I'm pretty sure there's a lot of good talent in Central and South America, Africa and Asia (India is often said to have great software developers).
So, since developing costs are becoming unsustainable to some publishers, could they educate and create development studios in underdeveloped countries in order to reduce the costs?
There's no such thing as a third world, they're called developing nations. So would this would this be like a sweatshop? They would be sacrificing quality, so I don't think it would happen.
Videogame sweat shops? Sweet idea. Let's just put it next to the Nike factory.
I'm fairly sure a decent amount of projects Conspiracy, UFO and Destineer pick up are foreign projects, but I can't be sure since they usually just buy the project out and don't credit the original team with making it.

I'm sorry, but this is quite possibly the worst idea I have ever heard of.
Stop getting so excited about a Kid Icarus remake... the original NES Icarus sucked.
From what I've read, it's something of a fool's gold idea. It looks attractive on paper, but there are large communication and quality issues that often ultimately lead to costs being about the same as keeping things local.
Of course, it's quite possible (likely?) that said reports had their own biases, so grab your grain of salt.

There's a game made by a 'third world' country, Pakistan. It looks good to me, better than the ones i've seen before at least :D

Third world is an obsolete expression, but Ubisoft bought a company in Brazil to develop casual games, I'm not sure but I think this is one of their games http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=25966®ion=All
But war... war never changes
yes, they could do that. but i dont see it as being that good of a idea
Bad idea even if those countries have the talent they just don't have the infrastructure and technology to develop games on the cheap. Also the talent in those countries is not quiet on par with the talent in developed nations and to bring it up to level would cost even more then the savings on labor. As far as I know no developing countries have schools that are known for turning out top notch game developers.
