Why isn't CS2 a new game?

[KristopherVector]

Considering that CS2 is supposed to drastically change CSGO, why is it not just a new game and instead an update? Feels weird. Like if CS 1.6 had updated into CSS, or if CSS had updated into CSGO... if anything, for those games it would've made sense if they were updates.

i would have made it a stand alone to be payed version of cs with skins ported over to it , existing side by side with cs go

players with poor hardware not able to run cs2 would have had the option to play cs go , instead of having to fall back to older versions of cs

Because all the Market items are tied to the 730 appID and making a new game would break the link between them, since a new game would be under a new appID.

It would destroy the CS:GO skin market and Valve would lose "Trust" from their own community for doing so.

All their marketable items are still on the 730 appID. There is a difference.

Thanks, I assumed transferring skins would be a possibility or something.

An update apparently so big they're changing the name and marketing of the game entirely seems like it would be drastic, maybe I'm wrong. I guess "Counter Strike: Global Offensive Source 2" didn't roll off the tongue enough.

I think if you want CS to be drastically different, you're playing the wrong game.

The entire series has just been overhauls of the exact same formula. LIke, CS:S was literally the same gameplay and maps just on a new engine. And CS:GO was just a refinement of that and I think they introduced "firebombs" to the formula.

CS2 follows this and introduced a whole new dynamic to HE and smokes but the maps will be higher quality than before. Along with whatever else they're adding, like better match making and whatnot.

Maybe we'll get a new mode too. Like how we got Danger Zone. Maybe they've been cooking up something else. I'm not sure an extraction shooter would fit here, or maybe they'll improve upon Danger Zone, as it is pretty popular still.

csgo is a console game , developed with steamdeck in mind, playing cs on the "go"?

same game just updated, core game mechanics still the same

It's like super people 2.. it's just a money grab name to get attention. They could have made a proper new game with innovation, but instead they just copy paste the same formula from 1999, slap a new name on it and look forward to cash in on little effort. I miss the days Valve was at the forefront of daring game design and innovation - imagine going from redoing Half-Life to get it right, into not even daring to actually make a new CounterStrike game.. They should bring back Gooseman and get it done :) I'm sure he had many ideas and wishes that simply wasn't possible 24 years ago..
