If you don't see an issue with asset recycling that's fine.

But the entire gaming industry is going to stuff because of it.

CoD, assassin's creed, Lego, etc.

Literally the same stuff each year.

Indiana Jones 2 was awful, although the hub world's were ok.

But that's probably because it was based on a horrible movie.

>:(

those rts missions that would pop up in lego star wars 3 were the best part of that game for me, i'd play those for hours

lego worlds is the end all modern lego game

That and lego dimensions.

Just like how Madden recycles assets, right?
Those games you listed are franchises that make new games nearly every year, and as a person who works in the industry, making all new assets for such big game takes literally years from scratch. Triple-A assets take FOREVER to make, even small ones.

So you have a tossup: games that recycle assets to make the dev cycles faster, or games every 4 years. I'm sure if the alternative was true you'd complain about games taking too long to come out.

You look at RDR2 and you see quality.

You look at CoD and see asset recycling cash grabs.

[Mr.Noßody]

You look at the time between the games and the man hours that went into them and you see the difference.
But I also think RDR2 is kind of sloppy, sooo....

But I also think RDR2 is kind of sloppy, sooo....

Fallout 76 took 3 years to make.

While NV took 18 months to make.

And NV is the better game.

But I also think RDR2 is kind of sloppy, sooo....

And every game bethesda makes isn't sloppy?

[Mr.Noßody]

And every game bethesda makes isn't sloppy?

I dont like bethesda games.
What made you think that?

But there's also this thing called scope.

[King Tøny]

RDR2 doesn't look sloppy to me.

[Mr.Noßody]

The game looks fine. I just don't like the story pacing.
I thought the first game was a bit slow, so the new one feels like a crawl.

But this isn't what your topic is about.

hey i also work in the scene and asset recycling is lame as forget, spend more time on your games, we rlly dont mind missing out on cod or ac for a little longer. (these games dont asset flip tho)
