the fatigue I’m referring to isn’t necessarily referring to its commercial merit, but more so its overbearingness on popular culture.

Do the numbers support the claims that there is fatigue with open world games, or is it just that a vocal minority who don’t like that there are so many of them are repeatedly and loudly claiming that their is fatigue.

I would put money on the latter.
the latter
Open World games are selling better than ever and there would be zero reason for any of them to stop being made. My only complaint is that not necessarily bigger = better (Valhalla or Odyssey for example) because the content in it isn’t good enough.

Cannot ignore those PC sales anymore. PC is growing.

I was shocked to see someone on era say that they don’t think avowed would be shown off this year which would be nuts because a lot of people I talk to think that its coming before fable, I’m in the camp that fable is coming out first
Avowed is still in early stages of development.
I mean an orphan or some family member died or past trauma, them he turns to vigilantism or discovers own superpowers and there is a huge portal in the sky and all hell break loose in either NewYork, SanFrancisco, Paris, Tokyo or London and there is some crazy russian scientist. So different I guess.

Where is Cuphead DLC?
There’s no way it is. I feel like they have been working on that since late 2017, Sponger has said it was targeting late 2022 or early 2023 most likely 2023 due to covid
Skyrim kind of revolutionised the genre though
Yeh I thought Avowed was pinned as being further along than Fable?
They started development around the same time I believe but the fable team had less people there at the time. I think they’re similar and size now and there was a rumor way early on that they were using some fable assets form the canceled game so idk if that helped at all with preproduction stuff.
I’m with you.

nobody said we need leess ow games after BOTW, The Witcher3, HHorizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tushima, Fallout 4, RDR2… it really is a ubi thing.
I think Horizon is one game that would benefit a lot from not being open world, or at least not one as barren as the one it had.
As for Ghost, I haven’t played yet, but it looks like a lot like AC, even on the number of secondary activities/collectibles… Does it really differentiate itself well enough to not fall under the same traps Ubi games tend to?
Whelp I would not be shocked if dying light 2 gets canceled at this point or get bought out buy someone
That has been my textbook example for years. I loved the first section of that game. Then when it dumps you out in the open-world, I lost all interest.
