What makes people think PD are the ones to blame here? For all we know the game is near completion and it is Sony who are holding the game back until a PS3 price cut. Sony want to make sure this game has as big a impact as possible, that will never happen at £300.

1) The game already has had massive delays

2) They are perfectionists.

3) It's been stated it takes one graphics artist 6 months to make 1 car

4) They were having trouble getting rights for damage.

 

 

6 months for one car.... with the kind of budget they have, one man could probably make a real car in that time starting from scratch...

 

A huge one from what i can tell.  Considering the last game had... what 700 cars?  That's a lot of manhours.

Refrence to the 6 months thing by the way.

"In GT and GT2, both for PS1, a designer spent a day to model a car. In GT3 and GT4, for PS2, the same worker spent a month modeling the same car due to the increased amount of polygons. In GT5 for PS3, they require six months to do the same job,"
