Guess what Game has the Largest Dev Team?

While lots of folks believe its Killzone 2 with a little over 120 devs... its really another game.

The title for the largest dev team goes to Halo 3 - with 250+ part-time and full-time staff working at all times.

"For the last three years, a team of 250 full-time and part-time designers and engineers at Bungie Studios, the development house that is owned by Microsoft, have been assembling Halo 3, said Frank O'Connor, the game's head writer. (He declined to say how much money they spent on the game)"

Thats a lot of people. and seriously makes me think what Halo 3 truly has in store for its fans... how much has it kept secret from its fans? (though clearly im not one of em)

the 120 is the design team for killzone alone, the 250 number sounds like bungie's full staff probably down to the janitors that clean up.jrhawk42

well that explains why kz and 2 is and will be so bad they spend so much time on grafix they forgot about the gameplay :(

the amount of people doesnt really matter that much....STALKER had a dev team of like 9 full time devs and managed to trump almost every other FPS out there.cobrax75

are you serious? link?

So now amount of devs = good game?OhhSnap50893

no. Epic large scale games = lots of devs needed.

that i think we can all clearly agree on.

what about spore

they had to call in guys from civ to polish off that baby

False, Gran Turismo 5 has 500 ARTISTS alone working on the gameR-Dot-Yung

So now amount of devs = good game?OhhSnap50893

So how many devs does it take to screw in a light bulb?

sry apparently the GS page was limited....the team appears to be a lot larger then listed on GS's page....but still fairly small.

FarCry was made with 15 people. Imagine what they can do with 150.baddog121390

Yeah, and their work space must be pretty dirty too.

well

if anyones ever played max payne

and tried the kung fu addon mod

that total conversion was made by one single individual

sure it wasn't like he had to make levels or a ton of diff models

but im pretty sure he did it himself and over the summer too

May I have the email and phone number to your crystal ball supplier? I'm running low on stock.

that's nothing, by the time Duke Nuken Forever is released, over 2,000 people will have contributed to the project! :o

i was gonna leave a link to rick roll all you system warzians, but i'll be cooler than that.

Lol... When it is released..

I bet that game will be cancelled sometime around 2050 or so..
