Ten Massively Expensive Video Game Failures

December 1, 2015 by Dennis Patrick

Big budget video games are big gambles. Here are the video game industry’s ten most expensive failures.

#8 Homefront

Homefront is a video game that did alright but developers Kaos Studios didn’t hit a grand slam here. This is a first-person shooter where America is taken over by a united Korea force. Now a small militia army attempts to regain control and unite the United States once again. Sounds like a winner but again, the game received mixed responses with some gamers upset of the short campaign and various bugs. A few months after the game launched, THQ revealed that the game has sold over two million units, however, shortly after THQ hit bankruptcy where the rights to the game were sold to Crytek. An estimated $50,000,000 was spent for the creation of Homefront.
