GT6 has 450 premium cars. More cars than Forza 3 had. You're right on the PSP cars, some were new to the series on PSP which had 820 cars and some of those like the Bugatti Veyron were the basic designs of the GT5 and GT6 versions. But standard cars got an overhaul in GT6 and look better than GT5 standard cars.
Woah woah woah. Were you following our discussion at all? I never said the old GT games sounded good, they were terrible. GT Sport does sound better than Forza, which isn't terrible but the sound effects in Forza are blown to unrealistic proportions which sounds nice but isn't accurate. Your second point is a misunderstanding of what I said. I said that GT is declining in popularity but also other Sony games are growing in popularity which has allowed GT to be relegated to a mid tier series. Sony never had the huge successes outside of GT series before this gen, and when they did they were mostly one offs like LBP which centered around the premise of creation so it could never stay relevant for a lot of sequels. Uncharted, TLOU, Horizon and GOW are going to stay relevant and for a longer time. The increased popularity of RPG's has factored in the success of some of these games. Its also real that the racing game market is declining. Racing games are barely relevant in the USA and Japan, and mostly sell in Europe and PAL regions which isn't enough for them to be blockbusters. Industry leading Turn 10? Hahaha. Forza Motorsport 7 is basically the poorest simulator of real world physics in the sim racing genre, behind GT Sport and far behind PC2, Assetto Corsa and RFactor. It doesn't have good business practices either, with paid DLCs and lootboxes for such a long period when the game is at its most relevant. Its behind GT Sport, Assetto Corsa Competizione and PC2 in graphics and sound. Its behind GT Sport and probably Assetto Corsa in sales. Where is the industry leading part? Maybe in critical success, but its perception in the gaming media hardly makes for an industry leading game when its behind the competition in every other way that counts. |
First of all, GT6 had 350 premiums, not 450.
Forza 7 lootboxes were never purchaseable by real money, so they werent making a single cent of it. Actually, the game doesnt have any microtransactions what so ever. So it's not possible for the crates to be bad business practices. Now c'mon, almost every single game has paid dlc (even project cars 2).
And Forza 7 is probably way ahead of assetto corsa in sales. You are overestimating Assetto Corsa sales. GT Sport is saved by the fact that Playstation rules Europe, or else Forza would've pulled even (or even taken over) a while ago.
Forza isn't supposed to be a full simulation, it's supposed to be welcome to new players. Same with GT Sport. Both are simcade games.
And that last part is blatantly false. Forza 6/7 are regarded as some of the best racing games of this generation in the media (probably only behind the Horizon games). GT Sport doesn't make a scratch on them.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
