Teams should be smaller, and generally in the same area. AAA developers are spending way too much making games, when they can't afford it. CD Projekt red was able to make The Witcher 3 for like 1/5 the cost of GTA 5, and it was a great game and sold extremely well!

 

GTA5 also had a ridiculous advertising budget AFAIK, but that's beside the point. CDPR proved it was possible indeed. Now what do you think CDPR did correctly that Ubisoft has failed to accomplish?

Well I didn't look much into it, but they were an efficent team, and I think most of the development was done in Warsaw itself. Also, game development was 3 years instead of 5 for GTA 5 (it shouldn't take that long), and the team was less than 1/2 the size.





Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
