All right, I don't know that answer. But for those of you who are complaining about the PS3 sticker shock, consider how much it must cost a studio to make a game for the PS3 with the new architecture design and the huge expectation of (graphical?) quality driven by Sony's E3 showings. According to I4U News, that cost is too much for one developer, and they've bailed on their PS3 game.
Which of course brings us to the rising cost of games. Not only are their development budgets rivaling (sometimes wastefully) Hollywood movies, but costs have already been pushed down onto the players with the Xbox 360's $60 a title policy. If the PS3 actually delivers on its hype, and AAA developers start delivering blockbuster games for it, can smaller, less well funded studios survive? And how much is that PS3 really going to cost your wallet in the end? Come share your thoughts on our forums here. |
