Cost to make Star Wars, A New Hope (1977) - $11 million. That would be about $40 million today.
This game has taken in over $250 million.
Wrong thread?
I don't get the correlation between the topic/post, the mediums (games x movies) or eras (70's x Nowdays).
SWOTOR costed hundreds of millions to make, Red Dead Redemption 2 around at least half-billion dollars.
Not the wrong thread.
Just pointing out that while the screens and vids are pretty, getting them has so far cost 5 times more than it took to make Star Wars.
But I get it. The sky's the limit. I wish I had clients like these for my services.
I don't follow the relation, what does fan-made videos of a modern video-game in production have to do with the cost to make a Star Wars movie in 1977?

The Star Wars reference It is a measure (but certainly not a scientific formula or slide rule) of what has been accomplished in the realm of science fiction for far, far less money. It's not that the screens and vids don't look good. They do. But goodness a sick amount of money has been spent so far and no game has been released.
If your point is that movies and games are different things, well ok then lol. I can certainly concede that. But I think you are working pretty hard not to see my point.

I see your point and it's not a very good one. Not only you're comparing different mediums but from totally different eras. It's not only fundamentally flawed but most importantly, wilfully ignorant and intellectually disingenuous by failing to acknowledge basic things like inflation for example.
This is a thread for videos of/about Star Citizen made by it's community showcasing cool footage, from gameplay to narrative, interesting stunts or just creative stuff like that anime one. Please enjoy it for what it is and leave your own petty issues out of it.
