Speaker 1 (00:15):
Tom of Duchy life.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Guys, I play real games every day.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
A game that I have been very excited about for many,
many years is Grand Theft Auto six. It's been delayed
so many times, thirteen years. We've been waiting, Wow, the
long bloody time, and they kept telling us it's coming, guys,

(00:41):
It's coming.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
And that was years ago.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Anyway, it finally was available for pre order last week,
which is exciting. Comes out officially in November, I believe.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Still, you're still going to wait until November. Still got
to wait?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
They reckon.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
It's going to be the greatest driving game in computer
game history.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Okay, better than Crash Team Racing. Oh, it'll be close,
but better. The need for speed high pursuit might just
get it. I was.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I mean, I've read so many things about it over
the years, but one of the biggest things, that biggest
things that sticks out and people talk about is how
much this game has cost to make, oh to make
to make right And you probably because you're not in
the gaming world. So you probably haven't heard.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I don't care, but take a guess to make it.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
To make it?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
So, how much is how much money's gone into making
the game?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
It's comparable to movies because there's that much special effects
and things involved. Yeah, I'll say one hundred million dollars
to make the new GTA six game.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
One hundred million. Producers, have you seen anything?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Am I out of reach? Because I thought I was
like under a million, under a million.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Under a million, that's a million is a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, do you know how much things cost lost?

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Okay, under a million, ella, maybe fifty million, but honestly
it could be. Reports say that to make the new
GTA six.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It costs under a drum roll.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Two billion dollars. What two billion?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I thought I would do a little bit of a
comparison of things that cost less, oh my god, than
to make.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
This video game.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
Okay, you could buy You could buy an Aston Martin,
not the car, the whole company, the less, which is
about five hundred to six hundred million.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
You could buy forty Eiffel towers, which would cost you
around and we're talking US money. Okay, it's US two billion,
forty Eiffel towers.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Just the steal. The Eiffel Tower's got to be worth
a couple of billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
So it costs around one point five million back in
eighteen eighty nine. Okay, but I have adjusted for modern inflation,
so roughly it would cost around forty five million to
fifty million.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Oh, wack up the eif Tower. We should give markle tower.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, so you could get around forty Eiffel towers. Yeah,
before the cost of GTA six. The Bush Khalifa, which
they say cost around one point five billion to build. Wow,
you could get that before the Sydney Opera House. You
can buy that, which would cost around one point two

(03:41):
billion today.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
To make the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
You can buy that as well, um, which cost around
one point five billion to make today. The top five
movies in the world, you can make all five. You
could make all five movies.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
That's basically all the Marvel movies.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
For less money then it costs to make GTA six.
You could buy the Mona Lisa.

a video game.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
People are passed off because there's no CD for Grand
they'ft Auto six, No way, it's just you pay that
much money. They just give you a code and you
download it, which means that you can't sell it after
you've played it. That's where they stit you up. Oh

the game and then you hock it off on trade
and buy and you reinvest.
