In other words, most likely not, but it will more than recuperate those costs and profit in the first year of Gran Turismo 5's release.

HOW MOSTLY LIKELY NOT??????????????????????????????

and GT5 will cover cost even if it GT5P hadn't in the first week,what the hell are you talking abt an year

`My response was in regards to the OP asking whether the sales from the Gran Turismo 5 demo covered the development costs of Gran Turismo 5.

If you look at the sales from the demo, then yes the sales covered the demo cost, but not the total development cost of Gran Turismo 5.

i know you were talking about the GT5 and not GT5P only

why the hell are you even talking about the GT5P costs as it was a part of gt5

and yesd how the hell is it most likely that they didn't cover GT5 costs??????

Well if they can do it, why not? It's very prestigious for them.

And it's a damn good thing that some company are pushing the technologies to the max. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so advanced technologically speaking.

Awesome graphics is advanced tech? Since when?

And they can do it. But I think they shouldn't.

Honestly, what do you have against good graphics?

I totally agree that good gameplay should come before graphics, but when a game series has already proven excellent game mechanics and gameplay, what's wrong with them pushing the limits in the graphical department?

You'd rather them not put any money into the game at all?  If it wasn't for graphics, we'd still all be playing NES.

I totally hate when people put words into my mouth.

What's wrong? They're spending an unnecessary amount of money on polishing everything to the last details. These details won't even be noticed in-game. So I ask, why? Why do we need to waste millions of dollars on such frivolous shit?

hwo is it unneccesary and how are they wasting it????????????????????????????????????????????

its like saying we shouldn't spend money on visual effects in movies and just go on making golden age movies?

same thing why spend so much money of halo,gta4 to make it big andnot just do a short version of them??????

 

you are seriously fucked up
