Gamedaily writes: "It occurred to us, as we navigated through Gran Turismo 5 Prologue's version of London, that this is the perfect visual companion to PlayStation 3. Here's a console-sleek, expensive, fully loaded- that begs for attention. Gamers don't buy this machine to play Xbox 360 ports. They crave its sex appeal, that "look at me" attitude that has them gushing over Blu-ray movies gloriously displayed in high-definition. GT5 falls in line with this philosophy, delivering a gorgeous looking, damn near photo-realistic experience that begs to be gawked at. It also helps that it's entertaining, a solid playing racer that serves as the appetizer to GT5.
On the positive side, not all racing games have 150 cars, and the more we thought about Polyphony Digital's selection, the more we realized it trimmed the fat by eliminating some of the lame rides no one should want to drive. Second, despite the low track count, we appreciate the developer's attention to detail. GT5 Prologue is, without question, one of the most gorgeous video games in existence. This isn't just some standard issue racer with a pretty exterior. This is a labor of love, Polyphony's gift to the masses. Once you see the water, the cloud dotted blue sky and the sunlight reflecting off the tracks, not to mention the beautiful cars, you'll obsessively watch replays to admire the craftsmanship."
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.
