There a couple problem with that statements first off thier reusing and engne that alreadys works instead making totally new one which saves much development .Building an engine is on of the most time consuming in devlopment with that out of the way you only need 1/1/2 to two years to make a game. Example Mario Galaxy 2 which took two years instead the 4+ that the original did. |
HVS is supposedly working on two games in tandem. If not and the production pipelines for both are actually staggered, meaning they're projecting their releases for the next 3-4 years, then sure, it's doable.
It still makes more sense for a studio, 100 person staff or not, (which doesn't give us the breakdown on how many artists they have to create all the in game resources, which are independent from the game engine development and still happens to be over 60% of the work load in a high quality graphic based title) to focus on one preject at a time rather than to split up their creative resources into teams working on entirely separate projects.
Maybe they can do it. Naughty Dog did. Insomniac repeatedly does top tier work on short production pipelines as well. But I can't put HVS in the same category on the limited strengths of The Conduit. And certainly not if they're planning on cranking out a full game every year.
