And with AAA game development now expected to take longer than ever, these half-sequels might be a way to address a potential new release shortage. So far nobody has done them better than PlayStation.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"mobile-ad-break\"><\/section>\n<p>Looking back, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that these standalone expansions rank as some of my favorite games in the past decade. Uncharted Lost Legacy is one of my two favorite Uncharted games in the series, alongside Uncharted 2, and Miles Morales\u2019 big advantage over Spider-Man was telling a story I had rarely heard before. Consider this: I\u2019ve watched three different Peter Parker movies and watched him star in countless cartoons, but I never read an Ultimate Spider-Man comic in my life. It was new and fresh, but with all of the things from Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man that I already loved.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">We should only whisper it for now, but the biggest AAA games are taking almost a decade to come out.<\/section>\n<p>It\u2019s not just PlayStation either. FromSoftware has never released a DLC I wouldn\u2019t consider among my favorite games of all time, from Dark Souls\u2019 Artorias of the Abyss to the all-time hall-of-famer, Bloodborne: The Old Hunters.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I also prefer shorter games. This jet-set lifestyle of mine means I\u2019m always traveling to exotic locales (like, uh, Edmonton?) and playing new games. And while I\u2019m no statistician, if a game is shorter there\u2019s a better chance I finish it (I also appreciate that for some, having lots to do in a big, sprawling game is what people want). Also, it\u2019s not really fair to call these games short. How Long to Beat pings both <a href=\"https:\/\/howlongtobeat.com\/game\/79859\"><u>Miles Morales<\/u><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/howlongtobeat.com\/game\/41814\"><u>Lost Legacy<\/u><\/a> at close to 20 hours for a full playthrough.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"uncharted-the-lost-legacy-official-gameplay-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Admittedly the distinction between a standalone expansion and DLC is pretty arbitrary. I suppose the only defining trait of the standalone expansion is that it might cost more than what we expect a normal DLC pack to cost, but even that\u2019s not really accurate. Consider a character pass in games like Street Fighter where getting 4 new characters now costs $30 as Capcom seemingly don&#8217;t release their new character a la carte anymore.<\/p>\n<p>To borrow from the famous Supreme Court ruling, \u201cI know it when I see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, one thing that isn\u2019t a personal preference is that game development times are becoming much, much longer. It\u2019s been happening slowly, and we should only whisper it for now, but the biggest AAA games are taking almost a decade to come out. Literally, who knows if and when we\u2019ll see Ghost of Tsushima 2? Could be 2026 \u2014 could be 2036. Either way, we shouldn\u2019t treat expansions as appetizers when they might be the only major release we\u2019ll see from a studio in years.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, a standalone expansion for the ages and a challenger for Game of the Year.<\/section>\n<p>The standalone expansion has served PlayStation well in times of drought, with Uncharted Lost Legacy and Naughty Dog\u2019s big DLC, The Last of Us: Left Behind, both releasing at the halfway point between The Last of Us Part 1 and The Last of Us Part 2. CD Projekt Red, with several projects that we know of in development but no release date for any of them in sight, has gifted us with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-review\">Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty<\/a>, a standalone expansion for the ages and a challenger for Game of the Year in a year that saw the release of both The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, with AAA game sequels looking increasingly further away, we\u2019re likely going to approach a new paradigm. One where ideally big studios can take a chance on new IP and in the meantime satiate existing fans with smaller, more bespoke experiences from our beloved franchises. Especially if the sequel ends up being just a bloated version of the first game that gets bogged down by being essentially the same game but with \u201cmore systems and more waypoints.\u201d I won\u2019t name names, but I can think of at least two major sequels in the last five years that could\u2019ve benefited from being a standalone expansion instead.<\/p>\n<p><section data-transform=\"poll\" data-id=\"2eae0fab-2c82-4ac5-a93b-291b6ecaf0f2\"><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<p>Something is going to change in AAA game development, it has to. But until then, I think we should appreciate the standalone expansions especially as they deliver full-length quality experiences without the decade-long wait.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/half-sequels-like-uncharted-lost-legacy-are-the-future\">Go to Source (IGN.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
