Ritsu Tainaka 2011-11-14 02:07	Did someone rumored that EA's Exclusive rights for Porsches will expire in December?
Scooter8299 2011-11-10 05:23	Trillium wrote I've heard it's supposed to end next month, and according to other people, since no one has said they've renewed it (because deals like this tend to be bragged about in advance), the deal is probably finished and Porsche can go elsewhere. MY GOD. I hope this is true. Then what are EA going to brag about?

J-2 2011-11-09 00:00	Trillium wrote But man, why does Porsche itself agree to this cheapening of their image? I can see just two options here: 1-They were so imppresed about Porsche Unleashed, that they signed the hell out of a contract, which gives EA total control over the use of their cars in games, and/or maybe in the contract says the deal cannot be broken, unless Porsche wants to pay a enormous amount of money or something like that. 2-They don´t care. At all. On any level. I mean, 12 years have passed since Porsche Unleashed, and EA still have the damn license. Only one game (well, 3, actually) managed to get them too, and now, even Microsoft cannot do anything about it...maybe they are just waiting for the deal to expire (i hope Porsche didn´t sign a lifetime contract...they cannot be that stupid) because...well, it´s Microsoft. They have enough money to buy EA, but obviosly, they´re not going to do so just for a license. But still, they tried to get Porsche back all over 18 months. They even talked straight to Porsche, and nothing happened... That´s what i´m waiting for. The deal have to end some day... -- Last edit: 2011-11-09 00:02:10
Mark0 2011-11-08 14:42	You are right J-2 but why Porsche signed deal with EA when they could get more money getting their car in Forza, GT, TDU... And i think that best simulation are made by SimBin. I played Forza 4 & GT5 but GTR & RACE series are better. Only problem with SimBin is that they aren't owned by some big company and they don't have money.
J-2 2011-11-08 06:39	And they blocked Forza from having Porsches, just for trying to get sales. They´re so desperate, they converted NFS into a mix of Heavy Rain and GTA, and they all know to do is trying to get attention, doing things like that. To sum up how they´re thinking right now: "Hey look! We have Porsches! We´re now the only game that have them! Also, we´re introducing the new 991 Carrera in here! And you can even win a real one!! And one of the main characters is played by Christina Hendricks!! That gorgeous redhair from Mad Men!! And one of the trailers was directed by Michael Bay!! Awesome, isn´t it??!! Go and buy our game!!" Yes, it´s sad when you ran out of ideas, and you have to keep up with stupid things like this, in order to attract attention. They don´t care about quality anymore, they just think about money. I can only hope, for the sake of games, and Porsches in them, that The Run is a fail in sales. They deserve it. (I´m sorry for the developers, though) When i remember the good old days, when EA wasn´t a corporate monster, and did good NFS games...ironically, one of the best was Porsche Unleashed/2000, when all this began, but hey! That was an actual homage to Porsche, not like modern day NFS. Also, Forza 3 had 35 Porsches. This, just 4. But it´s not because they have a limited range of cars, they feature 7 Nissan, 7 Ford, or 5 Lamborghini... Why do they want the damn license then? Showing off. That´s why. -- Last edit: 2011-11-08 06:47:47
Scooter8299 2011-11-08 04:28	J-2 wrote GT never had any Porsche car, so obviously this was never going to be anyway. Where it should have been, as i said before, was Forza 4. It was already made, but EA decided to play dirty, so, no any serious car game will have this... And again, i hope they finally lose the license, and both games can use Porsche, i miss driving them a lot...(EA can go back to sleep if they think i´m buying this just for driving Porsches...i prefer to go back to FM3 and drive them again) Exactly. EA must realize that people aren't happy with them hogging the Porsche license. I think EA just keep it to themselves so if you want to drive Porsche's (on PS3, like me) EA is your only choice. Which sucks. I guess the only people who don't have a problem with this are EA (duh ) and RUF. -- Last edit: 2011-11-08 04:29:15

Scooter8299 2011-11-07 04:13	Trillium wrote How does Tanner have a 2010 Alfa Giuletta in San Francisco? How does Vito own the world's only Lincoln Futura before it even existed? I try not to let things like this bother me unless the game is trying to be "SUPER REALISTIC". Still, maybe there's a mission where Jack steals it from a car show or something. Yes, sorry, I just got a bit annoyed about this car NOT BEING ON GT5.
Scooter8299 2011-11-05 06:57	WARNING:POINTLESS RANT BELOW I'm sorry for double post, but just HOW is Jack supposed to get one of those and then drive it on the road, coz its not road legal (is it?) POINTLESS RANT NOW FINISHED
Scooter8299 2011-11-01 04:08	EA do annoy me, refusing PD ,and now T10 the right to use Porsches. They prefer to hog Porsche and use them in street racing games, or "Shift: The Real Lagggg Sim." EA EVERYONE HATES YOU FOR THIS! (Nice car) -- Last edit: 2011-11-01 04:09:26
TakuFD3S 2011-10-24 03:14	EA games f**s up everything. They are so mean that they don't allow prestigious sports car like porsche to appear in superb simulator. -- Last edit:* 2011-10-24 03:44:36
J-2 2011-10-23 18:19	This very car was going to be featured in FM4's autovista mode... So, Porsche prefers to be in a unrealistic arcade saga running out of ideas, rather than a serious car simulator, where cars get a decent treatment. (Autovista cars even more) If only Forza and GT could use them...
Ritsu Tainaka 2011-10-23 18:01	Why isn't this in forza too.... "cries"
