The only plausible reason is perhaps that they needed first a lot of licenses for music, more voice actors than usual and motion capturing. However if this amount is true than that means we're going to see a lot of advertising everywhere on this world and perhaps the costs of a PC/next-gen versions are included. |
The op is completely off base with budget comparisons to movies.
Most big budget movies have $100-$150 million advertising budgets alone. Production budgets on them are often $150 -250 million.
Besides that, thats a shitload of money being spent on that game.
