Creative bankruptcy

New things scare people and aren't likely to be successful. Rehashing an established successful franchise is more likely to make money.
Investors want to make money so they always pick the safest route of business.

>brand recognition never works

sauce please

I'm with this nigga someone give the sauce.

I know what you mean, man I too miss those big triangle shaped boobs.

they don't fug, don't bother

Get ready for disappointment.

New games are shit. There hasn't been a game that revolutionized the industry in years. Companies need to make money somehow so they improve on old games that were proven successful. Same shit applies to technology in general.

Thank you guys, not even wasting my time ;(

Chinese and russian market.

>Chinese and russian market
f2p shit

>want to jerk it to some r34 of Lara
>it's all nu-Lara

Fucking nu-males ruin everything. I want a real woman. Not some thin, flat chested, no ass, cockney slag. I want Lara back

Something already established will almost always sell more compared to something new.

Depends on subject matter but really.

You better get fucking used to reboots, movies can't do shit nowadays with almost nothing new, games are just getting started with creative bankruptcy.

For sex symbol she barely has any porn. That seriously puzzles me.

Already-lewd tends to get very little lewd.

nu-Lara is probably a closeted slut, but original Lara was probably a virgin.

Bayonetta says hi.

Exception at best

Do you even come here for videogames or what

for the same reason the movie industry does reboots of beloved franchises from decades ago.

A difference is that you at least introduce modern games concept into old franchises. Movie reboots tend to be complete cynical cash ins.

They are both cynical cash ins.

Bayonetta doesn't have that much lewd, maybe like 5 good doujin.
And old Lara has the amazingness that are her scenes in Magic Shop and The Butlers Bitch, so I honestly can't complain

at least games usually reprise the original director.

Lack of creativity

>Be game developer
>Decide to be more progressive and tolerant
>Fire all the fucking white males
>Replace them with autistic SJWs
>Autists lack any creativity so at most they can only copy existing stuff while being overzealous in pushing their agenda
>Game market gets filled with remakes

ez fast money
1. youve gotoriginal fags
2. you ve got new fans

2 flies with 1 clap

The only production that can be confirmed to intentionally do this at all cost was a movie.

name a reboot that didn't sell like shit

>create popular franchise
>make copy-pasted sequels
>milk the franchise to death
>fans get bored
>reboot it
>repeat from step 2

Video game porn parodies are still video game related.

It's because the Japs hate gaijins.

Pac-Man World

this. end of discussion

I go to one of the video game boards if I wanna talk about video games.

1 out of dozens of reboot attempts, wow you sure showed me

Besides Pac-Man World could be categorized as a spin-off, nothing was rebooted about the franchise

>PROVE ME WRONG
>gets proven wrong
THAT DOESN'T COUNT!!! WAAAAHHHHHH WAAAAAAHHHHH MOMMA!!!!!!!

>name a [singular] reboot that didn't sell like shit
>name one
>wooooow just one

>ignoring the 2nd sentence with the rebuttal
Pac-Man world is not a reboot

Star Fox 64

What vidya reboots have honestly sold less than you think it would have as a brand new IP?

NOOOOOOO! THAT'S A SPINOFF! REEEEEE!!!

Don't you mean a...barrel...roll...off

Yeah I had to force that one

Could have been worst

>Make TR1
>good
>Make TR2
>kinda good
>Make TR3
>meh
>Make TR4
>nope.avi
>Make TR5
>whoa it's fucking nothing
>Make TR6
>doesn't compute anymore stopped to play after TR3
>make a reboot
>no can do

Yeah I don't know why they want to make reboots,I mean if I grow bored of X franchise chances for me to play it after 20 years are pretty much null.

Sure I will enjoy an high definition version of Atlantis and pyramids levels but kikedos and kikenix do not deserve my money and my time anymore

But it actually doesnt count. Pac Man World doesn't throw out the old series and start over. Its just a continuation in a new gameplay style.

Super Mario Bros was a reboot of the canon established by Donkey Kong and Mario Bros :^)

How so?

>first lara
>second wave feminist

>modern lara
>third wave femnichilist

I bet you've never heard of the "Great Ape War" either, faggot.

No one actually takes these as fact, do they?

It's not an obsession, it's simply the fact they've run out of ideas. Any game/genre you can think of has been done to death, originality is just impossible now. So they focus more on story line (Bioshock infinite isn't even a game) and hope you don't notice the actual game's are crap.

Sauce me amigo

read the thread, newfag

To scared to try somthing new.

Thats why they fail and loose.

Fortune favors the bolt.

I was being fallacious to fuck with the guy but reboot is a vague enough term to justify it.

Megami Tensei to Shin Megami Tensei would work too

But Donkey Kong is canon in the mario universe. A reboot starts the slate completely great.

That buttcrack starts way too low

>nu
What's up with this trend? really, where did it come form and what does it even mean.

dumbass

What, Im supposed to be a meme expert such as yourself?
