DAILY MANIFESTO

Microsoft Adds An Extra A To Their AAA Game

Posted on Thursday, March 15 @ 09:03:31 Eastern by Anthony Severino

Stop the presses! You missed an A!

According to a new job listing, Microsoft is looking to hire an Executive Producer for a "AAAA" game. Screw AAA, that's just so 2011, and this game is so amazing, they had no choice but to add another A. Maybe the A stands for amazing, or awesome. I think it stands for assholes.

Seriously, AAA is good enough. We don't need a AAAA game. Then we'll have Sony announcing their AAAAA game in a matter of weeks trying to upstage MS. Meanwhile, Nintendo is still on sub-HD AA games. Oooh, burn.

Okay, there's no point to this article, other than I wanted to publicly LOL at Microsoft suggesting they've got something that is so good, AAA just doesn't cut it, and a whole 'nother level of A was necessary.

Tell GR: If there AAAA was real, what already released game to you would be considered in that four-A teir?

Maybe because we've been spoiled with so many good games this generation the scale has just shifted. AAAA can be for the blockbusters, AAA for great but not amazing and so on. Or maybe it's a typo

But what would AA and A mean then? and also what happens to AAA+,AAA-,AA- and so on.
