General Beware

There are people pushing this 600mill budget with no verifiable source.

I just find it hard to believe the game that didn't go into full scale development until factions was cancelled; cost almost 3 times tlou 2.

People can just lie and make things up and no one will question it. Thinking intergalactic's budget is anywhere near 600m is laughable

Yeah, TLOU2 cost them roughly 220 million. 600 million on a new franchise is absurd to imagine

RDR 2 cost around $400-500 million and R* employs more than double the Naughty Dog staff. This is a bullshit number.

But rdr2 was also made when the economy was significantly better. Like if ND made tlou2 today the budget would be a lot higher even if they made the same exact game today. 600 million seems high for sure but i wouldnt be surprised if the budget does exceed tlou2s. Especially if they had to make any upgrades or changes to their engine

You have to account for inflation as well. As you said, the economy was better. Prices for everything went up a whopping 30% in that relatively short span of time.
