What do you think the next big thing is?

everything is gray, dull, and suffering from here on out

Early access survival games are the new big thing though they're going to start dying out soon.

Maybe someone will do something new with strategy games.

Either someone figures out that the next console needs to play games(games that are made for play and not for gimmick) and little to nothing else or the industry dies. That's my guess.

I was going to ask how they were going to die out, but then I realized you said early access "survival"

yeah I agree. Survival is dying. early access is not dying though.

At this rate Battle Royale/Free for alls are going to get more attention now that streamerbait is more important to marketing than ever before + PUBG creeping to surpass mobashit. Hero shooter fad died way faster than I imagined and I'm honestly glad to see the mobabubble pop finally.

it seems like everyone is banking for VR

Hero shooter fad died because Overwatch was the only passable game in the genre and even that got incredibly stale.

"Hero shooters" died because the focus was on the shitty characters instead of the "asymmetrical multiplayer".

>asymmetrical multiplayer
something like that would actually take effort to balance and people couldn't dump 500 hours exclusively on one character, so they'd leave

VR/AR once it really becomes accessible to everyone and actual games are made for it.

Games going back to their roots and failing to hit the point on why the old games were good. Eg nudoom.
