I love it when people make baseless guarantees about things they have no idea about. We hadn't seen anything of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 a few weeks ago yet it'll be out over a year before FFXIII. Common sense sinking in yet? You don't know anything about any of those games development so don't guarantee anything as it is pointless and you aren't in any real position to make any valid guarantees. Seriously, you don't work on either of these games, what goes through your mind that you think you have any justification in guaranteeing anything? Anymore insider info you happen to have? |
Well, since I do work in the video game industry I do have a good idea of how things flow but I don't really need to know that because it's just common sense.
Epic takes their time on everything they do. If I remember correctly Gears of War was released towards the end of 2006. If Gears of War 2 were released at the end of 2008, that would be a two year project cycle. Two years is not a long time and I promise you they will take longer than two years to complete that game. You only take two years to make something if you're on a tight schedule with a stingy publisher breathing down your neck. Microsoft Game Studios knows Epic is a proven studio and knows that if they need the time they can have it because they will make a quality game that will make money.
If I had to take a guess, I would expect Gears of War 2 mid to late 2009.
