Food for thought: Gears of War 1 + 2 were made for less money than Metal Gear Solid 4 or Killzone 2. Which games, do you think, earned a better return, and will have a higher probability of seeing sequels? (Of course, KZ2 hasn't come out, but the deck is stacked against it in some ways).

Link it please.

 

You should probably be able to figure that one out by common sense.

I don't know the development cycle for Gears, but Gears 2 was two years.  How long was MGS4?  Five at least?

 

I would rather figure it with facts.  Do you have any?

 

I'm not the one who posted it first so I really don't care.  As I said, I use common sense to figure it out so no need to look for the articles. 

Both games have reasonbly large teams but one game took more time than the others to finish.  Both games are very high on quality, quality takes time and money.  Longer time spent means more money spent.

You're wrong. It's obvious to me that Gears 2 cost as much as MGS4, FFXIII, and Killzone 2 combined.

After all, Epic had to spend a load of money to develop Unreal Engine 3 just for Gears. They don't make any money on that engine from other games.

They also didn't receive an assload of money from MS for publishing rights.

I can also fly.
