Gran Turismo 5 Prologue gets a pricetag and 'GT TV'

Sony Computer Entertainment BeNeLux today announced a estimated price for the Blu-ray Disc-version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which will be released in december. The BD-version will cost you 45 euro's, according to Sony.

Sony emphasized that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is actually a full game, like Warhawk. With 40 cars, 5 tracks, 1080p graphics, 60 frames per second and a whole new online world for up to 16 people, this game is worth 45 euro's. Sony will also introduce a new feature, called GT TV. Here, you can download tv-shows about cars. These programs will be localised, so England for example will get Top Gear and The Netherlands will get for example Veronica's 'De grote Beurt'.

too much tbh, it isnt a full game with only 5 tracks. I think a minimum of 20 for them to charge full price.

1.3 - You mean like how

MS made people buy crackdown to get into the Halo beta? Piss off.

@Jenzo: Firstly, while you may have bought the game for itself, a good amount of people bought the game specifically for Halo 3 Beta. Ms knew this. Also, my comment was directed and Evil Angel, who thinks MS didn't charge for the entrance.

I bought Crackdown but did'nt join the Halo 3 beta since I'm not much for online gaming. What I got was a superb game that I still play. It had all options a full game should have and I still play it from time to time.

Crackdown is Crackdown. It's not Crackdown Prologue with one city part, 2 agents and 4 different weapons. Lol.

Creds to Sony though, they know that a lot of PS3 owners would buy a sack of sh#t if it had the Playstation logo on it.

45 Euros seems a lot, but for a full game it is 60 Euros, so I expect this to be about £25-30 in UK, probably $45 is US. Also it is a full game and has 16 player online play, GT TV sounds great good for us in UK, we get on of the greatest Car shows ever, Top Gear.

If it's a full game, then why is it called Prologue? Are they gonna release GT 5: Epilogue after GT5 is out? The first pages of a novel can contain a prologue, but never in my entire life have I encountered a novel that only consisted of a prologue.

We already did get the GT demo, this is like a super demo. We WE DONT PAY FOR DEMOS. WE ALSO DONT PAY FOR THE BETA's IE warhawk. You had to buy crackdown if you wanted to be in the Halo beta.

@Jenzo - you seem so against GT5: Prologue there is not much point arguing with you.

I will say this though, even as "half a game" it still looks better than any other racing game available on all platforms. And it's not like they are asking you to pay full price, 45 Euro's 3/4 of what you would normally pay, and this is only the retail version.

How much do you think downloadable version will cost?

Even so I will wait for a review to see whether it is worth buying, but I will definitely get the full game whenever that is released

1.9 - Something to remember

Prologue is not something new for the GT series. They had a GT3 Prologue and a GT4 Prologue. They are full games, just not the final product. GT5 will have over 300 cars and many more tracks. GT5 Prologue is the full game, just limited.

Oh, and just to remember, as far as I know, only the BD version of GT5 Prologue will have damage. The PSN download will not.

1.10 - gaffyh

I can argue, no prob =) People b##tch about the length of Gears of War. They say it's not enough. Lots of talk about which games should be considered full games etc. They say EA's games should not be released because some of them have flaws. Then Polyphonic comes along and releases what is not even 1/3 of an upcoming title, and you say it's a full game? It does not matter how good the game is (I know it will be great), it's the principle of what they are doing that is sh#tty. How would you like it if other developers started releasing prologue glimpses of their games that you had to pay for? I don't like that thought.

To the morons bashing Crackdown. Look at it this way - You got a full game with the Halo 3 beta invitation or you got a Halo 3 beta invitation with the full game.

2 - Right FYI GT5: Prologue is NOT a demo

I take it you xbots never played GT4 Prologue

GT5 prologue is almost a full game, and is handy as you can transfer your cars, money etc over to GT5 when it arrives.

Right now tell me this

What 'demo'

has

16player online
HOME intergration
GT-TV - download Top gear ^_^ (thats right i live in the UK)
40 Cars
5 Tracks
Full single player with championships which you can win stuff on and offline multiplayer modes.
Plus More.

Go on tell me thats a demo?

Prologue games are great as it allows us to play GT games which i along with its massive fanbase want, rather than having to wait for months for the final game.

replys to comments

27 - or AKA theMART wanabee name the demo's which we have to pay for

32 - Agreed, it has never been a demo, its been much more than that

36 - Yes it has that but it also has tons of other features

Plus the fact that you will be able to get ten's of hours or more of gameplay out of it

yeah man u gotta think in regards to purchasing power. A rough estimate would compare 1 euro to 1 dollar. So for every one euro you use over there you can get the same by using one dollar here. Like I said a rough estimate (didnt PS3 over there cost 599 euros?.

This is not your regular less than 20 minutes demo my dear friend. I think most of us will be more than happy to pay 30 to 40 dollars for it. And with 16 player online and home integration, only GT5 can complete this package.

pupop, you're exactly right. And besides that fact, forza & pgr are still not made by the same studio even if they're both published by m$... so them copying each other would still be the same as gt5 having a similar aspect to the game... it's still one dev group borrowing ideas from another one.

All of these games needed more time to bake, but Sony pushed them to get the games out, regardless.

However it doesn't work like that. on that logic the PS3 would be 300quid over here. Europe is more expensive than america thus meaning that they will get it cheaper as they get tax added on after, plus other factors

18 - wow really

40 cars and 5 tracks is a totaly rip off for 60 bucks! Last time i looked (last time i was in Ireland) the dollar is around 1.8 in value compared to the pound. Im not real sure but i didnt think Egland and Northern Ireland use the Erou and they still use the pound.

ok that being said

I will still buy this game on day one just because i am a HUGE GT fan and i seen some gameplay video's that really looked awesome. Sony is pushing this out for the holidays and thats all well and good. But 60 bucks for a game with only 40 cars and 5 tracks is a bit steep. The online play better work perfect and if its intergrated with Home it will smooth out the fact i paided that much money for it.

GT is the daddy of all racers. Kinda like Halo/Unreal is the daddy of FPS

Not necissarily bud. Warhawk cost 30 Euro and 40 Dollars on PSN. Also Europe is well known for having the most expensive prices. Before the launch of the PS3 I remember reading an article about the PS3 costing more in Europe than anywhere else, With Britain having to pay the most of any country.

19 - btw

crash damage is over rated. I dont really care to see the damage so long as the car itself gets dammage. Like i dont need to run into a wall and see my front end smashed but i do want the car to run poorly if i did run into the walls.

u get what im saying

GT5 wont be out for a long time so GT prolouge will have to hold us over for a very long time. With online play it should be able to do that
