Sony wants it's Playstation Exclusives to Come to PC Earlier

[SNG]

First party or not, there are plenty of next gem games out that didn’t have a 300mil budget. So they are other ways to reign in costs.

There’s a reason why Sonys first party games are some of the best quality games in the industry and the budget is part of it. Those cinematic experiences come with a price.

Til this day theres nothing fukking with last of us 2’s production and that was like 220 million to make.

and what I'm saying is that there are other ways to pull that cost down. Be it hiring different voice actors, using existing engines, pseudo sequels (miles morales).

Game costs tend to go down the longer a console is out.

You can make the last of us or a whole movie with money to spare

That’s not true at all God of war 2018 was around 80 million to make where God of war Ragnorak was 200 million. Both these games were on PS4 sir.

Facts gaming is crazy. The wild part is I heared that Microsoft spent 500 million to make Halo Infinite.

And they were also developing it for the PS5…

Still that’s almost a 100 million for the PS5 version right there. That why they had to make cross gen. It would probably be more if it was a PS5 exclusive because they wouldn’t have to compromise in resources.

So now since they have created a PS5 version if they create another PS5 sequel it’ll more than likely cost less cause of experience, existing engine, etc.

Hence why I said game development is generally cheaper later in a consoles lifecycle

On development cost and maintenance of Tekken 8

So yeah Sony definitely wants improvements

God of War, Forbidden West and Spider Man 2 all use previous assets from previous games and yet still doubled the budgets on all these games.

I guarantee you Spider Man 3’s budget will be atleast on par to Spider Man 2 or more.

Yes, costs have gone up, but he's referring to a constantly updated online game. Single player games generally don't have to worry about that (outside of DLC which is going to generate more revenue at a much lower cost)

Yes, because they were being created for a new system/specs.

Yeah supporting games that require servers are just an added tax.


But even before then the price to develop high resolution games are astronomical

More than an added tax, he's goes into depth about continued support of an online game being costly.

If they were to make a Tekken 9 for current gen, development will not be as high because everything is pretty much already done engine wise.

 

[SNG]

Yes, because they were being created for a new system/specs.

Not even just that more characters and actors are introduced to these games. More Mocap stunts. More designers for new characters.
