Cheers for posting, the director of the Ascari track said 250 polyphony people were working on recreating Ronda and the Ascari track for a year. Are there 250 PD employees then?
I've been thinking that it's an unknown amount of people worldwide associated with PD, or essentially, are employees, in addition to the +150 people that work in Tokyo and Fukuoka. The figure of "140-150 employees" hasn't changed since before GT5 released even when there's been evidence of PD hiring (which shouldn't be a surprise) coupled with having been over three years since we first "knew" PD has at least 140 employees makes me think work is outsourced, but not finalized until it goes through PD (so that PD themselves aren't carrying the entire workload.)
The guy said there were 250 people who worked on capturing/taking pictures, or other such things, of Ronda for over a year to be in the game, then he mentioned the 150 programmers back at Polyphony. Obviously, he doesn't mean all of PD would be working on installing Ronda into the game since he worded it as generally as he did.
His intention was to give praise to the people who worked on getting Ronda into the game by saying, "the attention/publicity that will be provided (through the game) to the thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people that will be 'driving/racing' their courses around the streets of Ronda because of the game", basically is what he was saying when he stated the number of people involved which sounded something like, "the work done by the people of 'Sony Polyphony', those that have 'created' a virtual reality, the work done by 150 programmers during the course of a year, and 'overall', the work that you see on the screen and you'll see in the game has taken over a year of work by 250 people."
That is essentially what he says after the 3:40 mark in the video. There really weren't many times when he was using periods in his statements.
You're from Spain, you can clarify what he said, no?
If that's what they said it's wrong. 250 Man-days maybe or 250 calender days by 1 or more people maybe...
Definitely not what he said or meant. Mister dog should have made it more clear though. I'm sure there are some native speakers of Spain's spanish
and there have been some really good translations, especially recently about Ronda/Ascari in GT6, made by a couple of people on GTP. In the video, they also state the thing about December 2 and 3 being days in which more information will be made available.
