Possibly Biggest Budget of Any Game in the World
IGN - September 19, 2008

Tom Crago mentioned it "could be the biggest budget videogame in development anywhere in the world. It would certainly... in terms of console titles, be in the top ten... LA Noire is a massive massive project." And last, but by no means least, he mentioned that the game is coming to PS3 and 360 - up until now the title has only been confirmed for PS3.

Sounds like it is going to be on 360 too. I just found it odd that IGN claims it is and is not on 360. Thanks for the digging.[ Oracle ] [ Level 26 ] [ Rank: 241 ]bids

Tom Crago, the CEO of Tantalus and the president of the Game Developers' Association of Australia is responsible for this information. I guess he just knows the figures for how large this budget is and the figures for the other largest budgeted games in the world.
He definitely knows GTA IV's budget. Thus, if he is making this claim then it's pretty certain that this game is around GTA IV's budget, if not higher already.
He provided this info during an overview of the Australian game development industry at GC Asia 2008.
