Forums - Gaming - Former SCEEE CEO: We need $100 games

alfredofroylan on 31 July 2009

In the middle of Recession and bad economics Chris Deering gave his opinions about AAA titles and the price tag for them. According to him those games need to cost 70 Pounds to help the industry.

Note: Interview in Spanish

Antes de que pueda haber tantos juegos exitosos (blockbuster) como lo había en el pasado, los títulos necesitan ser producidos de una manera más eficiente.

Para valuar estos juegos a un nivel en donde pudieran ayudar a la industria [tal y como lo hicieron] hace diez años, necesitan ser vendidos a £70. Pero, simplemente, la gente no tiene esa cantidad de dinero, hay un tipo de vidrio piscológico por techo.

Basically he's saying that the development cost is 10 times bigger than a PS2 game and 50 times bigger than a PS1. 70 Pounds is almost 100 bucks, so of course people is not going to pay so much for that.

It's just his opinion. Of course isn't going to happen, it'll kill the industry.
