This Is Vegas Cancelled, Loss 50 Million Dollars



Game - This Is Vegas
Publisher - Warner Bros Interactive
Publisher - Surreal Software
Engine - Unreal3
Platform - PC, 360, PS3
Release Date - Cancelled

From CVG anonymous source :

"Apparently the entire This Is Vegas project has been totally canned,"

"Midway spent in the region of $43 million up to the point when it was being sold to WB [July 2009]. Alan Patmore, who was [Surreal] studio boss, either left or was let go - but considering the resources and art created this is a lot of work down the drain."

"It was moving along to a point where the title was on the [Warner] schedule for release late last year - but [development] still needed another eight months to a year to finish, with a studio burn rate of $250,000 per month."

"It's a ridiculous waste of money, a silly budget when you think that games like Konami's Saw - which made profit - were built with around $3m."
