Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be free

Posted on August 25th, 2007 at 22:40 EDT

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will apparently be a free download on the PlayStation Network when it is released. According to Yamauchi in a Gamespot Hands on, the game will be released as a free experience on the PSN later this year. We contacted SCEI, and they said

"Yes, it will be free for download on the PSN, and we are thinking of charging---but doubt it. For now it is free."

Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 promises to possibly be the most exacting and detailed racing video game ever. The Gran Turismo 5 Prologue gives you an online-enabled sampler of the GT5 experience. In the Prologue, will be dozens of different cars, and a few variety of environments to explore before the official games grand debut.

Well the plan was always originally to have two GTs one with all the cars installed and a downloadable version which required you to buy the cars. People innitially came out against the idea and micropayments that were going to be part of the plan, Mostly because they assumed you'd have to buy each and ever car and race track individually for far more than the cost of a full game. Now that people have had a chance to explore the concept of DLC for free or for fee they have a better idea of what to expect and add to the fact thet the innitial version will be free might make the concept of downloadable car/track patches for a small fee less horrific.

such a good move with the free aspect. everyone who downloads it (wich is every one who owns a ps3) will def buy the game.

that's the smartest move sony could every do. let people test drive one of their best selling games for free before them full game comes out

isn't Prologue just a pre-taste of the full GT5, nothing else (don't get me wrong, it's great). A litle bit more than a demo. Just to make people more waiting the full Gt5 ? anyway, can't wait for it..

yay another Sony christmas present.

It may be a demo but it's also a fully functioning online racing game. There's a news post that suggests the game might have 50 cars just for a demo and the chance to race those online is a serious extra added value if it's true.

Wow I woulda o totally bought this for 60$ lol. Even so thats awesome. They will proably do Charged Updates to the game like A.I., Collision Etc.. for 9.99$. So you can basically either Do a Prolouge to GT5 conversion through microstransactions OR.... Buy the FUll GT5 in one fell swoop. Thats my take on it anyway.

I would have easily payed money for this. Damage and in car views along with online racing is just going to be amazing! I can't freakin wait

holy garsh this is sooo retarded. its not a free game. its called a demo. thats like saying you can have free ketchup in a packet. they didnt call the DiRT demo a "free game." they didnt call the BioShock demo a "free game." you dont call those Orbitz pop-up games "free games." its marketing. you're going to get one track and a few cars. then you are going to have to buy the game becuase you beat the "prologue" and now want to advance to the real dookie.

Marketing indeed! But not only marketing, but clever marketing. Of course SONY's real goal is to appeal to more potential customers to purchase the console - which will definately work. The PS2 owners who loved GT4 but still don't own the PS3 will find it hard to resist. Call it a demo or a prologue or whatever - but it's more sales for SONY. This festive season, I predict even stronger console sales than the price cut sales improvement for the month of July - because more games are coming out - and of course, for those that will have spent all their money on the console, get it with a free taste of GT5. Good stuff!

It may be free in other places, but were i live its freakin $39.99 for the download. But its totaly worthit! the graphics (Especialy in 1080p resolution) Look to be the most realistic ever! And this is just the demo. HA TAKE THAT CRISIS!!!!!!!!!!!
