To be fair rockstar’s stealth seems more effective.
Don’t have to hide something that never existed in the first place.
Well, making the graphics look realistic is expensive and time consuming. Modern people have developed a really good eye for spotting imperfections so if you want them to believe what they are seeing is real, it takes years of development and high end computers.
As for GTA 6, I don't know, bloat I guess.
While sure that may be the case, nobody is asking for realistic graphics, people are happy with pixel art games and good looking games, if the story and gameplay is there the graphics are secondary.
nobody
Me! And plenty others. Nothing's wrong with pixel games, but sometimes people want strong immersion, and realistic graphics helps a lot.
Did you know that others might enjoy different things? :)
2bn is a fuckload of gamedev salaries.
Its barely enough to wake the finance department at raytheon. They need fatter margins to embezzel with.
2 billion for something you can't even physically touch, such morons. I'd rather have this flying thing.
The difference is that if you don't want GTA 6 then your money doesn't go to it. We didn't have that choice for the flying dorito.
That's true. I wanted my money to go to a flying Dorito but Mom said no :(
Something aboit how i need to be 12 before I am allowed to fly weponized aircrafts :(
I think you could get a waiver for that these days.
Yeah, as long as they have had a job for at least five years, 12 year olds can fly a fighter jet in most US states. (This is obvious satire, that is unfortunately becoming less obvious with time.)
In 2025 USD the bombers cost more than 4 billion per unit btw:
"By 1996, the program produced 21 B-2s at a total cost of $44.7 billion (equivalent to $91,820,000,000 in 2025) or average cost of $2.13 billion (equivalent to $4,370,000,000 in 2025) per aircraft, including procurement, development, testing, and production"
.....does this imply that a 50k/yr job in 1995 was equal to about 100k/yr now?? My gen z brain cant comprehend the world you people are from
I like that the answers you got are definitively "yes" and "no."
"You people" 🥲
I was born in the late 1900s but i never got to really experience it. I do not remember a world before 9/11, Patriot Act, forever wars in the east.
Pretty much. The USD's half life is 28 years.
Serious answer: it's comparing apples to oranges. For the B-2 the total cost of the program was about $45 billion and about double that in today's dollars. You get that two billion figure if you divide the total program cost by the 21 B-2s built, but you could've never developed and built a singular B-2 for just the unit price. And that's still double of GTA after adjusting for inflation
No game is worth a $2bn development cost; most games I play nowadays are indie and AA anyways.
yeah but imagine how many indie games could've been funded with the B-2 bomber budget(~42B)...
I still to this day can't understand where this fact of them using 2 billion dollars for a fucking video game has come from.
Time and wages.
Remember how long it is in development and how many work on it
I mean GTA 5 online still makes them nearly a billion a year and they never planned for that. I think they're going to have a hard time getting people to leave FiveM servers for GTA6 and that's why PC isn't a focus
cant wait for gta 6 to be 1000 euros
I bet there including the development cost of the other games as well to inflate this price.
Aeron chairs aren't free, bro.
I was already convinced that GTA VI was the better value, even before all the detailed comments about how much more expensive the first bomber was than the lastest.
Any time someone acts out any violent fantasies in a video games, rather than as a head of state, that's a win.
Supreme meme the juxtaposition is on point... its on sum dum_sheet... Like why the plane, why the game and like we should be able to do thangs .... this is insame. Like an onion it has got layers or gum which I could chew on for hours. Its a mad world... don't tell me the way things are "jUsT hOw ThE wOrLd WoRks".... This my dear friends is a collection of poor choices manifested as a success. It is all about managing perception. This country is sinking in debt... People roaming aimlessly through the streets.. all we got is over hyped over priced bloody treats. The kids are disturbed and I know why. Oh and that stealth it is on its way out with the invention of Quantum Radar. On a path to no where... tracks comming to end we reach the precipiss of our only earths limitations. You flew around the moon whooo who, just wip it out and measure... you'd save us a lot of money. It is closing time and you can't stay here. They will never learn, their legacy is a sh!+ stain, get out the way and let the kids play. It is the pursuit of capital and its inefficiencies not malthusianism. It is a system of abuse where people find shelter in subcultures only to be exploited, gated and monitised by venture capital. Like the drug dealer gives a taste then rips it away so you only work for treats. Like a little dog we are nipping at their heels. trying to get them to just do the bare minimum. One trick ponys, phoneys and gate keeping tu_rds. Punks fade... fascist linger like a fart. Lame... over it and moving on.
