$15 million, 1/4 cost? nononono KZ2 will probably cost about or a little over $100,000,000 once you factor everything in.

Just development vs development its >10M vs ~60 or ~1:6 between The Conduit and Killzone 2.

 

Yep those launch parties cost a truckload.  Especially the jewel-encrusted party hats.

Man... The Conduit.  I can't wait for that one.  A milestone in quality gaming development.  Less than two years for the greatest shooter to ever hit the Wii... good times ahead!

so does it mean you agree that games with similar scale would cost a lot more to develope on HD consoles than Wii?

I just want to see it come to a conclusion after all the arguements everyone put in. Right now it's like watching a movie without an ending.
