@omegasmash1@Moth865 Do you think these devs just hand over the reins and sit back with no input?
Just look at Tose, arguably the most important studio in Japan.
So much of the industry is based around a core creative team farming out the grunt work in oversight producer positions.
@Moth865 Nintendo as a whole really. They're so much a toy company that they don't understand why you wouldn't simply move on to a new toy.
Which is why them being so nostalgia laden lately is so odd. What is making them perceive their back catalog more than archival curios?
@CassieClown@BluThundrBmb@Bozzy_NZ The Elite leaving NJPW cut the wind out of the sail of a lot of foreign fans who idiosyncratically didn't end up turning in to AEW because it was "another WWE alternative.'
Not "different enough".
@MaskedBatter@Dijonaroni@DrStorm44@Cer0_20S And that's not counting 2.5D action platformers like Replaced or Castlevania Belmont's Curse
It's a prolific style of game
Which is why Rayman Origins getting remade in 2.5D is so odd
@MaskedBatter@Dijonaroni@DrStorm44@Cer0_20S Trine 6 got announced yesterday
LIFTED comes out next week
Darwin's Paradox and new Yoshi just came out
Hasn't even been a full three years since Mario Wonder or Sonic Superstars
The year before that had Marsupilami
I could go on
2.5D platformers come out all the time
@omarsbigsister@ps1loadscreen Showrunner and production company left
Disney no longer interested in producing the series
No meaningful info on the hail mary new/old Doctor actor
@Sidd11857429@baggins1986@SethLargo@BaronvonBrucegg The main value of his work ethic is he isn't focused on linearity.
He regularly starts on a work and then shelves it to come back to later.
His consistency is in having a daily routine of a minimum bar to hit rather than an endgoal.
@rin_404@sagegarlic@NopeSignal Grezzo is still actively working on the series, I'd be surprised if they didn't have it.
Nintendo is also notorious for having extensive source code archives that go beyond even their own developed titles.
@darkcola2@Wario64 Compelling case to be made for:
Super Mario RPG
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
The Pokรฉmon Mystery Dungeon series (Specifically Explorers of Sky is GOATed)
Metroid Prime
Smash Bros series
Flagship's Zeldas and Grezzo's A Link Between World's
@SummerGleaming@idiothead25@officialfrogfan@ShickDits The point was not that James sucks but that he seemingly has never stepped back to re-evaluate his process and that is just so odd for someone doing it as long as he has.
