Detroit budget is not big compared to other AAA. All the Quantic Dreams games were profitable. I think it will be the same.
And congratulation a good game with a vety good Connor part.
This figure includes only development budget, you need to add marketing as well.
Heavy Rain costed 44 million euros in 2010 (dev+budget) , it's litterally impossible that a game made 8 years later with better tech to cost only 30 million euros
Well, this one has a good story for like 1/3 of the game to make up for that.
Really surprising to me. The movie like presentation makes you easily assume they'd have that same level of budget.
God of War could be had for under £20 too. Must have sold bad also.
Doubt they'd be trumpeting these if it was bad for the game. It's their fastest selling game. It's done really well.
Congrats QD. I want to see games like this thrive so as to prove that not everything story-oriented in the AAA space has to be open world and 40+ hours to succeed. Detroit's linear environments yet hugely branching narrative was more impressive to me than any open world I've encountered this gen.
Anyway, I enjoyed the game immensely. Hell, I liked it more than God of War and RDR2! I know he typically doesn't do sequels, but I wonder if Cage is at least tempted to do a stand-alone Connor game.

Yeah of course, but implicitly we talked about development cost only
To complete, in the article, they talked about Beyond Two Souls :
- Development cost : 24,7M €
- Development + marketing : 44,8M €
Even though the premise of consumer goods wanting human rights is really dumb, it's QD's best game. The Connor route at least, is pretty well written and Bryan Dechart's performance as Connor is the best this year imo.
If you want to know if 2 million copies sold is good of bad for a narrative cinematic game like this, just compare with similar titles. Ask Telltale Games for ex... oh, right.
I got it as a gift and really enjoyed it. Plan on getting the platinum this week. Easily their best title. They more or less dropped the things that didn't work and focused on what did when it comes to their studio. If you liked stuff like until dawn. This one is definitely worth checking out.
I still need to get this, should have bought it on Black Friday when a bunch of Sony games were discounted in Europe, damn.
Either this or they counted months wrongly and they meant "7 months" instead of "5 months". I don't know why they would only announce the milestone now, but who knows.
Yeah November/December sales are not included, that's why QD precised in 5 months as you pointed
Yup. This past week you could find the game for 30€ and sometimes even 20€ in Europe (hello again Amazon) because of the crazy holidays sales, but before that the value remained stiff for a while and they sold their first million copies only two weeks after launch.
That's 3 hits in a row now for QD right? Heavy Rain, Beyond, and now Detroit have all done well commercially. They've proven themselves as a reliable, quality developer. Maybe it's time Sony bring them into the first party fold unless QD really want to stay independent.
Hopefully they are coming soon, I am sure those numbers will be mindblowing!
:D
If amazon.fr is an option for you they have it for 20€ right now:

I just ordered it yesterday too.
OP
OP
Heavy Rain over 5mil
Beyond 2.8mil
Detroit over 2mil(and going)
Considering what sort of games they are you have to say QD have done very well with all 3 of them.
But it's 2m in only 5 months. December sales are still to come and I'm sure by the end of next year it will be a fair bit higher.
If that's the case those £13.99 BF sales would be on top of this and the vast majority of sales will be practically full price. So those "concerned" over the sales can rest easy ;)
Glad to hear it. The game was just great. It really did feel like an interactive movie and I actually cared about the characters. Well deserved
For QD to make this game in the span of 4-5 years with a team of 180 people strikes me as pretty good management.
Great results. My favorite Quantic Dream game and in my top 10 for GotY as well. Here's hoping we get another game from them soon.
Both Horizon and GOW got an update after some months ( 2 and 1 ) through interviews with the press. Uncharted 4 got an update with the holiday PR and Horizon another one for the anniversary.
It's totally "random".
QD's games are typically pretty modest in their budgets, so I wouldn't worry.
Also, the game has only been out for six months. It still has plenty of time to keep selling copies.
Well that settles an argument about this game that I had with a user about this game being well over 3 million by now. Can't say I'm surprised that I was right, It was a wild claim based on virtualy nothing. Not that it matters since they made a show of putting me on ignore lol.
More to the point I'm definitely going to add to this in the near future because I've been putting it off for too long really.
