The Coalition (developers of Gears series) are apparently supporting the development of Halo Infinite

Interesting. Either 343 is really struggling or Microsoft wants infinite to have a bunch of stuff in it that one team alone cannot do.
Yeah. The credits on modern games are huge, way bigger than the studio name thats tied to working on said game.
edit: common practice. why hire another third party studio when your existing 1P studios have the bandwidth?
lmao. no. why would you even think that?
Now hopefully there's enough time on the clock for id to offer some friendly advice on Slipspace once the Zenimax acqusition goes through.
Holy shit, can you imagine id helping out on some of the internal engines across XGS + Bethesda?

If you can utilize idle talent, why not.
Add some cross skins please. Arbiter and Chief in Gears. Could easily do a Carmine for Halo, maybe a Locust too.

The only thing that seems strange to me is that these are developers from another flagship Xbox studio. It's not like they're pulling in contract work from Splash Damage or some studio we've never heard of - they're using people from the Coalition who they're certainly paying pretty well to be at their own studio. Could this have something to do with Microsoft's strange rules around an 18 month limit for contractors?
Horizon 3 did 10 million (never touched game pass or gwg either) so I was just wondering
Yeah but did ND need Insomniac to get them across the finish line a year late?
maybe it's bigger than halo 5, but as a franchise? not a chance. there's been halo shows/movies, books, toys, etc. halo is enormous
I mean maybe. IDK.
2,169 seems like a lot of just contractors.
Everyone at SIE seem really buddy-buddy with each other so it would not literally surprise me to see a few idle hands helping out.
Something like this is very dependent on the context.
If it is a case of people being pulled onto a project late to try and meet deadlines, it is almost never a good thing and it is certainly not a good sign for that project. If it's a case of someone with very specific expertise being shared, or a long term plan to collaborate, then it's quite different.

I don't think you understand how many people work on huge AAA games...
Yeah, it's pretty common for big AAA games to have lots of different studios helping and assisting the project.
Lmao average AAA game has like 1500 people working on it or some shit if you include outsourcing
Yes, but they didn't use their other internal studios for it. If you check the credits, most of the other devs come from outsourcing studios.

after reading the posts here i realize that this isn't really thread-worthy news. i've reported the thread to be locked.
another example that gamers have no idea how much work goes into making video games. games are huge, complex engineering and artistic challenges. that requires talent.
also, not all 400 are devs working on infinite. 343 has marketing/brand people, people that work on other media formats, etc. wouldn't be surprised if the core development team at 343 is like 300 people
Red Dead Redemption 2 had about 2000 people work on it. Cyberpunk 2077 had at least 1000 IIRC and still had tons of issues.
These kind of huge games require an insane amount of people power.
