The Scarcity of Big Budget Video Games Set in the Real World

The Scarcity of Big Budget Video Games Set in the Real World

A recent discussion has emerged around the noticeable absence of triple-A video games set in modern, real-world environments. While many gamers enjoy the immersive experiences provided by fantastical realms and fictional universes, some believe this trend may stem from various factors that hinder the development of realistic settings in high-budget games.

One reason suggested is the challenge of capturing the complexities of the real world. Developers may find it easier to create expansive, imaginative landscapes that allow for more creative freedom and less scrutiny. Additionally, the potential for controversy in depicting real-world events or locations could deter studios from pursuing modern settings, as they may face backlash or criticism.

Moreover, the gaming industry has seen a significant shift towards open-world experiences, often set in fictionalized versions of historical or fantastical places. This trend may overshadow the appeal of contemporary settings, leading to a cycle where fewer developers are willing to invest in games that reflect the world as it is today. As a result, players may continue to see a preference for the extraordinary over the ordinary in the realm of big-budget gaming.
