Average Budget For Major, Multi-Platform Games Is $18-28 Million 157

Posted by Soulskill from the large-potatoes dept.
An anonymous reader passes along this excerpt from Develop: "The average development budget for a multiplatform next-gen game is $18-$28 million, according to new data. A study by entertainment analyst group M2 Research also puts development costs for single-platform projects at an average of $10 million. The figures themselves may not be too surprising, with high-profile games often breaking the $40 million barrier. Polyphony's Gran Turismo 5 budget is said to be hovering around the $60 million mark, while Modern Warfare 2's budget was said to be as high as $50 million."

Microsoft Game Software Preps Soldiers For Battle 44

coondoggie writes "Soldiers may go into battle better prepared to handle equipment and with a greater knowledge of their surroundings after an intellectual property licensing deal Monday between Microsoft and Lockheed Martin that will deepen the defense giant's access to visual simulation technology. The intellectual property agreement between the two focuses on Microsoft ESP, a games-based visual simulation software platform for the PC."

Not to sound like a sissy, but can we shut this thing off and not mess with it? I've played enough Half Life and Doom, seen enough movies, and read enough sci-fi to know that we really shouldn't mess with crazy particle accelerator devices. Seriously, some of the elite physicists in the world are saying that the particles are communicating through time to ensure we don't do what this thing was designed to do? Is this REALLY a good idea?
