Forums - Gaming - Are we seeing the return of AA games??

Robert_Downey_Jr. on 24 December 2016

Seems Sony had been pushing this near the end of the PS3 with Sly 4 releasing for $40, Ratchet Nexus for $30, and Puppeteer for $40. Then they of course released the newest Ratchet for $40

'AA' games never really died out but there definitely seems to be a resurgence of these games, yes

i just want good games.

A game like Professor Layton probably costs...what, 10 million at most to make(don't see it even reaching that much). On the other hand, Destiny costed $500 million to make, and yet I'd still pick Professor Layton over destiny any day.


Content matters most, not budget. In my opinion though, most games tend to bring better use out of their budget when every dollar matters

Is that true? That is shocking even if it included all the expansions and sequels considering the game was average at best.

TL;DR Destiny had a lot of money and investment put into it. there was also a crazy amount of marketing put in it as well

It was all the sequels, expansions, and advertising for the whole project.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
