that's sick... many sources say that it was for production alone (doesn't include marketing).

I think the new Star Wars MMO will surpass all for having the highest budget.

it's dated. doesn't even have RDR in it.

Duke Nukem Forever.

Zanoh

there's no figures on that, except the $30 million that George Broussard spent his own money on it.

No chance. We're talking hundreds of millions of dollars with The Old Republic.

I thought that the answer was gonna be like 50 million. But holy god thats a lot of money. 100+ million???? thats crazy. Where do rockstar put aall the money? Im sure other companies could do it more efficiently. Also where do the likes of Final Fantasies fall into the budget list? They must cost a lot too

GT5 cost 80 mill, so far they sold around 7 million copies. so $60 per game x 7 million = $420 million dollars, wow they made back their money really fast.
