Gran Turismo 5 might not even roll out before 2010.

Well you do know that GT3: Prologue and GT4: Prologue came out...right?

You just threw a monkey wrench in his whole plan...

not at all. now i see it's a pattern. they come out with half ass demos, and you guys pay for them! then down the road they come out with the "real" version... and you guys buy them too.

it makes even more sense to me now.

[Onslaught X]

but it doesn't.

did they patch in chatting while racing yet? is that part of the 2.41.. you can private match the whole time you're racing?

EXACTLY, Mid. That's why it isn't the main 5th installment in anyway. It is exactly what the title says.

Actually, GT3: Prologue and GT4: Prologue never came out in the US. This is the first time us US people actually laid down money for em.

Personally I'm all in favour of letting them finish the game properly before release. Much better that they take their time and release the truly polished GT5 than rush it out to hit some arbitrary deadline.

In the meantime how about they spend some time fixing the online on GT5:P also

Do you realise just how much content is in GT5:P?

You cannot claim it is a demo by any reasonable definition of that word.

[Onslaught X]

I just call it Prologues like the title states. Maybe a Beta while I'm at it.

i know there's a lot of stuff for it... but is there damage yet? can you chat in the game while you're racing yet? can you pick races with your friends that you want to race together yet?

imo, that stuff is basic stuff that should be in the game. if all that stuffs in the game right now... then i'll be dl'ing it sooner then later.

As far as I know, no. But that's what does make it a Beta essentially.

[miDnIghtEr]

if they could patch in red turtle shells and some sweet ass shortcuts... that would help too!

He can claim whatever he wants.
It's the internet.

GT5:P is not a full GT obviosly, I would say it's more of a pre-expansion.

lol.. i didn't see he wrote "You cannot claim"

really? ok.. uhm.. didn't sony themselves call this game a demo? wasn't that the big stink around here for months in threads... about paying for a demo?

ya...

DEMO...DEMO...DEMO...DEMO...DEVO...ERRR DEMO...DEMO...

Would Prologue accurately define the word?

No there is no damage (unless you count a time penalty as damage) but I have never understood the obsession people have with damage modelling in GT. When you are playing the game properly the whole point is not to crash.....So why would I be bothered about a feature that I am not going to need? I always think its the same as somebody asking why the quarterback cant run into the stands and headbutt an opossing fan in a football game. Whilst it might be a fun way to spend 5 mins when your bored its not what you are supposed to be doing in the game.

Nope to chatting in game or picking races with friends. I believe they have said that they will be adding that and frankly the sooner the better.

But again none of that takes away from the fact that this is NOT a demo.

There is far too much content within this to even remotely call it a demo. It may not be a full release of GT based on just how big those games are but it is worlds away from a demo.

[RedRedSuit]

It's, once again, not a demo, because it includes more content than 99% of racing games and because there has never been a demo with this much stuff.
