Weekly /r/Games Discussion - Suggestion request free-for-all

Posted: 25 Apr 2018 02:09 PM PDT

/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

If you want to post requests like this during the rest of the week, please post to other subreddits like /r/gamingsuggestions, /r/ShouldIBuyThisGame, or /r/AskGames instead.

Please also consider sorting the comments in this thread by "new" so that the newest comments are at the top, since those are most likely to still need answers.

Idol Manager, a business sim game exploring the dark and scandalous side of the Japanese idol industry, enters its final 24 hours on Kickstarter approaching its final stretch goal

Is the mainstream video game industry heading for the same "rinse and repeat" levels of self-borrowing as the movie industry with regard to remakes and reboots of game franchises?

Posted: 26 Apr 2018 06:00 AM PDT

Over the last few years we've seen several game franchises get remakes, and reboots. MCC, Sonic, COD4 remaster, and many others.

While this has happened before, to me it feels like this trend is going upward which concerns me somewhat. Even worse to me is the number of gamers, here and elsewhere, that cry out "no, don't remake, remake this" without any thought to what this could be doing to innovation in the industry.

Perhaps I'm simply a cynic, but I personally view the constant reboot, restarts of classics in the movie industry as a generally bad thing. Its not as thought those movies (or games) cant be good simply because they are remakes, I'm not saying that at all, its that I fear that executives and producers in the games industry are quickly hurdling toward the trap of "innovation is risky, risk is bad for business, just copy what worked before and don't innovate too much". This of course has been a problem in the games industry for years, decades even, with things like the COD series being a mostly copy-paste-change 1 thing a year formula and many other repeat ad nauseum franchises.

I suppose I don't have any specific point. I was just curious if anyone else thinks a games industry that resembles the movie industry is, in some ways, a bad thing. I feel like the best video games are the ones who innovate above and beyond their genre. Or push the boundaries of what we thought a game was. I wont list my own examples, as no one would agree. But I'm sure you can all think of games that were literally "game changing" that were immediately copied by everyone. I worry a less risky industry is one where these games are further and further between.

P.S. I think the indie games market on PC (and to a lesser degree on consoles) is MUCH stronger than the same indie movies market. So there is hope for us there.
