| Onyxmeth said: I don't see how this is any different than any predecessor title essentially paying for it's sequel. Is it a special case just because of the Prologue name? I see this the same as Assassin's Creed paying for Assassin's Creed II, Resistance: Fall of Man paying for Resistance 2. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is essentially the title that ate the costs for developing the engine and a lot of major costs, and it's pseudo sequel Gran Turismo 5 is the one that reaps the benefits. Really the money from any of these games could be redistributed anywhere the publisher wants, so this is a pretty common occurrence. Don't let the oddity of it being a "Prologue" confuse the very simple situation at hand. |
True, but about half of GT5 development was already done when GT5p came out, so the overall cost of developing GT5p and GT5 didn't cost the development of two different games, just one...
