Hell companies like Konami have pretty much abandoned consoles for mobile because the games don't have to cost 50 million to make and we are seein developers leaving AAA studios more often now. Maybe HD did kill gaming.... |
The Witcher 3 reportedly had a budget of about 15 million dollars; cost is not the issue, ambition and heavy focus on production value is.
I think middleware and outsourced engines will become even more common in the coming years, it is a great cost decreasing measure.
