No, but it means that he wants to use lots of high quality assets. Believe it or not, some game creators love creating incredibly detailed worlds, with incredible texures, models, orchestrated music, etc. |
In the arms race of videogames, production value is what the indusrtry thinks makes a difference. The belief is not that you do something new, but you do something at a higher production value, and more people will buy it. If you go the innovator's route, you usually can get off a lot cheaper (read Portal here), but then companies have a hard time justifying anything. So, the idea is to do a $100 million GTA4, because it is a lock to sell a TON, the belief goes.
