I don’t know, i was kind of blown away by the length of the end credits screen in call of duty. I reckon there were several thousand names listed there.

Fwiw this demo is on another level than call of duty. The world feels huge, extremely busy - there’s cars and people everywhere - and so varied.

Indeed, but the truth is it's just a demo, now when you add all the rest that's needed to make a real game you start to have issues that woudn't have with a demo.

I remember reading that the end credits of Red Dead Redemption 2 was something like 7000 people

Red Dead Redemption II (PS4) Credits

7318 people (4132 developers, 3186 thanks)

Depends on what they all do I suppose. For a franchise tie in, there were probably a lot of people not doing the actual content production.

For AAA quality? Not that many I think. Sure it's not a game but then production wasn't for as long either.

It’s all relative as Einstein once said.
