Yep, and I think some of the dissatisfaction with the industry from the larger public can be traced back to this. I’m playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the first time, and there’s just no chance they’d release a game with an ecoterrorist group as the protagonists now. AAA space today is so dull.
@marioprime.bsky.socialI used Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 as an excuse to reevaluate Metal Gear Solid 4, a game that increasingly feels like it’s from another world. It’s hard to imagine a big budget game that is this direct about real world issues ever existing again. www.polygon.com/metal-gear-s...
