Forums - Sony - Rumour: Final Fantasy XIII Versus will be a PS4 exclusive, budget will be 120m+

$120m budget? For a game being exclusively released on a single new platform.

My general disbelief in the above paired "facts" has no bearing on their truth, but that sounds like a really poor business decision.

$120M budget for a game on a console with an unknown userbase? I can't wait to see the consequences if this rumor is true.



120mil aint that much considering it will sell 1mil 1st week in Japan alone.



What a stupid rumour.

Side note, the actual development of the game didn't start until September 2011, and slowed down again due to XIV disaster.

If FFVsXIII releases exclusive in Japan PS4 will sellout and the Japanese people will even start to pay just to take a glimpse at the machine.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

$120 million i huge for a game. Isn't that more than Halo 4's and GTA 4's budget? I wonder if its the most expensive game ever developed?

Took this off Wiki

Star Wars The Old Republic-

"Although BioWare has not disclosed development costs, industry leaders and financial analysts have estimated it to be between $150 million and $200 million. If accurate, this would make it the most expensive video game ever developed."



Why would this thread warrant a ban?

Anyway I heard something similar, it seems just to be rumours in my opinion. I think Square Enix have been very disrespectful to the fans.

They said this would be a PS3 game, FF fans bought a PS3 just for Final Fantasy, now they might have to buy a PS4 for a game they waited 6 years for.

The game has had a lot of development problems apparently so that explains the delay. Hopefully they manage to sort all that out and get the game out for the PS3 and the PS4, like what Blizzard are doing with Diablo 3.

WOW, $200 million for 1 game is huge. That's more than what most movies cost to develop these days :0.
