Yeah they should absolutely turn their masterpiece cycle into annual COD slop.

Did I say annual? They could announce one per year and still be on a 6 year game cycle. They have already said that their unannounced game is a new IP, so we would be on a 7 year cycle. That is not turning anything into COD slop. If they truly are not working on any of those 5, then we are in Bethesda mishandling of Elder Scrolls/Fallout territory that they get blasted about regularly.

The first Gears of Wars was exactly like this on the Xbox 360 where only the person hosting had a good connection with zero latency, and everyone else had to suffer if the host's internet sucked.
I always felt like Halo was mediocre, peaking at the first game and dropping off when the wort-wort-worth squid aliens with the Predator mandibles started speaking as though they had a Master's from Julliards.
Microsoft was treating Gears like the red headed stepchild despite being the first fresh thing on their platforms with a good multiplayer foundation, and we had to pay money for the "privilege" of Halo 2 still getting dedicated servers even past Halo 3's release.

The way Sony has been acting, I'm of the position that I hope Fromsoft holds Bloodborne over their heads until the sun explodes or Sony sells it back knowing that they would just fuck it up like the Demon's Souls remake.
I wish From would pull a Demon's --> Dark Souls with Bloodborne, but Duskbloods' existence probably puts a nail in that unless it's an experiment to see how much interest is in that kind of setting still (huffs copium).

The first Gears cemented my belief that the 360 was the superior machine that generation. I still think it mostly beat the ps3.
I know Sony did win ultimately. I can’t remember the big hitter games on ps3? Final Fantasy 12, Uncharted and last of us?

I've been under the impression that a Elden Ring-ish title is coming, if not Elden Ring 2.. While no official announcements, iirc they've expanded their employees and I am pretty convinced that Nightreign and Duskblood are essentially "beta" test of features that will be rolled into their next -big- title.
If I remember correctly, one of the biggest complaints I saw during Elden Ring was people hating on how archaic online features felt.. the demand for a more seamless experience was high, then the next two games they release are multiplayer focused games and then a PvP arena added in Erd(or slightly before?).
Copium maybe, but if they keep delievering quality.. i'm not complaining. Didn't like Nightreign solo, but when I got some friends to hop on; it was fun.

One per year means annual. If they can currently only put out one quality game every two years but you want them on an annual cycle rotating through each one they’re going to have to double their speed meaning the quality would suffer. Or double their studio size meaning the quality would suffer. I’d love a game from them every year but if the games are shitty then I wouldn’t.
