Infinity Ward produces their Call of Duty games in 2 years, Epic developed Gears of War 2 in 2 years, and Insomniac developed Resitance 2 in 2 years, so why would a similar timeframe for The Conduit be so bad?

 

2 years for The Conduit 2 seems perfectly reasonable.

 

I find it difficult to believe that a game like Resistance began development more than 2 years before the PS3 launched being that the vast majority of launch games are started 12 to 18 months before a console is released ... It wasn't that uncommon for similar games to be developed with excellent results in under 18 months on previous generation consoles, so why is 2 years such a death sentence?

Seriously, you should stop talking on occassion if you want people to believe your facade about being a game developer ...

 

This made me LOL, as well as this whole entertaining thread. 

To recap the score Happy, Kazs, NJ5, etc = 40 logical points

Groucho and a couple of others = 1 illogical point that keeps getting trampled, pressed, killed, and the people stating such points are just retracting.

Yeah the shorter development time of Resistance 1 is shown by how average it looked and played and gameplay wise some things were unacceptable last gen, haven't had a chance to play it yet but the longer development time of Resistance 2 seemed to have made a good shooter, nothing amazing but a very solid game, and would probably be were your average time should be alloted for a good shooter to be made this gen vs last, which on topic extra time = extra money :)
