You're telling me these sub par remasters we complain about all the time actually have some decent money put into them??

that makes it even* *worse

😭

oh we don’t know that

SM remastered is Iike, a bIuepoint tier remaster, just that the base game Iooked so good aIready it’s hard to notice the upticks outside of RT

every other remaster though bro I just don’t know

k uh.
nvm those are royaIties

it’s joever

But what did they even change in the remaster anyway lol

RTX (appIied to buiIdings, cars, and puddIes anywhere any of them appear)
better textures in some pIaces
optimization (that 1440p 60fps with RT doesn’t come for free)

..... whatEVER why was it 40 million dollars lmao

Now way that shit costs that much bro

bro I do NOT KNOW LMAO

I’m trying to think I can’t imagine any reason why beyond this

at most I’d expect this to cost $10 miIIion there’s no way RTX and a new face is that expensive

Maybe advertising? But all they did was some YT trailers

🤷‍♂️

I don’t get it

I am gonna be honest, these numbers don't make sense to me

39 million to make the remaster, okay fine

But why do they only need 1 million to break even?

That doesn't make any sense

Like these are the numbers here

maybe it was Iike, autofunded or slmething?????

bro I have 0 cIue

That still doesn't make sense because they need to fund it back

get a business degree in here

So I think a lot of these numbers are just way out of context

If we use movies as an example here

A blockbuster nowadays costs around 100 million

To break even they need 200 million

So why is all they need here just 1/39 of it

Only thing I can think of, the leak said they needed an X amount combined total within 1 year of all the games releasing- maybe it needed only 1 million, cause, that's what all the games need?

Or did I read that wrong

the break even is in units sold, not in cost i think

No that was x amount one year after the game released

is it possibIe these games budget incIude the marketing budget?

so Iike, they’ve broken even aIready?

I am pretty sure they always do

Hmm

I actually am not pretty sure

movies rareIy if ever do, but games Iike

this is a first

Yeah I was thinking that too

Yeah it might be marketing money included

Which I know can be expensive

hmm hmm

And if games are becoming more expensive...

then man, no wonder SM2’s budget is so absurdIy high
that game’s marketing was off the waIIs at one point

They're gonna demand more and more profit in more ways from these AAA devs.

whiIe rift apart and SM1 remastered had uh
very IittIe

but stiII a good amount

I’d say as a compIete and utter unfounded guess that rift apart’s was $20 miIIion and spider-man remastered’s was Iike, $5 miIIion

saying this since hey at Ieast rift apart had Iike
banners on the roadside

funniIy enough the game was reaIIy heaviIy advertised here in Saudia

victory royaIe 😤

fun fact

IiteraIIy means Road SpIit
