I believe it's what is called a 'win-win'.
Tell me if SONY pictures announces a film starring James Franco as Senna.
So how much money is Sony actually giving?
If GT6 sells a bunch of copies? A portion of that.
If GT6 sells a shitton of copies? A bigger portion of that than if it only sold a bunch of copies.
So you have no idea then? Until Sony give outs some actual numbers on how much money will they donate per unit sold and/or what their donation cap is, I'll assume this is basically another case of pinkwashing.
Gamers couldn't handle it anyway. You pretty much had to be a superhuman freak to drive those cars fast.

That's so awesome. I really feel the industry should be doing WAY more charity and fundraising for compromised children. Games is the perfect outlet to do such. GG Sony.
Maybe it just goes to show that Sony is starting to truly care for their developers
F1 is "undecided", but given the licensing issues I wouldn't count on it.
As for F1, of course we've always wanted to add more F1 cars, and to make an F1 game, but we haven't made any movement to acquiring the license, so there's no set timeline for it yet, but it's something we're looking at.
We were interested to create a game with the Formula 1 license but had to withdraw. That industry is a monster, so big that any agreement you want to get forces you to make a financial outlay that we can not afford.
Given PD's track record, I wouldn't really get my hopes up about the Senna integrated stuff. It's gonna be half baked at best.
Imagine if we get F1 cars. Flying around Interlagos in that MP4
Huh?

Sony seriously need to stump up some cash to make it happen, another Codemasters release will just be heartache for F1 fans.
wtf does this even mean?
I'm just saying how cool it is that Sony is interested in donating a portion of their sales to an institute of a racer whom the creator idolizes and whose achievements pushed him to create a franchise. .
That's quite a change to the backstory, in the past Kaz has only referred to his desire to make a car museum / database and that the racing was only really to show the cars off. And that was just something to do while planning on making a RPG.
I'm not trying to downplay Sony here, I'm saying if GT6 was handled by a different publisher, we probably won't have this initiative right out of launch.
Maybe it just goes to show that Sony is starting to truly care for their developers (especially those who have been with Sony for a long time)?
I'm not sure if money is the only factor. Notice that F1 games always come out every single year? I remember reading that doing that is part of the contract as well.

That's kind of a daft conclusion.
Senna being rated highly amongst Motorsport fans is quite common.
I haven't made any conclusions only referenced what Kaz has talked about in the past.
Here is the Sony Brazil's press conference event for Brazil Game Show where they called Viviane Senna, to announce this:

Oh God....Also found this one ...
Will do everything humanly possible to snag one of these bundles, Kaz officially gets my seal of approval!
I wonder if his old Lotus we saw on the ingame Goodwood screens will be in there?
She said most things about Ayrton and how he wanted kids to have opportunities in life, like he did. She thanked Sony for the opportunity of partnership to help Instituto Ayrton Senna, but they didn't announced GT6 with Ayrton by then, so everyone was pretty much wondering what partnership she was talking about.Thanks
Can we have a translation of what Viviane said please?
