Go Easy On Game Developers! It’s Harder Than You Think!

The hard working developers over at Bungie put a lot of work into Halo 3 for well over 3 years, working to make the game as perfect as they could. But even after all their efforts, there were still complaints. Some people went on about how the A.I. wasn’t perfect, or how the game had to stretch a WHOLE 70 pixels so they could dedicate more power to dynamic lighting engine, thus making the game not TRUE High Def. Talk about picky… on a whole 70 pixels on 1080 pixels? I don’t think a lot of gamers understand the amount of work that has to go into making a game. Now I know there are a number of games that were obviously released well before they were complete, but a lot seem to be setting the standard a little too high.

Popular Science Magazine recently published an article about just how difficult it really is to get a game to work, and goes into comparing how difficult programing an AI can be to doing something close to impossible in life! Its rather interesting, so read through it and see just what gamers have to go though.
