| Munkeh111 said: Yeah, what is the number of cars, and are there any tracks? The only real thing that interests me will be if other developers follow suit. I won't be getting Forza 3 (I don't really care for these types of games, and GT 5 has the Top Gear test track), but if this becomes more commonplace, the capacity of the DVD might be an issue, but most games can just stick MP on a second disc This really isn't much of an issue, pretty much everyone realises that, but it is still annoying from an arcade user's point of view to be excluded from some of the content, even if it is minor. And while you may see it as free day 1 DLC, all I think when that happens is; why not stick that on the disc! |
Space is definitely an issue, Munkeh. As Matt stated in his post 104 cars, 29 tracks - but most are variations. The one missing the most is Honda.
I think for most games, the DVD-9 is good enough. Most games aren't done in 1080P and have room to expand. However, the second disc is used once to install the cars and tracks on the disc. I haven't seen anything saying they are required.
And the blob issue reminds me of the default car in Atari's Test Drive Unlimited. If you didn't download the car packs, you would often see this default car running around the island. The only way you could tell what kind of car it was if you got close enough to see the rims.
In the end, if a person is THAT concerned about a game that they a. can't afford to buy a HD and b. say 'That's a dealbreaker for me,' that's their pity party, not ours. I do not think most Arcade and Core owners - if any of them are still working - are that overly concerned or worried about missing a few cars out of the game.
