You think FF13 cost less that 35 Million?

Buddy let me tell you, the amount of time they spent of graphics is astronomical which is undoubtedly the larger part of a game's budget.

That's all you care about, eh?

Anyway, Splinter Cell isn't even an exclusive. It's available on PC.

Stop trolling and enjoy gaming.

Splinter Cell going multiplat would be more a whimper than a bang. It was a big disappointment IMO. It wasn't even that big of a franchise to begin with.

And quit calling wolf with the trolling accusations. Just because you disagree with somebody doesn't mean that the other person is trolling.

That list is based on a  article that is 2 years old, so FFXIII costs won't be there.

And they don't have costs for all games, because FFX is missing.

FFXIII should have cost a lot, but remember FFXII was in dev for LONGER than FF13, FF12 actually had a 2003 release date at one point believe it or not.

The first direct release date FF13 got was a 2008 one & it got delayed till 09. So FF13 will cost more than XII but not by that much more.

No, it's safe to say they don't know the game's budget.

Gran turismo 5 for example is not on the list... but I believe is one of the most expensive games ever. But it's just a believing.

I think it is a bad move to make it multi. lot of people bought a ps3 from hearing about these 2 games in 2006 alone. I think they might actually send death threats to Wada. Hey, they did it to Kojima. But, just like Tetsuya Nomura, Kojima is the lead and director of MGS4 as to Nomura the lead and director of Versus XIII and agito XIII.

dtewi said: TBH, that was a little expected. Now who was it that yelled at me for hoping it'd be multiplat. Looking at you DARTH.

When did  I say that? lol

After reading through the read I'd like to make a couple points clear:

-The 360 version in no way ruined the PS3 version, porting a game did not mean taking people out of the "Making Dungeons" section and force them to work on the "Porting" section. Porting is most likely done by a different group then those in charge of the core content. Also adding this, why would a company suddenly decide that if they're porting a game that dungeons should suddenly be cut or not made?

-Square Enix is a company and that means that they want to maximize profits while at the same time keeping fans happy. Of course they will port the game and not isolate almost one and a half million FF gamers on the 360.

-All that has been determined is the PS3 version is superior due to superficial reasons which in no way hinder or augment the enjoyment of the core game. I have yet to see a shred of proof which clearly states that porting the game rendered some gameplay elements impossible to create and had to be cut.

These games were announced long ago, when a promise of a game staying exclusive was much more likely to hold true. The word 'exclusive' is twisted a lot already though, Microsoft presented games for the 360 that were 'exclusive' despite being on the PC as well at last year's E3. So anything that looks like an exclusive will be used for PR.

sorry i was not having a jab at you personally i just hate it when people come into a thread and start throwing around things like this i had to give an example of how other companies do the same things:):)

how ya been??
