It looks like ExoPrimal could be Capcoms first big miss in a while!

I work as a gamedev since 2005, now an indie but before was in a top AAA publisher and worked in top mobile and browser games including some of the early top F2P games there.
But well, this doesn't matter for this case. Any player can see that all games take references from popular games, trying to learn what works in them. So they always have similarities with a ton of games. Destiny, as the fastest selling new IP ever and a huge success like its sequel, has been very influential so many games took a few references from it.
But then there are copycats, who basically copy most mechanics, features game concept or even artstyle or setting from a single game. This is not the case of Avengers, Redfall, Knack or Pikmin at all. Avengers or Redfall have a few small things in common with Destiny but also with many other big games that also did it both before and after Destiny (example: loot tier colors, goes back to at least Diablo II or WoW), and have way more key things that make them completely different games compared to Destiny, and at the same time Destiny does many key things that aren't in these other games.
Avengers is not even an argument. It's as much a copycat as Anthem. And Redfall def falls into that pot as I described. It's not a few small things - that's a complete lie for dummies. It's critical gameplay systems and the structure and interconnection between them that makes the overall game function. Visual asset differences and thematic differences make no difference to that core argument. So no. Swing and miss.
I'll wait for the bait to be bit wherein you ask me how Avengers is a Destiny copycat. Supposedly you don't think it's. You bit what wasn't originally intended as bait and turned into one. Not too smart.

Looking deeper at Exoprimal, I think there's a cultural disconnect going on. The big glowing ball dropping a load of dinosaurs should be funny, in theory, and it was clearly intended to be. But I think the near universal concensus is that it isn't and that has really hurt the game’s marketing. Given that there seemingly is no market for "shoot generic dinosaurs as they crawl out of a portal," the game was thus doomed to fail unlike EDF where people are content to mindlessly stomp bugs.
What I think the team missed is that the target audience actually secretly likes dinosaurs, like, seriously, and would have preferred them in a less tongue in cheek manner.

Huge flop. Nobody bought the game on PC. Game Pass made another victim.
Whats Pikmin 4 like?
I love Pikin. Ive always wanted a longer game or Pikin game that keeps getting content. Is that the case with Pikmin 4?
I don't know, I assume it will be pretty much like the previous ones but with better visuals and some new minor addition.
The minor addition is an alien dog that you can ride. He runs faster than default Olimar and can "throw" pikmin en masse to avoid the first one or two into combat instantly dieing. I think they also give you a new pikmin type (flying fairy pikmin?) but it would be a shock if they didn't.
