GT5 Prologue sold out - Play


Recommended Posts

I ain't trolling, just wondering why people are hyped up about a demo. Is it only Play thats sold out?

Uhh, maybe because it's the biggest racing franchise around? Like ive said in other topics.

Use some common sense as to why it's hugely popular - Remember a MP beta of Halo shipping with Crackdown? Look how well that sold, and that was only a MP taster as far as im aware.

Yes crackdown was a great game, and many would've bought it anyway, but you'd be silly to think sales didn't go higher due to Halo 3 being included.

You seem to have me as some GT hater, infact I'm not, I've owned all the previous GT games (except GT4: Prologue!). I know why its popular and why people are buying it but I just feel they are wasting time by producing this prologue and spend more time on the actual final game. Just feel they need to step up their game level with the arrival of Forza which is a great game with full damage which I know GT5 will feature some damage as you've told me as well as many others and reading about it.

Anyhow back on topic , is it just Play thats sold out?

I didn't say you were a hater, way to make assumptions (N)

I just think it's daft to come into a GT Prologue topic, and basically say "why is this selling?".

Prologue won't take away much time if any from the production of the final GT - It uses all the elements from the final, so only a very small team of people need to be involved in putting GT Prologue to market, on the time/focus side of things.

Every other GT has had Prologue, and you don't see Kazunori Yamauchi saying, "guys, if we didn't do Prologue, GT would be out faster!".

GT is never made "quickly" by say EA sports title standards, so that's the main reason Prologue exists.

I have no idea, only Play has been reported to be sold out. You'll be able to buy it off PSN today/sat anyway.

think its just play.com, as they were pretty much the cheapest most popular option. Game play sent mine as usual, it painful being at work knowing its waiting for me (along with kanes wrath damnit)!

It may one of the biggest racing franchise around, but this Prologue isn't that great (look at some of the reviews) Yes we heard about a million times that you get more content than other full price games but the asking price COMPARED to other GT games is really bad and it's just a way to get some money since the game isn't coming out until *sometime* in 2009.

I am not trolling, i was actually thinking of getting this game with the GT5p pack (see my other thread) but the reviews have turned me off now.

The game has no damage, Weak online system, Over stretched gameplay just to make you think like there is alot of content but there actually isn't and half of the cars included you can only race in arcade :wacko: Phonypoly/Sony really outdid themselves on this didn't they.

I know someone is going to create a huge rage now but this is the truth, if you don't believe me go and read the reviews. If we are going by the RRP in UK/?24.99 USA/$39.99 then it is certainly overpriced, whatever anyone says.

I think Play just had so many people ordering hence why they sold out/or just didn't get as many copies as others but that seems unlikely.

Thing is, I don't think Prologue will be anywhere near as good as GT5.

It never is!

It's just, this years helping of Prologue is far better than what we've had to spend our ?20-?25 on in previous years, which is why a lot of the uprising in negativity this year (mostly contributed due to where we sit with rivalaries between platforms) is causing a stir.

I never used to see much Prologue bashing in the past, it is what it is - A taster of the full thing for the fans. Which is why its puzzling when Prologue get's better than it's previous installments, the criticism increases.

It's far better value for money, considering what we paid for in the past.

It still may not be "value" for some people, but im sure if I put it to you/others in the way I have above, you'll see why it's actually BETTER value to us GT enthusiasts. We bought Prologue 2/3/4, so GT5 Prologue seems 10x better to us.
