"THQ stated that a big budget next gen game would cost around 100$ at retail they said it would cost almost double to develop over the current generation."

This is why the graphics race has to stop. They aren't making the games better (the good games are due to talent, not waving their specs around), and the sales have NOT risen this generation to match the increased cost over last generation.


Graphics should not affect development ability or cost. Its the hardware itself. The 360 uses simple tech compared to the PS3, which is why PS3 games still cost more to develop for and its cheaper to make the PS3 game the main platform and port over to the 360 versus the otherway around. Creation of higher quality textures and graphics might take a fraction longer, but the cost of making textures in Photoshop is the exact same no matter if your making an SNES game or a PlayStation 9 game.


LOL WUT. Do you know anything about programming and developing at all!?
