| Zim said: Nintendoman you could have at least read other posts before making yours. I already gave you the cost for Lost Planet, $40million. 20million for development, 20million for advertising. GoW cost $10mill however that is without advertising costs, that were probably also in the region of $20mill if not higher (I personally certainly saw more adverts for GoW than LP). GoW cost so little because Epic basically already had the game half made because of the unreal engine. |
Yup, especially after I explained why a high budget costs more than 45M$. I think 10-12M$ was the price for games released early in the generation that didn't really take that great graphics. We're talking about the highest budget games here: GTA, Killzone 2, FFXIII and Gran Turismo. I also think that both FFXIII and GT will cost about the same as GTAIV to make. GT5 because it's a massive game with extremely detailed car and FFXIII because SE spends a lot on CGI and they are extremely inefficient unlike Epic.
How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
