Verdekal 09/24/19 1:57:26 PM #1:	FFs VII, VIII, IX and X came out in 97, 98, 99 and 01. GTA III, VC and SA came out in 01, 02 and 04. Crash 1, 2, 3 and CTR came out in 96, 97, 98 and 99. Now games take the better part of a decade to get a sequel. --- Don't tease the octopus, kids! <cite>Verdekal posted [p:927880830] in Why do gam...

Thompson 09/24/19 2:05:48 PM #2:	Well, for starters, games were a lot smaller in scale two decades ago. A single vehicle in GTA5 today most likely requires as many hours to create as a dozen did in GTA3. --- Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images. <cite>Thompson posted [p:927881198] in Why do gam...

Megaman50100 09/24/19 2:46:04 PM #13:	Games being bogged down by absurdly expensive development cycles compiled on top of content roadmaps designed to grapple with your long-term attention.
