In Response To: Re: Wake Up HBO (General Vagueness) : to me that would indicate it was just being done wrong I think it's a real concern, and history has proved me right so far. Think of it this way: You've got a soap opera. It gives you a new episode every day of the week. There are hundreds every year. But you look at it, and because the turnaround is so fast and because you have to do so many, each one gets less focus. And it turns out, most soap operas are cheap looking and lacking in quality narrative. Now look at a 1 hour drama, which releases 13 episodes a season. Because each episode can be developed longer, more care goes into the shooting, the writing, and the post production. You see these shows are generally of much higher quality than the soaps or dailies. So even though you get MORE episodes of the soap, the 1 hour drama ends up being better. So even though Spartan Ops might be equivalent to a campaign in terms of playtime, it WILL NOT BE equivalent in terms of quality. Mark my words, Spartan Ops will be nowhere near the official campaign in terms of quality, complexity, and replayability. I've seen tons of game genres try the episodic thing, and the same thing always happens: you get soaps. The time required to really make something worthwhile is over the reach of weekly releases, and if you spend the time then you just aren't episodic anymore (HL2).
