Ultr said: the AAA games are not dying just the studios
Resident Evil Assassins creed COD those are like the only games I can now think of that really need such big teams
Uncharted Naughty Dog 201+ employees. TheLastOfUs Tomb Raider Deus Ex Killzone- Guerilla Games has 160 developers. Infamous Little Big Planet Resistance Heavy Rain- 180 employees (wiki source unlisted) Borderlands Darksiders Hitman- IO interactive 200+ employees.
you know what I want to say ALL those teams are like 100people at most.
so yeah, big teams seem to be dying out. but the AAA games keep coming
As well as that Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo) are at approx. 110 employees, Kojima Productions (Metal Gear Solid) approx. 200 employees.343 Industries (Halo 4) approx 250 employees.
I would imagine the Square Enix teams working on the main FF games and Rockstar North (GTA) would also have massive teams.
I don't know about everyone on that list but I know ND and Guerrila both have two studios
