Maybe they could fix this glitches with a little more funding... I'm not saying more games need bigger budgets. I just don't understand how some people are implying a smaller budget means a better game. |
Either statement is an oversimplification. What kills a lot of big budget games and why it LOOKS like smaller budgets within reason fair better is because a lot of AAA - and I mean A LOT of AAA - companies are horribly inefficient, commiting many classic management errors that are guaranteed to make projects cost more, potentially take longer, and usually suffer in quality. So most massive budgets happen to come from this problem rather than actual costs of game development. Nintendo is just a very efficient company fiscally and creatively. No they don't ding out a game for each franchise every year but their development cost to end product quality is among the best there is because the way they run things is quite good.
