Devs, what type of budget increases should studios expect

Tons of really quirky and niched titles were released this gen, I'm fairly certain that more strange titles were released this generation compared to the previous one, and the next generation will probably have just as many strange games as weäve seen the last couple of years - if not more.

Also, I don't think that the cost of developing a next-gen equivalent to a quirky title from this generation will be much more expensive than it is today. And with each generation of consoles more and more people start to see themselves as "hardcore" or "oldschool" so the market for smaller titles constantly grows, so there's certainly room for some added development costs.

 

Several?

I'm talking about strictly development costs not production and advertising.

 

Yep so am I
