Magister Lajciak Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 How big is Obsidian Entertainment these days? I thought Obsidian had about 100 people or just over that number, but recent announcements seem to hint that it is substantially larger than that. I gather that from the fact that it is working simultaneously on Alpha Protocol, the next Fallout title, perhaps still slightly on Aliens (in suspended animation?) and on several unnannounced projects. That is a LOT.
crakkie Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 It seems like 3 development teams plus administrative staff would be at least 100 people, and there may be 4 or 5 consecutive projects... Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go.
Humodour Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I'd say 2 major projects + 2 or three smaller ones (including big projects in the early stages of production, expansions, etc). That sounds about right for a studio of 100 (I think the real number was actually about 120 last I heard). It'd be nice for somebody to dig up the real value, though.
Gfted1 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 This says 150 peeps. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Humodour Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 That's pretty big. Enough for about 4 or 5 dedicated development teams. So certainly enough to work on at least 3 major games simultaneously.
Magister Lajciak Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 I agree. Having 150 people is a pretty nice size for a game development company.
Humodour Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) I agree. Having 150 people is a pretty nice size for a game development company. Holy ****, Blizzard has over 1000! Edit: that's 1000, not 1000! Edited April 24, 2009 by Krezack
Trenitay Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I don't get it. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
Magister Lajciak Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 I agree. Having 150 people is a pretty nice size for a game development company. Holy ****, Blizzard has over 1000! That may well be, but Blizzard is also its own publishes, not just a developer. On top of that, Blizzard has World of Warcraft and all the support staff who are associated with that. Edit: that's 1000, not 1000! Lol, I think we all understood that you mean 1000 and not 1000x999x998x997x996x995x994....

It saddens me that someone like Bobby "exploited every year on every platform" Kotick has his greasy mitts on Blizzard. :concernedwarcraftfan: Edited April 25, 2009 by Syraxis
Sannom Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I don't get it. Does the "!" after the "1000" means something special??? If not, then I'm the one not getting it
Gorth Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Some spam pruned. Lets just say, not quite as big as Blizzard? Yet? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
