Especially when you're asking for well over 30 cars in a single DLC pack :lol:

Jokes aside, I'd love to drive a 991 in GT6.

*sigh* why is licensing such a pain in the (neck) every single time fr PD? :C

Well I think people should simply demand a reasonable content / price ratio. They definetly would charge 10$/€ for a Porsche DLC. So 30 Cars + lets say a track would seem fair to me considering 1200 Cars and 30 Tracks cost you 50.
The reason I didn't buy a singe GT5 DLC was because that ratio was completely off. 10cars shouldnt cost you more than a buck.

They claim it takes an employee 2 to 6 months to create a premium car model. So i'd say it costs around 40000$ including licensing. Take this times 30 and you've got 1,2 million in cost. Expect them to sell the DLC to at least a fifth of the users and cosider that GT6 only sells half the copies of GT5 which would be still 5 million. So 1 million buyes for a 10$ DLC costing you 1,2 million. You do the math. Anythin less then 30 cars is just milking the customer.
 
Mostly when you see blank signs on tracks it's because they are for alcohol and are thus prohibited from all Playstation games.

Using your very own math you can see why 10 cars needs to cost more than a dollar. 1 million copies at $1 a piece is $1 million dollars, they would lose $200,000 dollars.

Also, I don't see the issue with the $1 per car way of doing things. So what if the profit margin is high, we buy tons of things each and every day with crazy profit margins. Ever buy a cup of coffee? You have a smartphone? Cigarettes? Ice cream? Anything at a sporting event?

It's still a pretty good value for what you're getting, and price is based on what a product is worth not what it costs to make.
 
ick... I'm DLC'd out.. getting kind of tired of paying 60 dollars for a game and then having so much of the game come later as DLC. I love Porsche and I'd LOVE to see em in GT6 but I wouldn't pay extra for it. If they can get the license stuff worked out then put them in GT7.

10 cars 40k apiece equals 0.4 million using my math...

I try not to buy stuff in real life that have a big profit margin either.

I disagree. The price of a product is directly linked to what it costs to make. I would never buy anything from Apple for example because they just make up prices.

Lets quit the offtopic talk here. I would buy a DLC that is worth buying in my opinion.

You're dreaming if you think you'll get all that for $10.
You can't base DLC prices off the price of the original and its content.

"Take this times 30 and you've got 1.2 million in costs" Your math was inconsistent. Not that we actually have any idea as to what it costs to make a premium car in GT.

With those standards you'll never buy DLC. Or much else actually.

C6 (906) Porsche would be my favourite.

Technically, there were only about 200-250 NEW (premium) cars in GT5, and then only 150-175 in GT6. 30 cars would be a 1/5th of what was added to GT6, which took 3 years. So you paid 60$/50£ or whatever the regional was price for 150 new cars, and 7 new tracks using your logic. Looking at just the cars, that goes down to $.40 per car, making the 30-car pack worth about $12. And then there's all sorts of new licensing they'd have to be doing - PD needs to make a profit...

The $1 per car model makes sense to me until it goes bulk - I wouldn't purchase content equivalent to about 1% of the game (including features, mechanics, and gameplay, not just physical assets) for the price of half a game. $10-15 makes sense for a 30 car pack, ~$7.50-12.50 for 10-20 cars, and then the $ per model for anything less than $10.
 
What's rubbish? Well the 1st post asks "What are the chances that we see Porsche in GT6?" Warranting only one reply: NONE. Hence why 99% of it is rubbish as this is yet another unimaginative GT topic that constantly gets dragged up. We already know the reasons why Porsche isn't included, doesn't need another mega-page bore fest.

I think PD has just answered everything for us, we wanted Porsche in GT, and they answered. They put it in, but just the word. If "Porsche" is in GT6, then the chances are 100% for Porsche being in the game, and Trollmeister Kaz as answered us all ready. We should be quite happy because of that. :cool:
 
I find it really interesting that in the past (GT4 and 5) if you read the description for RUFs they mention being tuner cars based on models from a famous manufacturer. In GT6 it specifically says that they are based on PORSCHEs. The specific use of the word plus the fact Kaz himself mentioned that PD has a positive relationship with the manufacturer makes me hope for a future DLC once the legal aspects are finalized, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if the cars are modelled already and that is all that is needed.
Small fix but that was in gt2, 3 and 4 while in gt5 and gt6 it says Porsche in the RUF car's description.
 
What's interesting is that on the back of the Yellow Bird it says "PORSCHE". It's hard to see with the naked eye, but go into photomode and use the high contrast black and white filter and it appears pretty clear. Right between the taillights.
 
Btw have you see in Le Mans 2013 Track a other Porsche Logo at the Start /Finish line ...We Come 2014 and somthing else
 
Porsche will be in the upcoming le mans, and if GT can somehow manage being the "Official Le Mans Game" that would be quite a way to bring in Porsche, both the GT2 car and the LMP1, even though PD does not like to make LMP Hybrids
 
Actually, PD has a GOOD relationship with Porsche. But they still cannot bring the Porsches yet because the rights ARE CURRENTLY OWNED BY Electronic Arts. BUT: AS SOON THE CONTRACT WITH EA EXPIRES, the Porsche WILL APPEAR ON GT game.

Stop shouting.

The excessive use of CAPS LOCK doesn't add weight or gravitas to your posts, it simply looks shouty and is not needed.
 
That's not what he's talking about, he is asking why RUF isn't being used anymore by PD, since the rest of the car racing game world seems to have a contract with them for use.
I'd reckon it's because they've been busy modelling other cars (ref the sometimes oddball premium inclusions of GT5 and 6). Nothing more than that.
 
They will Save Porsche for GT7 because it will be very attractive. And they need everything to raise interest again after GT5 and GT6.

(counting with the non renewing EA contract - but thats not sure)
