'AAA-titels worden minder belangrijk'
Blacklist director Patrick Redding (Splinter Cell) heeft in een recent interview opgemerkt dat de videogamesindustrie verandert. Er is een verschuiving van grote titels naar kleinere, onafhankelijke games.
"The market as a whole is going to undergo a critical shift in priorities, a shift away from the absolute primacy of graphics and production values and content creation toward systemic depth," aldus Redding. "This trend is going to trigger a reality check for developers like me who work on established franchises with a large succession of sequels, and it's also going to be a call-to-arms for smaller game creators, including a number of people who are sitting in this room, I hope."
De reden hiervoor ligt bij de opkomst van verschillende digitale distributiekanelen en de stijgende ontwikkelingskosten.
