There's soon to be a few dozen or so jobless VAs. That's pretty nice.

I don't see how this is a positive trend, considering we won't go back to text based games, thus we won't get dialogue complexity and good character development, so in turn we'll get the same exact shit we have now but with even worse, cheaper VAs.
And it won't benefit resource allocation in terms of budget because 99% of the budget is wasted on marketing no matter what.

So in short this doesn't benefit video games.
If it doesn't benefit video games, it's useless.

here's what we'll get: scab VAs who a) won't suck up the entire budget and b) might actually be good, as opposed to at least half of the current crop of "big names"

fucking stunt pay. what a retarded thing to strike over. stunt pay!

This is actually a pretty good question and not some cuckchan immigrant shitpost.

It's kind of hard to answer, though. I mean, when discussing AAA games, there's really not much going on outside of genres being genres. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't really seem like the market is absolutely saturated with AAA garbage - you get the annual CoD/Ass Creed that turbo-normalfags buy, play, and never talk about again, and then you get the annual 3 or so "failed" AAA games that is either undermarketed, broken, or plain shit. Then every 3-5 years, a game from a series respected by hipsters and nugamers gets a new release.

Really, there aren't any "trends" in the industry as of now. 20 years ago, 3D platformers were the shit, 10 years ago, FPS games were the shit. Hard to tell what's going on right now because the turbo-normalfags are shifting to mobile gaming and AAA companies are trying to keep those normalfags on gaming consoles/PC's.

In other words, there's not much going on in AAA games other than trying to stay relevant. All we're getting is sequels, spinoff's, and clones of various other games in different genres.

Firearm animations are top tier nowadays and most dont trigger my autism.

I like that resolution scaling is a thing in the options nowadays. It sure makes my screen look blurry as fuck, but at least my toaster can run it, and it does a lot to boost framerates.

anons falling for it

The market is slowly being saturated with new talents and is more open despite all attempts to stop this by prominent DRM-platforms and shitpost companies, and I can look forward to excellent content from "indie but not shit" studios from across the world like
as they develop into fully-fledged gaming studios.
