| Torillian said: I read something not too long ago on Gaf about how Japanese developers are able to make games for surprisingly cheap if you aren't going for amazing graphics on a technical level. With brute force programming they can make a PS2.5 game as they call it as cheap or cheaper than a PS2 game last gen. I didn't think about it before but perhaps this PhyreEngine is part of the reason they can do it so cheaply. |
If that's true then developing PS3 games can be cheaper than the Wii if they don't focus too much on OMG graphics. That would explain NIS and the other niche developers persistence on making PS3 games.
