I think they will never return those 100 million...

 

[Elder Legend]

Good, glad its wasted. That's what you get for being out of touch and making a shit game that no one wanted in the first place that uses a super outdated crappy engine. Get fucked.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

i heard it was 75M (i guess plus marketing would be 100M)

if 100M just to develop.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Yikes.

[Shut0wen]

Would of thought it costed more then that

I like the "and the players are BAFFLED" in the articles headline

 

[PJX]

Not sure how that thing cost $100 million to make. Over bloated and bad financial management is my guess.

[BbMajor7th]

Man, being told you look 'a million dollars' just became an insult.

Totally reminded me of this:

 

[Jimmyisback]

Sony wasted tens of millions makings this exclusive for two years. Money well spent. At least it cushioned the blow a little show square enix. But terrible result nonetheless.

 

[gothmog]

I'm hoping FF16 is a YoshiP fueled return to form. And if it is they should just let him run the company.

 

[squidilix]

Is not that "so much" at least... maybe a bit too much for Square but...yeah.... i'm excpected a bit more. Pretty sure FFXV costing more than this.

 

[Punished Miku]

Why are there no new AAA IPs?

 

[feynoob]

imagine if all of us here can at least get 0.5% of that money.
I would not have to work for 10 years.
Just enjoying drinking Martinez and bathing on sunshine.

I'm amazed of how much of a butthurt bitch you are about this game that most people already forgot about.

[SportsFan581]

Ain't no way in hell.

I think they should start investigating potential embezzlement, only possible explanation.

In other news, Tabata is working on some NFT bullshit. He'd be my prime suspect.

Where did all the money go? GOW, HFW, or Callisto Protocol have very high production values and that shows. Forspoken looks like a turd.

they are, once in a blue moon

All the money went into downgrading it.

 

[Stuart360]

I guess the majoriy of the money went into wages over multiple years.
I guess so anyway as some games you can see that budget on screen, this is NOT one of those games.

 

[Bragr]

Long development time, I think it was something like 4-5 years.

In this game all the budget is behind the screen. They started with the FFXV code base. They had to untangle code for the car, and the busted teleport system, and then convert it into magic sneakers on a game engine designed to please Tetsuya Nomura. Might as well ask them to divide by zero.

 

[KingT731]

Aint no way in hell that's true. You can tell as much from the credits.

 

[SlimySnake]

If I was Sony, I would want my money back. They probably bought the exclusivity after seeing the original footage and were straight up scammed by SE in the end.

What they paid for:

What they got:

 

[64gigabyteram]

they sold tomb raider & hitman to fund this garbage.

Square Enix is quite possibly the most retarded company in gaming right now

 

[Nydius]

25 minutes a negative Forspoken article has been on the front page and rofif hasn't yet come galloping in to tell us how the game is the greatest thing since sliced bread and totally worth the 100M budget? I'm shocked!

 

[Myths]

Yipes!!! That FFXV engine had terrible looking lighting imo… no type of ambient lighting. I don't know anything though.

What they got:

Yeah, i would have been way more interested jn this game if it wasn't so severely dowgraded. This is watchdogs 1/ aliens colonial marines levels of bad.

 

[Tomi]

Babylon's Fall + Forspoken

They could make so many great games with that money

[GymWolf]

How much did they payed for a failed actress like ballinska and the black chick who is in basically every videogame from the past 5 years?

 

[Mossybrew]

 

[winjer]

What a waste of money.

Fuck i think i may have pulled the trigger day one if it really did end up looking like the earlier footage. Even with the other issues.

In a vacuum the release games areas look fine, but compared to that clearly bullshot trailer, yeah ....

You sound mad lol

Why are AAA games so homogenous and uninventive? I can't figure it out.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

100 million? For that game?

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

 

[Kvally]

How much did they payed black chick
