As a fan of a fairly niche genre (crpgs) that recently had a big mainstream-breaking addition with all of the shallow mainstream appeal and a fair bit less of the autistic nonsense that gets me going (BG3), I do fear for the future of the genre depending on the lessons developers take from it.
I can't tell if its a worse fate to be revived by something as actually gay and shallow as BG3 or to simply die without any hope of a comeback like the RTS genre did.
Gal Gun (and its two sequels) is pretty much the only even single-A developed game that's a Rail Shooter in the last 15 years. Loving Rail Shooters is pain. A genre to never be revived. But... The VERY few games for it, are both flagrantly kryptonite to the woke, and actually really decent mechanically, since you have to care to bother to ever make it.
Better one good game, than twenty you don't actually enjoy playing.
I feel for you guys that love genres that are basically "Arcade mode only." That's doomed to always be both niche developed, likely Anime girl focused, and a huge risk of your once every few year game sucking.
My closest love is Gauntlet, which should be an easy sell in the modern era but has had one total game in close to 20 years and it sucked.
The arcade games from the early 00's were a pain to move around. Heavy and weirdly shaped.
Oh, I loved Gauntlet as a kid. Wizard always needed food badly.
Gauntlet Dark Legacy is the epitome of what pure fun and coop gameplay should be. No fluff, no dancing around it, just distilled enjoyment for you or your boys.
I have plans.... But other games are already in the pipeline.
With paramount success for my current endeavours, It's still 3+ years out...
Pokemon Snap 2. Only half joking.
You know, I think you might be right. Ugh, I don't want to buy a whole console for just one game, though. But it IS a very good point.
I thought "rail shooters" were those arcade games where you stand there and shoot things while the camera moves around. The titles currently found in arcades almost all come from a company called "Raw Thrills," and they're essentially the same game with different graphics.
As an extreme fan of the original trilogy, honestly wouldve rather we sat in obscurity.
The only hope is that it will be just enough to attract fellow autists that want to make good games instead of medieval dating simulators.
Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!
