It is pretty bad, but thankfully looks like a RE:UC caliber game, so it can't be hurting Capcom too much. If RE5 had done so pathetic though... @_@

Actually, I believe the game's director said the budget for the game was around $20 million...

Bomba totale!



Biggest Capcom flop. Practically every game they've put out has at least sold a million copies on 360



Not sure if it's the biggest, but given the budget relative to sales it's probably guaranteed a spot in the Top 5.

it's not even close to Too Human. if i remember correctly MS gave 80+mln$ as a development budget for the first part of the trilogy and then there's PR and huge advertisment campaign. i wouldn't be suprised if the whole Too Human project took 100+mln$ from MS pocket.
Bionic Commando budget was "only" 20mln.



It's going to take a lot to beat Too Human haha.

Not true on 2 accounts.  First, Free Radical didn't go out of business.  They got bought out before it could happen.  Believe it was Crytek that bought them out.  Second, Haze wasn't a huge flop.  Sure it wasn't a success but that's not what broke the bank for Free Radical.  What broke them was they were working on Timesplittlers 4 based on their own money.  At the same time they were working on Star Wars Battlefront 3.  Basically Lucasarts was the one funding them at the time until they could find a publisher for TS4 and when Lucasarts dropped them from the project they were in trouble.  So much invested in 2 products with nothing to show broke the bank.  Haze didn't help as it didn't bring any publishers calling for them.  But Haze certainly wasn't the main issue that happened there.  If anything it was Lucasarts stopping the money train.  Sad to considering SWBF3 looked great. 



No i think Too Human is.

No, no, it's LBP. That game flopped like crazy. Only 2.2 million. Or maybe KZ2, just 1.8 million D=
