There are some differences, for instance gamefreak owns, iirc 50% of the pokemon company , where as Polophony is fully owned by Sony, but for reasons I'm not to sure of it was a long time ago, they decided to create Polophony as a subsidury rather than a studio, most likely to help insure Kaz's continued involvement since GT was his baby , and you have to remember it was the PS1 era, so Sony's need to build up successful Ist party IP's to augment it's 3rd party efforts on a new console meant they had a premium and when you have one with sales right up there with the biggest names in gaming, why it became a subsidury becomes clearer. sorry about that must have clicked multi quote . do you know how i stop it. |
If you multiquote a quote and want to unquote it you just have to click on the "same button" which would now read as "post in que"

Still looking for what does Pokemon have to do with GT (besides the very outside idea that PD and GF aren't studios inside the mother company, but still differ as fully and partially owned)

Yes, you are never biased. And seeing like 60% agreed with him there isn't much you can fault him on the prediction.

Incredible story. so does gamefreak keep half the revenue from pokemon sales and Nintendo the other half?
kowenicki said:
Really? What an odd conclusion. I could easily fault all of them, common sense was severley lacking. |
Yes, you certainly could, but then you would be faulting all of them not only ethomaz. But that is talking about other threads and people that aren't here so I won't go further.

The Last of Us and God of War 3 do have very impressive detail for PS3 games. Characters in Uncharted 2 have 80k polygons and The Last of Us probably has more. The environments are also very detailed. God of War 3 has an incredible scale especially the titans. It also has dynamic lighting when using the head of helios. Forza 5 has very detailed cars and roads but the environments aren't very detailed with crowds being sprites and the game only has one weather condition and very less use of particle effects. We were talking about Forza 5 here not what the XB1 and Turn 10 are capable of doing. Forza 6 doesn't have the same problems and looks amazing even on XB1. The best comparison can be made between Forza 6 and GT Sport in terms of graphics when that releases. |
Yeah, TLoU, GoW3 and other titles like Halo 4, Forza Horizon, Gears of War 3/Judgement, look fantastic for 7th gen and still look solid today.
That doesn't change the fact Forza 5 surpasses the capabilities of 7th gen hardware. The assets in Forza 5 are simply more detailed than 7th gen hardware can handle. Its better looking game than you're giving it credit for. Same goes for a game like Ryse, not the most technically impressive game but the visual assets were far ahead of what 7th gen consoles could do.

To be fair none in their right mind could have predicted the PS4 effect. Not sony Ninty Msoft or anyone in gaming saw that beast coming.
I dount any one was imputing that beast into their guesstimates.
