Just make the fuckin game. Jesus Christ this is so on brand for what the Western gaming market has become.
If this game isn't run through the Diversity Filter Tool (DFT) , then don't call it AAAA GLEN, fuckin hell.

Well boys, file this one under the development hell/talent loss/infinite delay folder. Seriously, anytime I hear a studio label themselves "AAAA" and gleefully tout it, I immediately doubt that studios ability to deliver. A king doesn't need to remind people he's the king. I don't know, maybe they are the exception, but it hasn't worked out for others thus far speaking similar language.

But this time they're promising "the highest level of quality" and "distinguished action mechanics"!
DISTINGUISHED ACTION MECHANICS!
Surely they're gonna deliver. Grossly overpromising has never NOT worked out.

Companies using AAAA just seems like pure marketing hype to me. I mean how much bigger is the budget on one of those compared to other AAA titles?

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
This is peak marketing cringe.
Games should speak by themselves, and this kind of claims make me think that whatever they are working on must be ass.

"Among others working on the game include Steve Papoutsis, who also co-developed the Dead Space series and led the series following Schofield's departure from Visceral; Scott Whitney, a designer on the Dead Space series; and Christopher Stone, the animation director for the former series. Of the 150 employees of Striking Distance, Schofield said that about 25 to 30 former coworkers from Visceral Games and Sledgehammer Games are part of Striking Distance working on The Callisto Protocol."
I have full confidence in this game. I'm sure Krafton isn't meddling like EA. This will be the Dead Space 3 we always knew they could make.

Same universe set centuries into the future. Not like PUBG has much lore. If anything this game will be the first creating any lore of substance within their universe.

Is this a single player game or multiplayer?

Single player. The spiritual successor to Dead Space.

Adding one more A, hmm….
After Triple A, the game teleports instantaneously to all homes at once and then teleports all the funds from your bank accounts or coins in your couches to The Krafton Coffers.

Sounds like yet another case of overpromising.
And we all know what happens after that.

You know, if the "A's" were tied to an objective measure, say development (not marketing) budget, then it'd be less annoying when developers use it for marketing hype. As it is, it's like hearing kids one-up each other in make-believe:"Nuh uh, you didn't kill me because I have infinity-plus-one magic." "Oh yeah, bitch? Well now I've got infinity-plus-one-PLUS-one power so fuck you."
Here's my tier suggestions--basically exponential increases:
Single A: Under $1M
AA: $2-10M
AAA: $10-$100M
AAAA: $100M+
That puts something like Watch Dogs at AAA, and GTA V, Red Dead 2, and Cyberpunk at AAAA.

You might have missed a recent thread about AAA events on Fortnite. Devs say what gamers want to hear. It’s all about how nothing is AAA enough these days. Less than 80 million spent? Indie newbs. And let me still complain about games taking 5 years to release.

Calling your game AAAA never end well but here at it at least looks like they were joking.

Agree to disagree.
From budget to sheer amount of microdetails and number of motion captured scenes, to a less than tertiary animal ecosystem more complex than full hunting games to many other things, the game is still unrivaled today and it's gonna be unrivaled until gta6 come out.
We can argue about gameplay, pacing, movements etc. But nothing come close to rdr2 in many many aspects, and those aspects are clearly dictated by how much manpower\time\money were put into the game.
