That's the first I hear of AAAA... and GTA would then be AAAAA for you? You define bloated budget just because it's big or unnecessarily large? |
AAA is a game that was traditionally maxed out at $60m with marketing included to me. Anything aiming for $100m development only, or alternatively something with a team size of over 250, is deserving of its own category so that we don't skew what was traditionally AAA. Especially since Intrinsic then said Persona 5 was AAA despite being a low budget developer, and threw it in with something like CoD.
A and AA have traditionally been lower budget titles that are now being absorbed by indie budgets. The Witness is right around A/AA's boundary.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
