My guess is the constant start/scrap/restart cycle it apparently went through. |
Shenmue was a huge game for the time of its release. I think it had by far the best graphics of any Dreamcast game at the point of its release, it was released on 4 CD's. I never played it but I still own a magazine with a Shenmue test in it and was quite interested in the game back in the Dreamcast days. The game was huge, there were dozens of person you could talk to, the game featured a "real-time" day and night system (one hour was roughly 5 minutes) etc.
I'm not sure if the costs were actually that high but it was surely huge for its time.
