Nope, even on a technical standpoint, textures were bad, character models looked like rubber action figures, but the art style was even more atrocious.

Like Star Wars, there's a demand for it, it's a much bigger series than Gran Turismo will ever be, it's left a bigger impact and it's transcended video games more so than any other series I could think of.

The Halo thread on this site is the largest thread in the video game section with 1200+ pages, people here discussing the lore, the EU, there are several people here are avid fans of the Halo EU without being hardcore fans of the game, most of them have most likely played through the stories in the games but aren't hardcore Halo players, especially Halo MP players,

Is Star Wars considered milked? Because Halo is to video games what Star Wars is to movies, it's the biggest science fiction franchise in video games and there's a demand for the books, comics, graphic novels, because people actually give 2 shits about Halo as more than a game, in fact there are tons of people who are into Halo without actually being fans of the game, they just enjoy Halo as a universe. Gran Turismo doesn't come anywhere close to that level of recognition.

I now genuinely think that you may be mentally retarded....how do I know no one has tried? That's called an abstract argument, you're asking me to prove something that can't be proven. Their games sell 6 million copies over the course of a year despite massive budgets and marketing, where a game like COD or GTA sells that many copies in a few days...on one console...that's why they aren't very desirable and worth paying more than an industry standard salary, they're an overrated developer and their games don't sell as well as main stream titles. I understand that it's probably very comfy up there in the depths of Sony's ass but you should really consider getting some fresh air, and a better argument while you're at it.

Metroid is a flagship but Kirby and DK aren't? Dafuq? It's been 5 years since we got a Metroid game yet three's been at least 2-3 Kirby and DK games in that same time period.

Because no one has tried, They simply aren't worth paying that much because they aren't that good of a developer and their games don't sell as well as the COD/GTA' out there, I stated that IF they were offered substantially more money they'd leave without a second thought.

I never said that Sony couldn't afford to pay them, I said that would it be easy for a company who isn't barely keeping above water like Sony is to swoop in and grab ND's talent if they wanted to, by offering them more money and a more stable future, which is absolutely true, your pathetic strawman isn't helping your argument, and seriously? Exodus? Dafuq are you talking about? Take your lips off of Sony's ass and breath a little.

At least give Grenadelauncher some points for creativity.

Because they finally turned a profit after a string of losses? No, come back after 3-5 years of Sony continuously turning a profit and then will talk. If someone offered ND employees a job with a substantially larger salary and the chance to work for a company that doesn't have to chop off their limbs to stay afloat like Sony does, they'd leave in a heart beat, you'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.

Nothing else comes close ...
