Will this gen have a signature trilogy?
- Thread starter Teggy
- Start date
We may have to count it
I was thinking this one would be possible, definitely. They're wrapping up 2 when they could've kept it going and Switch probably had another 3+ years on it

Watch dogs released cross gen on the same day so IMHO it counts.
yep, think that may be the only one
Also would DMC1-3 count on PS2? Noticed you didn't put it
Since when is Splatoon 1 current gen? Do you count the Wii U and the Switch as the same generation? They are not.
Plus, there is no 3.

Best games last gen all had 2 in the title... Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2, Assassin's Creed 2.
This gen was mostly continuation of series that started last gen.

Right, thanks for reminding what a silly distinction "generations" are
That's the entire premise of this thread though, so we've gotta keep it a bit reasonable.
Yeah, no, you're definitely right. I didn't think about them being technically different gens at first, but thinking about, it's so silly
I hate how video games gets so expensive nowadays.
Sure it's nice to have graphics and presentation like God of War, but I would be just fine with all games looking like Dead Space 2. If that means faster development cycle and less risk.
Everytime someone mocks a game for "looking like a PS3 game" I get a little sad inside, cause people don't understand the cost of looking like a PS4 game, it takes so much money, so many people and so many time just to "keep up".
Playing Dead Space 2 on PC now makes me wonder, how amazing this gen would've been if video game graphic and production value stops here? Instead of new engines we just run the old ones in 1080p 60fps instead.
We are making it harder & longer for creators to execute their creativity, we are also making it riskier. Games like ICO and SOTC are no longer "worth it" anymore.

Man remember back in the PS2 days where you got 3 GTA's, Manhunt, Bully, Midnight Club, Warriors from Rockstar.. in the one generation.. the pursuit of power was a mistake...
then how are there games listed in this thread that released before Splatoon 1?
Wii U and Switch are in the same "generation" only because the Wii U failed and Nintendo had to make a replacement real fast. the Wii U started this gen.

Hey, remember when we would get 3 final fantasies per generation?
dev cycles are becoming longer, meaning single player games are getting more expensive to make. a lot of devs move to short to develop MP titles where you can tie games as a service stuff to. even with tools becoming smarter and more efficient, the workload is still getting longer and becoming more complex.
In the time you make a Last of us 2, you can develop 2 MP titles with GaaS model and earn way more money

They did it with assassins 2 with Ezio, 2 was good but the other two games were boring.
SONY has MASSIVE IP's this gen that will no doubt get sequels next gen just looks like they'll be trilogies everywhere at the expense of this generation.
If Youngblood can get Wolfenstein on the list with a technicality Id like to submit Dishonored
I'm not sure we're getting Dishonored 3, let alone getting it this gen, haha.
Its almost like the whole reason I brought up Youngblood was because I was counting Death of the Outsider as a technical third entry dude. Try reading the posts you respond to its not that difficult.
But the first game was last gen, so you only got two games this gen. Unless you simply mean trilogies which had an entry this generation, which seems like you could just say "The Witcher" and be done with it.
Isnt there technically 4 though? King knight is coming soon i thought
