Why not port the N64 version to new consoles rather than whatever the hell this one is? I bet you anything the original game's multiplayer with online would be FUN as hell.

Who was supposed to be the target audience for this anyway?

no it looked like shit. scripted bullshot trailer with no real gameplay and an intentionally trannified MC.

The cost saving allure of Unreal 5 looks appealing to the bean counters. They don't play games, know nothing of programming, and paying a comparatively small fee for a "free" engine seems too good a deal to pass up. Yes, it's a forever tax on your game, but you also get to save on engine development. Now your team is full of people who know nothing about how to make an engine and can only work in Unreal environments.

>Whoops the game looks worse but has 15x the spec requirements of past games
>Whoops, there's still lag even if you have a modern GPU
>Whoops, lighting and shaders are one of the pre-set defaults making it look like everything else
>Whoops, the game isn't optimized since no one knows how to program or knows how to optimize (it's not a function within Unreal so it's basically wizardry for them)
>Whoops, half the assets in the game were bought in some store making the entire game look very generic
>customers notice the sloopification of the series even if they can't always articulate it

They know, but they're twitter addicts, or if they're not a majority of those around them are twitter addicts. They get shamed by twitter peopel and try to appeal to twitter people. In part because they're clueless nobodies who know nothing and no one is there to stop them, and they have otherwise very little power. They can't decide if a project si made, what genre, but they can ensure it doesn't have "the male gaze".

LOL

Are the suits getting scared and cancelling all the ugly women games?

>development since 2018

Is this the pattern? AAA western devs toil away for fucking ever, produce nothing, then the game is cancelled? Not a single person at these companies gives a shit about the product, and seem to treat it like a giant welfare program for women. This is like the 10th example of this?

Westerners seem incapable of producing ANYTHING right nwo.

>work for years producing nothing
>be paid for all of your work the entire time
>you make an entire career out of this
>a non zero number of people care about you losing this stipend and treat you as if you were an actual person and not a bipedal parasite

We have reached something between survival mode and post scarcity, if you pay attention it seems that as much as 80% of a first world economy is actually devoted to producing nothing or producing more things that do, or its doing something but at extreme inefficiency.

The survival strategy most middle class game devs in the west have settled upon is to act like parasites to suck up as many resources and to keep game development going as long as possible because the job market is so hard, and to try to justify your own existance while doing as little as possible. A kind of corporate welfare program, mostly for white women and brown women.
