Don't worry, it was literally 4 months ago, (22nd Feb) so I'm sure some people would've forgotten or not seen it.

CrystalMushroom - I fail to see how the "mean-spiritedness" of the post takes away from its cold-logic. That said, Jindo, calling CrystalMushroom an ass isn't really called for.

Moving to what's actually being said, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for costs to skyrocket once again. Engine tools are vastly better than they were at the start of the last generation, and the next generation of consoles have been designedÂ with the developer in mind. It's not like the PS3 where Sony basically told devsÂ we've done everything we can to make your life miserable. Good luck.

There's always a learning curve, but using a PC architecture is going to ease the transition and save developers a crap-ton of money on cross-platform development. Honestly, developers are already making "next-gen" games visually on PC. We're not hearing anything there about "sky-rocketing costs" or budgets that are so far out of whack compared to what's become the norm this generation.

As I've argued, publishers blaming their problems on rising budgets are in many cases just trying to draw attention away from their own incompetence.

And I just noticed you both are new here. Welcome and enjoy yourselves.;)

How could I contradictÂ myself when my reasoning is clear for anyone to see?, haha.

Woah, Jindo, you and your friends agree with this guy? He's an ass! [/quote]

Why do you say that?.

It's a dumb thing to call someone an ass without alluding to any reasoning behind the claim. It's you that appears to be the only ass here.

This will also be the generation where gamers give the least shit about publisher's feelings.

You cannot tell me that this is not mean spirited in the least. And then you go and call me one for NO reason whatsoever.

That poster makes some very good points though, including the one you sight as being "mean". Where have you been this gen?. There are some developers that have been f-ing over fans for a good number of years, and providing lame excuses for their actions!. Funnily enough, CapcomÂ are thee worst offenders by far when it comes to fucking over fans, so such comments aren't surprising, they should be expected.Â

High-end console developers will have few excuses to pull from, now that these consoles are entirely geared towardsÂ developer needs, in respect to both tools and hardware. Even now both Sony and Microsoft are continuing to consult them as they finalize specifications for both.[/quote]

True dat.

But still, that is a little harsh on what that guy said .
Also, I love how Jindo contradicted himself the third sentence he made.
