<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1780">29:40</a> No, Asmongold, the only reason why the cost of video games is going up, so called, is because they're spending ridiculous amounts of money on useless investments in game development, such as extreme photorealism and mocap animations, which is a waste of money and investment. They're focusing more money on extreme photorealistic graphical realism and shadowing, rather than game design, writing, gameplay, art style, innovation, and all of that. That's why everything's so expensive. Why do you think indie games are so good now in comparison?

Ha! Well... Sniper Elite? GTA games? One persons propaganda is a others grate punching bag in fiction. Used to promote a political cause or point of view. And more often then not, fabricated to that end. Truth or Lies be disregarded. The message. Power control. It is not enough to remove propaganda. You would still have hurt feelings and awful games being made. And overpriced, gamble, micro-transaction crap. As a example. No blood from combat. Is that because the dev's can not make blood effects? It is not really part of any propaganda. Awful and 3 year old gameplay difficulty? Reviewer difficulty settings? AI enemies that can not even begin to make a fun game? That is not propaganda. Can polish a turd and make a complete and perfect turd of a game. No propaganda. It would still be a polished turd of a game.

There's a direct correlation between identity politics and bad games. When Identity politics are in the game it means the devs are activists and not gamers. They tend to spend way more time making sure they communicate the message than they do making sure the game is actually good. Strictly because the message is the more important thing for them.

There are plenty of terrible, half bakes indies but most of them never make news. They die quietly and never make money. The ones we know of are true passion projects with good developers with vision. The reason AAA has problems it does is due to budget and size. When that much money is put into something people expect results, so when the expected results are delivered it is decent and when it is not it is very bad.

Over hiring was definitely a problem. Especially when your gaming company has more HR, marketing, and management, then the development team. How does a company fire 1500 people and still make games? Because they hired to many people. Then cut quality, now people are out of work and games suck because of greed.

Steve Jobs was a dick but he summarized this well with the 'bozo effect'; 2 things happen: 1. As IP becomes established, companies rely more on the marketing of that IP, and marketing/sales begins to run the company (as opposed to the engineers who built the original IP). Good engineers leave as they become dissatisfied with how they are viewed. 2. Bad managers/executives hire people _worse_ than them, so that nobody sees what a bozo they are; once you get a bozo Director, it's over; multiple organizations can now no longer change because that director represents the 'skill-cap' of their org. Inevitably, all decisions will go through them, they'll become overloaded, and the org. stagnates.

Meh, even if it is true or not, you can’t deny that “AAA” gaming quality has _drastically_ decreased over the years. Prioritizing profit margins through season passes and garbage microtransactions. There are very few “AAA” games I am hyped for anymore, but we are seeing it now, a select few a big name devs/publishers, and a large number of indie/AA devs are crushing it right now.

They stopped making updates for it because Activision corrupted Blizzard thought that the game's E-Sports wasn't as big as LoL so it was basically a loss of revenue. There are alot of people going around, saying "HotS is a dead game, don't bother playing it." and yet there are so many players playing the game that on EU server, it takes me 25-35 seconds to find an ARAM game at 5 AM in the morning.

36 here, I've also seen the ebb and flow. The East has always put out a large quantity of good games, it's just that people don't pay much attention to them when the West is in a golden age of gaming. As a lifelong JRPG enjoyer, I never felt the 'PS3 has no games' rhetoric because a ton of great JRPGs were made for it, but the Xbox 360 had a good library of Western games so it cornered the market here. I think this is the biggest collapse for Western AAA gaming companies ever though, due to the sheer amount of money involved and the high publicity for the major failures. Gamers are finally starting to vote with their wallets, and it will be the studios that stand tall amongst the rubble of those that fell that become the new templates for game design philosophy. Then we'll be good for another decade or so until the same thing happens again.

"These are all Western studio problems" - Wrong, Japan has had an extraordinary amount of flops, it's simply that there's a survivorship bias in player recollection. Babylon's Fall was a massive stinker that got flushed early, Balan Wonderworld was a massive flop, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers flopped, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising flopped, and Loop8: Summer of Gods flopped. Japan has plenty of flops, they're simply over-shadowed by the mega-successes from Capcom and Nintendo.

The budgets should increase with the skill of the dev teams and the bigger the budget gets the more they need to be careful about who they hire.

Maybe if developers took Nintendo‘s approach to video games instead of only focusing on power going to there systems; it’s unbelievable how Nintendo is blowing every other studio out of the water with AAA video games and no micro transactions in any of there first party games. Those Companies and developers should really stop just straight up chasing power master 4K instead of focusing on power

Smaller studios on lower budgets proved that the quality can still be incredible. Wukong didn't cost that much to make in comparison to AAA titles and it was better than them all this year. $70 million is nothing in comparison to most big titles. Astro Bot was something similar.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a> the problem is not corporate. It's the teams. As someone working in a project based environment with a very similar structure, though admittedly outside of gamedev, corporate only gets triggered to hire when they recieve the signals. Usually this means the team is complaining about workload, nobody has the knowledge to solve certain issues, or there is a gap in the team. Corporate doesn't just go around hiring more on their own. This goes hand in hand with the issues we have heard about padding estimates. If a 1 day task suddenly requires 2 weeks, then it's pretty easy to see how that same team will start saying they need more people. This is how I ended up at my current job. The team continued to complain that they needed a new person but nobody can explain why I never have 40 hours of work in a week.

idiots pushing for unreal engine 5 is why so many games are so dumbed down and run like shit , the engine is not just made for visuals , the gameplay capabilities depend on how the engine is made , the more you innovate and stretch the engine the worse it performs if they innovate too much the engine sucks in performance because it was made for straight visual performance , imagine in path of exile 2 was made in fucking unity or unreal engine 5 lmao it would have to be mega simplified for your CPU to not explode , Games like factorio would never have close to their performance using any other engine in the market

So we should support crappy indie games just because they love making games. No thanks. Almost every indie game is incredibly short, no depth and crappy graphics. No thanks. I grew up in the nes era and I’m not going back to playing zork.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="888">14:48</a> As somebody who keeps an eye on life-sim and "cozy" themed indie games, I can definitely say a healthy preponderance of these games made since 2020 do use the pronoun or body type A/B model to one degree or another. Some are more obnoxious about it, and some just quietly phase out "male" and "female" as words or symbols, replacing them with visually masculine or feminine characters (the more obnoxious ones being giving you only androgynous choices). So it's not just AAA.

The fact that they depend a lot on GPU technology like DLSS, FSR, and Frame Generation, makes these companies skimp on optimizing their games. AAAs nowadays are prominent in this.

The real reason triple A is dying Is because triple A is where new blood Devs go to get a job. The churn through rate at AAA studios is undeniably higher than other places which makes their games usually being worked on by majority new Devs. Which wouldn't be a problem if like 99% of the Devs who knew what they were doing in the respective studios hadn't already left. Leaving the new Devs with 0 guidance on how to make a "Bethesda" game or a "dragon age" game etc. Companies like CDPR are swapping to uE5 purely because most of their Devs left after cyberpunk and their replacements don't know how to use their in-house engine and it's too expensive to train them to use it.
