Message: [QUOTE="Shameless, post: 18498, member: 56061"] From my understanding working on games (as a hobby) is kind of a mix of things. Firstly is analytics and access to customer data with the rise of the internet, AAA games don't play as many wildcards as they have alot more data to backup decisions for better or worse. We also gota understand that we are looking back and on the ps2/psp and can easily pick out the good ones now that theirs like 15-20 years worth of people shifting thorough em all Secondly is the standardization of tech, games back then in pretty much every aspect where made in-house. these days stuff like materials and rendering has come down to a hand full of methods so no more need for specialized code and in turn no more need to have as much of an in-depth understanding of the stuff your using. Its all just due to a lower bar of entry and higher ceiling of knowledge which all come together to increase the quality potential well lowering the overall median standard. Its so much easier to just make "A Game" but also alot harder to make a real good one. [/QUOTE]
