For starters they keep making mostly the same game over and over. They’re essentially doing the Bethesda shtick except their end results are better. Sticking to stuff that can mostly be made in the same engine as the thing you finished 15 minutes ago is going to shave off a lot of time compared to making a new game.
Of course that’s not to shit on incremental improvements or engine reuse or anything. That is just sound thinking as long as the games are good.
You’re totally right. I’m a fan of the Xenoblade series and it’s obvious that they use the same engine with some slightly different tweaks and mechanics.

They also had great success with Sekiro, which was (and still is) very different from their other titles.
It’s still the same engine and general gameplay concept though. The combat was the big difference.
Huh… Not really? How is Armored Core 6 “mostly the same game” as Elden Ring?
Ac6 is “basically” the same game as ac 1 through 5 or whatever. Elden ring is “basically” the same game as the dark souls saga.
Have you played any of the games you’re mentioning? Doesn’t sound like it, to be honest.
This would be like saying “all those Marios games are all the same, Super Mario World is “basically” Super Mario Odyssey”
Played and have beaten them all. Youre not seeing what Im trying to say
All the Mario platform games are basically the same. You have the 2d ones and 3d.
Yeah - I won’t bother replying, this is the most absurd simplification I’ve ever heard. This place is like Reddit, except with even denser comments.
I guess all games are the same - you just press buttons and lights go blinky blinky on the screen.

If he hasn’t played them, he’s managed to get the right answer. I have played them, and AC6 is to AC1-5 as Dark Souls 3 is to Dark Souls 1 and 2.
