Forums - Gaming Discussion - Full version of Gran Turismo 5 over a year away....

If it's not a demo, then why release a game under the same name this year and again next year? Not much sense right there. Fact of the matter, if the prologue version will be so massive, it might end up hurting the actual game in sales. Because we still don't really know what the differences will be between both games. Do we even know if there will be damage modeling? Last i heard, rather not.

 GT4 Prologue, and all the GT Concept games never hurt sales.

Good point. let's ask EA Sports that question. :P

I don't get the whinning here. This isn't the first time they've done this. Don't like it? Don't buy the game.


Although I find the most whinning are  usually coming from people who don't even own the console. *sighs*

Were those games ever as big as this prologue is shaping up to be? Right now you have people talking about the game as if it were the actual GT:5. I don't hear voices saying: whoah if this is only a "demo" then how great is the real game?" i only hear :"yeahh, best racing sim ever." Where does that leave GT5 ?

 

@KingOfWales 

 I supposed that your snazzy remark means that you're ok with paying 100$ for one game? In two different packages? That's what it's actually about in this thread. People are just ok with being lured into paying almost twice the price for the same game? Or will someone try to prove me that both of the games are vastly different from one another?

The only Bullcrap is you calling it a demo, GT5p is more a full game then half the wii games you own.

Go cry elsewhere Mars, from a difinitional standpoint i'm right calling GT5:P a demo, as it just does what a demo does. I agree that for a demo it is quite a game, but nontheless it is only a portion of what we are to expect in GT5, am i not right?

My "snazzy remark" represents my view on this topic, DOn't like it? Don't buy the game, Nobody is forcing you to.

Do what I'm going to do, wait for a year and then buy GT5. Nobody is asking you to buy GT5P, and certainly nobody is making you buy BOTH

Keep the trolling down Mars.  Wojtas, try not to be so confrontational.

At least according to gamepro: http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=172168

 

What do you guys think about it? Does this seem credible? Or maybe this a fast one on Sony's side to raise the sales of the prologue version? IMO opinion this is just bullcrap to make a "demo" of a game and ask for 40$ and later on expect people to shell out another 60$ for the real thing.

What are Your thoughts?

Maybe compared to other Gran Turismo's it seems like a demo, but there are other racing games with less that charges a full $60

 



There may only be one GT game on the PS3 due to the PSN and if thats the case they can take all the time they want. Too many great games this year anyways, the full GT5 game can come next year along side the FF games.
