Sony Adds "Macro" transactions to GT6

[2 Up 2 Down]

The issue is, will Gran Turismo's progression system be adversely affected by microtransactions? Eurogamer's Martin Robinson has been playing the game and tells me GT6's economy works exactly the same as GT5's, with progression, payouts and car prices very similar.

It's for people that don't want to wait and grind it out.

Wasn't this thread already made today? And wasn't it already realized that this is basically a cheat you pay for and doesn't change the game like Forza does.

Now consider with both of these games:

-One has redesigned their economy to make it more difficult to win, gift or earn cars, and no longer awards cars to the player. The other has no fundamental changes to the economy at all.

-One has a button designated as a microtransaction button- hit it to access a boosters option to earn XP faster. And if you don't want to press a button, then hey, we'll put it on the menus as well so you can select it. The other game doesn't have a way to purchase microtransactions at all within the game. You have to exit the game and search the store to find it.

-One has day one DLC car packs for the low price of $50. The other has DLC car packs that will also be rolling out day one and in the months to come, all free, all original cars designed by different manufacturers.

-One has a low amount of tracks with more as paid DLC to come. The other has over 30 and will likely have DLC tracks as well, but isn't missing any of the essentials such as the Ring.


So to recap: one game has XP boosters, money DLC, car premium packs, track premium packs, a low amount of cars and tracks to start with, and a changed economy to skew for less giftable cars, and the other has the same in-game economy with free car DLC, lots of cars and tracks, and no microtransactions within the game whatsoever.

Sorry if I'm not outraged at this news that the OP so desperately wants me to be.

I cherry picked this from gaf

No, you were never forced into microtransactions with Forza. That was never the case and is just a piece of information that seems to have gotten far more twisted as it got spread along.

People didn't 'see' how hard it was to get money in Forza. People jumped to a lot of ignorant assumptions. They treated this as fact and then spread it to others. Before long, everybody and their dogs(most of which didn't have any knowledge or experience with Forza) were experts on how Forza was and told everybody how awful it was. That's still going on, actually, I don't know why I'm saying 'was' as if that's past tense.

If they do what Need for Speed does
Money for coins I'm all down for it, no access to cars without paying that's that shyt I don't like.

Not buying the game.

If you buy the game but not the microtransactions that still sends the message that it's ok for the microtransactions to be in there. If you don't care - understandable. I do care though and as such this will be the first GT I won't own.

It's a bummer.

Travesty, obviously Sony hates kittens, toddlers, and the american way of life. Evil Pricks.

This is anti consumer. I payed for the game why i gotta have the option to pay for other stuff.

Just read through the gaf thread.

Those dudes are miserable, seems like they just want to be mad and complain about everything.

I wish those dudes didnt have so much of a voice in the industry, their so stupid they don't understand that half of the fukkery the industry dishes out is a direct result of all their damn complaining.

i own 2k for next gen fukk you talking about nikka. 3xs as much VC suppose to be something to cheer for nikka for example in madden i can make a rookie and bring him up to 90+ within 5 games in 2k it'll take a season and a half of pure grinding to achieve that
