The exact same question was asked in the podcast. Järvi says the project would get harder to manage if lots of additional people are hired and with the project being as hard as it is, they'll rather take the time.

They have to blur all the background now so that the foreground can look good.

"Ok I am worried. Why such a small team for a game with so much hype?"

Media Molecule and Team ICO. Small teams. Big hype. Big deliveries. I'm making some assumptions, but I think they're pretty safe bets.

I agree, it's better to have the team close together to give the game some soul :D

Not sure if 150 people counts as little and i wouldn`t have used GTA4 as an example of a great game. It`s one of the most overhyped games i`ve tried. If you had said Media Molecyle with LBP however...

Big development teams dosn`t mean it`s going to be bad either, i think it`s more a question of what kind of games you want to make.

I do agree with you that they shouldn`t show of their games or give a release date before they`re ready though. I can`t wait for more Alan Wake, the first trailer had an interesting concept.

...and it takes longer to create a ground up project like this. Not necessarily a bad thing in the long run but we as fans have so much anticipation for the title the development time seems bad for us.

From Remedy's website: "Remedy currently employs over 30 highly talented game developers." http://www.remedygames.com/...

With the extra people they have hired for Alan Wake, it totals up to about 50, if I remember the number correctly from an interview I read in a finnish newspaper.

There is actually a video on youtube showing the engine and the guys made Max Payne, that why so many people are hyped ( ... I guess)

The Lazy One - 444 days 21 hours ago

There's a couple tech demo's showing the day/night cycle, environments, and physics. Then there's a trailer that actually gives an idea of what the story is going to be like.

30 people for the pc/360 version?

It's not enormously huge on anything time consuming. Once the toolset was set up they probably just spent most of the time making levels.

Too Human 7 out of 10 average. Just a good game

The real flops are on the PS3

Lair flop of 2007
Haze megaflop of 2008

Both rated just above a 5 average. PSflop!

Lair is an awesome game in all honesty. I loved Lair and enjoyed it very much and still pop it into rack up medal counts. Lair's graphics super exceed 97% of anything on the xbox 360 and roughly 90% of what you see on the Ps3.

Lair was only a flop to idiots who didn't give it a chance and reviewers who couldn't get past the fact that it wasn't trying to emulate any part of the wii experience, but rather a new one all its own. Lair is easily 1 of the best cinematic gaming experiences anyone can hope to have. It looks amazing at 1080P and it runs smooth. They have a patch now for all the cry babies who don't like the motion controls, so check it out and give it a go.

Lair was great and highly underrated, as was Genji 2 (which is still 1 of the top 5 best looking Ps3 games, in my opinion) and Folklore. < Probably the most underated game this gen so far on any system.

Kojima can't write a 'solid' story to save his life.

Metal Gear has more plot holes than the Bible.

Your flaming skills are no better. Your overuse of the words WEAK and FLOP r proof that you need to get out more. Put the keyboard down and back away from it.

Game looks like it's shaping up to be something worth playing.

What are you talking about?

PS3 still doesn't have anything great enough to make 360ers jealous at all.

I know, I only own MGS4 and Uncharted.
(the 2 best titles that have no replay value. unless you want to try and put together the non-existent plot.)
And I just played Mass Effect for the second time and I'm playing Gears again now.

"I know, I only own MGS4 and Uncharted.

LOL, that's some funny trolling :)

But just incase you were serious, I must warn you that MGS4 and Uncharted getter even better with the second playthrough. No Joke.

In MGS4, you only gain access to the ammo and gas grenades that affect people with the emotions of sadness, anger, horror, or laughter. For example, shoot someone with a Laughter bullet and watch them crack Joker-style and start killing his own comrades all the while laughing hysterically. Or throw the Sadness gas grenade into a group of soldiers and watch them drop their weapons, and hunch over bursting in tears without the will to fight. They're other insane items / weapons that you can only access after your first play through.

And with Uncharted, if you've been racking up points by meeting certain in-game conditions like a bunch of head-shot in a row or excuting a certain number of gun & fist combo attacks, you begin to unlock all of these goodies from character skins to unlimited weapons that you can access during your second play through.

Heck, if you beat the games once, you atleast owe it to yourself to enjoy those rewards with another play through
