Remember when games could be made in less than a year for $200,000? Or in two or three years for $20,000,000? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yep, even in the PS3/360 days we got whole trilogies in the one generation like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Uncharted, etc.

That gen we got 4 games each from Rockstar and Naughty Dog, now it's the 6th year of the current gen and neither have released a new game yet.
