Shenmue: Most expensive game to ever be produced.

[retrolinkx]

This is pretty well known, but for some not so much, people who have never played the game would be shocked at how much was spent and put into it.

It's not wonder Sega failed.

The cost, of both the Saturn and Dreamcast version went up to $70,000,000, and of course with 2012 inflation, that's £9.84 million.

And I believe the second version went up to about that much as well.

The sad thing is, the only way we'd ever see a third game is if a very dedicated Sega fan won the lottery...
