Here it is: "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," Yamauchi explained. |
Great, I had forgotten where I found it. Also to point out, there's a good portion of game designers who are only part time or are outsourced/hired as needed. I believe graphic asset creators may be among those. There's a lot more asset creators now than they used to be. Heck SMB used the same art for the clouds as for the bushes! Can't do that anymore...
