I love Crash but I don´t know what is worse.
The fact that people should be hyped for the same games that I bought at 1999 20 years later for no reason.
or the fact that the new videogames, franchises and developers are so shit that we only can clinge on old as fuck IPs
Street Fighter V, Metal Gear Solid V, Sonic 25th anniversary, Doom second remaster, KOF fucking 14, Final whocares Fantasy, Deus Ex 4/5th game, The Sims: Transelectric Bogaloo, Battlefield: Old CoD version, Dungeon "Rape my skull with your mobile shit" Keeper, fucking Mario 64 now for real because there are so many fucking games with that italian bastard holy shit... And people STILL EXPECTS HALF LIFE 3.
They are selling us the same shit from 30 years ago and it still works, when the good thing about those franchises was how they broke the mold and did something totally new.
This hobby got old. I don´t think I want to play videogames anymore, fuck this. Is literally always the same.
You can get in here and cry with me or at least recommend me some mindblowing game that feels fresh.
And of course Fallout 4 Todd Howard go choke on a shit you jew
Good thread. Sorry no one is responding.

Thank you kind anon have this funny picture.
I have never seen a crowd turn so fast as that crash reveal with the skylanders shit
It stole Kojimbos thunder definitely

>1999 was 20 years ago
>>341296074
>The Sims: Transelectric Bogaloo
lost

They're remasters "from the ground up", presumably meaning full remakes.
>the people screaming for a new crash game are the same people who've played the originals many times over
>sony announces hd collection of the same games we've been emulating with hd filters for the past 15 years
>this is supposed to please the fans
Who was the fucking asshead who thought of this?
>>341296074
Why the fuck does Crash need a remaster anyway? It looks great for a 1996 PS1 game, and the wacky 90s style and aesthetics would honestly look a lot worse in HD.
And we don't even get a new game either, just Skylanders shit. Woop de frigging do.
Anyway to answer your question your question it's because new ideas are hard to come up with these days, and new ideas that are actually good are even harder to come up with. So very rarely will you find something that's wholly original AND doesn't blow ass. Also people are generally unwilling to leave their comfort zone and try new things.

>The fact that people should be hyped for the same games that I bought at 1999 20 years later
but its 2016 anon
>>341299619
There's no proof of that yet.
Which means PS1 ports with a pretty light filter.
>>341299619
It's probably just going to look how it does in Uncharted 4
>>341296074
Crash 2 is my favorite game of all time, so I don't care if it's just a money grab. I'm still hyped as fuck
>>341300251
Because that's really what the fans want, just the same game over and over again with shiny graphics and a fresh coat of paint. Look at the FFVII remake, even before it was announced as being episodic people were screaming bloody murder over changes to the combat, because it's more action-oriented instead of being the simple ATB "stand in a line, pick action, wait your turn etc." formula.

I think we've just come full circle, meaning we had these groundbreaking titles, and then we became accustomed to new trends that moved away from tradition, and now we want the old because it feels refreshing compared to the new.
You're definitely right that people confuse specific games and franchises with the innovations they provided at the time. Although people aren't as dumb as they seem, considering the Crash remasters aren't exactly receiving universal praise.
It was clearly Activision telling them they can have a new Crash but they have to give Skylanders prime real estate in the conference and whatever plans they have for Crash can't eclipse it. Why does everyone have such a limited view of what's going on?
>>341301101
which one
>>341301430
/v/ has become so cynical and jaded that we automatically assume the worst.
>>341300405
New ideas that work are ALWAYS hard to find, and put them in the worskshop is a really hard bet.
But is what people should do, not only that, is the kind of thing that people should appreciate, now we have a really wide stream of indie games and trends and mechanics and people just buy the same AAA shit without rethinking what they really want.
And even nowadays there are original ideas putting a lot of work.
People can say what they want about Minecraft but that game is fucking original and it was ruined to the ground because of repetitive exposure. Is like the Doom of our days.
Dark Souls did well some great concepts that where partially done already, but with good execution. Now everybody is trying to do 1:1 of their game.
We have even fucking VR. But even the indie developers are too lazy to make something new.
And people too stupid to pay attention.
>>341301332
I hope it... Crashes.
>>341301430
Those are conjetures right now. Show me gameplay of the new game or I will still be let down, is simple as that.

Weird, I played games for fun. I don't remember ever thinking "man this game is fun. It must be because it is a brand new concept". I also don't ever remember going "man I've played a similar game a few times but I'm still having fun. I should stop having fun now since this isn't something totally new".
Good thing you are here to tell us the intelligent way to have fun.How about you go ahead and realize that you have lost interest in video games, and the reason you think you might still want to enjoy them is purely because of nostalgia. There is nothing wrong with moving on to a new hobby that you find more interesting.
>>341301430
Even if that were true, if Activision's the one calling the shots then we'll just get a sequel to Mind Over Mutant, rather than a return to classic form.
>it's a games were better when I was a kid episode
>>341296074
I wonder what they will do with Crash Bandicoot 1. It was incredibly fun back then but the gameplay doesn't hold up today. And if they're not making a new game, it probably means that it's just going to be a port.
In other words: It's going to suck.
>>341303030
You can like a game for whatever you want to like it I´m not going to be a dictator about that.
If you want to play different games witht he same gameplay I´m not going to tell you why you shouldn´t enjoy it. Hell, I still play Street Fighter 3S, and I´m a sucker for fighting games that may look the same to a lot of people.
But the industry is ripping off us and giving literally nothing new when they say is new, and people are eating that shit up, we have no standards right now.
I´m not tired of videogames, I just play old games and some hidden gems (And I don´t really have a lot of time to play), but the spoiler part is something really well said.
>>341303564
Better or worse we had a really wide variety of games, AAA or not. Some of them weren´t as successful as others but at least they were appreciated.
>>341303030
What are you doing here ? /v/ don't stop shitting on games for being the same "rehash", or being "ruined" when they aren't "rehash". Basically /v/ hate video games and it's always amazing to see all this shitposting.
>>341303030
You've never compared the game you're playing to others, and made judgements based on that? You've never stopped playing a game because it was boring and you felt like you had played it before, or found a game fun because it had something original?
The worst part is, the OP never mentioned fun at all. You added that in to make the point personal when OP was speaking objectively about industry trends. Nice attempt fella, but I'm not buying it.
>mfw sonyponys think their shit fur bait excuses for franchises are in any way shape or form anything other than complete and utter dirty brown water trash
Rehash bandisloot, shy pooper, ratshit and stank, ballsac and haxtar, isharted and so many other shitty franchises are complete ass and the only reason anyone thinks they're anything close to not the functional equivalent of a heaping mound of garbage is because they were the few games that took more than 20 minutes to beat among the mountain of shovel ware shit that got dumped on the wobbleststion 2 which is all you played with when you were kids because your family was to fucking poor to buy anything other than some two bit nip cuck mediocre DVD player
Fuck off faggots
