I would agree this has been the best year in recent times. It feels like we’re finally pushing past the impact of COVID, and the industry is getting used to being remote, or dragging everyone back to the office.
I’m not completely in the loop, but off the top of my head we’ve gotten:
AAA:
- SF6
- RE2
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Diablo 4
Indie:
- Battlebit Remastered
- Dave the Diver
And we still have the holiday season to look forward to. Maybe not the best year ever, but still a fantastic one, and especially so given how slow the last few years have been,
Here are some more:
- Falcon 4.0
- Rainbow Six
- Unreal
- Battlezone
- Gran Turismo
That´s actually insane for one year!
Back then, studios had to actually make new games to make more money. Nowadays, you make one game and then just milk it for a decade.
I mean… 2023 is shaping up to be pretty dope so far. FF16, Pikmin 4, Diablo IV, Armored Core (assuming it’s good), Tears of the Kingdom…
'93 had Doom and we’re still installing Doom on things.
