Is PS3 emulation on PS5 finally happening? No, but the team behind Sony's backward compatibility releases is looking towards it.
Here's why the rumored $1 billion budget for Rockstar Games' upcoming open world action game, Grand Theft Auto VI, doesn't quite add up.
"Or was it i̶n̶f̶o̶r̶m̶e̶d̶ guesswork from analysts?"
Video game budgets will always be fictional, just like Hollywood movies. Unless there are receipts it's all speculation.
And Take Two has a marketing department with an already approved budget (just like studios in Hollywood).
(Continue...I was in the Lincoln Tunnel)
Budgeting isn't included in the total cost because it is a separate budget. These companies intentionally inflate the numbers so they pay less in taxes.
This is not a new trend. And if you give your CEO $30 million per year and a game takes 5 years, you just add that $150million to the budget (CNN).
I don't know where they get these numbers, absolutely NO games is spending anywhere near that amount on production even including marketing. If we're talking lifetime estimates for like a 10yr plan maybe, but even that would be a very vague projection. RDR2 at the time of release cost less that GTAV did and GTAV cost about 265mil with marketing being an average of about 200-300mil each.
I believe it's somewhere around there. Cod is 700m$ to make. I think GTA could be around there if not more. The insane level of detail in the trailer says it all.
Yeah I believe it's around there personally.
The $700m cod budget is for tax purposes imho.
I also seriously doubt a game even as top notch as GTA would cost a billion to make.
Yeah, that would be tax fraud. Public companies are independenly audited. They cannot just put whatever number they want "for tax purposes".
Doom: The Dark Ages has hit a peak of just under 31,000 concurrent players at launch, a figure much lower than both Doom and Doom: Eternal.
Don’t matter, if it’s not hitting 100k+ it’s considered trash and a failure.
That’s the new standard apparently

Could be affected by:
- A percentage of people will play this on GamePass which the last 2 games did not launch on.
- A percentage of players bought the Deluxe Edition which included early access, reducing the peak as players will start playing it on different days.
Neon Apex: Beyond the Limit combines frenetic futuristic racing with an anime art style, but the results are mixed.
It will be funny when like 5 people actually play these games.
Greed is the only reason this isn't already a thing.
honestly every console should have full backwards compatibility, im a full time pc gamer now but if sony brings full compatibility it would be a huge selling point and I would use the ps5 much more often, just the abilitity to play random ps1,ps2,ps3 games would be huge, most exclusives are on PC anyways now so this would be an ever greater selling compared to exclusives, ps3 fat was such a good console with full compatibility of ps1 and ps2 games, hence the high launch price, so since the ps5 pro already is priced so high they could even do atleast a pro model that has backwards compatibility with previous consoles.
Imagine how good all 3 infamous games would look if they got proper remaster treatment for ps5
