I hope this generation lasts for a long time, longer than the 5 year normal cycle.
The more it costs to develop, the less big games we will have
tombi123 said: I remember someone posting on here a while back, that the developers get about $24 for each game sold. That seems reasonable, so to break even you need to sell: 833,333 copies. Uncharted has sold 1,250,000 copies, meaning: $10,000,000 profit on this game so far. I think Naughty Dog are making Uncharted a trilogy. The other two games will cost less, wont they? |
The next Uncharted will be much cheaper to make, assuming they use the same engine and just tweak it. This is what Epic is doing with UE3 for Gears 2.
