So, Where Are All These AAA PS4 Exclusives, Sony?

Except Resogun is widely regarded to be a indie title....I have no idea how you could classify that as AAA. Killer Instinct is not a indie title.

AAA means budget... not quality, size but just the amount of money available to create the game.

I just put Resogun in the list because you put Killer Instinct.

This is the problem with threads like these.

There has been a lot of debate on these forums as too what AAA is - there is no consensus.  Buget alone gives us games like Knack and Lair - clearly horrendous examples.  Quality alone gives us games like Halo, the Last of Us and Resogun.  In the case of Halo and Last of Us we're getting revamped ports - many wouldn't consider these to be AAA in terms of their ability to generate sales or warrant a system purchase.  Then you have Resogun, a great game that clearly lacks for a AAA budget, ability to generate system sales etc, and is also held to a different standard to high-budget releases.

It just makes the whole idea of a thread like this fraught with difficulty.

Edit:  Then you have Sony promising one high-quality title (they don't use AAA terminology) each month with PS+, but they define that as greater than 70 Metacritic, whereas plenty of people feel the quality bar for a AAA-designation should be 90+.  So it really is all over the place.
