Yeah it's definitely not a AAA game in terms of budget, and one could almost say it reaches too far and stretches its resources a bit thin, but I have to admire the sheer balls they had, trying to make a game of this scope and complexity on low end hardware with a mid-tier budget. |
Oh absolutely, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. The fact Monolith Soft achieved as much as they did, with such a steady technical performance, with tough limits to their budget, manpower and the technology they were working with, is incredible. Like Chronicles with the Wii, X pushes the host hardware to its limits and Monolith Soft deserve a lot of praise for that. The performance is far smoother than open world games on comparable systems. X feels like the product of another age, when your ambition didn't need to be limited by whatever your potential sales were.
