In an interview done by The Hollywood Reporter with the hurting game publisher, Atari, some interesting details regarding the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited were revealed.
[quote name='The Hollywood Reporter']Atari will also be experimenting with other downloadable content, beginning with additional "car packs" to supplement the 90 cars in "Test Drive Unlimited." Pack #1 will be released six weeks after the game's launch and subsequent packs will be available every month for nine months through June 2007. Eventually, gamers will be able to add 40 cars to their fleet.
"There will be a Corvette pack, a Ferrari pack, a German car pack, and so on," explains Fajors. "Some will be free, others will be priced as high as $7. The idea is to build a new revenue stream of microtransactions for Atari as well as to continuously refresh the original boxed product. And it is in keeping with our new strategy of focusing on the online space where we'll be making some fairly major investments."[/quote]
Richlough, the good news is the Corvettes are on the way... the bad news, they may cost up to $7.
Anyways, the rest of the article is a decent read, focusing mainly on Atari and the big changes they are making as a company. If you are interested in checking it out you can find it here.
