You also do know that not all AAA is the same size or budget and also it is attached to expected revenue. So saying R* is slow to release games because the only AAA game they released this gen was RDR2 would be quite unfair. Sure SE isn't that profilic when compared to past gens but I wouldn't say they releasing 1 title per team on gen 9 is something crazy. Even 2 titles would be feasible depending on the size and if they share same engine.

Don’t even get me started on Rockstar. Their output this gen has been truly abysmal, they make Square’s AAA output look great by comparison. 7 year gen and all we got from R* is a GTA 5 port and RDR2, even though they have 2,000+ devs across 8 studios. GTA Online's success is mostly to blame there though, the fact that it rakes in money lead them to put a lot of their devs to work on new GTA online content, with the rest working on RDR2. Sadly I don’t look for Rockstar’s output next gen to improve. The main focus for them will be on getting GTA 6 out and then supporting it’s online mode heavily, while continuing to neglect their other IP’s like Bully, Midnight Club, LA Noire, and Max Payne. As a big fan of Bully and LA Noire, it saddens me greatly.

I agree that we should get at least 1 AAA per JP team from Square next gen, possibly even 3 from Nomura’s division (FF7R part 2 & 3 and KH4). Rather or not the other 4 divisions and Luminous Productions can pull off more than 1 AAA this gen remains to be seen. I hope the other teams can pull off more than 1, especially divisions 2 & 3 and Luminous, because I love Nier and FF (not a big DQ or Mana fan personally).

Didn't know the studio count of R* but yes to have all those dormant to just put additional content on GTAV doesn't please me even if I don't care much for their IPs.

I would like a Warrior remake though, I have no idea why but I didn't like Bully when I played it on PS2. LA Noire never tried, don't remember a thing about Max Payne and didn't play much Midgnight Club for arcade racing I was always more on NFS but my love is on sim so GT got most of my time.

But if you looked at the credits for RDR2 I think it had over 1000 people named.

EDIT - actually 3000 https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/23/18013928/red-dead-redemption-2-rockstar-games-public-letter
