I wonder when will the first AAA clone would appear. What can a ton of money and huge team do to the genre?
I don't think they see money in player-driven open-ended games like Minecraft. Has there been a LittleBigPlanet clone yet? It's also been years since the Noun Tycoon game fad died (I don't think any of those even were AAA titles either), and the last new successor Sim City game came out 8 years ago.

I don't think they see money in You don't think they see money in making a clone of something which fulfills both of the following?: 1. It has made a shitton of money 2. Clones of it have made a shitton of money ~ Also, I dunno how much money LittleBigPlanet made, but creating a basic block-editing engine is super easy; it survives not on quantity of content to put together like LBP would, but on... well, the simple engine with smatterings of detail added.

That is pathetic. Whoever made that is a terrible people. Also, I just checked out a video and it's hilariously awful. You guys should look it up. The parallax is hideous.

Clones of it have made a shitton of money To the small production teams that have currently been cloning Minecraft, what they've made is a buttload of money. But when you add in the staff of a AAA studio, that pie gets broken up into many more pieces. Plus, when you consider that AAA studios consist of teams not just of coders and artists, but animators, concept artists, level designers, and writers, you have teams that don't mesh well into non-linear, non-plot-driven, cut-scene-less genre that Minecraft fits into. Plus, if they want to make a bunch of money, they'd just do what Zynga is doing. It's easier. And it's what they are doing.

What people seem to forget is that these games go beyond blocky worlds like minecraft.
There's a huge amount of ways to do games like this, LBP was one of them, so triple-a studios can definitely get into it, but the tunnel-vision is why people keep making first person block-building games when there's so many other ways to take it.

Huh? How is LBP a "block building" game? It's a platformer with a physics engine and a level editor.

Because it doesn't even have to be a block building game to cash in on the minecraft thing, it's about having a world where you can actually be creative and create something for yourself, no blocks have to be involved.

LBP was released a year before the first version of Minecraft came out. Also, user-generated content isn't Minecraft's only distinguishing feature. As I said previously, LBP is just a game with a level editor, which is in itself nothing extraordinary (most of its supposed "innovations" were just marketing buzz). In Minecraft, the level editor IS the game, ir better put, it's part if the core gameplay and not a separate tool.

Umm... in LBP, the level editing IS the core gameplay. People just happen to suck at it, for the most part. And I haven't bothered whipping through the seventy tutorial levels yet. XD I'm still waiting for LittleBigAdventure; it's Zelda-like spinoff.

You are missing my point, I'm saying that there's this untapped source of games that minecraft and LBP both are a part of, and while people are scrambling to make the next cube building game, they fail to see that these types of games are more diverse and not just about cubes.
It's about giving people games where they are more than one of the few dynamic elements in a static world.
