Half-Life 2: Episode One Update [Feb 27, 2006, 12:05 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A new
Steam Update (thanks Frans) on Half-Life 2: Episode One discusses the add-on's plot and describes Valve's frustration at Half-Life 2's six-year development
cycle as one reason for the move to episodic content. The update includes a
thumbnail with a broken link to
this screenshot and a broken link to the recent
Robin Walker Q&A on Computer and Video Games.
How can it take 6 years to make levels that have Nothing in them besides a couple head crabs + a switch to open a door?
Where do you think they got the models for those head crabs? Or the textures to put on the head crabs?
What I'm getting at is, game development has become extremely expensive and time-consuming, because many people don't like to play games that don't have state-of-the-art graphics. A lot of those same people don't care if the game only lasts 6 hours as a result. Valve has got this all figured out.
