used games have been around since the NES days ...hell even before that .

Why they are making a big deal about used games being sold these days seems to me they are just too money hungry these days.

ive bought plenty of used ps1/n64 games in the 90s dude how come dev's werent complaining then?

seems to me developers sold their soul and became too money hungry and lost focus on making good games.

This is the worst thread ever. I dont really care that they are money hungry. Ill buy the games that I like, and wont for the ones I dont. I prefer to buy all my games new and I dont like to resell them, so the used games thing doesnt matter to me.

You do know games cost a lot more to make than they did back then which is the reason lots of devs have been shut down recently, so I think they need the money.

So you'd rather have them increase the price of video games than complain about used game sales? Sounds reasonable.

Your opinion doesn't change anything, it's more expensive now that is a fact. Also that is just an engine, it just gives them the framework that they need to make the game.

nope, back in 1997 turok developers couldnt just license unreal engine 3 and make the game like dev's can now.

developers had to make their own engine making development more expensive.

it's a fact development is cheaper and easier than ever these days and dev's are complaining go **** urself.

how would a 12 year old remember games like turok and the N64. you wouldn't of been born then. did you watch some youtube vids or something

No need to get so angry, this is an online forum. The engines they used then were less complicated than the ones they use now. Do you think that when they license the engine they are given character models, stories, level design as well because as far as I know the devs have to make all of that stuff and more to make a game.

ill bet money on it....the original turok the dinosaur hunter cost more money to make than turok on ps3 and xbox360 using the unreal engine 3.

original turok the dev's had to create the engine, plus 3d worlds were kinda new back then also.

ps3/360 turok they just licensed engine from epic and made it didnt even have to make engine.

It costs a lot more than $20,000 to actually design everything that's in the game though, or are you just ignoring that point?

Yes and it takes a good to years to make most games and more people are now required to make these games so the amount of money needed increases.

It's 99 dollars. If you're ready to fork over 25% of the revenue your game generates to Epic that is.

doom4dukenukem

lol it still cost a good $20mil-40mil area.The problem i think your not getting is developement back then was much cheaper, model building turnarounds were far lower due to the less complex nature of those, and the rudimentary things like less physics calculations,object models being much more primitave etc.

Turn around on a game was also far lower because of the lesser complexity of the game aswell.

Pretty sure Sonic 1 (probably the flagship game for the megadrive at the time) cost something like $500,000 to make and was expensive.FF7 was a behemoth project but im sure after advertising it barely went past the $10mil mark.

Games now are running into treble figures in some cases A-la GTA 4 so you cant blame them for getting pissy if they are investing that kinda cash in a game and people buy it used.

And btw UE3 cots a couple mil to license and its only a basic engine framework for them.

turok n64 iguana made the graphics engine it's more expensive to make ur own engine especially when 3d tech is new also.

mass effect they just licensed engine after years of dev's already have experience with 3d worlds/engines proven technology.

mass effect was definitely cheaper to make than turok the dinosaur hunter.

That depends on the game. But it's also much more expensive than building an engine 15 years ago.

Do you know how a game is made? An engine is only part of it, they need to design all the levels, characters all that stuff. This gen because of the graphical increase it's harder for devs to make all this stuff, which is why more people are required to make the games, more people=more money needed. Is that so hard to understand?

why are you telling us something most of us already know :o what were getting at is the fact your claiming turok cost more than games this gen.

As i will reiterate UE3 only supplies the most basic of frameworks for the developer.

nope it should be cheaper because 3d game worlds are already proven 15 years later dev's got more experience now make stuff quicker

3d engine's werent proven back in turok 97 days.

even if i except your nonsense to be true. what is your point. that games should be cheaper now. well they are. i bought turok when it first came out and it cost me £69 yep £69. the most i pay for a game now is £35 such as ME2. so that nearly 50% cheaper. plus if you take inflation into account and that games do not increase in price with inflation then games have never been cheaper. also you complain about trade ins... i guess you must REALLY hate the PC as there is no trade in market what so ever.

That is true. It's also much more expensive than building an engine 15 years ago.

waltefmoney

nope it should be cheaper because 3d game worlds are already proven 15 years later dev's got more experience now make stuff quicker

3d engine's werent proven back in turok 97 days.

Do you have any proof to back up your claims?

more man hours had to be spent making 3d world tech just work dude back then

dev's now can create stuff quicker because more experience in 3d game worlds than 15 years ago.

it;s common sense.

ill bet money on it....the original turok the dinosaur hunter cost more money to make than turok on ps3 and xbox360 using the unreal engine 3.

original turok the dev's had to create the engine, plus 3d worlds were kinda new back then also.

ps3/360 turok they just licensed engine from epic and made it didnt even have to make engine.

You would lose that money.

???

it's like 20 grand to license unreal engine sdk.

that's not very much.

even if your right, who is gonna do the scripting, art, voices, animations?

developers have more experience doing this in 2010 than 1997 less time has to be spent making the stuff.

HINTS developments cheaper

They actually don't create stuff quicker now, for GT5 it took them 6 months for someone to create one of the cars in the game, In the original GT it took less than a week.

Even taking into account inflation, game development has gotten far more expensive than 10-20 years ago...

Urworstnhtmare

well thats not true at all. ok last gen games were on average £5-£10 cheaper, but you go back to the cartridge days and £50-£60 was the going rate in the UK. now i pay no more that £35 for a brand new release, if i wait a week or two then all most every game is around £20.

it's like like when u first start playing guitar...then u get better with experience over like 15 years

lol u wouldnt have to work as hard to cover someone's song.

developers have more experience now, so less hours should have to be spent making the games.
