If there's day-1 DLC, it better not be monetary. If it is content that was supposed to be and COULD have been on the disk on day 1, we shouldn't be charged for that. It takes time to print and ship several million disks, and that time could probably be used to finish some more content. Which, if it's day 1 DLC, was therefore finished pre-launch. I'm fine with day-1 updates for this reason, but not payed content up until at least a month has gone by.

There is day 1 DLC. 25 unique vehicles.

Looks like it will be five different packs. Five cars in each pack.

It all comes free if you pre-order the Anniversary Edition.

How much would you pay for the codes?

 

[Tornado]

How do you know it isn't something they are working on right up until the last minute and it's not ready in time to make it on the disc? Point is you don't know so why fret about it?

Actually, most publishers don't do a particularly good job of hiding it, so it's usually pretty easy to determine.

 

[lancia delta hf]

Not only would i not buy day 1 DLC but i will never buy a game that has day 1 DLC, Its dispicable

 

[Vspectra]

Like many already said, it's a bit of a rip-off seeing that these cars are already prepared on release, so why didn't they include them then? It's not only PD doing this but i hear T10 also.

If the DLC was produced after the game's release no problem, but this stinks a little.

These cars are still in the game. Just without the GT anniversary livery.

Exactly, like is this DLC I am downloading a 25kb unlock code file (items were already on disc) or a 100+MB file of true add ons (finished after the game shipped)?

 

[frivoloushobby]

I would hope that PD is smart enough that at least for the first month or so all DLC they post is (always) available for free, then start charging for anything new after that.

Agreed. Good avatar too by the way

 

[TBR 427]

If there's going to be a day1 patch, they'll most likely be in there.

Obvious signs of this being the case will be a patch size above 100 megabytes, with little to no new music or video content. Code itself doesn't take up a whole lot of space, but 3d models and textures do.

It's understandable that they wouldn't get everything on the disc for the day they go gold (they have to be prepared to have 5 million units in stores on release day, so work backwards), but if the art department was halfway through something or was just starting something then, it should be ready about a week before day1 (when they need to start organizing the patch contents).

The unlock codes are there because the content gets patched in regardless of whether you buy the DLC or not, so you can see others online even if you haven't got it.

EDIT: I'll make it clear I'm not condoning day1 DLC, but this is a type of game that can a team can continue to work on indefinitely, so to a degree the release day is irrelevant to a fair chunk of workers there, because after the game ships they're still going to be continuing to work on it.

 

[KWZX10]

No thanks. Never liked Day One DLC and hope PD never does it. Not only that, I won't buy it either because I want to experience the game before even thinking about buying any DLC.

Great point. At day one there's no way i'm going to think about dlc stuff.
I'm going to enjoy what we already have on the disc for a while first. (Months )

 

[Pit Crew]

Nope. But maybe I'll spoil myself and purchase it on my birthday which is Xmas eve and i'm treated to a PSN card.

 

[FLIGHT50]

If I do purchase GT6, I will not buy dlc upfront. The problem I have with day one dlc is that it could have very easily been included on the disk. Its just a way to get extra money. I didn't purchase any dlc for gt5. Mainly because I abandoned the game early on. I would like for any dlc tracks that they release to be included in offline career mode events. I don't want to just race them, I want them as events as if they were part of the day one release. If they were geared this way in gt5 I apologize and retract my statement.

I would only purchase tracks that I loved from past GT games though. Otherwise I will just have to hold out til the port to PS4 and hope all the dlc is carried over for a day 1 release.

 

[Rob192005]

If it's cars or tracks probably but like others have said value is key here.

 

[Bluntified]

I won't and never will buy day one DLC. I'm a huge DLC supporter BUT when the game needs more life pushed into it - usually after the career mode/single player is complete. I've bought nearly all DLC's for every game I own but usually after a few months to a year into the games' life. To me, DLC shouldn't come out until at least 6 months after release, and that's being generous, more leaning toward a year.

I currently have around $50 in my PSN wallet (my wife's too good to me ) and still won't buy it!

 

[photonrider]

Obviously the game should be playable off the shelf without any DLC at all. If we need to go online to unlock the Game itself . . . then why sell a disc at all? Get your little card from the shop or the mail - put in your funky code - and away we go.

Or is the disc the 'unlock' card?

The point being . . . will we have a choice of whether to accept DLC's or not? If the disc cannot be played without an Internet connection, that is going to be a major statement about the Gran Turismo Series.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Sure only because it will be a bday gift, since the game release and my bday are on the same day. So I wouldn't really be buying it, since I'd be gifted with a gift card.

If I remember correctly, early in GT5's life, we couldn't play without a connection (we can now), that was around the time SONY was hacked and their servers were down for that month or two. I had to put GT down for that time.

@LMSCorvetteGT2

Mine just passed on Thursday, wife got me a $50 card .......still a no for the hypothetical day one DLC .

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

@Bluntified Yeah a hypothetical no for me as well, but obviously PD lucked out with us.

 

[Aphelion]

arent all dlcs free?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

arent all dlcs free?

There is a difference between the conventional DLC and an update/patch. The OP is asking about DLC that has to be purchased day 1 as many other companies have done for the past few years and now,, and surely what a certain other car game will do.

 

[Bluntified]

arent all dlcs free?

Welcome to the planet Earth, you must be new just kidding.

DLC's are mostly paid, PATCHES are free!

 

[JAHHAJ]

If there were to be DLC day one, I'd buy it, as I'm planning on buying all GT6 DLC.

 

[Aphelion]

No, as in, didnt the site say that all cars will be added directly to the dearlership

 

[MeanElf]

I'm assuming the OP's question is hypothetical, as the first DLC shouldn't be due out before January...and then monthly thereafter.

arent all dlcs free?

No - some will be but PD never said all would be.

 

[Bluntified]

If there were to be DLC day one, I'd buy it, as I'm planning on buying all GT6 DLC.

You can buy it a year later and it'll still count, just saying .

I wonder if they'll introduce a Season Pass type thing? If they really are going to have a huge amount of DLC, I wouldn't mind paying a lump sum for it all, $30-40?

 

[photonrider]

If I remember correctly, early in GT5's life, we couldn't play without a connection (we can now), that was around the time SONY was hacked and their servers were down for that month or two. I had to put GT down for that time.

Meanwhile all that time I was playing Offline uninterrupted, unconnected to the Internet. - years of offline until 2.14. That was when I went online. It really didn't spoil my game; I wanted to test out the offline game, anyway.
However - when I did go Online, it was like I had been given three new games attached to the old one. All the new stuff in one package just blew me away.

It was like I had got my GT4 back - with bells, whistles, and tinsel balls.

 

[Bluntified]

@photonrider,

I have a problem, I need to be connected, even if I'm not playing online - it's a sickness .

 

[Blood*Specter]

Only if the DLC is tracks. Cars I can do without as we have 1200 choices. Tracks make the game.
And I still want SSR11

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

No, as in, didnt the site say that all cars will be added directly to the dearlership

Couple issues with your understanding from what you just said. One DLC is and as we've seen has not been limited to cars, especially with features down the road (e.g. Senna), future cars (not all were said to be uploaded), tracks, suits and possibly other features there is a few different DLC. The other issue is that article once again never gave implicit info saying that all cars would be sent directly to the game.

 

[JAHHAJ]

You can buy it a year later and it'll still count, just saying .

That's true but I prefer to get it straight away.
