Sequels aren’t as depressing as reboots.

Sequels is generally admission one is out of original ideas. Reboot is lack of awareness there is such a thing as an original idea.

Not all sequels are equivalent. Some are no better than reboots capitalizing on a movie's success while others are intentional to tell a story that cannot be told in a single 2 hour segment. Star Wars (the first 6 episodes) is a good example of the latter. The crap Disney is flinging at the screen under the name of Star Wars is a good of the former.

Seems to be the same problem that intermittently affects the gaming industry.

Looking at you Bethesda.

What Bethesda need to do is hurry up and produce a new Elder Scrolls game!

Skyrim is 7 years old and I'm damned if I'll be playing it in VR!

That trailer this year was so everyone would quit asking, probably won’t be released until 2020 imo.

I’ll pass on Fallout MMO though.

Yeah, I don't do MMOs.

So I'll give it a miss, too.
