Sucking news from the Japanese magazine Famitsu has been the only way to find out more information regarding Gran Turismo 5 and the standard series taster to be released shortly, GT5 Prologue. A series of five large sized scans from the latest Famitsu are now up online.
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.

that's why i love the real driving simulator.
Wow updates for this game are still coming. i wish all companies were like this

these dudes are competing with real life.
these guys have been trying there hand at this game for a long time now, with great success i may add. the last 2 got kinda repetitive for me. i hope this is the one that starts my engines up again
in car cam - real time weather effect - and i heard some talk of car damage this time around(not confirmed)
please if you dont agree, dont rate me down just ignore me.
Can someone tell me if there will be car damages in game?
Im happy the pitstop is still in this game, can,t wait for a 20lap race.
IM OUT...///"""
They said before ( read on this site ) that damage would be implemented as download content, but can't surely say because there are still some issues of discontent from a few car manufacturers.
That is why I am also wondering, does that mean not all vehicles would have damage? ( which is kind of crazy... )
Also with all the different titles that GranTurismo has like ( GT-HD which is suppose to be GT4, then this GT5 Prologue Series, will it actually be GT4 1/2?, and followed by the { true } GT5. )
But I must say what this would mean to the next GranTurismo series ( 6th ). Many, and I mean many manufacturers will surely want to be included in that game ( with such drop dead georgeous graphics they would all want to be in it ). That would be like a huge complement and give all those manufacturers with a great deal of advertisement. Like being invited to be a guest star on the Simpsons cartoon.
too good to be true
i like it.
