Sorry. I'm not some kind of ****** that lurks gamespot.com

But you are some kind of ******.

By the way, the dev team for ODST had tfive core developers and around 60-70 other devs, pushing the game out in a little over a year. Good job assuming they had the entirety of Bungie working on the expansion pack.

Also 6-8 hours is standard length for most FPS's anyway, I don't see why everyone is bitching about the price point.

But am I the type of ****** that goes on gamespot.com to read up on an overdone and ****ty franchise, kept alive by fanboys then criticize people for not knowing little facts about the game?

And the thing is...Halo ODST uses the same god damn game engine...All the work in a game that takes a long time is the basically the game engine. And it's been about 2 years they've been working on it almost? I'm not completely sure so tell me if I'm wrong.

14 months.

Given that the engine has nothing to do with scripted events, the remapped weapons and AI patterns, the new literal script - the acting, the direction, the FMVs, I'd say that 14 months for an 8 hour game using a preexisting engine is phenomenal. Games are being made on the Unreal of Havok engines that have less game time and longer development cycles (Heavenly Sword is guilty of this).

I've heard rendering times alone can be a huge factor in some of the more well done FMV's. It takes awile from my understanding.

Just a thought.

Re: Halo 3 ODST

Well, in the case of Heavnley Sword, which went through I believe a 3 year dev cycle with a full studio and Sony support behind it still only offered 6 hours of gameplay.

It's Halo

Why aren't you guys freaking listening

Re: Halo 3 ODST

6-8 hour campaign. 3 new maps that would normally cost $10 to DL in the Marketplace, and a new game type.

$60 should not be an issue.
