and I have a new hat!
You’re totally right. I’m a fan of the Xenoblade series and it’s obvious that they use the same engine with some slightly different tweaks and mechanics.
