It's gonna be an
game then.
Seriously, fucking stop with that crap yo. Stupid fucking and useless buzzword. A/AA/AAA was only used to promote games to stores. To show it is a big game, and that the titles could maybe expect lots of sales, because of the big budget for both development and marketing behind it, but that hardly ever means the quality is great.
We've seen plenty of games being touted as AAA in the past decades that turned out be terrible, unfinished pieces of shit.
Addendum: We've also seen smaller budgeted titles be way more polished than those supposed AAA titles. There's no meaning to it anymore, and it just makes your project look like a damn joke that should be avoided.

I have a feeling this game will not play like what people think. Coming end of this year and no gameplay? Suspect...
What if there's a blowout coming in a few weeks in the E3 time frame?
Oh, there's no real meaning at all outside of sales. That's what A/AA/AAA were used for. It's a sales thing, for stores. For them to determine how many games copies they should buy. You know, if you had a store owner/manager that wasn't into games and didn't keep track of them. That's it. That's where it came from.
Nothing, videogames just borrowed it from bond credit rating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_credit_rating
That's so normal. I wonder what execs think any of that AAAA stuff means or what such a game is supposed to accomplish? Games with budgets of 100s of millions aren't rare anymore, and those are like gaas games like Genshin. Is it gonna be a really high budget single player game? All it sounds like is that they are going to make the gaming equivalent of the next coming of Christ.
Sorry, that's just AAA now. Microsoft announced that the fourth A has been delayed til early 2025.
When its price goes to $80 and length goes down to 7 hours.
People make fun of it, but AAAA absolutely makes sense. There's a difference between the typical threshold for AAA, and those handful of games that seemingly have infinite budget thrown at them. When I hear AAAA, totally understanding that it's marketing speak, I think of something like Red Dead Redemption from a budget, development cycle and staffing standpoint.
It's the same thing as when people roll their eyes at "2nd party," claiming that it doesn't exist as an industry term. That's true that it doesn't, but for the sake of a short and sweet way of saying a "3rd party developer making a first party title for a platform holder," it's useful in gaming discussions.

It's funny because you also make that sound when you get skeered by the monsters
I can't decide if the term "AAAA" is funnier than the amount of emotional response to it here.
Who cares? It simply refers to budgets and a quality bar they are shooting for.
Also, that image says it is "targeting" later 2022. Which translates to "it will be delayed at least a year."

God not the "AAAA" PR bullshit again.
Just call it AAA and move on.

It's part of the PUBG universe so there is your answer.

When you're writing your story headline and a big bee flies towards you.
Legit tho, AAAA means nothing. Is it supposed to be a signifier that it will be of a higher quality than a triple A title?
Because this is the PUBG team.
My understanding is each A is $100 million budget. So really the only game approaching AAAAA status is Star Citizen.
Yeah I'm confused as well how many people seem to be stuck on what clearly appears to be a joke... I mean whatever, doesn't distract from the fact I'm hyped as fuck to see more.
AAAA quality. That will be a quote they regret if the game releases in a less than perfect state or is just not very good.
None of those say anything about the game's quality though. At this point I'm putting more faith in the pedigree of the people making it as Dead Space was bloody brilliant.
My fingers are crossed! I have high hopes, quadruple-A weirdness aside.
Probably because PUBG is a recognizable brand and a widely popular game.
Just the same publisher, the dev team is not the same. Not even in the same country.
