Never understood why it needed so much money. It looks like a fairly simple game.


Compare Shenmue to the games of its time. Shenmue was leaps and bounds above nearly everything of the day in terms of technology.  And I believe the engine and everything else was proprietary.  Plus that was the budget for 1/2/cancelled saturn version.

Plus, didn't they have to create a whole new engine from scratch for Shenmue?  Including artists, scupltors etc...?  They shouldn't need nearly as much, since they're using Unreal 4 as their engine.
