I as well, my first digital pre-order.
And with that, a question...
Will it unlock right at midnight EST, or a bit after?

You should be able to pre-download from tomorrow (on the PS4) and then it will sit on the dash ready to play at midnight. It even counts down for you.

Intersting. Ian just said he got a $150 million offer from a south korean company yesterday and a $200-250 million from a chinese company to buy SMS.

That's impressive. No wonder he's drinking glass of wine after glass of wine. :D

If that is true then SMS will soon be a Chinese company. Good for him though. I just hope the new owner is smart enough to keep the team together that made the franchise successful.

If somebody (not EA) gave him enough money and he still had overall control, I'd say he would sell.

Maybe, but given how much he has put into the company, and how much he has gone through with it, I don't think he will let it go cheap, and I do seriously doubt he would ever give up "ownership" of it.

Exactly. That's why I said if they give him enough money. The company is valued in the $250m mark by an American company. He's receiving that for presumably a portion of that company.
 
He did say he would sell for 200m. I replied in the comments not to sell to Microsoft or ea because they would kill the game. And that's when he went off on ea. So he would sell, I just hope he doesn't. He seems to have a good grasp on future endeavours and I would hate for those future plans to be killed off.
 
I wonder if Ian would stay under the Bandai Namco fold considering they are really ramping up advertisements, and are looking to place PCARS as Bamco's premier racing series in the wake of the supposed death of Ridge Racer? It seems as though that's how Bamco is keeping it.

He went into pretty great detail about EA before you asked. Even said how Rod Chong went to EA then came back.

For what reason would someone turn down a quarter of a billion dollars?

Not every studio would like to be chained to a company. I don't see MS nor Sony buying them though. Both have their racers already. Racing sims don't fit Nintendo I don't think either.

I'd love to see what they do with a huge budget and a lot of dev time but their chances are limited outside of EA.
 
I hope this online license actually works well because currently im kinda not apart of a racing group. Not a league...but a racing group. The guys I usually race with are saying that they might wait on a price drop and got things going on in life (which I can understand). I don't mind not being apart of a racing group if the online license works like how it's suppose to. Why am I skeptical about this? I look at the Gran Turismo Sport beta. This seems like it's sorta similar to that and guess what....I still got paired up with garbage racers even though my skill rating and sportsmanship ratings were both high on GT Sport. I'm not doubting this license system that SMS got (I can see some differences) but for the most part it seems similar to GT Sport.

A quarter of a billion dollars means that chain is made of solid gold and encrusted with diamonds. I could find a way to suffer through that for that kind of coin.

Which is why I don't see any realistic option. Maybe one day Turn 10 or PG might leave Microsoft.

@Johnnypenso Money or creative freedom is a hard choice.
Click to expand...

That won't happen considering that Microsoft built T10 specifically as a competitor to Polyphony in every sense of the word. If it wasn't for MS's resources, they wouldn't be anywhere close to where they are today.

PG is another story, but at the end of the day, both of them stay under the umbrella of Microsoft as long as GT and Polyphony still exist.
