Yes. From everything I’ve heard and seen, it doesn’t look like they’re going to be making another isometric CRPG anytime soon. It’s a pretty niche genre anyway, even Larian’s success with Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t change that.
Yeah what happened with Larian redefining the industry standard with BG3? I thought there was a big hubbub about people realizing that we’ve been living on scraps by comparison
I assume that leaderships don’t want to put in the work, because that would cost money and talented developers get uppity when you can’t/won’t threaten them with immediate replacement with LLMs and inexperienced, low-paid devs. And nevermind getting on Larian’s level, most big publishers seem to prefer remakes over originals.
You’re right. I guess that did happen literally right before the LLM-boom gasoline hit the gaming industry dumpster fire.
Yeah I just mean they’ve stepped out from making exclusively CRPGs way before being bought out by Microsoft. And they are still making weird more niche games from time to time. Like Grounded, Pentiment?
