There are always hard restrictions whether your project is funded by someone else or not. Maybe they would have taken their time and made a better, more complete game without the Sony funding, maybe not. Though, if they had funding, and still put out a bare bones, free to play inspired DLC experiment, I have a hard time believing it would have been much if any better without the funding. Financially it would have been better for them, they'd have three fanbases to sell the game and more importantly DLC to instead of two. Microsoft found enough support for Killer Instinct to make three seasons. Street Fighter would have done well. |
Well I was speaking more generally as a whole, of course any argument based on estimates is faliable, because they're just estimates. It just seems like restrictions really do make better art a lot of the time. I think without funding from Sony, it would have at least taken more time to develop, which wouldn't necessarily result in a better product, but could give the game time to air out. Plus it would release on multiple platforms. As true as it is that in an alternate dimension it still sucked with more restrictions, it could be the opposite way around as well.
