1. Everyone is in sin without Christ. I'm not forcing you to believe me on this, nor am I attempting to insult you. I sin too (regretably) but I have accepted Christ and God is turning my heart away from sin more throughout my life. I seek to be disciplined in Christ. I am sorry that you have felt insulted by me but that is not what I desire to do.

2. I have posted a number of things on this forum that don't have to do with my faith. It simply came up in this case and that's why we are talking about it now. I don't try to shove my faith down people's throats, but I also don't hide away from expressing it when people question me on things or when it is the reason for something. 


OT: This game always seems to break budget records. It's truly incredible.

You know honestly I am surprised it's not more, GTA IV cost $100m without marketing.

I think Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire and Max Payne 3 all cost similiar amounts to develop as well. Rockstar certainly spend well though.

I'm pretty new to the Vgchartz community (Nintendo fanboy here<<<) but there seems to be a lot of incredibly inappropriate pictures displayed on people's profile images or in their signiture section. I like to discuss things about videogames and not have to worry about seeing porn.

GTA5 isn't just a game.

The budget is so high due to online which is basically a 2nd game.

Even without online it's like 5 full games in 1.

Based on a report from Scottish newspaper The Scotsman, Rockstar’s upcoming open-world game Grand Theft Auto V was made on a marketing and development budget of £170 million (or $265 million). This makes it the most expensive video game production in history. In comparison with Hollywood films, it is second only to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End - the current record-holder for the most expensive film production – which had a $300 million budget.

In development for the past five years, Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar have put everything into making sure GTA V is the greatest open-world game ever. With over 2.5 million pre-orders already in just the US, analysts are expecting it to be one of the most-sold games of this console generation. GTA IV has so far sold over 25 million copies; how well will GTA V do?

GTA V launches worldwide on September 17 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Have you pre-ordered your copy yet?

I always tought it was around 130-150 million, I am still not sure if that number is accurate

The information in this quote is actually far from being accurate 300 million$ for production + marketing of a blockbuster is actually common these days...

 

This summer alone there were around 5 movies released with a production + marketing budget superior to GTA 5 amount.

Iron Man 3 cost 200 million$ to produce and over 300 million$ for total costs.

Man of Steel cost 225 million$ to produce and estimates put total costs including marketing at 300 million$ +.

Lone Ranger cost 375 million$ to produce + market. ( production was around 215 million$ so as you can see marketing costs can be huge)

Pacific Rim cost 330 million$ to produce + market.

World War Z cost 190 million$ to produce and probably around 300 million$ for total cost.



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
