that's BS even today most PC gaming rigs have those specs already..... and like i've said plenty of times.... instead of doing full games especially for small production.... they can go with serialisation... with dlc content.... subscriptions etc.... do kind of a Manga format for games....... that and the vg industry is one if not the most profitable entertainement industry... so if you are confident you have a good product.... you shouldn't be worried by dev cost.... |
They should do more episodic content and the like but either these usually fall into two catagories either:
1) The first is well recieved and then there is high expectations for the next one and when the second is like the first people complain. (Sonic 4)
2)The first episode comes out and not wanting a samey experience the next episode is stuck in development hell. (Half-Life 2 episode 2/3)
Thing is episode content whoud save a lot of money but the end users have to be ready for it, and the developers have to be ready for complaints that it is the same experiece. I think the genre that will do the best with this is RPG's. Related to episodic content DLC content can help but that is also a very polarizing issue amoung end users.
