There was a time when video games were made on a shoestring budget by amateurs in their bedrooms. But no longer. Games nowadays often have as big, or bigger, budgets than Hollywood blockbusters. And the top 10 biggest video game budgets to date are listed below.
Halo developer Bungie is still refusing to discuss the game(s) it has in development. Which has led to new speculation that the title(s) will be multi-platform. I don’t think that’s even up for debate now – Bungie’s next game will be on PS3 as well as Xbox 360. Surely.
The reason many hardcore gamers dislike the Wii and its control system is the type of games available for the console. Valve thinks – hopes – that developers will up the ante and quality for the Xbox 360’s motion-sensing control system, Natal.
Natal Vs. Arc is drawing closer. Which side are you on? Chief crystal ball-gazer Michael Pachter is firmly ensconced in the Xbox corner, backing Natal over Arc to a huge degree.
Gamers are obviously a sentimental lot. That’s the only way to explain the demand there is for a remake of Final Fantasy VII, a game that millions of us played and loved to bits. But an FF7 remake looks unlikely to ever happen, mainly because it would take up so much time and resources which Square Enix would rather channel into a new title.
The Vietnam War isn’t exactly a high point in U.S. history. It’s a war in which America’s involvement was deemed unnecessary and unjust. And it resulted in the deaths of more than 50,000 U.S. soldiers. Yet it’s rumored to be the setting of the next Call Of Duty game.
Final Fantasy XIII is obviously coming to both the PS3 and Xbox 360 after Square Enix decided to spread the love from just Sony to include Microsoft. However, that doesn’t guarantee the two versions will play or look the same. And there’s now evidence that the Xbox 360 version will not be running in HD, unlike the PS3 version.
Sony has improved the features and usability of the PS3 immensely since it was first released via regular firmware updates. But there are some features which are consistently missing, the biggest of which is arguably cross-game voice chat. And there could be a reason for that.
Aaron Greenberg thinks the Xbox 360 has more blockbuster titles and exclusive games in 2010 than the PS3 does. Can he possibly be right?
Nintendo really needs to cut the price of the Wii, especially with Natal and Arc on the way. Discuss.
