“Remake!”
“Reboot!”
“Remaster!!”
“Enhanced graphics!!!”
It’s the year 2024 and no original ideas are coming from the AAA videogames producers, but lots of those coming from indie developers and publishers instead.
I believe you know where you should throw your money.

@innkeeper@gamerstavern.online It’s so predictable-game publishers, movie studios, and other media outlets always take the ‘bankable’ path, guaranteeing their return. Yet they fail every single time as new ideas are left wayside.
I’m all for leveraging better means to enhance long loved games and stories, but not at the expense of innovative and new ideas.
Any great RPGs in the indie scene? Or are those beasts just too big to handle for small teams (reminds me that I did like the knights of pen and paper)?
@Valmond@lemmy.world I never played it personally but I heard great things about Disco Elysium
It’s on my toplay list, or at least to check out list!
@innkeeper@gamerstavern.online @Valmond@lemmy.world I know it’s called an RPG but I almost feel like Disco Elysium is more graphic novel? Maybe 50/50. What I’ve played of it was good but I’ve yet to finish it.
I’m really enjoying Sea of Stars. It’s probably not the high-poly open world action RPG you had in mind though.
Ha ha Knights of pen&paper is 2D pixel and also I’m not a fan of “realistic” (I prefer Diablo 2 original vs Remake for example).
@Valmond @innkeeper Currently enjoying exploring the weird world in Dread Delusion, though it’s light on RPG mechanics. Reminiscent of the excellent exploration and nostalgic feeling of Lunacid. In my opinion the best ARPG currently out is Grim Dawn, if you like more RPG depth with your carnage. Lots of great indie RPGs.
Grim dawn definitely looks like something to check out.
@innkeeper@gamerstavern.online In indie games, you also typically get a lot more games for your money.
@yora@mastodon.gamedev.place right, another great reason
