| BenVTrigger said: not at all. IGN has been saying its over rated for a while now. Gameinformer magazine the number one syndicated gaming magazine in the world listed it all the way back at number 35 in the list of the 50 most impressive games of E3. Kotaku is FAR from the first. I'm not sure how long its going to take for some people to realize that GT5 isn't going to be MASSIVE. It will be HUGE for sure, selling anywhere from 5-8 million, but IMO without heavy bundeling 10 million is out of the question. EDIT: and I'm not trying to bash GT5 I think it will be the most impressive Racing Sim ever released so far I'm just saying that the entire Sony fanbase on this site has been gowing around talking this game up and crying foul at anyone who disagrees. I highly doubt Kotaku is trying to be biased here. Highly highly doubt it. |
Well, I don't think that it is very surprising that it's hype level isn't so huge at some sites.
GT5 has been at E3 for several years now, so that some people/sites aren't impressed by it anymore is somehow obvious IMO. But what I think is even more a reason why it's hype is lower than expected is that games like GT5 can't show their potential in demos or trailers. So I think in the end many will change their opinion about it, but that's just an assumption.
OT: Kotaku's Game of the Show at E3 2010 was Dance Central..., so should anyone really be worried about what they think about GT5? (I'm not trying to bash Dance Central with that comment btw.)
