We deserve better than the boring carry capacity systems 90% of RPGs give us, but games like Death Stranding 2 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show the way forward

RPG enthusiasts often experience a thrill from loot collection, leading to the accumulation of vast amounts of treasure to exchange for coin. In "Kingdom Come: Deliverance," the author scavenged a battlefield to acquire powerful weapons and armor. The traditional carry capacity in RPGs is seen as lacking creativity, while "Death Stranding 2" offers a more engaging item transport system that encourages creative thinking and interaction with the game world. This game allows players to customize how they carry items, enhancing the gameplay experience. "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2" features an armor system with social implications, making the preparation for adventures immersive. "Red Dead Redemption 2" balances practicality and aesthetics in gear management, allowing for realistic storage options. The tabletop RPG "Blades in the Dark" introduces a system where players choose their load before a heist, impacting gameplay strategy. The author suggests that RPGs could benefit from more detailed carry mechanics, enhancing the loot experience and creating a more meaningful interaction with gear collection. Many games currently use a simple numerical representation of carry capacity, which lacks depth compared to more tangible systems that could evoke a greater sense of value in loot collection.

BioShock maestro Ken Levine says Judas is ‘very old school’ because ‘you buy the game and you get the whole thing… no online component, no live service’

More than a decade has passed since the release of Bioshock Infinite's expansion, Burial at Sea. The development of Infinite led to significant restructuring within Irrational Games, which transformed into Ghost Story Games. Ghost Story's first title, Judas, aims to revive single-player narrative-driven shooters. Ken Levine expressed optimism about the demand for such games despite a shift in the industry towards multiplayer and monetization strategies. He cited recent successful single-player games like Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as evidence that traditional single-player experiences can still thrive. The latest trailer for Judas, released in January 2024, emphasizes player choices. A fourth installment of the Bioshock franchise is in development at Cloud Chamber, featuring a team from Irrational and 2K Marin.
