The most non-lazy dev this gen

Lets face it- many devs this gen have spent way too much time and resources on making a game that is not really worth waiting for and does not end up having good results.

We have seen devs this gen that are able to output a game in less than 2 years that provide the quality of a game that takes at least 3 or more years to develop.

Which dev do you think this gen has outputed the most and consistent quality of games?

I personally think it should go to bioware. Dragon Age Mass Effect. Two huge games and its possible we will see both Dragon age 2 and Mass Effect 3 released in the same year! On top of that they are working on The Old Republic which is also set to release this year.

 

Who do you think is the most non-lazy dev this gen?

That's really not a fair statement to make.

Take Naughty Dog for instance, they may make an incredible game in two years but they also have a large team and a huge budget.  That means they have a lot of people locally and probably a lot of out sourced people.

Now if you look at another studio that took three or more years to make a game but don't produce something the level of Uncharted, that doesn't autmoatically mean they're lazy by any means.  They probably didn't have 1/4 the budget and near the team size.

Uncharted games were both made on $20m budgets, with teams around 100 (I am fairly sure that they have only reached that number with Uncharted 2)

But I certainly agree laziness depends on the number of employees that people use, so the question is how productive is each employee which is something impossible to judge. A seemingly efficient studio could just come from overworking
