100 million big ONES

Take this and multiply it by four...thats probably the amount of money GTA is going to profit. And if I'm off, it's only by a few million or so. No big deal for Rockstar

Reports are out that GTA IV cost around $100 million in production costs. That's more than some most films. That beats the now 2nd biggest game, as far as production, Shenmue that was released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and cost $70 million. 1,000 people worked on the game and there were some 100,000 photos taken of New York City to fully capture the city and make it Liberty City.

To me, that's an amazing tidbit, because the small bit of time (compared to the vastness of the game) shows how much went into every single facet of production. And judging off of how well the game is expected to do, $100 million is chump change compared to what Take-Two and Rockstar are about to make. Keep setting the bar higher Rockstar, keep setting the standard.
