some call it charity, some call it marketing.

The recipients of the charity money probably don't give a damn either way.

That is some really, really good initiative. Nice one, Sony.

What doc is everyone talking about?
I live in a country that doesn't have Netflix.

From the top of my head there's like a dozen Senna moments they could be recreating, like 2k did when they got MJ.

Suzuka testing the NSX

And your driver would have to wear the same sun glasses, BOSS jacket, white socks and "penny loafer" slip-on shoes! :lol

So is it for every copy of the game or just the console bundle?

That's nice of them but having Senna on the box is a huge thing so it's more an investment in marketing than something altruistic.

It's freaking GT. It's not like it will quadruple the sales because Senna is on the box. You'd have a point if they did that with a new racing IP from a random studio.
It's a much better move than slapping, I don't know, Schumacher's face on the box and then giving him a couple million for that.

Thank you good sir.

The DLC is for every region, but I think the box with the Senna logo is exclusive to Brazil.

No I mean the bit of money going to the Senna Institute.

Oh, during the livestream they mentioned that it's for every copy.

Hopefully he doesn't look as bad as Jeff Gordon in-game.

Yep, he looked like the devil...

or a zombie

Watched this again last night.

Couldn't recommend it more whether you're into racing or not.

Here is 45 minutes of automative bliss: a cockpit cam of Senna chasing Prost around Suzuka in 89. The sound of that Honda engine+ Senna's driving are pretty thrilling.

If PD has the license for the Mclaren/Honda MP4, I see no reason why they couldnt recreate this in-game.
