That's not possible in Belgium.

Pimpwerx said:Not apparent at all in the video. I listened to the whole thing. They bitch about the online mode being delayed in a game that's really a glorified demo. But then they don't spend nearly as much time discussing why 16 player online is worth the wait. It's twice what the direct competition offers (FM2) and anyone who's played the demo know already that traffic adds an entirely new element to the game. Winning races isn't going to be a walk in the park with that level of competition. Oh...but it's delayed...waaaah! Maybe they'd have been happier had PD just delayed Prologue altogether. Or maybe it'd just be something else to bitch about. PEACE.
Opus Angelorum said:Well that is certainly not the angle I am coming from.
I just think this concept has been highlighted for examination in the current climate of DLC.
Y2Kev said:And given the sheer amount of time it takes Polyphony to make "HD upgrades" in the style they are doing them, I don't think Prologue is a terrible idea.
Wish it was 29.99 though.
Opus Angelorum said:I understand that it offers more than a standard demo.
My real concern is not related specifically to GT5, with the current state of DLC I'm just worried that the idea of paying for a 'demo' of a game might set a precedent.
BigBoss said:There just seems to be a lot of people complaining about an issue they didn't care about a couple years ago.

So then, do you maybe try to be objective and balance what you know with what you don't know? It was Ryan bitching about what wasn't there and that's about it. I don't know anymore about GT5P now than I did before. But I sure as shit know it's missing online mode. PEACE.SeaOfMadness said:how can they? they haven't been able to play it yet! all they could say is "it sure would be nice to play online with 16 players. i bet it's great".
but no one outside of PD knows how it plays with 16 players yet. the first taste we will get is on the 25th (assuming that isn't delayed).

Visualante said:I'm shocked people are defending GT5 Prologue. Wouldn't you rather spend $40 on cars and tracks that will be made available as an addition to the final game? I'm not paying that to play early, I'm shocked it has no tuning- I hope everyone buys Paradise and falls in love with its online instead of buying this glorified beta test.
What's next, charging for Home beta and Little Big Planet prologue?
Domestic pricing is still unknown afaik, as is an official release date.Visualante said:Stop shitting up my thread Juniors.

SPEA said:WTF at this thread?! Are we 12?
Have some freaking respect. I'm sure you are all super models sitting behind your keyboards. Grow up.
Edit:
Yup Exactly. To make matters worse, a mod (EviLore), basically started the whole thing.
No one tells you to pay for it :/. In fact, it's not even out yet outside Japan. GT5P is made for enthusiasts, oh, and it's the best racing game around minus the ammount of content.Visualante said:Stop shitting up my thread Juniors.

Fans have bought a lot of copies of this game, they're very loyal. Myself included.vpance said:It's a game for the fans. They get a taste of GT they've been waiting so long for, now, as opposed to at least a year later. Also from Polyphony's point of view, the prologue keeps the GT series in the public's mind and makes them some easy cash. It's worse business to not keep the franchise active out there in some form.
Pimpwerx said:You are clearly not a fan, so you would not understand why some of us will gladly pay for Prologue. It's worth it to a large number of people. It's far from a beta test. The feature set of this "beta test" alone puts most others to shame. I don't like the idea of a Prologue, but I'm ready to pay for the sneak preview all the same. Why? IT'S WORTH IT. Maybe not to you, but you're not the intended target of the game anyway. PD knows its fanbase. PEACE.
What does it offer:SeaOfMadness said:i agree. i made the same points in the GT5P thread and caught some flak for it. but i agree with what he said. that's exactly how i feel. it's not a demo. no one would pay for a demo. it's not even a beta.
it's a finished "game" that's a stopgap solution to appease the hardcore fans and give everyone hope that GT5 is on the horizon.
but besides the obvious graphical upgrades, what does GT5P offer that other racers haven't already done? not much. what does it *not* offer? plenty. all the stuff he mentioned, in fact. like him, i want GT5, not this version.
It did get significantly better AI, I couldn't care less about crashes as long as there's a good penalty system implemented.What are you comparing it to? Unless GT5P Magically got significantly better AI + car damage, it's still a scrubby Sim.

I AM JOHN! said:So just because they've done it before means that it's okay to ask you to potentially invest $100 in the game? Great logic there.
Yeah, but then compare it to Juiced 2, or NFS Pro. The game has quite a few cars, 8 different tracks, and features that you won't find anywhere else. When you compare it to full product, it's not even half a game, but when you compare it to competition, it can stand up tall.Opus Angelorum said:What is to stop any other publisher releasing a game that is 10% feature complete and expect people to pay $40/£25 for it?
I understand there is a percentage of hardcore users that will always be willing to pay for any related content, but at what point does this alienate everyone else?
