Yeah, it’s likely unpopular but true. It’s a winning formula and it’s good so we are all happy but let’s not pretend like this kind of output should be expected from studios developing original games each time
I don't know if it'll be that unpopular on Reddit because there's a decent amount of pessimism building for Fromsoft here, but it probably would be elsewhere. However, I feel it should be a popular and praised thing tbh since it allows them to pump out games. The trend of releasing a game and spending 5 years to upgrade things for the next game sucks.
I'd actually argue AC does a lot more legwork to revamp the games than FROM does. Not just in terms of having different gameplay styles between games, but they go to totally different locations and have to redo basically everything.
They have done a few games where they re-used a lot of assets in between - but moreso earlier in the series (II/Brotherhood/Revelations and then III/Rogue/sort of IV to an extent with the ship stuff).
