Poorly reference article. We don't know where the information came from nor what each value actually represents.

ditto

I doubt TooHuman cost THAT much to produce, otherwise we would be seeing a very strong market push. Either way, i think there's a good chance siliconkights will lose money on the project based off the point that they had to scratch the UE3 and remake one ground up. The 'TooHuman" project was cursed from the start.

It seems it was. Although, his article doesn't have much credibility.

FFXII and FFIX cost 40 million?? damn well atleast FFIX was worth it.

Oh lord, that Too Human figure is going to rile up the Too Human fanboys.

How many of these were money pits then? I think only two right? Too Human and Shenmue.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

Well FF9 sold more than FF12.....so it was financially worth it.

Well, Silicon Knights is going to lose money. I just don't see Too Human selling enough to make 80,000,000

 

That depends.  How many copies have to be sold to make 80 mil in renvue?

It is totally irrelevant how many copies have to be sold to make 80 mil in revenue.  You could have revenue of 500billion and zero profits.  What they need is 80 million in profits to even break even.  With the game selling so poorly first week it has as much chance of breaking even as I have of learning how to fly and flying into the clouds in the next 10 seconds.

square enix big titles (FF KH DQ) are always HUGE budget game
ffx cost was more than 30 million, that was ps2 game!

only spin off end up with being low cost (kh spin off, crisis core)

2. Shenmue, $70,000,000: this was 8 years ago so it still cost more than GTA IV when inflation is taken into account.
