Forza 5 will not be included on the disc once you buy it

Quote :

As Microsoft has changed their tune regarding the Xbox One’s online requirements, Forza 5 will also not require an internet connection to run. Well, not much, anyway. If you want to play the game, Turn 10 boss Dan Greenwalt said to IGN, you’ll have to connect once and download a bunch of stuff before you can play it. The entire game, it turns out, will not be on the disc.

“So when you first boot up the game, we’re going to ask you to log in,” Greenwalt said, “and when you log in you’re going to get the Drivatars and you’re also going to get a whole bunch of content: tracks and cars. Our production schedule is such that we are putting them in as late as possible and that means making them free as downloadable content on Day One.

“That is required content to play the game. We basically have designed the game to work with all that content no matter how late is coming in, in order to make the biggest game possible.”

Although you won’t need to connect after that download, Greenwalt says the game will be better if you keep downloading the Drivatars, which will be continuously updated with user data.

Also, he said this strange thing: “We’re not making a launch game. We’re making Forza 5, at launch.” Cool

That's not too bad. It's no worse than the PS3 installs.

Sounds extremely dumb as hell.

So there is really no point to buy a physical copy if you're going to have to download the entire game. Yeah with PS3 you might have to install with some games but you never have to download anything other than asking you to downloading a patch update which you can choose not to download.

"make the biggest game possible"
They will just release a bunch of DLC such as cars and tracks then drop it later so they can go work on the next title.

It's not the entire game. It's just certain features, tracks and stuff.

Did you even read the article? It clearly says the entire game.

But you NEED to download that stuff to play the game.

So what would be the time estimate before you can actually PLAY?

Because an internet connection is required to install PS3 games...

Because people who can afford a £400 console can't afford to turn on the wifi for 10 minutes in a day...
