Gran Turismo 5 sporting $60 million budget



Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi reveals next year's sprawling racing simulator cost three nearly times as much as Killzone 2.

It's no secret that Gran Turismo 5 is one of the most anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusives ever. As it turns out, it's also one of the most expensive. Two years after a Dutch newspaper pegged the budget of Killzone 2 at $21 million, Autoweek has revealed that the expansive racing simulator will cost nearly three times that.

For $60 million, you could buy 40 Lamborghini Reventons.

Speaking to the magazine, Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi said the budget for the game is around $60 million. That makes it among the most expensive games ever made--but not the most expensive, according to Yamauchi.

"There are other games that cost more," said the famously perfectionist designer "Considering the size and scale of the game, I think it's probably a fairly small amount."

Yamauchi wasn't shy about telling Autoweek about what Gran Turismo 5's massive budget produced. The game will have nearly 1,000 cars sporting 400,000 polygons each--100 times more polygons than Gran Turismo 4's vehicles had. However, unlike its predecessor, the cars in the game will take actual damage when they crash, and will be fully customizable.

As outlined in GameSpot coverage of Yamauchi's presentation at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, the game will have 20 locations and 70 variations of tracks to choose from. It is also an official license of several prominent racing organizations, such as NASCAR and the World Rally Championship. The game is due out in March in Japan, with a Western release "probably" happening in early 2010, according to Yamauchi.

And it would have been out long ago if the morons would stop making cafes and car dashboards and finish the damn game already.

Any recommendations for christmas pressies for my son, he'll be turning 13. He loves COD5.

Used to love playing on the PS2 with him, obviously not cool to play games with your mum now. :(

Yeah, while I wish I could have gotten it a year ago, I'm thinking that when it does come out it's going to be amazing!

Well the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes out next week and is poised to be the biggest (and possibly best) game of the year if he enjoys shooters (which it sounds like he does).

Yes, he's already got it on preorder, just got confirmation today that it's on the way. Also ordered him Fallout 3 for him from Ebay today, it was on as a daily deal for £9.99 + free postage. Looked at the reviews on Play & Amazon which were mixed but overall positive.

booomm11

Modern Warfare 2 comes out in two days!

Claireack

It's funny he's never really been into football games, he's more of a rugby boy anyway.

I've seen a ton of PJ-related screennames, none of which are on here.

I was playing with a PJVed10 (or something once) and I asked him if he posted on the message boards and he acted like I was crazy!

Demon's Souls is a very good game. It's gotten a rep for being very hard but as long as you are patient, it isn't so bad. It has a Mega Man quality to it, so be prepared to try levels over and over.

I didn't even know it was out yet, hehe.
Looks good, but possibly a controller tosser....
Dragon Age: Origins is looking good too, if you're into RPGs

my friend has been raving about dragon age and that's right up my alley, so i may buy it today onsale at best buy. has anyone played it?

i kinda bailed on bio shock... i don't think the fps thing is for me. i just can never seem to get anywhere doing them and i lose interest so fast.

uncharted 2 is the best thing that's ever happened to me though. i haven't had this much fun playing a video game since high school probably.

Any good for a 12 nearly 13 year old? Heard a review on the radio today and the guy said it was his favourite game of the year. Might get it for a chrissie pressie for him.

mca47

Still haven't played Uncharted 2 yet.

Everyone I know that has says it's truly one of the best games they've ever played.

I don't remember any f-bombs, but there is some bad language and the usual violence that is obviously associated with this type of game. Nothing ridiculous or overly gruesome though.

As a 33 year-old that has literally played every "big" game of the last three generations of consoles, I cannot rave about this game enough.

Yeah it is, at least on the PS3. Uncharted 2 is like the most awesome action movie I've ever seen.

Claireack

That's great, it's now on the list of pressies.

i can't imagine any 13 year old not loving this game.
