If they budget right and the game sells decently, they make a ton, if it sells amazingly, they make a crap ton. With Season passes, DLC and microtransactions it just a very very thick layer of icing on a huge crap ton cake.
Don't let these developers fool you, they wouldn't continue making games and sequels if there wasn't a big enough profit margin. Dev's love play possum and act like "OMG there's no money in making games", and how many of you a...
Yeah Silicon Knights (Eternal Darkness) did a good job with that one.
Wrong sir. Vanillaware are the ones making Odon Sphere, Muramasa, and Dragons Crown. So don't worry, they would just need to find another publisher.
Its ok Game Informer, its been so long since you've actually had credibility that no one even listens to you anymore.
Ace Combat Skies of Deception is my JAM! I certainly do hope they go back to their roots!
The engine block on that car is the BEST!
Masahiro Sakurai, take a break seriously, finishing the game by deadline isn't worth sacrificing your health for.
A real "class-act", aren't you? It's sad to see people like yourself on the internet with nothing to do but insult others.
"Microsoft: 'We Feel Really Good About What Xbox One Is'"
And therein lies the problem from the start. The console is supposed to please your market/consumer/fans feel good, not necessarily you. Had you put your customers first you wouldn't be in this predicament.
Cosplay...is that really the best you could do at giving back productively to society?
Regardless of what EA, DICE, and myself think, the fact is that both games offer different experiences and at the end of the day people know what they like.
It's apples and oranges, plain and simple.
You really should NOT use that rising son emblem/logo/sign, it's the equivalent of the Nazi symbol for Japan. Take a moment and do some research on it if you don't believe me.
David Jaffe on Microsoft's Xbox One DRM reversal:
''What's not to love''
How about violated trust? Trust being paramount in ANY type of relationship, I would say the thing not to love Mr. Jaffe is that Microsoft has shown it's true colors and no amount of policy reversal or backpedaling is going to mend that.
Cliffy B...wow just wow.
So the only "financially viable way to create AAA games" is to cut out the sale of used copies of those games?
What a huge LIE and a load of CRAP.
"Cliffy B, King Dude-Bro and spokesperson for everything that is wrong with the games industry".
Seriously though I thought you were leaving gaming, just leave and don't ever come back.
"Cliffy B: Sony forced Microsoft's hand, not the internet whining"
Wrong, AGAIN, Little Cliffy B.
Gamers spoke loud and clear with their wallets/purses/dollars, the preorder numbers don't lie, and that's what prompted M$ about face to save financial face.
I thought you new that being M$'s unofficial spokesman and all around sellout.
"The Xbox One Just Got Way Worse, And It's Our Fault"
Sounds like something either a greedy developer or a M$ shill would say. Regardless though M$ has already shown who they really are and who they really care about and its not the consumer.
A person with any sort of intelligence and self-respect will still pass on the Xbone. How can anyone trust this company anymore?
Hey Suda 51, is it also only a matter of time before your games don't revolve around a series of 'dick jokes' that last 7-10 hrs?
Seriously, this guy is the perverted "Dude-Bro" game making Cliffy-B of Japan, no doubt.
"What is the sexiest console ever made?"
Translation: "I don't get out much".
"DRM is the future so deal with it"
I won't have to deal with it, I'm getting a PS4, done.
"How Will Assassin’s Creed Continue To Evolve?"
Who cares, really? The first game's story was great, the second games story starts to get too convoluted and it really just get worse from thereon out.
Assassin's Creed is the "Lost" of video games and they milked what once was a great story into spoiled milk. It's over. Time to get back to Prince Of Persia.
