Yeah, the best games of the year have been mostly games from a studio’s first or low budget and low price (showing that the high prices are artificially maintained). All this tells us is it will be overpriced. Which was likely anyway.

There is no reality in which Sony is going to charge less than $70 for this. By the time it's done they'll likely have joined the $80 club. I'll stick with my boycott of AAA games and not miss anything important.

With already The Last of Us Part II that cost a huge fortune ($220 millions), I'm actually scared about the future price of that game... And also given Marvel's Spider-Man 2's costs ($315 millions) despite its more than safe direction, I'm quite astounded about how AAA are so expensive to produce.

Respectfully, that's kind of a nothing sandwich. I'm not saying it isn't true or it won't be good, but almost all developers say some version of this about upcoming AAA games. What's he gonna say, "It's a solid 7/10 game"? Lolol
