Like Sans being Ness in a failed timeline is funny and actually possible if not for IP infringement but I'm not even talking about shit like that. For some reason due to creepypastas people think half the zelda games are links dying fever dream. However this is r-slurred as the official zelda timeline lists every major zelda. All of them are canon in explicit detail. Why would this even be a thing anyone would bring up?

Resident evil series figured out a new release every year or two.
Final Fantasy figured it out.
Mario figured it out.
The call of duty franchise figured it out.
Game sequels should at most take 3 years to release.
After that its too long to remain invested.
Rockstar only gets away with it because there is a nigh and day difference in quality with each mainline release.
Even Assassins creed has it figured out.
5 years for a gears of war sequel is too long.
5 years for a spiderman game sequel is too long.
The world doesn't have the time to wait that long.
The only time you get away with time spans longer than 5 years is when you completely revolutionize the quality of the game in the sequel. Making a night and day difference in quality.
Half the AAA titles out there have a hard time doing this.
GTA VI and Death Stranding 2 are the only two true AAA titles worth looking forward to right now.
Next year is going to suck.
Other giant studios need to start doing an activision and have multiple smaller studios working on the same franchise to get one release out every year or two at most.
Conclusion:
The ps6 is going to be even less impressive than the jump between the ps4 and the ps5.

I haven't hear much about it and since /r/samandtolki got banned I don't know about if thier was any drama.
I don't care that GDQ became more politically left-wing, mainly because I'm more left leaning than 99% of this website, but god darn it has become so corporate friendly and heckin wholesome, and you can't go 10 seconds without hearing unfunny donation messages.
Any good cringe, or drama?

Time between GTA V and GTA vi = 12 years
Time between elden ring and sekiro shadows die twice = 3 years (longest gap for fromsoft)
Time between death stranding 1 and 2 = 5 years
Call of Duty BO 6 development time - 4 years ( new record for a CoD game )
Time between Doom 2016 and doom eternal - 4 years
Time between Doom eternal and Doom the dark ages - 4 years
The last of us part 2 development time - 6+ years
Generally video game development time is considered to be around 3-5 years, but here we can see that for triple AAA titles it is 4-10 years of development now, with the development times likely to only get longer over time as the effort required to make a better game keeps increasing as every new game requires more features in a competitive market and budgets balloon into the hundreds of millions.
At the rate things are going, expect your favorite games sequel to come out once every 5 years.
The video game development cycle has just become too long to keep a consumer excited any longer. The technology is advancing too slow and no longer moving in leaps and bounds, with the in game technology barely catching up to graphics demos from ten years ago.
After GTA VI comes out, how many of you are ready to wait another 15 years for GTA VII to come out? A video game franchise appeal just doesn't last that long.

I haven't played the first two since I was a kid and I wanted to see how they hold up. I tried starting with Warcraft but it's completely unplayable. Which is kind of sad because I think with just three tweaks it would still be incredibly dated but at least playable. It needs:
1. Right click to move, attack, etc - By far the most painful omission. Having to hit a hot key every single time to just move around is so painful.
2. Bulk select units - You can only group up to four units at a time which is pretty bad but the worst part is you have to shift click them all individually.
3. Unit group hotkeys - The lack of these is especially egregious given the above. Every single time you want to issue orders to more than one unit you have to shift click them all.
After giving up a few missions in I moved on to Warcraft II which is a much smoother experience. It has some dated designs (weak mission design overall, needing to hunt down every last fricking enemy building to complete the mission) but it's still completely playable and fun. I'm awful at RTS games so it's possible I'll hit a point where the missions are too hard and I move on but so far it's been smooth.
I plan to run through Warcraft III as well. I bought Reforged on sale, I know it had a rough launch but it seems okish now and I think it will be worth it just to play at a normal resolution.

I have no idea why they're spacing the releases out so much. I would dump all this shit within weeks with minimal marketing, but then again, I'm not a high-IQ Warner Brothers executive.

the source:
I think you're mixing communicating and giving new information together. Communication doesn't have to be giving us new info.
ie Travis used to pop up on reddit in bug report threads with comments like "This is definitely not intended, I've passed this onto the team" or "It looks like the team are already aware of this". Its acknowledging what people are putting out (doesn't have to be every single comment people make either). Samir has been the CM for almost six months now, I honestly couldn't tell you if he even has an account on reddit.
During the 5+ week period he didn't even load this forum in March/April, he was on Twitter almost daily on the Hitman account replying to extremely random tweets. While we were here asking for clarification on things and waiting for answers, he was too busy tweeting to a random streamer that the Hitman account liked their new hair colour. I'm not even kidding - this is a real tweet
https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/ios-failure-to-communicate/21538
the story: essentially Hitman is on life support as the team is hard at work on the Bond game theyre developing, but with no news on the Bond game theyre still putting out new content for the game. however, while they do this, theyve hired a new guy called Combatglue to do the community managing. not only is he quite bad at his job, taking month-long breaks to go to Twitchcon but he's also using his job purely to promote his twitch channel with like 7k followers
this making Hitman fans really mad and not only have they been researching the guy's history of being lazy at other game dev studios theyve found out that he's been trying to flirt with people using the account, including this transwoman:
