No, the problem is that 99% of the people on this forum have never developed a game, and are offering solutions about something they know nothing about (myself included, speculation is great, isn’t it?)

Like I’ve been saying, games are becoming overinflated. The more powerful the hardware, the longer development cycles are going to take. How long can it sustain itself, under it’s current growth patterns? Gaming is going to tank, which is probably why big companies like Konami pulled out of big AAA game development.…
I’m not terribly inclined or interested, but thanks for the offer. The bigger games get, the less interested I become in them and I seek more humble experiences the likes my SNES has to offer. The PS4 is the first system I’m regretting actually purchasing, because while everything is so graphically intensive, I’ve…
Google a couple screenshots, mate. Stop wasting my time, please.
Witcher 3 is another great example of a next gen looking game, but here’s the problem with your argument: you are stating it as fact and trying to argue it as such. Can’t we just agree that our opinions differ, and move on?
The bigger video games become and the more powerful hardware becomes, video game development needs to grow with the hardware.
You aren’t looking!
Because people like you just cry “racism, racism!” and bring forth no arguments. Everytime you argue with someone like you, when you bring something to the table and try to discuss, they shy away because the only thing they can say is “racist! racist!”
It's because games are too large and ambitious for the dev teams. And because the more powerful the hardware, the longer it takes to develop.
No, they want it to come out after the Pro, to push sales of the new hardware that nobody in their right mind even needs.
No.
Palm your head.
It takes a long time to make something very refined, and good. You can’t make a game like The Last Guardian in 3 years.
You need to stop listening to news media. It’s clouding your vision.
But it’s neither logical nor reasonable. With his logic, every modern video game should be bad, if it’s only about the number of people working on it.
You are not cynical at all for think of the Pro release. I would say it’s probably dead on, in fact.
Lol, too many cooks is a poor analogy. The main thing that burdens development is the graphical output. It’s obvious because all you have to do is simply look at what’s there. What’s bigger? The graphical assets, or the code?
True for the current situation, false if they had hired more people from the beginning. 300 people or so worked on skyrim. I think 600 would have been fine. When you have more hands on deck, you have the ability to crunch out more stuff. Look at how many people are involved with certain movies. Often times in big…
I'll say it: the comparison was not clever, as it compares two development processes that are completely different from one another and have absolutely no relationship to each other.
That’s cute, but a larger development team can actually get more work done, especially with the graphical side of things. The level of graphics the put out in this game are stellar, and must have taken thousands of man hours to accomplish. This is the first game that actually looks next gen, so a bigger team would be…
