& those remakes were extremely good & took beloved games & made them better in every way

That's what Colin Moriarty always says as well, he genuinely believes that AAA games should be $100I feel like Sony and Microsoft are the only companies that can make $200 Million+ dollar games and it be a financially sound decision. Even successful companies like Rockstar will always be hesitant to take that risk. 1 bad game can set you back or bankrupt your studio
Honest question: does Microsoft even make $200 million dollar games? I mean in a way where it's visibly obvious?
I've heard Starfield costed a lot of money, same with Halo Infinite. But both have very little to show for such budgets, and not just visually. Microsoft also seem more keen on shifting towards compartmentalizing their AAA into heavy GaaS models or, in the cases that can't work, scale down to AA-sized games (something between low AA to mid AA with a couple high-budget AA games here and there).
And we know games like Halo Infinite failed to reach revenue targets set forth by Microsoft, too.
c'mon bro. we all know MS is incompetent at game development and management
Simple solution: stop releasing on PC and GP which devalue games and stick to the walled gardens.
Renaming a game like re4 which to alot of people is one of the greatest games of all time is certainly not a safe bet they could've easily ruined it
Halo infinite was the most expensive game ever to develop & it was dogshit
thats literally the definition of a safe bet.
Pragmata is a new IP and is in Dev Hell
No, I'm just speaking hypothetically. They should be making top quality games instead of buying publishers though, but clearly they're not capable.
I agree, Halo Infinite and Starfield don't look good at all for how expensive they're supposed to be. But Microsoft also cheaps out on payroll and only hires people on short term contracts, (without benefits) which is probably why their games look like crap. They'll spend billions on publishers but refuse to properly compensate devs and provide benefits. Shortly after Zenimax acquisition, about 300 of their employees were laid off.
Just because the original is loved doesn't make remaking it a safe bet they could've easily fucked it up & pissed off all the fans but they didn't
again. you keep ignoring pragmata.
They used R4 as a template. (the hard work was already done and figured out).
pragmata is more of a financial risk than R4 remake.
Paying customers > engagement or eyeballs or whatever other metric is used
that is what i am saying. not enough people pay for games.
why do you think the AAA industry is sustained by GaaS?
Which is entirely Microsofts fault since they own windows & want to make gamepass the only service available
What increases development costs other than inflation?
Games nowadays are stuck in 2015. Nothing new in size and scope. Even graphics are almost the same.
