I disagree. Graphics in the past were limited by the hardware, not the artists' ability (see Watch_Dogs' infamous vertical slice).
It's poor management of resources combined with a lack of a cohesive vision for the final project.
BioShock reportedly cost $25 million to develop in 2007 ($38 million in 2024). Gears of War? $12 million in 2005 ($18 million in 2024). Want something more recent? Horizon: Zero Dawn came out in 2016 at a cost of around $49 million (about $74 million in 2024 money).
These are some of the most influential and critically acclaimed AAA titles of this centur...
They achieved perfection with the first one, then EA did what EA does best and screwed it all up.
Too little, too late.
REEEEEEEEEE!! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Sue them for what, exactly?

Another one bites the dust.
Spider-Man 2 cost $300 million to make:

You know who's NOT cutting jobs? Nintendo.
Sex sells. Always has.
I don’t get it. Played the trial, deleted after 20 minutes. Not my cup of tea.
Pointless.
Gonna laugh at all the peasant rage when it still won’t play games at 4K 60…
No, Nintendo won. They actually make a profit on every unit sold, whereas Sony and Microsoft lose money on each box they sell. Additionally, their attach rates are absolutely pathetic compared to Nintendo's IPs.
$300 million budgets (Spider-Man 2) are INSANE. And unsustainable.
If the PlayStation brand were healthy financially, Sony wouldn't be releasing their older exclusives on PC for a bit of extra coin. Short-term rewards at the expense of lon...
It's almost like SOFTWARE moves HARDWARE. Nintendo gets this. Sony used to. AND (believe it or not), until about 2011, Microsoft did, too.
This console generation has sucked absolute balls, which is a shame because both Series X and PS5 are excellent consoles, hardware-wise.
Gaming is headed the way of the movie industry, sadly. Releasing only bloated, big-budget "AAAA" and GAAS titles that require 5-year development cycles is simply not sus...
WOOT WOOT!
Good luck? Good RIDDANCE!
BINGO.
Fortunately, all it takes these days for a studio to fail is one flop.
The sooner the better I say.
And I laugh at people who don't release that Day 1 patches are just a. form of backdoor DRM for their discs lol.
Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.
