Specialty Dealer Updates
The Forza Motorsport 7 Specialty Dealer will undergo some changes next week. We will have three cars in the Specialty Dealer each but, starting next week, two of those cars will be completely new to the vendor. The majority of these exclusive cars have been given away in other events, but all of the new cars will be ones that have never appeared in Specialty Dealer before, so this will be a great chance to gain access to exclusive cars you might have missed the first time around.[./quote]
Well 2 entirely new cars and one old car is even better news. Looks I’ll be back to checking the Specialty Dealership every Tuesday again.Small correction @Joey D, only one car will be a repeat, the other 2 will be new to the specialty dealer.![]()
And some say T10 is a greedy developer. Awesome news!
In other words, it was necessary to put the greed aside for a second.
Exactly like they've done for the VIP pass... It's a thinly disguised form of damage control.
And it isn't enough, because one more **** up, and they're right back in the dog house again.
And yet, there's studios out there with far worse track records that are still idolized by their rabid fanbases on a "can do no wrong" basis...
Legacy of delinquency and incompetence
Have you read the GT Sport forum? There is a lot of negativity in there. The zealots try to snuff it out quickly, but the dissatisfaction is there. And the poor sales of GT Sport reflect that imho. Online only saves is madness. As this is a game aimed mainly at online racing, which you need a subscription to do, with so little content, no way should that have been a full price game. They make the money from the subscriptions. It would be interesting to know the percentage of online racers versus game sales. I for one never have, and never will race online.Granted, I expect nothing less - this is a GT fan forum first, after all - but still, how PD has essentially gotten a free pass for instituting an absolutely bonkers form of online only, with server based saves to boot, and pushing out free updates that they only made free because the vast majority of content you got in GT6, only uprezzed for 4K. How is that any different from T10 basically reaching a fever pitch by saying **** you to the fans, and stumbling into rakes consistently like Sideshow Bob? If anything, the same venom applied to T10 should be applied to PD IMO.
And while we could see it as a bit of damage control indeed, don't forget that T10 has given us free stuff in every game since FM2.
