| Diomedes1976 said: Gears of War was 10 million I remember hearing . And Namco said that with 500K worlwide they could break even with a HD game .So if they make say 30 dollars on each game that means their budget would be 15 million dollars .I think that was for big productions ,as it is not reasonable to think any game that doesnt break 500K worlwide is dragging down its responsables . I also heard a PSP game was 600 000 dollars ,and a DS one half that . As the PSP development costs were about the same as the Cube and PS2 after this ... http://www.psprumors.com/2005/08/15/psp-shares-same-development-budget-as-cube/ At 20 million (if its true ) I think Uncharted is one of the more expensive PS3 games to date .I am sure Insomniac did with far less budget games as Ratchet and Clank and Resistence . |
Gears cost $10 mil. to develop, but $20 mil. after marketing. We don't know if the Uncharted figure includes marketing costs or not.
