| Garcian Smith said: I find it interesting how many good development teams - Factor 5, Free Radical, and now Silicon Knights - find themselves struggling with the HD consoles, to the point where they're forced to release unexciting, often buggy and unfinished games. Perhaps the argument that the world wasn't ready for the move to HD gaming actually holds some weight. |
Totally agree! Factor 5, Free Radical and Silicon Knights were one of the best smaller, independant developers around last-gen! When current-gen arrived, a lot of developers had to invest huge amounts of money into getting to know, and pumping out some games that would be fit for this generation. The smaller developers usually don't have these kind of resources in terms of money and it takes more time for them to get access to, and get to know all the new tools. And they too have to pay 100+ employees, so they are forced to push a game on the market sooner or later to keep the company (sort of) profitable. So this makes an eery situation for the smaller dev-teams that had a great track-record in the past and are all struggling right now to get their latest games on par with the games coming from the big 3rd-party companies!
