"…private races with buddies and in-game chat are all in the works… but will not be ready from day one. Will keep you posted on the progress!"
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.
TechPrezz: The Grand Turismo 5 update 2.08 is set to be released and coming with a trio of new DLCs and will be launched on coming Tuesday

The ID’s are now shown above cars when watching online races. There are also some other improvements. The Grand Turismo 5 2.08 is coming as free downloadable update.
that's why i love the real driving simulator.
Wow updates for this game are still coming. i wish all companies were like this
Chillopedia.com | PlayStation 3 is the hot favourite console in the console gaming community. Game developers know this and they try to make the best out of it by introducing addictive and interesting games now and then. We have compiled a list of top 10 driving games for PS3.
Even better! I kind of expect private rooms anyway. Never mind, at least its coming.
Im still undecided on is Gt prologue. Just downloaded the forza 2 march car pack and im remembering how much joy ive had with this game. Just qualified for an online b class tournament in my bmw m3 2008.
To people who have not played forza 2(the first forza ive played had gt4 before this) they won't understand the infatuation but its the way the cars handle,the sense of speed and danger from driving to the limit with simulation damage. Even the graphics on a hd tv are very pretty and although it does not look as realistic as gt the graphical style gives it a very indivdual art look that i kinda love(rather like pes) while it doesn't go for exact realism but rather a representation.
But most of all the online exp due to the passionate community. from buying a beautiful drifter at the auction house, to scrapping a win in a career race/tournament, or creating your own race car right down to the paint work.
Guess im just not ready to move on to another car game just yet with pgr4 and forza2 keeping me warm. Ive decided for me prologue although beautiful just does not have enough features to get me to replace my beloved friends just yet. Come gt5 i think i'll be ready.
should be there from start as of any other racer out there
still getting it though......but should of been there from the start
What part of there will be damage in the full game do you morons not understand. They said they where not putting damage into the prologue as they wanted it to be proper car damage not just make it look like your car is damaged. Forza damage is unrealistic. This why they want to perfect it and not just throw it in there so wingers can say it's unrealistic.
out of the box! the features that have been standard for about 4 years, are not even present in an 08 release! how long before they are available via a patch?
