Halo 4 is an expensive game...

I was looking through another forum, and I saw a link to this.

That is a lot. Okay, I think I’m getting my money’s worth… What I’m buying is at .00000001 percent of the total budget. This answers my question that I had a long time ago.

I bet 80mil was for IGN’s review.

Who’s with me? puts hand in the air No-one? alright. puts hand down

But seriously I do hope this game gets good scores because it does look very good. Also I hope that the money that’s gone into this game does work out for the best. Because once Microsoft knows that there investment was good, imagine how much money will go into Halo 5.

Too be more specific what you are buying pays about 0.0000002% of it. Very close though. Assuming you bought standard.

Read the link wrong, saw the 3 billion as being only Halo 4 when it is the franchise entirely.

what exactly did they spend the money on? -Yoink!-?

although Im glad halo 4 is getting as much support (/money) as it has I find it to be even more disappointing, from the looks of it they would of been better off remaking halo 2 or 3.

double post.

I was giving a little example. No, I bought the LE, and that number is more accurate.

Edited: Oh, okay. Nevermind. I know it was franchise factor. Kinda like the Dodger Stadium situation.

Halo 4 cost around $20 Million.

Yeah, I hope it’s well invested. I don’t think that the budget is all Halo 4, but FuD, advertisement, starting a new company or something like were probably a factor.

For a collector the game is really expensive. You have to buy multiple versions from each retailer, the limited edition, and a separate multiplayer pass just to unlock all of the armor. It’s really off putting. I might as well just start pumping my money into Skylanders. At least then I get a physical toy.

Saw this earlier this week. A lot of work and money has been put into this game, it will come out as a game to be remembered.

Most of the budget went toward Master Chief’s butt-plate.
