Wat makes an AAAA game?

i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but what qualifies a game to be AAAA rated?

quality voice acting ,story , graphics and gameplay doesn't count it looks

If you mean AAA consider great reviews good presentation and over millions sale.red-ray

A game that is 9 or 9.5 to start with, then pays reviewers alot of money

Something that draws a player in with great graphics and presentation and structures the pacing to gradually test your mastery of the feature set.

Of course to get AAA sales all you need is iron sight auto-aim and explosion filled marketing campaigns:roll:

Hype, and lots of it! The game being a masterpiece also helps, but really it's mostly about the hype. See GTA IV and MGS4 for examples of how expertly designed the hype trains were to deliver meh games with perfect scores. Truly masterful hype trains on the part of Rockstar and Konami. Truly flawless. Shame about the games themselves.

There is no guide line that you follow to make a AAA game. Some games can look great and be boring Like God of War.

Well, by rating standards a 1 and a 0 make up a AAAA game.

I'm confused as to why everyone is talking about AAA games win the TC is asking about AAAA games.

Nothing can earn a perfect 10/10. Even the best games have flaws.

GAMEPLAY

so AAAA is really kinda just a matter of opinion then?

omg, the man's had an epiphany

Money, hype, marketing, flashy cutscenes, more money.

The game has to be FUN!!

If it's not fun it doesn't matter how good it looks, how deep the gameplay, or how well it's reviewed, first and foremost it has to be fun.

Look at the Mega-franchises, (eg COD, Halo, Mario) at the heart of all the hype is a fun game, and thats what makes people play them.
