Forums - Gaming - Red Dead Redemption may have cost $100 million to make

Good god... first I discover that versus is in production since 2003 and now this... the industry is really mad these days... not only rockstar, but most of them...

Old news. Game development was completely fucked up several times and the game needs 5m to break even.

This is from the Daily Mail... not a respectable newspaper. I wouldn't trust this at all until I get some confirmation from other sources, even the Times, a more respectable newspaper, stated this weekend that FIFA 10 had sold 4.7m copies (EA said 10m).

So don't trust the Daily Mail, or any other newspapers, if you did you wouldn't be eating anything for fear of cancer

wahahahaha!

Didn't they say banana's can give you cancer too? & Haribo's!!

The source was updated. The game needs 4 million sales at full price to break even.



Good news for Rockstar that there's a really good chance I'll pick this game up, despite it not even being on my radar until I watched a video review of it.

This game deserves to be profitable. So whatever the "magic" number is for profitability I hope they reach it and surpass it.

Game is badass.

Probably. Rockstar have already gone on record as saying they need to sell 5 million copies just to break even.

Ouch they must be expecting great things for this game



100m well spent. You gotta go big to make an impact.
