$200M before the Sony acquisition and $200M after. It's a little hard to believe. The story seems to only be coming from Colin Moriarty right now, but I trust Jordan Middler to consider it at least reasonably plausible if he wrote it up for VGC.

UPDATE: Sources not corroborating $400M number.

I could take one look at those models and animations and tell you it wasn't cheap. Then probably a lot of money went into those CG cut-scenes that were intended to be rolled out weekly.
