When will 2deep4u come back to vidya? Why has this stupid medium

mgsv was not long ago and it is rigged with 2deep4u

There will always be a current 'type' of game that is prevelant until we speak out about being sick of it.

>Platformers
>WW2 games
>Modern Warfare games
>2deep4u so philosophical point 'n' clicks
>MOBAs
>Hero games
>???

it cut back on story though
Xenogears was very wordy

When publishers give money for such projects. But they obviously care more about accessibility and profit than experimentation and elaborate themes.

I don't think it should become a trend though, I'm fine with having one or two every year.

Everyone wants platformers back.

I look back on the PS1 and PS2 and think, "damn, look at dem games".
I look at the PS4 and Switch and think, "Well, at least Japan has a Seiken Densetsu collection".

But back then games were much cheaper to develop so the system allowed for more experimentation and riskier projects. Besides, there still wasn't a defined knowledge of what people liked and the size of each audience, so they had more incentives to try new things, because if you nailed it, you would get the entire market.

Publishers are unwilling to invest 40 million in niche stuff, it sucks but it's understandable.

they weren't cheaper at all. that's just inflation devaluing currency

Nier 2 has almost as many Eva references as Xenogears despite being half as long

Obviously you don't play a lot of indie games.

Every second indie game's story is some 2deep4u bullshit because they think it's "cool" not to give a definitive conclusion to their aggressively mediocre story based on some shit they read in college once.

Inflation is a factor, but not to that extent. The costs have been skyrocketing, specially since the previous gen. Developers have been complaining about it for years too.

Having Eva references (I don't remember if it does) is unrelated to being 2deep4u. It's like we use Eva as a standard for depth or something, like it's the creator of meaningful narrative. And I love Eva, but this no different than "the Dark Souls of X" that we hear so often lately that adds nothing and trivializes both works.
Automata has complex themes because it wants to say its own thing, same with Xenogears, which is extremely unrelated to Eva aside from some superficial and probably coincidental similarities.
