@lordtheknight but the FFs before that usually put some focus on tech and they turn out alright. Uncharted 2 is a game that focuses on tech and is good


Did I write "often", or "all"?

And the money that comes with focusing on tech will get in the way profits. Uncharted isn't exactly a top tier franchise, so even though it made money, it's not exactly setting the gaming world on fire as much as reviewers pretend it is.

I realise that is your opinion and respect it, but next time you may want to write it like it is your opinion as opposed to stating it as if it were fact.  Of course, I do think that most of the 4 1/2 million people who bought Uncharted 2 would disagree with you.


No, it was merely misinformed. I hadn't checked the sales in a while.

Uncharted still isn't top tier, but is still a higher tier than I thought. I still say it didn't need to cost as much, same as loads of games, although it's not anywhere near as bad as the budgets of other games, especially those that weren't proven properties.

Besides, my point still stands. I did not write that there are no exceptions, so neither Uncharted game is a counter, as I'm addressing games where tech focus got in the way. Companies like Naughty Dog and Insomniac kept their heads about it.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
