AAA according to people on this very site (some who are in this very thread) and definition is not graphics, content or quality it's purely a high mainstream and high budget which those games don't fall under, they're AA titles which is what I touched upon earlier and also what the person you responded to is highlighting. AAA releases are diminishing but it's not as much of an issue as AA titles are matching them blow for blow as far as the product goes. If you're going to go by content, quality etc... then that means a whole host of Switch games as well are AAA. |
How do you know how big budgets those games have? Just Cause 4 for example most likely has about as big budget as most other AAA games. It's atleast much closer to AAA than AA. And money that is spent on developing a game (not marketing) improves its quality and content.
Name those AA games that have been released this year that match these this year's AAA games quality-wise:
Monster Hunter World, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Detroit Become Human, Vampyr, Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 4 (and these are only the ones that I have bought).
Those are all good/great games, so how are AAA games diminishing?
