What's the budget for Heavy Rain? It did not feel Big Budget to me, it felt no different then Alan Wake (which had a longer development cycle, and I souldn't be surprised if it had higher development costs). The game was very short, buggy, and most of the game was a real time event (which isn't hard to make).
Halo is short, but deep. Online is extensively fleshed out and Halo 4 pushes the 360 beyond what I thought 360 was capable of.
It's not pointing out facts, in your list of Big Budget games you included Resistance....Why not include PGR for 360 then? LOL Seriously, from what I know the only big budget games for HD consoles this gen are 3 Halo's, 3 Gears (Not Judgement), 3 Forza's (Not Horizon), GT5, Killzone 2, GoY3/Asc, and Uncharted 2 & 3. I personally didn't get the feel anything else was big budget.
Now maybe a game like White Knight Chronicles turns out to have cost a lot to develop. I didn't get that impression playing the game. I also changed my post to Big Budget Blockbuster titles. Halo/Gears/Forza/GT/Uncharted/GoW/Killzone 2 are genre defining. Game features introduced/Brought to light in the Gears of War series have been immitated by countless games (Cover, Hoard, Online Medals, etc). These games are also known about by the casual audience.
If I talked to my girlfriend about Heavy Rain, she wouldn't know what the heck I was talking about. However mention Uncharted, Halo, Forza, she knows what I'm talking about.
Anyway....F***, this isn't a debate, this thread isn't for people to stand up for their favorite consoles and attempt to omit them of any faults, this is all opinion. Geez.
Updated to here, please vote on Nintendo/Microsoft Threads to show me that people actually play games other then those on PS3.

just because you FEEL a game isnt big budget doesnt mean it ISNT. also popularity and sales dont have nothing to do with big budgets, max payne 3 is an example.
its not standing up for a console, its just correcting something that is wrong. and i didnt state that halo4 wasnt big budget, i used an example to state that the length of the game does not indicate if the game is big budget or not. and this isnt a debate about what gears has influenced thats an entirely different thing.
and fyi insomniac has been in the indusrty for over 18 years. they created huge games like spyro. they been partners with sony for 15 years. if you think sony didnt grant them big budgets to a series that sold over 7 million then your dead wrong
also if you want to stop this debate then stop pointing out that your emotions and opinions as facts and stop claiming that facts are my opinions and that i say them to "omit my favorite console from any fault"
