Roughly $266 million, excluding marketing. More than double GTA IV's development costs.

Those Gangstas wanted that dough $$$

And they're probably going to get that dough $$$

If GTA IV is anything to go by.

 

By the way the article states "the game's development and marketing budget cost £170 million (equivalent to $266 million)"

So wouldn't that be $266 million including marketing?

At $266 million, the fifth installment of the Rockstar game will have surpassed the estimated production budget (without marketing)

[alan123]

Actually, I think that I was right about it being $266 million with marketing. If we look at the rest of your quote.

 

"At $266 million, the fifth installment of the Rockstar game will have surpassed the estimated production budget (without marketing) for every hollywood blockbuster adjusted for inflation"

 

If I'm right the $266 million production and marketing budget for GTA V surpassed the estimated production budget for every hollywood blockbuster without marketing (The "without marketing" is referring to the films).

Well the world looks huge, a bunch of songs and I believe over an hour of original songs. Well that aside of the obvious improvements if gameplay, visuals, animations, a million voice actors. So yeah this game is gonna be awesome plus online which is looking awesome to.

That, and probably the cost of all the different activities that they let you do like tennis etc.

They're apparently meant to be fully fleshed out, not just a dodgy minigame.

The world, voice actors, Trying to get this Next Gen Scale game to run on current gen limited hardware, beer for the office, etc.

In a way.
It's been in development for like 50 years, and hourly wages are like 9001$

[Structures]

now to just wait for PC release...

[Gimbal]

Is it worth it? I wonder.

[Mewbot]

Is it worth it? I wonder.

Probably not for the devs, they would have made a lot of money off the game regardless.

 

For us, though, the game will be a lot better.

[xile6]

I know they will easily clear that there going out with a bang on the current gen systems.

I saw a review of the game from ign and it seems to be great. I ill be there for midnight launch that my gamestop is having.

[Pikachu!]

Most of the cost probably comes from that awesome new multiplayer.
