I think they should start investigating potential embezzlement, only possible explanation.

I guess the majoriy of the money went into wages over multiple years.
I guess so anyway as some games you can see that budget on screen, this is NOT one of those games.
In this game all the budget is behind the screen. They started with the FFXV code base. They had to untangle code for the car, and the busted teleport system, and then convert it into magic sneakers on a game engine designed to please Tetsuya Nomura. Might as well ask them to divide by zero.

25 minutes a negative Forspoken article has been on the front page and rofif hasn't yet come galloping in to tell us how the game is the greatest thing since sliced bread and totally worth the 100M budget? I'm shocked! :messenger_tongue:

Yipes!!! That FFXV engine had terrible looking lighting imo… no type of ambient lighting. I don’t know anything though.

If I was Sony, I would want my money back. They probably bought the exclusivity after seeing the original footage and were straight up scammed by SE at the end.

What they paid for:

In a vacuum the release games areas look fine, but compared to that clearly bullshot trailer, yeah ....
