What about Final fantasy 7 remake? that would make it a trifecta

The film?

I bet you $100 it will never come out, and if it does the reviews will not average above 79/100. They're already embracing the Pay2Win model. The same model that EA used with Battlefront II. Do you like that sort of MTX pricing? If so why?

Oh, so Kojima is allowed to "take a while", but other games aren't? (Huge hint to a few games out there that have taken years to create, if no one picks up on that).

Considering the time between he leaving Konami, creating his studio and announcing the game, the development is still between 3-5 years which is quite common for a game of the intended scope.

And a game asking for a bigger scope should take more time right?.

DonFerrari Chazore (on 28 January 2019)

Changing scope on the middle is usually a sign of bad project management, but yes if you increase scope you'll likely increase dev time and budget.

Chazore Chazore (on 28 January 2019)

That seems oddly specific for a certain game, but adding more time and resources to said bigger scope is what should yield good results (as expected of the AAA side without a doubt).
