Why are animated games are often bad? - CYM PRESS

Adaptations to the consoles of our favorite manga / animal are many . But why animal-based games are often bad?

It's normal, when you have a license like Naruto, One Piece or Dragon Ball, wanting to exploit it on all fronts. Mangas, Anime, TV series, OAV, and of course video games are part of this list. Unfortunately, once worn on console, these games do not often meet the expectations of fans. Why ? In fact, we think there are several reasons, but the main must be the money.

Video games = Silver

And we can not blame them. When you have a license as popular as Naruto or attacle of the Titans, you know that there are millions of fans behind. These are likely to buy a game stamped Naruto or one Piece just because there is the name on the jacket. Knowing that the game will be sold at a minimum of 30 euros, it makes a lot of money.

Except that this way of seeing things gives unfounded fighting games or more than repetitive action-RPGs. There is only to see jump force for example. The first game all in 3D gathering the biggest heroes of the most popular shōnens. Ironically, the game has not been so popular. Simply because graphically, it was not up to it. In addition, his playability did not make justice to the universe he was supposed to recreate on console.

Games come from small studios

Since the goal is to make a lot of money, why lose in development? Some or most of these games are not even developed by major publishers. This is the case of Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicle S, a Tomy production. It is a company that normally manufactures and distributes toys.

Financing, human and technological capacities are not the same. Here too, it reflects the economic thought behind all that. "Thean has just come out. We need a game. No need to take the head too much. Give this to a small studio and tell them they have 5 months to do as the previous game. Fans will buy with a good promotion! (rubs his hands) ". It's a fan service what ...

THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE

Why ? First, most of the anime / manga adaptations in video games are shōnens, so they are focused on the fight. That's why we see everywhere. Finally, it is not because all the animals speak of combat that must be done that fighting games. It's still a bad way to see things. Nevertheless, it is true that it is profitable and faster to develop. On the other hand, when the 4 titles are similar to two pixels, there we have the right to sulk, right? There is only to see the naruto shippuden (developed by CyberConnect2) or the one Piece Pirate Warriors (Omega Force). A beautiful supercropare.

However, from time to time, they bring one or two new things into the gameplay, but it is not enough to mark the difference between the new title and the previous one. We have the same problem on the side of sports games like NBA 2K.

Honestly, we prefer to wait 2 years and have an excellent game, instead of the same title every year without real news. And you ? What do you think ?
