Also some info about Killzone 2/3 and UC2/3 all exceeding expectations. He has left the company as of 2019, so I'm guessing these games have made even more money than this reported figure.
Also reveals a 35% digital ratio for HZD and 40% for GoW

GTA 5 made a billion in the first 3 days on launch. Probably around 10 times that now.
$6 billions in 2018, probably way higher now lol
GTA V is the most profitable entertainment product of all time
The above is probably the least surprising headline you'll read on GamesIndustry.biz all year.The success of Grand Thef…

How about a Killzone 4 or Mercenary 2? I need a new SP FPS Sony.
A Resistance 4 would be awesome too. Or remasters of the R3 and K2.

I believe current estimates are that GTAV has probably made 10 billion+ for Rockstar.
am i the only one who finds stalking individual developers' and dev employees' linkedin profiles for hot scoops really kind of weird and uncomfortable

Not that nuts when you think about it. The game sold what? 20MM copies? Let's say half of those at full price, 1/8 at $40, 1/8 at $30 and 1/8 at $20 and 1/8 at $10. That's 600MM + 100MM + 75MM + 50MM + 25MM in revenue for a total of 850MM in revenue. Adjust those numbers a bit, some licensing deals (i.e. comics from Dark Horse, merch, TV show from HBO and voila 1B+).
How is it any different than following someone on Twitter or Facebook? LinkedIn is a social network for working professionals so I think it's fine to follow people for industry insights.
They post the information readily available. It's no different than researching an article or something.
LinkedIn is definitely about marketing yourself and your achievements, though.
But it's a bit weird, yeah.
But people also exaggerate and misrepresent statistics all the time in resumes.
It's LinkedIn. You make a profile there to market yourself.
The implication from this data is that they gain $50 in revenue from FP game sales in the first year or so. Will probably be closer to $60 next gen with the increasing price point.
Should be noted that a few of these are quite old, GoW numbers are from when it crossed 10m (sometime before may 2019) and Horizon numbers are from around mid 2018 likely.

Took the words from my mouth. I know we all like new info but there are levels where I think people let that hunger/thirst take them too far.
its a public profile on display. not hacking personal info
It doesn't seem all that different from taking info that's publicly available on any other social media site.
Feels like Guerrilla's second team is likely on an FPS. If so, I'm curious if it'll be an existing IP or a new one.
Yeah I could see Insomniac eventually remastering the Resistance games, in between their other projects, now that all of their time can be dedicated to working on just PS games. Plus they don't have too many first party ones so it'll still stick out. I'm hoping for some new IP for VR too from them in time for PSVR2, since their PC VR stuff was quite well received and we never got those for obvious reasons.
But LinkedIn is kind of there for that as it's to promote yourself and unlike Facebook you can see who's been looking at your profile ( limited to a few users a week unless you're on the paid version, sure) so I don't personally see anything wrong with that
Yeah Sony isn't making Uncharted 5, lmao.
Lmao Bundy we are in sync!
"Let it rest!!!" said the dumb ones.

It's still kinda surreal to me that these really popular, pretty much mainstream at this point games are like 500m - 1b and Sony music's Aniplex is just casually making 1b a year from FGO.
I get different genres and entirely different markets and all that. But still.

I really hope so.
I hope they do both VR and traditional FPS games. Resistance in VR could be really cool as the guns in the series could be awesome with the dual sense (assuming PSVR controller takes the technology of the DS).
Nope, this is pretty uncomfortable for me also. I work in a different industry, but it makes me think more about what I have on my profile if people go digging like this.
This is great to hear. You finally accepted Days Gone as your lord and savior.
How much did games like Horizon and GOW cost??
1 Billion for LoU is fucking insane, but then I remember UC4/LOU had a multiplayer with micro transactions.

Honestly I would be happy with a KZ2 remaster god I miss the shooting in that game, some of the best gunplay in FPS history.
Yeah, admittedly I much prefer third-person but it's true that they could definitely use a few new big exclusive FPS games (probably why they were smartly targeting some stuff like Deathloop) and I think that remasters of the Resistance games make a ton of sense. Plus since they haven't been playable since PS3 they'd be pretty new to a lot of people if they can boost the visuals enough to entice people to check them out.
Oh yeah, hadn't thought about that, that would be really neat. Resistance remasters including VR too.
Resistance 3 in particular would be great as a remaster. The game's art direction is awesome looking. It was already good looking on PS3 so Imagine it in 4k with some retouching here and there.
Speaking of third person, Resistance Retribution re release would also be great. It was awesome on the PSP and it would be great to revisit it.
