Has something been updated where you don't need to update the game to run it now?
Wasnt this originally part of the Xbox One plan before the internet raged?
How does that work though? The content still needs to be ready for launch so I don't understand the logic behind this.
All of this was posted before the 180. And there is nothing to indicate that it is false. Tell you what you post your sources for what you're saying and I'll post mine then we'll have a good laugh about it afterwards.
I don't get something. Why they didn't put "main" game on the disk so you can still play offline and offer additional cars and tracks in the patch? This way even people without internet at home can still play it.
Why do I feel that if the same news was released about a Sony launch game the reaction would be to congratulate Sony for having consumers in mind and not delaying the game or making the download at cost DLC.
They said the game is playable without the patch and that it is only needed much later in the game, so you still have several hours of playtime before you even need the races and cars in the patch. They also said it will download in the background so that by the time you reach the need for the patch, it'll already be downloaded. The way they implemented imo is ok since unless you get to that point without any internet connection, then you won't even notice.
This same complaint would be about any company selling a useless shell of a disc.
Gran Turismo games HAVE released before they were finished. But guess what? They were something that Forza 5 isn't.
Playable.
Where in sam hill did you pull that factoid out of?
"In the beginning of the game, the player will be racing against Drivatars that are contained on the disc and were trained by the [Turn 10 development] team," Greenawalt said. "While playing, the player will be asked to connect to Live in order to download a completely fresh set of player-created Drivatar opponents its not a lot of data, but the download contains enough Drivatars to cover all difficulty settings. Connecting will also download new content but the vast majority of the launch content is contained on the disc.
"This download is simply additional cars and tracks. The gameplay is not blocked while downloading the additional content; its done in the background just like disc install."
"The player won't be blocked from playing the game" if they've never connected it to Xbox Live, Greenawalt said. "But deeper areas in the career mode were designed to utilize these additional cars and tracks."

Jesus. Microsoft is terrible at communicating their messages...
This whole discussions wouldn't have happened if they just said that in the original article.

...how delayed and broken it is...
In this case, MS aren't really to blame..
Their original statement was very straight forward, The game wasn't ready, it'd have extra content delivered day 1 via a patch..
What MS don't realise is that a bunch of not very logical people take everything they say and spin it to FUD levels instantly and run to the interwebz to tell the world.. MS then have to spell things out in explicit minute detail..
At least, that's how I see it..

This is just shitty reporting on IGN's part.
Turns out you can play off the disc right out of the box.
