You think maybe they might just be making it to capitalize on past success because they've ran out of new ideas?

Is that how every game company works, like how Halo is just Marathon and Supreme Commander is just Total Annihilation?

Don't you know that upgrading is a lot cheaper then creating?

Do you think game companies will ever learn or will they continue feeding on the constant supply of new children to push their uninspired games onto?

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Isn't it obvious that the western ideal of pushing for realism in games with the current hardware is bringing budgets to astronomical values and therefore making it hard for "new" ideas to emerge?

Quadlazer · « **Reply #7987 on:** May 17, 2008, 03:01:00 AM »

How much does an original idea cost?

what if I told you it was your eternal soul?

NaRu · « **Reply #7989 on:** May 18, 2008, 02:22:12 PM »

he has a soul?

NonDeity · « **Reply #7990 on:** May 18, 2008, 03:47:45 PM »

Souls are worth something? That being said, wouldn't astronomically high budgets equal more ideas?

Can't you see that companies are less likely to take risks the higher the cost?

AkumaisDaGr8est · « **Reply #7992 on:** May 18, 2008, 11:04:57 PM »

but what if the gains from that risk are also very high?

Don't you know that people in marketing are about guarantees not risks?

ETL19 · « **Reply #7994 on:** May 19, 2008, 09:45:10 AM »

what about the chances?

Lucerin Red · « **Reply #7995 on:** May 20, 2008, 01:06:31 AM »

Don't you know that people who take chances are the first ones to die?

Quadlazer · « **Reply #7996 on:** May 20, 2008, 01:11:27 AM »

Wouldn't you rather die trying to make something original then live a cookie-cutter life?

Lucerin Red · « **Reply #7997 on:** May 20, 2008, 01:12:54 AM »

wouldn't it depend on what you were dying for?

ETL19 · « **Reply #7998 on:** May 20, 2008, 10:29:50 AM »

your wife maybe?

Lucerin Red · « **Reply #7999 on:** May 20, 2008, 01:45:10 PM »
