L.A. Noire the Most Expensive Game in Development?

Edge writes: "Rockstar's crime thriller L.A. Noire "could be the biggest budget videogame in development anywhere in the world", according to Tom Crago, the CEO of Tantalus and the president of the Game Developers' Association of Australia.

"It would certainly... in terms of console titles, be in the top ten... L.A. Noire is a massive, massive project," Crago said at GC Asia 2008.

Earlier this year Rockstar producer Leslie Benzies estimated that GTA IV cost the company approximately $100 million to create, a figure which, if correct, would currently make it the most expensive game ever, topping the $70 million plus development budget for Sega's Dreamcast title Shenmue."
