so what even is the plan for the industry in 50 years? remakes of remakes? going full circle and remaking the remake in the style of the original? there's only so much you can do with a flat screen and pad/kbm, this industry doesn't even feel sustainable until deep dive vr which will be too expensive for the masses anyways. what the fuck are we even doing?

I used to be a bartender in a restaurant chain so I know what a normie really is. I would have 30 years olds talking vidya to me and its always the same thing:
1. none of them ever had a gaming PC, only PS5(and ALWAYS PS5)
2. they seemingly bought every single western AAA exclusive that released
3. they NEVER had anything bad to say about any of them. incredible, gas, fire, masterpiece etc

The people you think youre talking about have never used discord, theyve never even heard of /v/, they have such rich social lives that there isnt enough time for them to form negative opinions of games through forums. The people making Sony rich by buying all these GoW games are the most normal, easy to please people ive ever met, and this entire xitter/4chan culture of shitting on western games is quite funny because it literally takes place inside a bubble: nobody that all the negativity actually targets will ever see or hear any of this discourse, making it all ultimately meaningless.

None of them give a single fuck about any of this or complain about games, simply because they do not have the potential to care. Games are just something they do to kill time, just like how you have to take a shit after eating. Except the retards here on /v/ think about the shit they took for months on end and complain it's shit compared to other dumps and only trannies would take a shit like this one

I think some point in our life media is going to die. Which will get people to actually relearn real skills and real interests, which will spark some creativity which will then be homogenized and annexed by corporate types again. Then media will just not exist anymore. Movies, TV, games, comics it will all die for good.

>>740761207
Only tasteless slopslurping retards have a backlog. There simply arent enough games worth playing for that.

A reddit millennial is just the other side of the same coin. Everything is "fire" as long as it's a remake, indie, or published by Nintendo, and every shilled title is purchased without much discretion. Just saying, it's more than one demographic upholding the status quo.

>>740761591
All media dying would be the good outcome compared to the alternative. What's actually going to happen is that AI slop will be so ubiquitous that people will either forget how to make media or think that it isn't worth the effort to do manually.

>uncs realizing they're getting cynical and entropy is inescapable

This is true but its also false. Normal people can show apathy or disinterest in media die to quality. But they also wont really talk about it. Two Star Wars movies in the last 6 years have bombed.

>Eventually people do get tired of garbage.
That is true, probably even with your example. But quality is not an issue with the God of War series. You can disagree, but the story, voice acting, combat, pacing, the score, these are extremely well made and entertaining games. The majority of people who play them will love them... So the outrage over Laufey is not real, its manufactured by a few influential content creators who make money from ad revenue, who have financial incentives to ragebait, and it tricks people. Mostly terminally online men who have nothing better to do.
If people really loved both God of War games with middle aged Kratos, why exactly would they not love a spin off story about his middle aged wife?

You are an outlier in society. You find this niche community and think it speaks the truth from every mans heart
In reality people are just enamored by the GoW universe and want to experience more of it
They have wives and girlfriends, they dont need to masturbate to a video game character. You probably never bought any of previous games, you wont buy Laufey, so they dont have to indulge your masturbatory fantasies

nostalgia focus is a death spiral for entertainment and other creatively driven fields.
for exactly what you point out, at some point you run out of shit to remake, you have remade it enough, or people are just sick of the thing being remade. Hell even remakes in general people get sick of.

You need to keep making new shit, re-cashing in on older stuff just simply cannot work for companies that are not making a perishable good in the long term, it can only make up a portion of your business, a significant portion, but it can't be the focus. It feels like they are taking business inspiration from other types of businesses that can do this, you always need more steel, you don't need to change the formula, you can keep selling the same drink/food, you don't need to change it, video games simply don't work like that.

My intuition tells me that Nintendo is somehow going to survive this, the same way they were able to survive the video game crash of 83 and rise from the ashes, they will see the route the industry in the west is taking and fix themselves from the inside out.

Stop thinking that major devs want to make games. They want to make money, and they can do so in many ways.

i think no matter what happens, talented people who make their passion projects will never die as long as the internet exists. that's true for movies, music, comics, i don't see why it wouldn't be the case for games as well
AAA studios will probably die for good though. they might as well be dead already, wouldn't change anything for me, maybe it'd make the retards leave online gaming discussion so shit would be less annoying

Tech will keep improving, dev tools will keep getting easier, AI will eventually become useful and then one day indie devs will be able to make PS1 and PS2 games by themselves again and then the cycle begins anew.
