Squilliam on 20 May 2009
| Max King of the Wild said: squil - id still put the dev and market cost down a bit. but as it stands its the most reasonable one yet. on marketing cost - the reason i say lower isnt any data i have but for this reason... wasnt Halo 3s ad campaign 30million? 30million would put kz2s campaign 2/3rds of Halo 3s... and Halo 3s was HUGE. They had MD flavor AND I remember seeing ads run on prime time on the most notable channels. I never saw a KZ2 ad. the reason is because the advertized on cable channels (which i dont get). basically i dont see how the ad campaign is close to Halo 3s... at least here in USA |
Halos Ad campaign cost more than the game to develop. But yeah 40M is high I was satisfying the nay sayers. I used to be one of the people who said it cost bla bla amount but I did some research so I know its less than $40,000,000 but I cannot tell by how much.
As for the total, $60M is high but the fact that the numbers work for a high estimate proves my point that the game is likely profitable even if they want to factor in the kitchen sink.
Tease.
