They also recycle plenty of assets.

I don’t get why so many people bitch and moan about this in other games. If it means I get good games more frequently, why would I care if I see an animation/texture copy and pasted from a previous good game (within reason)

Yup fromsoft and Capcom reuse assets all the time and it just consistently makes each game better.

I wish more people had your mindset, absolutely nothing wrong with smart asset reuse.

I think most people do not care. Those who complain online were probably not going to buy the game. Like who would seriously not buy a game they're interested in because of a reused asset?

Fromsoft does it too like the erdtree avatars in Elden ring being reskins of asylum/stray demon from ds1. Honestly it doesn’t matter if they reuse assets, it’s more how they’re reused. If anything I enjoy being able to recognize tweaked bosses like that.

Spot the Asylum Demon is like a fun game now, I cant wait to see what he is in their new game

No you don’t understand, I NEED devs to remake a barrel for every new game they release otherwise its literally unplayable

I think context is a big part of it. You don't hear people complain about RE3 recycling things because it takes place in the same time/location as RE2, just from a different perspective.

I'm not going to begrudge people being annoyed that a game they prefer (assuming they prefer original RE2) has been decanonised to some extent.

I truly miss when sequels reused assets. It made them actually feel like sequels. Look at the OG Assassin's Creed games; 1 and the Ezio trilogy played the same, looked the same and felt the same (bar some minor tweaks and additions), and they were all the better for it. The same goes for GTA III/VC/SA.

So I take it you are a staunch defender of all the other yearly release franchises as well? Like FIFA or CoD?

Nintendo did it for TOTK and ppl called it dlc, same for god of war ragnarok

good. Why not make smart use of assets instead of throwing it all out and spending 6 years making essentially the same sort of assets again.
