Polygon talks to Highwire Studios (Gaming)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Friday, June 19, 2015, 16:27 (3445 days ago) @ INSANEdrive

After working for so many years at Bungie, O'Donnell said he wants the new company to "stay small."

"There's a thing that happens when the stakes get higher and higher," he said. "Budgets go through the roof and the teams go from small, intimate teams to multiple hundreds of people. We've been there and done that. We don't have any desire to do that again."

I hate to be negative, but this means that their games aren't going to be cutting edge, won't push the medium forward, and will probably just be forgotten. I'm sorry, but all the coolest things about video games take more money and more people to make better.

I'm kind of disappointed that this is the company attitude :-(
