Train wreck on 05 June 2014
No one is forcing these Japanese developers to follow their western counterparts with high budget, high production value games. I'm sure many could have easily created mid-tier games or have two tier (PS3/PS4) games that would work. If I was an exec at one of their companies, I would be more focused on filling in genres/ opportunity to expand than that of I have to spend a lot of money to get this game off the ground. I feel a company like Arc System Works will find success for guilty gear by filling a void (lack of fighting games on Next gen systems). Seems low risk high reward.
