Gran Turismo 6 Bows Down to Microtransactions
Hey, even Sony has to make a buck of two
Gran Turismo 6 is due for PS3 (yes, remember that chap?) on December 6th. It's the next step in the classic series of serious driving simulations that, in our opinion, took a bit of a tumble with GT5 so hopefully there will be changes made. We know for a fact that microtransactions are to be introduced.
The announcement was made by the gloriously named Penrose Tackie – European Brand Manager for GT6. He began by stating that: "With the Special Edition, you’ll get the full GT6 Game, 20 extra cars (Torque, Performance, Adrenaline and Velocity packs), custom PSN avatars, paint chips, race suits and race helmets – basically everything you need to fly past your friends on the way to the finish line. And, pre-ordering either of the editions on the store before launch will get you the great cars included in the Precision Pack for free." And then this:
"In addition, from launch at retail you’ll find a new option for building your ultimate fantasy car collection in-game credits will be purchasable through PS Store or your friendly local retailer at the following denominations: 500K, 1 million, 2.5 million or 7 million credits which you’ll be able to apply in-game for cars and parts. To know how much your credits will get you, take a look at the menu of choices. For 1 million credits you could get all the cars below."
Awesome...
