Gaming technology becomes more advanced, complex and more capable with each passing day. The scale and scope in which developers and designers envision their projects becomes ever more ambitious. This isnt necessarily a positive thing. Consoles and modern PCs are capable of generating seemingly endless and absorbing open-worlds, but the majority of sandbox games are increasingly flawed, unpolished and defunct. The problem is that sandboxes have become the industry standard a model for success and replication, mainly due to the continued exploits of Rockstar Games in the genre. Its natural that competitors would want a slice of the pie, but so far theres been little to compare to the craftsmanship and quality of Red Dead Redemption or latest Grand Theft Auto titles. We mustnt forget that ultimately games are products and that certain standards are expected. Its becoming more and more common for sandboxes to be released in an unpolished, untested and careless condition.
