Comment on Angry Call of Duty Fans Are Review-Bombing the Wrong Modern Warfare 3
leekleak@lemmy.world 1 year agoEhhh well, I’ve kinda regained a bit oh hope after starting Alan Wake II, but yeah the big three (EA, Activison, Ubisoft) are hilariously bad.

Alan Wake is pretty much the definition of a modern AA game, though, so that just plays into what he’s saying.
While Alan Wake 2 is super well executed, its development costs is dwarfed by modern triple A games that cost at least 10 times more to develop.
(Alan Wake reported budget 50-70 million euro, compared to games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077 which were both reported at ~500 million euro, while games like MW3 (2023) and GTA VI both have billion dollar+ budgets).

Wow, had no idea the first one was made with such budget constraints… Though I am curious where you got the budget estimate for 2 as I haven’t found anyhting.

Oh yeah no that was a typo, that budget is for Alan Wake 2 - its on the Alan Wake 2 wiki sourcing a Finnish newspaper at the time of writing this comment.

Oh, I see :) Thank you for clarifying.
It’s really impressive what they’ve been able to achieve then.
