Tell me this... all of you guys hating the GT5 Prologue cause it a extended demo or early game preview that cost $40, however, let say if Gears of War 2 extended demo or preview came out that cost $30 to $40.. would you buy it? Also if the demo included with a game that you weren't willing to buy that cost $60 but it come with that demo... would you buy that game just for the Gears of War 2 demo?

No, many people won't. However, if it came with 8 multiplayer maps and 5 modes, then maybe.

No. It would probably have very little content so a prologue of it would be pointless, plus i'm assuming this one has a story and i wouldn't want to have to wait for the final version to continue it.

Mario Kart Prologue at $30 would have been a better example.

I think Gran Theft Auto is a better comparison.

If GTA was released with 1/3 of the city, and online play Over a year before the final release i'm sure it would move at least one million

It was an opinion question...... would YOU buy it? I know you wouldn't though. ;)

No I wouldn't buy it, because Gears is a different game from GT5. Gears of War is what, 8 hours tops? The second will likely be the same length, therefore making the demo short. GT5 on the other hand has tons of cars, tracks, etc to have fun and fool around with, making the "preview" much longer. Still not worth the $40 though.

This topic is flawed, all Lemming's will say no because they want to hate on PS3 and GT5:P but if it did come out they'd be all over it.

No that doesn't work at all. GEOW is a linear single player experience that would mean an extended demo would have to be a large chunk of the game. A racing game works because you can just do races whenever you want and there are options to tweak and a wide selection of cars and tracks. The prologue should really only work for racing or sports games that are pick up and play.

Most lems would get it if it had as much contents as GT5P, but they will just pretend that they wouldn't or they would be admiting that GT5P is worth it.

yes, the games i would buy a 40$ extended preview for would be

Geow 2

killzone 2

Final Fantasy 13

Metal Gear solid 4

Resident evil 5

Silent Hill 5

and i pretty much did with halo3 because i bought crackdown just for the beta, and only played crackdown for like 10 minutes.

and thats pretty much it, nothing else seems to interest me enough, or im not a big enough fan of the series to want to pay that much for a very early preview of a game

Umm no because that is basically a beta. why would I buy a Beta. It is just like GT5:P. I am not shelling out money for a game that purposely leaving out content for the real version of a game.

Well at least you had a full complete game. DOn't know why you bought it just to play Halo 3. After palying the demo of crackdown I saw how fun it was and had no problem buying the game for crackdown.

For the record:

Gran Turismo : 11 Million+ sold
Gran Turismo 2: 10 Million+ sold
Gran Turismo 3: 15 Million+ sold
GTConcept 2001: 1.6 Million+ sold (Japan)
GT4 PROLOGUE: 1.5 Million+ Sold (Europe)
Gran Turismo 4: 9 Million+ Sold

The series was over 48 million sold before GT5: P ever came out. And GT5:P is already over 1 million.

Lems cry because Gran Turismo is a BEAST. And the onl fair comparison (with fanbase)really is Gran Theft Auto. Which people WOULD buy a preview for, don't kid yourself

Gears SP was extremely short, they'd have to seriously ramp up the content on 2 to even be able to release a full game "prologue" version, as it is, gears 1 SP is far too short by itself to be called a full game.

Because it was Halo 3.

Seriously, don't you get it. Sequel to one of the greatest console multiplayer games ever? I'll do it again with games like Banjo Kazooie if I have to.

GT5P is worth every Penny. If there was a GEOW2 demo, it would nothing compared to the replay value of that of GT5P. Why? Replaying 2-3 missions constantly Vs 70 cars with 50 races? HUGE difference.

Gears of War 2 as a demo would be rediculously short. They'd have to include 2/3 of the game in the demo. :| You know seeing as the full game is probably going to take about 5 hours to beat the singleplayer.

This gen is pretty much the opposite of that.

Even in small games like The Godfather, paid DLC, like more guns, etc, is free on the ps3 version *and* the wii version.

I swear to you in all honesty - I would never ever want that precedence set on my gaming console.

Just between you, me & the fence post, I might be willing to buy say a magazine for 5.00 if it had a demo of Gears 2 on it but that was then and this is now where MS offers the demo for free and I don't want that to change.

But you will pay 60 dollars with the expectation to pay more later to "complete" your game.

How is GT5P different from GTAIV with DLC? Sounds the same to me. Pay now to pay more later. Lemmings LOVE to pay now and then pay more later. XBOX Live. 360 + wireless adapter.

Because GTA 4 has more than a hundred hours of gameplay. GT5 Prologue has 1 hour of gameplay at best.

Lemmings pay $50 a year for Live lol. You don't think a GEOW2 Prologue wouldn't sell? Lemmings are just lieing if they say they wouldn't! Lemmings FAIL at keeping it real in this thread seriously. If a GEOW Prologue included 6 online maps like GT5 Prologue THEY WOULD BUY GEARS2 Prologue. Lemmings are just liars lol.
