Oftest er der kun angivet én udvikler på store spil, men i virkeligheden er der dog som regel mange udviklere involveret i produktionen af såkaldte AAA-titler. Dette kan indebære outsourcing af specifikke funktioner eller blot at levere ekstra kapacitet.
Dette er endnu mere almindeligt blandt store udgivere, og det er for eksempel ingen hemmelighed, at stort set hele Activision-organisationen har været involveret i Call of Duty-spillene. Nu bekræfter Xbox-chefen Matt Booty, at Playgrounds Games' kommende Fable er ingen undtagelse og at studiet modtager hjælp. I den seneste episode af Official Xbox Podcast fortæller han, hvordan Xbox Game Studios understøtter hinanden på forskellige måder:
"We've really seen a lot, once we build those connections, of teams starting to share things with each other. Our team in Vancouver, The Coalition, they are really our center of excellence for Unreal Engine work, and that is benefiting the teams, for example, at Bryan Fargo's studio in Exile, working on Clockwork Revolution. They're able to benefit from all of the really technical work that they're doing up at The Coalition."
Han fortsætter derefter med at liste flere eksempler på dette, og nævner her specifikt Fable:
"There are other examples. We've got the Blizzard Cinematics team helping out on Fable. We've got our studio in Montreal, Compulsion Games, using the Activision Mo Cap studio. We've got, I think, the team at Rare, a lot of multiplayer experience working on Sea of Thieves, helping out Double Fine on Kiln, the pottery game. There's a lot of examples of that."
Blizzards videoteam er et af de absolut bedste i branchen, og det lyder selvfølgelig enormt lovende, at deres ekspertise bliver brugt til at levere virkelig gode cutscenes og lignende i Fable, synes du ikke?
