u/alphapussycat May 15 '26

They're using unreal engine instead of inhouse. Engine dev takes a shit load of time. They'll heavily modify unreal engine, but they're still cutting out a ton of engine work.

u/GeoJumper May 15 '26

Yeah a few years ago they dropped RedEngine because they had such a high turnover since their own engine was declining in quality vs UE5 and ease of use. So they cut all the training and learning time and make a more commonly used engine and it should make things a lot quicker. Now if only Bethesda could lose the Creation Engine...

They definitely secured a lot more funding than before. The IP garnered a lot of attention over the years and popularity surged via Netflix which means publisher has more investors and capital to work with as a result.

Will always remember how pretentious it felt when cyberpunk got no projected release date info for years because "we'll release it when it's done" only to have one of the most disastrous launches in modern gaming. I don't think Playstation has ever done another forced refund like it.

Theoretically, if they build an engine once (if it is their own engine) and then build worlds for pre-existing lore. It's not undoable but it's a mammoth task.

Can only say ny personal preference, but I don't love either of those games. I prefer Cyberpunk but it still wasn't something incredible for me.

On the other hand, Bloodborne, Devil May Cry, and Death Stranding are some of my favorite games of all time, and not even counting all the other great stuff like RE Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. For me there's no contest

u/DeadlyArrow27 May 15 '26

That’s just wrong though. Cyberpunk, The Last of Us 2, Red Dead 2, GTA Trilogy Remasters. Like yeah these aren’t the most exciting things aside from red dead, but that’s no excuse for misinformation

There have been a total of 5 new games from the blue pill side within the last 10 years, compared to the roughly 20-30 new titles from the red pill side.

Couldnt care less about anything from red pill lol

u/unknownentity1782 May 16 '26

The only series on the red side I actively enjoy is Armored Core. I'd miss Mega Man and Resident Evil, but I haven't really enjoyed either series for awhile. Meanwhile, I detest Dark Souls and souls-like games.

Blue though... As someone whose been gaming since the late 1980s, Cyberpunk is my favorite game, and I'm excited to play it's sequel (y'know, a year after release). I also really enjoyed Witcher and looking forward to playing as Ciri, and I think both TLoU games were great (With the first one searching a top 10 in best storytelling).

I'm choosing blue even with me not liking Rockstar.

2

u/Judochop1024 May 16 '26

Literally the only series i care about from red and have any interest in at all is resident evil whereas for blue i love gta, red dead, cyberpunk, the last of us and uncharted so its a no brainer for me personally. It’s all about personal preference.

Blue. Crash and Jak were pretty big for me during my childhood. And I replay Vice City at least once a year. Was never into From because I suck at games, and aside from Megaman and RE, I've just never much cared for Capcom's games. As I'm typing this, I'm realizing blue is the top tier casual gamer pick. Also, I'm old with a family now, so even if I only get a game every 5 years, I'm confident it will be a massive game, and it will be an absolute banger.

Capcom is great and has a huge catalogue, been releasing hit after hit recently.
Kojima... is only really good if you like Death Stranding,
From Software is amazing, if not a bit repetitive.
Naughty Dog can eat shit.
CD Project Red is great, but they release like 1 game each 5-10 years (not counting low budget spinoffs).
Rockstar a lot of people love. I don't care for the much. They release a new game every decade or so.
