Budgeting isn't included in the total cost because it is a separate budget. These companies intentionally inflate the numbers so they pay less in taxes.

This is not a new trend. And if you give your CEO $30 million per year and a game takes 5 years, you just add that $150million to the budget (CNN).

"Or was it i̶n̶f̶o̶r̶m̶e̶d̶ guesswork from analysts?"

Video game budgets will always be fictional, just like Hollywood movies. Unless there are receipts it's all speculation.

And Take Two has a marketing department with an already approved budget (just like studios in Hollywood).

The trailer including gameplay was 4k 30fps on a base PS5. The base PS5 can do 1440p which would mean a jump in FPS. It also supports 120Hz refresh rate at 1440.

So based on what the console can do, it makes no sense to be at that low resolution with that low fps.

The Dreamcast was the biggest gamble and way ahead of its time.

On time to what?

It will be released on time: when it is done.

DF isn't what they used to be.

Of course it did. Who says it didn't?

Killzone 2 says hi.

Initial trailer "omg, no way that's real!"

Game: looks even better.

Because for the PC Master Race, everything is supposedly better on their platform, and even it's not, it's the console manufacturer's fault.

It's all an either/or competition for them. The concept of owning both a PC and console and playing on both is anathema to their very existence.

It's very odd behavior.

You're forgetting to make "year" plural.

How's all those other console games that never came to PC?

Lol

Most of the people here don't understand non disclosure agreements.

This game was under $50.

What are you talking about?

And do you know that they're early access was before these articles? Very high. Most people are waiting for more content.

Same. I'm still on Unicorn Overlord. I might save this for summer, when I can play all night and really dive deep.

I tried to buy straight from Nintendo. I signed up for the prebuy.

I got an email yesterday saying I could buy it after launch. After they talked all that shit about avoiding scalpers.

410d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

Correct. I put in my interest. Had the Nintendo account since conception. No email to avoid scalpers.

Thanks Nintendo, for nothing.

He's not wrong. There are talented, great devs who made games then quit because of online vitriol from a tiny group of shitstirrers.

Wow, you hate a game you couldn't possibly have played yet. Or you hate a game that you couldn't possibly have played. How original.

Normal people (because you never hear from them) when they don't like a game, don't care and move on. They don't waste their time talking shit about it.
