More of a "simpler is better" type deal. Not necessarily down to graphics--I mean, the wonderful thing about Journey is that it is a graphically beautiful game, and gives a wonderful experience, but it doesn't go for over-the-top narrative styles. One of the things I liked about the commentary version is that you hear them talking about all of the additional elements to the game that they took out, because hey, it made the game worse.

It's more that kind of thing. You can have a big budget, but don't forget that making things too complex usually makes a worse game, not a better one.
