| Chark said: No doubt more expensive but I think its being blown out of proportion. There was some ubisoft data that said a 10% cost increase which is tiny compared to the last jump. Quadrupled effort for production doesn't mean for cost or for the entire cost at least. It sounds more like he is referring to a segment of the development process. Maybe its harder, costing more in certain areas but the ease of development cuts costs too. In the end more expensive but not quadruple, that's just out of context. |
It's hard to think of another context when he said that the Production effort has quadrupled, that seems pretty all-around effort the way I read it:
"It's also a lot more demanding, because the production effort needed just to make a next-gen title now is not doubled; It's quadrupled."
Also, Ubisoft =/= Guerilla games. There may be differences in how they produced games in gen 7 and how they are producing them now.
