Half Life 3 for the Xbox, and developed by Microsoft? I'm shocked.

Name a company other than Epic or Rockstar or maybe Rocksteady that could make a AAAA game.

I don't think rocksteady has that much money.

 

[Anticitizen One]

But mass effect 3 already came out!

 

[Buckethead]

That's one more A than I've come to expect from video game titles.

they do have the warner brothers money behind them dont they?

 

[TheBioLover]

I can't wait for Gears of Halo: American Nightmare.

 

[Terra Firma]

That's kinda retarded, considering that the scale goes as follows: A, AA, AAA, S.

 

[ronito]

It's so big it required an extra A!

 

[zlatko]

Gears of Halorza.

Only on Kinect.

Tru dat. AAAA just seems like impossible Shenmue amounts of fundage. The titanic or water world of video games.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Meanwhile, at Nintendo...

Indeed. Or the Avatar...

It all makes sense now..

I sure hope it's in first person!

The industry has a fever and it clearly needs more As.

Had to take one of those A's from Obsidi_n

 

[DCharlie]

Are you horny? Call MICROSOFT for AAAA levels! I can fill your needs. Discrete. Clean. In call/out call. Best rates on internet. Let me process you in a way you've never been processed before.

will a stunner turn up or will it be another "tranny surprise"?

 

[CrunchyFrog]

This is in every shape and form the perfect metaphor. Bravo

 

[Deadstar]

I'd love to play a halo game with good graphics. I think it would really be incredible. The amount of stuff that goes on in Halo has always been impressive but the graphics have never been that great.

 

[HeySeuss]

Kinectimaaaals 2?

 

[Foffy]

Had to take one of those A's from Obsidi_n

Holy shit. I actually gasped.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Finally Perfect Dark is getting the respect it deserves!

 

[Blablurn]

but will the gaming community be ready for this?

 

[ProtoCents]

All I can think of is a joke that only fighting game GAF will get... AaaaAAAAAA

[user_nat]

Just going to be two AA games taped together.

 

[Azure J]

YES. :lol

Finally! Microsoft is getting us out of the AAA ghetto!

 

[Kazerei]

Microsoft Studios (Xbox) is looking for a dynamic and seasoned Executive Producer to lead and develop a world-class team who will own the creation and delivery of a AAAA experience that delivers on 1st party goals and, more importantly, creates a fun gaming experience for our audience.

New dev team and new IP incoming?

 

[Fantastical]

This just in:

Sony developing "AAAA x infinity + 2" title.

 

[TheOddOne]

New dev team and new IP incoming?

It's a job listing for the publishing group, this means they are working with an outside developer.

 

[Jocchan]

 

[manzo]

Man, this is like asking for being an executive producer for a restaurant which is aiming at 4 Michelin stars.

 

[maquiladora]

 

[Hyuga]

Thread title is missing "BREAKING NEWS:"

 

[SolarPowered]

I can't wait to pay $80 for these "AAAA" titles. Also, anything below 95% on metacritic will be mediocre.

 

[anonymous_abc]

With the most epic 2 hour single player experience yet!

"it's a whopping 60 minutes long, and those will blow everything seen before out of the water! Add to that endless multiplayer fun, you will end up paying just 20$ per hour spent in game, a steal!"

 

[elektrixx]

No, that's Drambuie.

 

[PinkCrayon]

Holy shit! The holy grail of gaming? I mean, if the best games that are out now are AAA... Wow! My mind cannot possibly begin to fathom!

 

[jump_button]

Halo with more Ads show every sec everywhere

 

[Alx]

Who started the "AAA" ranking by the way ? I supposed it came from the arcades, but seeing that even finance agencies use it, it may be more common than I thought.
What's wrong with having a maximal ranking (A) and keeping to it ?

 

[Alastor]

First design document leaked:

 

[Limanima]

In response to this news, Kaz had this to say:
-No problem, we are developing a AAAAA title

 

[demolitio]

How does a AAAA game compare to a 4D game? Gotta love "marketing" terms.

Epic has since come out and said that they're working on a AAAAAA game, or an extra A if you include the engine development costs, so beat that!

 

[tci]

Phill Harrison hard at work already I see,

 

[elektrixx]

AAAA Real Monsters.

 

[Twinduct]

LOL!
But were do we go from here with review scales?
I mean usually a AAA game = 9-10/10 (if you want to believe it)

Calling it now, during the next console cycle all AAAA games will be automatically rewarded a 10/10. 9/10 games just won't be worth it anymore!

The moniker AAA is meant to mean budget, not review scores which people still think.

 

[elektrixx]

Maybe they're making a really small battery.
