It makes a lot of sense, really, as Shenmue was in production for a long time and every time I saw it, it looked a lot different than it did the last time.

But that's not nearly as bad as this: http://most-expensive.net/handheld-video-game-system

Look at the how much money the first company lost for the Gizmondo. Ow.

[Docpepper]

ooo Gizmondo was a big fucking bust. I remember reading the main guy in charge of that company was either arrested or sent to prison for something

And Shenmue fucking raped. So it doesn't really matter how much it cost.

I also think Yakuza cost around there as well.

Isn;t the biggest loss for a game ET? I know they sold fuck all games of it when they were expecting record sales.

[Guest Kou]

ET didn't cost nearly that much, it was more of a broken camel back that killed videogames until the NES that makes it significant.

I heard it took 40 million (in 6 years) to make Valve's Source Engine for Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source, though there might be a technicality that makes it not count as one game.

The license bought by Atari for ET cost $20-25 million.

Shenmue is probably still my favourite game ever. Therefore I'm part of that "active fan base" that's still waiting for the 3rd one.

Weren't the old ET cartridges collected and dumped in some landfill?

I expected MGS2 to be the most expensive video game. With all it's "professional" film-style music and attention to detail

[Killagy]

Shenmue was so underated man. Just like the article mentioned the game featured more freedom than any game featured today. And YES I too am part of tat fan base.

EDIT: What will it take for them to have another go at E.T. and succeed in TODAY'S STANDARDS?
