Forums - Gaming - Modern Warfare 2 cost revealed

I don't believe that MW2 produce cost was 40-50m $. 40/50m $ for what ? They had an engine, experienced developer and the game isn't that different from MW. Now we know why they want games to be more expensive, because they're unable to spend money properly. Gears of War 2 cost was 12m $ for gods sake !

that's only the money Epic spend on this game, but not the game development budget. plus there was quite a lot of stars doing voice acting for MW2. not to mention the fact that since sony make other publishers hold servers for their games cost of holding MW2 servers for ps3 gamers is quite high.



WOW thats how much titanic cost!

10 million discs is an awful lot to print and ship. Probably cost at least $50 million right there.

no wonder Activision bumped up the price of MW2.
Halo 3 had 300mln ad campaign so 150mln is possible. makes me wonder how much did KZ2 cost - afterall it's the most expensive game that had the most expensive campaign out of all Sonys games. i though it was about 65-70mln budget for the whole game development and about 30-35mln campaign, but now i wouldn't be suprisd if it was 140-150mln project. heck, even Left 4 Dead 2 had like 35-50mln campaign(Valve alone spend more than 25mln on it and there's also MS money). we may have more flops on hd consoles than we previously thought.


^thats scarey



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

$200 million sounds quite ridiculous. And the game cost $40 million to make??? For what? The game still looks like crap, it has the same engine, same multiplayer, short campaign and some maps. If thats true, they must be bad at managing money. I could actually see them spending $100 million on advertising and marketing but its mainly the actual game; I don't know how it cost $40 million.




nice =D lol i wish they gave me some of the money instead of a few ads on TV lol
