@riachu: mocap is expensive =) japanese game budgets are tight.

MGS4 was a Japanese developed game.  It even cost 50-60 million to develop.  Beside, I'm sure mocap is expensive but it can't be prohibitly expensive.

 

 

MGS4, like FF13 burned through some of the highest budgets ever seen in Japan (besides the Shemmue anomaly, ofc...). They are the exceptions.

Mocap is expensive and while not prohibitely so, budgets are very strained this gen. ps3/x360 development costs are through the roof.
