I have to disagree, "Massively multiplayer style, sci-fantasy action shooter" doesn't sound to me like a boring, over-done shooter game. To me, it sounds more akin to unicorn dragon tiger shark.It sounds to me like I'd rather just have Planetside 2 than be shaked for every nickel and dime I own.

You don't need more than 5% of your studio working on a game that you are shooting to release in ten years...Yay! Marathon will get the Duke Nukem Forever treatment! Great!Haters, left and right, not just you... but goddamn. Ye of little faith. Posted by: Kaiser TheGreat
Also, going for "T" rating?? WTFA T rating allows the game to be sold to a much broader audience. That is the bar, but if they don't make it a T rating, in no way is that a breach of contract. Quite honestly, I'm expecting mature.
Now, I have many concerns that everyone does. 2 years development time per game? That's a lot less than their usual 3 year dev cycle. The only thing that sort of calms my fears is that Destiny has had substantial pre-production time. I mean, it's been hinted at in ODST. So just imagine how long they've been working on it. Marcus Lehto headed up Reach's development.
What do you think Jason Jones was doing that entire time? Him and probably a small pre-production team have probably been in pre-production for a couple years. Planning this universe. Now we can only hope that all this pre-production cuts down on future installments pre-production. Which will make a 2 year dev cycle not that bad.
