Ubisoft dev says AAA not the future, smaller game creators are
The following comes from Ubisoft director Patrick Redding ...
"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. 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."
I think smaller games certainly have a part in the industry. The thing is, those smaller games can grow into huge brands with multiple sequels. They may not be the AAA experiences we typically think of, but they are certainly AAA brands.
