Of course they don't need to be expensive. They only have to meet the standards hardware manufacturers have set. You had one fail in your post, you were comparing a low-budget HD game and high-budget Wii game. It's no wonder you don't understand why people are calling HD game development expensive. |
with things like PS Store and XBLA it's clear just making a good game it's enough to meet those standards, i assure you those Low budget HD game look better than high budget Wii game.
Little Big planet was done by a team not more than 35 people, and its one of most beautiful games on the console.. and better looking than all the wii games.
or Valkyria chroncles which is now the SRPG to beat this gen, they didn't have to spend time pushing a hard ceiling saving time and money.
