By skyforbes We've seen this trend for decades now. I remember when I was much younger and got to experience The Elder scrolls 5 skyrim. My first venture online to hear others talking about it i read that some didn't see it as an elder scrolls game and was a huge step back.
Carry on to assassin's creed adding rpg elements and fan bases claiming its not true assassins creed. COD adding jetpacks, not real COD
The list goes on..
Doom, Resident Evil. Ninja Gaiden, Silent Hill, God of War. It seems every long running franchise that undergoes any type of change or innovation is subject to this debate.
Where do you stand on it? Do you think its important for games to change and innovate? Do you think game series need to stick to their core identity and gameplay that drew their initial fanbase in? Do yout think its as simple as they named it Silent Hill so its a Silent Hill game, no arguments? How do you feel about this debate, I'm curious to hear others opinions.
