Is it just me or are there fewer games being made every generation? Does newer hardware require more expensive projects? Why isn't the PS4 getting the same amount of releases as the PS2, given their comparable popularity?

Something cause mid-level devs/publishers to die off so now all that's left are big AAA companies who pour most of their resources into bland, big name games in order to maximize profits that take forever to come out or tiny indie devs. Consoles got hit hard by this because they're sold almost exclusively on those big AAA games.

Games are more expensive to make and take longer as well. Gaming is a hit driven industry like movies are, it's only just now we're seeing the rise of indie games, but making an indie game still takes more time and manpower than an indie movie. Last gen the average development cycle lasted about 2-3 years, this has now shifted to 3-4 years. Contrast that to the NES/SNES era when a game and its sequel could be releasing in the same year.
>>
>>344997628
>>345002663
These. As technology continues to develop, games become harder and harder to make, as people now have a desire for more things in their video games, such as better graphics.
This is why "retro" indie games have become so common in recent years, they're easier to make, and they feed off of nostalgia bucks.

It's more expensive to make games. The entire mid level developing scene died with THQ. Only people left in that space are niche devs.

Things are starting to recover in that area but they're a long way from PS2 era.

games keep getting more expensive to make, doubly so if you are going for bleeding edge top of the line.

So less companies have the money to compete with large mega corporations. And even those can find it rough. if they have a series of bombs, they can go in the red.

So they play things extremely safe so as to do well.

the market has become too expensive for innovation and risk taking. In the Atari and NES days, games were relatively cheap to make, and tons of noname developers made games for noname publishers. You could take risks.

Mega Man 2 was literally made for free, as a side project by the MM1 team at Capcom after the first game didnt do as well as Capcom had hoped.

You cant do that shit nowadays.

its also become more skill intensive. You can't just open MS paint and make pizel art, because what's in vogue right now is high end 3D graphics, so you need to be a fucking Pixar tier artist to work on visuals. In addition to needing to know the ins and outs of programming far more, since Videogames are far more complex than they used to be. its not just programming the Character to jump when Button A is pressed, and die when he hits a pit. You have to program the character, his subtle facial twitches, the lighting, the environment, the shit In the environment, etc etc etc in addition to the core mechanics of the game. And again, all that costs money, making it prohibitive to really design a game that stands up to the currently expected standard.

Thankfully, the indie scene is where a lot of otherwise devs go to do smaller non AAA projects. Shovel Knight, for instance, or Strafe, or Axiom Verge. The kinds of games that big name companies have no interest in anymore. Symphony of the Night is a masterpiece, but it couldnt be made today. Because 2D Sprites are so 1997
