*shakes head* n4g man...come on.

As for that there is something wrong at epic if success marks future extended development on epic games...this is something that was common sense and they should have known years ago.
there were and are more then enough examples and reasons to have a longer then 1-2 year development and no beta whatsoever.

What if Resistance 3 evens it out and becomes commercially unsuccessful?

If Gears 3 is successful, Epic will likely look to increasing dev time to accomodate proper time for things like debugging/testing as well as more time for the programming aspect. Didn't Gears 2 have something like a years development time?

Edit: My bad, it was 2 years.

Yeah, but they revamped the whole game. Literally, when they modified the concept they had about a year left. Just look at the earlier trailers. Hell, they were planning on having massive battles, vehicles etc. Much like Halo or Unreal. Gears wasn't even Gears. Gears of war 3 is a steady development. Hell, Gears 1 could have went the route of Duke. Look at Unreal, got G.O.T.Y and most of its great features where added during the extended.

Hopefully it's just that good. The C.E.O stated it's the best game they've ever created. Not fail B.

Good. Gears 2 was garbage. Developing a good FPS/TPS nowadays in 2 years is pretty much impossible if you want a polished game with balanced multiplayer.

Blizzard: We already knew that!

Duke Nukem Developers: You can never have too much development. We think.

Nintendo: That's only possible when you're rich. That said, take a look at our lineup of games that took 4 years...

Apple: You can make a game in three months that makes you monies all the time.

EA Sports: Only when you're not expected to release a game every year. That crap backfires on you.

Microsoft: We wish.

Depends on personal preference. I thought GT5 is way better than Forza 3.

Nah, I doubt it. I'd hate to have really long development times, and having more than the usual 2-3 years to make a game is just ridiculous. I'm glad to see that you're lookg forward to gears 3 though, bretter2200 :)

If I were Bretter don't you think I would've gotten Ip banned. I'm someone who patrols the forum and made an account.

I see, so basically you admit to knowing who bretter is, and the fact that Gamespot IP bans? I see, *jots down information* interesting.

Like I said, I scout the forums. And every forum IP bans, at least to my knowledge.

Well, I certainly didn't get a PNF vibe from you, new comers are often seen as ban dodgers here, so sorry if you aren't one :)

Nah, I usually just "know" when it's PNF, but this time I just don't feel it. My PNF senses aren't tingling :(
