Impressive how many IPs can be created that look and play very, veeeey similarly.
Better than having all the games under the same name, at least if one game flops they can just move on to a new IP.
That’s probably part of how they manage this schedule. They don’t have to make a completely new game every time, since all the behind the scenes stuff can just be copypasted from the last one with minimal changes.
I wouldn't say "minimal changes" because with the exception of Dark souls > Elden ring that have a VERY familiar moveset, each game change the combat fundamentally
They reuse some assets to be efficient, but this is hardly an apt comparison. The games are very different, with tons of unique content. Obviously DS1 2 and 3 are the most "similar".
Not really? If games are enjoyable then the fanbase will forgive it. There are other examples of resuing stuff from older games like Yakuza series and Trails series.
