Here's the video.

1.Destiny : $500,000,000

2. Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 : $277,168,973. Apparently 200 million spent on marketing alone.

3.Grand Theft Auto V : $275,568,302

4. Final Fantasy VII : $214,481,334

5. Star Wars : The Old Republic : $211,481,334

6. Too Human : $110,473,147

7. Red Dead Redemption : $109,078,902.
The video mentions random trivia about each game so I chuckled when they mentioned the achievement concerning "One achievement can only be unlocked by throwing a girl onto railroad tracks towards an oncoming train"

8. Max Payne 3 : $108,776,623

9. Halo MMO(cancelled) : $103,243,337

10. Dead Pool 2013 : $102,100,246

Its by yahoo so I don't how reliable these numbers are(although they do mention their sources in the video)

Throw me on railroad tracks if old.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

What the what!? Why was Deadpool so expensive?

 

[Windam]

$500 million? Wat no way this list is accurate

 

[Vinc]

They said multiple times that Destiny did not cost anywhere near 500 million, so I guess that list isn't reliable.

 

[DarthWalden]

There was a cancelled halo Mmo?

Yeah, those numbers are somewhere between out of context and completely made up, most likely.

 

[Portugeezer]

So I just want to ask already:

WHAT IS THE FUCKING DEAL WITH THE DESTINY BUDGET? $500mil is legit?

No speculative answer please.

 

[Drkirby]

I want to know where that FFVII figure came from, because I have never head a claim it cost so much to produce.

 

[BeforeU]

How come we heard nothing about Halo MMO. I mean no leak what so ever and was cancelled? Who was developing it?

And 200M for MW2 marketing? That cant be right. And that Destiny 500M isnt for one game. This list is flawed.

 

[Shard]

I do not see the likes of Shenmue and Wing Commander Prophecy on the list, this seems suspect.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So I just want to ask already:

WHAT IS THE FUCKING DEAL WITH THE DESTINY BUDGET? $500mil is legit?

No speculative answer please.

500 million for the entire franchise not just Destiny 1.

 

[RealityPales]

What the what!? Why was Deadpool so expensive?

I had to double check to see if it was the same Deadpool I played... Wow

 

[Enthus]

I wonder if EA has recouped the costs of the TORtanic yet.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Dubious source to say the least.

Checks list, sees $500 million for Destiny

Yeah, I think we're done here folks.

Ensemble I think

 

[Swamped]

Wow these numbers are insane! Haven't watched the video yet, but are these 2014 dollars? Would there be a substantial difference between dollars from ~15 years ago and today?

 

[Dmonzy]

They said multiple times that Destiny did not cost anywhere near 500 million, so I guess that list isn't reliable.

There are many people from both Bungie and Activision claiming both sides.

 

[Jarrod38]

I wonder if we will ever see a video game cost a billion to make.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Wow I don't think that list is legit.

A lot of games don't show their budget, and I can think of many that probably broke the bank.

 

[Omega]

isn't this list bullshit?

i thought when it came out that GTA V had a 265 million dollar budget that it was the most expensive game made to date and only a handful of movies spent more to make.

 

[Chakan]

10. Dead Pool 2013 : $102,100,246

Seriously?!?

 

[ModBot]

With Deadpool listed at over $100 million, I think we can safely assume there's something notably wrong with this list.
