Uncharted's budget was $20M... I was pretty amazed too. Such an amazing game built from scratch (zero lines of code from PS2 days), new tool chain, lots of motion capture studio time, real actors, 1 year pre-production and 2 years production, custom sound track, etc. Sounds cheap for so many thing but the lead designer confirmed that $20M was all.

So all those naysayers that keep saying that PS3 games are too expensive can stop talking shit now ;)

PS: Lair was more expensive than $20M, rofl. Pretty ironic, Naughty Dog rocks. 

20 mil is cheap now?

That's still way more than last gen, and if it's true then they seem to have budgeted well seeing as how the much crappier lair was more expensive.

It's pretty cheap for a next-gen game... expensive for me ;)

Give us some comparison budget please?

I know FF's budget will KILL this. but Lair is a pretty terrible comparison, that's probably the only PS3 game that bombed hard.

Wait, what? That's expensive. It isn't Killzone2 expensive, but it's very expensive all the same.

Why would you post this as proof of how cheap the PS3 is, when it's apparent that pretty much everyone else agrees that this is, in fact, great evidence that the system is expensive to develop for?
