You guys must remember that Polyphony digital is a small team, Sony owns them and if Sony won't increase the size of their team then there is nothing Polyphony digital can do. Each cars has an average of 200k polygons, and takes 6months of one persons time to make. GT5 is the best looking racing game ever and it takes a long time to make perfection.

EDIT: Plus the fans have demaned damage and that will take even more resouces to make, plus they don't want to do the same crappy damage that was in Forza or many other racers.

 

There is something Polyphony can do: not bite off more than they can chew. 

It's their own fault they took on a project that large and decided to go with it.  It's also Sony's fault for continuing to fund them while letting them keep all that content.

Hey when it takes one guy 6 months to make a car, this stuff happens. I'm tellin you, this WILL be the most expensive game of this generation. (Production costs wise. What with each car = 6 months worth of pay.)

Still, maybe they'll make it out in 09 anyway.

this is old "NEWS"
they take a whole day to make a car(over 900 cars is featured in this game) that could be the reason for the delay


why complain ???

On playstation 2 it took a day to make a car.  On playstation 3 it takes 6 months for 1 guy to make a car.

I wouldn't say a car takes six actual months to take, only six man months.  I doubt only one person makes each car but rather several people with total man hours that add up to six months.

@NJ5 - Agreed.
A "delay" from Q4 2009 to Q1 2010 is not a big deal. Especially for a game that is over 1 year away.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

That distinction is irrelevant in terms of development cost. If this game has 900 cars, 900 artists would have to work for 6 months to build those cars (although some cars are probably just modifications of others). 450 artists would work for a year, or 225 artists for two years... This kind of numbers is pretty eye-opening when you think about it.

@dbot: Agreed, if that's indeed how it works out.

When each game sells so many copies, you can't blame sony of continually supporting them when they produce one of the PS's biggest franchises. Sony should fund an expansion so that they do not take so long to make the games

The cost of those manhours isn't even taking into account... tracks... damage modeling and interfaces graphics wise.  Or anything else that makes a game a game, like the engine... etc.
