Tim Sweeney said he expects Epic to be able to build next-gen titles for “only about double the cost” of games from the start of the current generation.
Speaking about Epic's first next-gen tech demo, a 2011 clip called Samaritan in a modified version of Unreal Engine 3. Although the clip was just under three minutes in length, it took four months and a team of 30 people to create.
“If we extrapolate that into creating an entire game, we were worried that the cost would go up by a factor of three or four or even five in the next generation,” Sweeney said.
Yeah...next-gen is going to be pretty rough for devs.
