Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

Yes yes, everyone who disagrees is just a fanboy, and we'll all just pretend we don't know what you meant by No indie studio could recreate RDR2 unless they were an incredibly wealthy self made one like CD Projekt Red, but for BOTW? VERY doable on a strapped budget for indies. I really thought Nint...

Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

I think reading this thread has made me age another ten years. Speaking Nicholas to Nicholas. Just take a step back, dude, and take a breath. A difference of opinion isn't a personal insult. Sometimes, when you've taken that step back, you'll often realise your opinion may just have been wrong; esp...

Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

And Malk You still are very conveniently ignoring marketing budget which Nintendo spent an assload of money on for this specific game, this game was shoved in people's faces to make people understand they needed the hot new fancy hybrid console to play it. When it comes to games budget, it's common ...

Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

Beam NG is simply a vehicle simulator, it can be a crash simulator, rally simulator, drag simulator, track simulator, weave through track simulator, strap rockets to cars simulator, whatever you can think of can be done to cars and the tweaking and experimenting that comes with it. It is a small st...

Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

Here is an interesting interview with big game makers like the guys who did BioShock, FireWatch & The Walking Dead, Battleborn, etc talking about how much work must have gone into BotW. It is better than the content creators who are "objective in their videos" according to you but in reality ooze b...

Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

BeamNG. In terms of physics it is probably the most advanced game at the moment. It simulates the entire structural body of vehicles using soft body physics making it so that damage is quite nearly 1:1 to real life. Then it simulates engine temperature and damage, oil, tire temperature and tire wea...

Re: "Droughts" for big platforms is a stupid concept.

But I want a very nice theory on why BOTW could have managed to dwarfed Horizon Zero Dawn's 7 year development and 45 million cost. Leaving marketing budget out of it. I doubt Nintendo is paying a significantly better salary for employees than everyone else. And they abuse contractors so who knows ...

The return of arrogant Sony, and Microsoft's advantage

So a lot of people are getting flashbacks from early PS3 era arrogant Sony where they thought they were unstoppable and could do whatever they felt like with zero backlash. With Sony having one of the most expensive consoles EVER made in terms of what the sticker MSRP says after the price hike outsi...

Re: Predict the next Playstation game on PC

I was 5 percent right. The Last of US wasn't next then, but Part 1 "remake" is confirmed for PC a few announcements later so there's that. Everyone expects Returnal next now though. I wonder if Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart will ever come over, it requires an SSD as fast as the PS5's since the game w...
