The title is pretty much explicit I think, Sony may let the websites/magazines release their review before the launch so let's start a prediction metascore thread right now. Rules are:

Three predictions: two are mendatory because I'll make a table that I'll update daily - at least I'll try - the last one is for teh fun.

- 1st one : is a 5 point range prediction

It represents the highest and lowest score you think it'll do compressed in a 5 point range. For example 92-96 or 85-89 (yes these are five, 85 86 87 88 89)) please exclude the perfect 100 because everyone knows it's impossible, just because Edge will have their review is enough =P Joking.

- 2nd one : is a precise prediction

Within your own range prediction, for example if you choosed the 90-94 range then you had a more precise idea or simply what you hope it'll do, let us know. (If you're wrong you can still have the right range you see) and of course exclude the perfect score plz.

- 3rd one : is the percentage of perfect scores within the average

Yea the percentage because giving a number is pointless, there'll be more reviews for GT5 than there were for GT3 or GT4 (55 for GT3 and 74 for GT4, probably over 100 for GT5). With a 10 point range.

Some informations about the past GT games:

Gran Turismo 3 : Metascore : 95 | Perfect scores : 40% (22) | 90 and more : 87% (48) | Total reviews : 55.

Gran Turismo 4 : Metascore : 89 | Perfect scores : 7% (5) | 90 and more : 70% (52) | Total rewiews : 74.

So let's begin with mine:

1) 93-97

2) 96

3) 30 / 40%.

Your turn.

Ps. I can even make a ranking afterwards, for example 1 point for the range, 2 for the precise prediction - because it's harder - and an extra point if you gave the right percentage, or instead of ranking everyone just listing people who had everything right . I know it's useless but I'll consider the idea...

93-97

97

60/70%

Yes, these are more than 60/70% life like... *.*

This is more suited in the Gaming Discussion or Sony Discussion but I'll still give my predictions :

91 - 96
93
25 / 35 %

Huh yea my bad, I didn't even notice that I put it in Sales discussion. :/ Is it possible for a mod to transfer the thread please?

90-95

94

30 / 30%

95-100

98

dont know this 

the ammount of gameplay GT5 offers should automatically make it a 10/10

Okay, Forza 3 has a 93 on Metacritic. But Microsoft games get rated better by default, don't know why. Same games get better scores; It's like 360 fans don't expect as much as PS3 fans. But I know it will be rated higher than 93 due to massive amounts of content. But there are issues that will hurt the game on reviews. The biggest issue is the standard cars, which have a clear majority. This is a bit saddening as not all car are created equal. Also, they will b**ch about the no bonnet view (inside). Standard cars cannot have new rims, and speculation that you cannot even...Repaint them. This would be disasterous as a reviewer. Initially I thought GT5 would get a 97, but now I think they are about a 94. GT6 will be what everyone wanted GT5 to be. It will come out in 2013, before the PS3 cycle ends and have about 80% premium cars and will have about 1,200-1,400 cars (200-400 standard, cheap cars they add just for kicks). Also will improve on ammount of tracks, it's not for sure, but it's said that GT5 doesn't have much more than GT4 did, which is a shame. But like I said, GT6 is going to be what we really want and that will get a 97-98 Meta Critic score. These scores will be heavily carried by a actual track maker that you control a lot more. They already said this is what they want you to do, they just didn't have time to fully realize this by the time GT5 releases. ANYWAYS, NOW TO MY PREDS!

#1: 93-97

#2: 94

#3: 30/40%

I predict it to be a 94, which is "low", but I wouldn't be surprised either if it gets better reviews than I think. I am a little skeptic about the moves PD made with this game. Nascar shouldn't be in the game and they should have soncentrated on other aspects and stop stealing time. With all the issues Forza 3 has, it got a 93 and I know GT5 will not do any worse than it. Forza 3 is pretty fun, but gets stale quickly. But for GT5, if the critics don't care as much as losing some things with standard cars, I can see it gettings a META of 95-96..

92 - 96

94

60 /80%
