Just like it's unfair of PD to capitalize on Senna's name?
I'll send the Senna institute $5. I'm sure that's much more than they receive from the copy of GT6 I bought.

15% of total sales, as I predict is the portion in question, is far more than $5.

Every person in Brazil benefits from the Senna name, too. It may not be officially public domain, but he and his institution did a great thing for Brazil. I'm more a fan of him for his political contributions than his driving, and that says a lot.


What's the problem with PD redistributing a bit of money to that institution?

Where did you get the 15% from?
 
Now I feel a bit bad that I got the game on sale. I sure hope this update will bring more people to GT6, and bring more awareness to the institute. If PD messes this up, it's not gonna be pretty.

Where did you get that number from? I would be pleasantly surprised if it was anywhere near that.

Don't. I'm sure the royalties aren't based on the current sale price of the game.
 
im happy because with this lotus i can complete 6 cars very close each other in the range of 460 hp and 750 kg
 
Good to hear that the 97T will be in the game. Looking forward to hitting the track in a car that a legend like Elio drove.

Correct if I'm wrong, but isn't it based on a older layout of Monaco?
Click to expand...
It is. The PD course uses an older (and slower) variation of the swimming pool section. Inaccuracies aside, the course is very similar to what Monaco was in the early naughties.

Common for what exactly? And 15% from what exactly? Gross sales, net sales, earnings before tax, after tax? We really don't know anything. And I think @eSZee would be rather right thinking that his $5 contribution would be higher than what they get from a GT6 copy.

Well, I was referring to the total contribution of PD, which would be completely doubtlessly higher than $5. It's also no extra cost to the consumer, but can help to support education in Brazil.

It doesn't matter the percentage. It's still a large contribution and a welcome one.

I was talking about the per copy contribution and I think so did eszee. So misunderstanding there. But yeah I agree, any contribution is welcome.

While I'm happy with the news, its may first and we still have nothing thats playable. Only a vague promise. Which is better then what we had yesterday.....nothing.

Look at it this way: PD has to deliver now. If they don't, the hu-uuuuuuuuuuuuuu-ge fanbase that adores the Senna name will surely have the head of KazYam in a silver platter. The backlash would be so great that it'd be a new low in PDs history of disappointments, a definitive commercial suicide.
 
Don't know if this is common knowledge or not because I only noticed this today, but Senna's 1988 Racing Gear is already in-game priced at 500,000 credits in the special outfits !!

It was there from the beginning.

Are you sure? I could have sworn it wasn't there when I first got my racing gear. The highest price racing gear I think at the time was 100,000 credits. But I may be wrong, Just don't remember it back then..

They changed the prices when they separated out the colour schemes as individual purchases an update or two ago, making them cheaper. Maybe they increased the price of the "special" ones at the same time, I didn't take notice.

Its been there from day one.
One of the first things I used credits for on evening of Dec. 6, 2013.
I used it for this post I made on Dec 12, 2013 on @praiano63 tuning thread.

--------------------------------------
Snark pre-empter, yes I know its the wrong car/color.
At the time didn't have so many credits to buy proper.

FYI:
Senna NSX '91 & '93, in black, red or white, depending where.
Ex: Japan photo shoots & promos/ones he owned in Brasil.

Senna was involved in NSX's development from '89 with Honda.

Definitely there from the beginning. Also 100% sure it was the same price. I remember seeing it day one and I thinking that it was extremely pricey.

Which has nothing to do with the point @eSZee was making.

As for the news on the supposed update coming to the game in May... I'll keep my expectations low. So far it's nothing more than a single car, and considering the Zahara situation, until I see the car in the game, I've no reason to think it'll arrive.

He had a Black NSX(Auto by the way) in Brazil and a Red in his home in Portugal, if I am not mistaken in Madeira. The White one he drove in Suzuka during a presentation to the media.

Besides that, he is pictured with many red NSX's because that was the go-to color for the media cars.

The pictures where he is washing a red NSX is his car, in Portugal, in his house.

He also helped develop the Prelude, at the time there were comercials with him driving a prelude.

This. Expect disappointment and things can surely only get better. Or meet your expectations, in which case you could always say I told you so.
