Well idk what about props in 7dtd situation but often npc are taken from diffrent games - alma from F.e.a.r i saw harley quin from batman arham city. I don't have problem with that if this is done good - alma as zombie kid looks ok - it's looks like vanilia model but harley so much like much diffrent game. Well - if you take skyrim immersive creature as example - modife psedogigant from stalker looks good. Just only - inconsistent choice of models in many 7DTD mods hurts a lot. If this will change after workshop? probably. But.... this depend how much this will take. To be honest : if anyone want advice if something would suit i'm read to help
And... many don't exist and ... because don't exist i can't show you them as example. But - is there any similiar game to CoD? To be honest - no. Medal of honor tried but failed. Battalion 44 failed too... If you compare with diffrent FPS -let hell loose could be competitor to.. Arma not CoD.
Witcher and AC valhhala are similiar games. Lies of P is similiar to dark souls or nioh. But such games are pretty safe... same base just diffrernt setting and bigger focus on diffrent things - it's much easier to create small and pretty empty locations that RWG with good quality POI. But it's pretty safe. Autor of Mistborn books wanted to give CDP for free rights to create game basic on his IP and... ofc no chance because create such movement and combat system would be to risky for AAA game. SNK have something like that but.. doesn't sell as good as much safer games. Sony risked with Days gone - still much safer that 7dtd like game but sold not good enough for sony.
Ofc this don't have to be big game - little nightmares is example how to make good platformer with lower budget but.... limbo is similiar and sold good so this was much less risky thing and pretty simple - there is few indie similiar game to little nightmares because not such hard to make.
Another thing is... merch - you know about COD mugs, figures, t-shirts even brick? Horizon will have tshow and have lego sets. MC is pretty family friendly - so you can sell toys shirts etc. Ofc 7dtd have this but it's just small addition not big source of income.
Only big but risky game like 7dtd is.... COH3. But will be coh3 good game? hard to say - they delyed released by 4 months. Fun fuct - polish company called Cobi is makling bricks sets as coh3 sets - here is better situation - why? because even if coh3 will be bad game - sets will sell good because... Cobi making a lot of ww2 sets so this would not change a lot. Most companies won't risk soo much - 7dtd is specific game like Medieval dynasty. Ofc they could try but... even if game get good opinions of players - didn't sold good enough to be consider as realistic success - because it this same time there could be done more generic but less costly game - Red faction series as example or spec ops the line
That's why we have so many battle royal - low risk to make - just more complicated DM on big maps. While RTS market is pretty dead - there is a lot of things to have chance to get finansal success
I hope TFP wiill do idk - medieval 7dtd, japan 7dtd itd because nobody will risk with something like this. That's why this is just sad because.... only hope is that TFP want to make such games. But until they will publish news about their new game it will take 2-3 years and it's not guarranted if they don't want to do dunno PVP like rust or Coop game with ghost instead something similiar.
