Quote:Because they have corporate people above them saying "ship the game soon", or because they are more capable than 3DRealms of saying "that is enough", I'm sure.
How long did it take Valve to make Half-Life 2? How long did it take Nintendo to make Twilight Princess? How long did it take Sony to make ICO/Shadow of the Colossus? How long did it take Epic to make Gears of War? How long did it take Bethesda to make Oblivion? How long did it take Square to make Final Fantasy XII? How long did it take Retro to make Metroid Prime?
Most of those games took about 3 or 4 years. Think about that.
