Both MGS2 and MGS3 were also said by Hideo to be the last Metal Gear Solid games as well. So its most likely not true since they already have talked about MGS5 in several podcasts.

Yea, that's what I figured. Just PR hype. If they do make a MGS5, I am sure they can leverage a very large amount of the costs incurred during this incarnation, thus spreading a lot of that 70 million over two games. 

Wasnt the 1024p resolution and 30fps already confirmed by Kojima ? I remember him saying that he only wants to make games at full 1024p :?

Kojima says alot of things and people have a bad habbit of believing everything he says. Unless confirmed by Konami there's very little of his bragging which we can take to heart.

 Did you want me to congratulate him for making a terrible thread title?

WAIT WAIT

Does the game really cost 70M $ ???

I can't believe it.

where are the links ?

Off the sticker price of a video game, various parties make money such as the developer, the publisher, the retailer...etc. Right now you're assuming that the developers' share of every game is about $10 (I'll assume that too) and that the developer shouldered that pricetag alone.

However, what if the publishered chipped in and took part of that cost? Let's say for the point of this example that the publisher's normal share would be $30 a game (the rest goes into overhead).

Now we're no longer looking at $70,000,000 vs $10 but $70,000,000 vs $40. The number of copies needed to break even is no longer 7,000,000 but rather 1,750,000. That looks much easier to make doesn't it?

I don't think any of those numbers accurately reflect reality but, at the same time, I'd speculate that they're not too far off.

Really? My bad :P

But still Uncharted has better graph0x. 

It's just made up, there's no proof of a budget yet.
