How Much does a Big name Videogame COST to Make ?
Roughly, what is the budget for a big name video game ?
something which is on a few different platforms are we looking at 10million ? more ? |
I'd say on big-name games you're in the ballpark, especially ones like sports games that have to license a lot of their material. I'd say for a majority of them it may be slightly less than $10 million.

I believe Final Fantasy VII was around $35 mil, and Good God does it show.
I wonder about something like Metal Gear Solid.. anyone? |
New graphics engine costs money, part 2's usually cost a lot less.

N'Gai Croal, "The Art of the Game," Newsweek, March 6, 2000, p. 61 "The average budget to produce a game on Sega's Genesis on the '90s was about $200,000. For today's PlayStation and Nintendo 64, it's around $2 million. Many designers expect development costs for a PlayStation 2 game to jump to at least $4 million." |
