Halo 3 budget?
Does Bungie have a budget ( a set ammount of money to get the game done with ) or does Microsoft fund as they go along? How much is estimated for the production cost to be?
-
so overall profit...?
-
Most high-profile/advanced games have about a $25 - $35 million development budget and about a $20 - $30 million marketing budget. With this being the next generation of games, Halo 3's budget can safely be assumed to be around $80 - $90 million (development and marketing).

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Master Burte I dont know, but lets just say a lot. And put in the fact that bungie made millons off of halo2.[/quote] Halo is for sure the biggest tittle the Xbox has ever seen. So it's a sure bet that MS would fund them as much money as possible to create the most successful one yet. I hear the average cost of making a next gen game is around 15 million. That's alot of money, but if what Frankie is saying about the graphics, scale, ect, the production cost must be HUGE.

Nothing ever free. [Edited on 2/27/2007]

im shore there is a limit but yeah microsoft would be more then happy to give them another mill if they needed it.

estimated 14 million copies of Halo 2. I think they have a bit of money lying around. how much usually goes into a big game?

I'm not sure what the actual figure is, but popular speculation is that Marty O' Donnel actually gets a sliver of that figure for his audio department this time around. [Edited on 2/27/2007]
