Gamersyde, 2007-12-11: "Polyphony just updated the official website of Gran Turismo, and what an update! No less than twenty-three fantastic screenshots of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, which looks as gorgeous as ever."
iLLGaming contributor Anikait Makkar writes about the gaming industry's current business practices, and how it affects the consumer.
free to play no matter how good the game is if it is a free to play i dont play.
i want to pay full price for a full balanced experience unlocks shouldn't be earned by money but by the hard work you put in the game.
my free to play nightmares are borderlands,diablo,titanfall,w arhawk 2,halo and star wars battlefront.
Worst business practices
Paying to play online (PS+, XBL)
Season passes
disc locked content
Paid DLC (DLC should be free unless it is significant enough to be an expansion)
Paying to use your own internet, DLC (all of it, I'd rather have expansion packs with a ton of content), DLC coming out a week after the game's release, incomplete games with missing sections sold as DLC, pre order bonuses, short and pointless campaigns, not having server lists (like COD which insert you into random games and maps), expensive and permanent digital prices, yearly sequels with minor changes at full price, lack of challenging AI, lack of originality, and most of Micro$ofts "business practices." This may sound like a hateful statement, but I blame M$ for bringing most of these things to consoles. I remember when there free and inexpensive map packs on Live in the early years of 2006 and 2007, then they started pinching pennies.
Who else here has been gaming long enough to remember when paying $50 got you the WHOLE game? No left-out content sold as DLC, disc-locked content, season passes, outfits, avatars, etc.
Excuse me, I need to go have a cry at what has happened to my beloved hobby.

all with the Polyphony treatment? Attention to friggen STITCHING?!?! Gran turismo has always been the closest ill get to X/Y/Z cars. And this is just the friggen DEMO?!!
I'm sorry, but this is the ONLY reason I bought my PS3. Forza has held me over, its Gran Turismo time.
I am very excited, and if that makes me gay.. well... I pitch.
Also, its very nice to see polyphony spend the time on the cars, but now.. look at that environment? Jaw dropping.. I love you Polyphony, I hate you for making me buy a g25 wheel, before the game is even out :)
looks like they ditched the sprite people too.
I haven't seen the city shots before, the game looks absolutely jaw dropping great car models and the scenery has improved as well...
I want to see damaged car screenshots...
Holy crap it looks so goooddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
