Irrational Games' Ken Levine has
taken to Twitter to deny a
report from the New York Times on the budget for
BioShock Infinite, Irrational's upcoming first-person shooter prequel. The Times quotes an unnamed analyst saying the game will end up costing $200 million, divided equally between development and marketing. As hard as it is to imagine a paper nicknamed "The Old Gray Lady" could be off-base about video games, Levine indicates this story is inaccurate, saying: "200 million for Infinite? Did someone send some checks to the wrong address? #unnamedanalyst." He
follows sarcastically: "Analyst: @IGLevine 's American girl doll collection cost 200 million." Also,
VG247 notes that IGN's
review exclusivity has scored them a
Waking Up in Columbia trailer and a
Columbia Raffle and Fair trailer, each with gameplay walkthroughs narrated by Ken.
