    Is anyone surprised? The only thing I hope will happen is that people put the blame where it belongs and not by the developers.

    I had to look up gameplay since I didn’t even hear about this game, and it’s way worse than I expected. I would have loved a remaster of the PS2 version that I was too scared to play as a child though.

      I watch sometimes watch a couple of youtubers making a video game without talking to each other. Every one has just has something like 4 hours to work on the game, before passing it to the next deveoloper. And every game they produce in their 16 to 20 hours total looks better than this thing.

    You know what else was made in a year? Doom 2, one of the best games of all time.

        Yeah can’t blame devs. They did what they can with the time they had. Blame the people who only gave them a year…

      Doom 2 added few features and had almost identical graphics, copying many assets. It would be an easy list for any dev. Oh yeah, it also had some of the smartest and most skilled developers in gaming.

        So was Fallout New Vegas.

        Though I would hesitate to count Fallout or Majora’s Mask here because they were based on existing games, so the breadth of the work on things like mechanics had already been done, and they had the ability to re-use a lot of assets.

        I don’t know the extent of asset or code reuse for Vice City, so I can’t really say if that should be counted the same or not.

            Also worth noting that fnv was developed under heavy crunch and it’s a miracle the game is as good as it is. It’s the exception, not the rule.

            Fallout New Vegas is still considered to be one of the best Fallout games ever. I expect there was significant overlap in the development period with Fallout 3 though so just subtracting one release date from another doesn’t represent the amount of time in development.

        Vice City was more like 18 months of development, some of which overlapped with GTA III. I suppose it helps to have a working game engine and an experienced development team who can iterate on something they’re already made.

        This isn’t a great take as the infrastructure from GTA3 and Ocarina of Time were already in place for those games.

      This is like saying that because you can write a sentence in one hour someone else should be able to write a trilogy of 1000 page books in an hour too.
