I could sit here and argue with you on this ... but I think it's very complicated and we don't really know, although my guess would be that you aren't right about your minimum of four years. I still agree with your basic premise that, games are taking longer to make to some extent. |
Well take into account kingdom hearts 3 announced in 2013. Supposedly coming this year. 5 years from announcing to release.
Death stranding: Announcement in 2016. Two years on and still no gameplay.
FFVII remake. Announce 2015. Still no release in sight nor new trailer since.
The last of us 2. Announced December 2016. Probably a 2019 game at this point. Which will make it release six years after the first one.
Crackdown 3. Announced 2014!. Still not out. 4 years! Since announced.
Yes, games are taking forever to make these days and only getting longer. Outside of your yearly sports games, there are very few devs left who can get more than one installment of a particular franchise out in a single gen now. The recent Tomb raider games comes to mind who has a third coming soon. So congrats to them.
