B) Whoever said it was "ignorant" to think that the final release will not look better than the demo----It's ignorant, at least in marketing circles, to expect your core audience to just magically know that. I would venture to say a vast majority of gamers out there are not details kind of people. When you say something is a demo of a game on Playstation Network or Xbox Live, then users expect a demo. It doesn't say "GT5 Demo that is only focusing on the physics, not the graphics or the rest of the game". It just says "Gran Turismo 5 Demo".

Like I said, I didn't mean to offend you when saying that, but you can't expect much from a 200 MB demo in the way of graphics if you've seen gameplay videos of more advanced builds, let alone some screenshots.
And for your information, I'm not a fanboy (I own a 360 and Wii, and they get a lot of my play time), and I don't have a problem if you don't like the physics of the game, to each his own. But I'm just saying, if you were expecting more than this, then you're going to have to wait till a future demo. This was specifically aimed at hardcore racing fans.

And just to clarify once more--I have no problem with this being a demo targeted at a certain demographic and only focusing on physics, but if that's going to be the case, they need to SAY SO. If they don't, they're not even going to have peoples' interest enough when the REAL demo comes out later. I'm a hardcore gamer, but a casual racing sim gamer. Based on this demo, I wouldn't even be interested enough anymore to download another demo before release.

That's just the thing, they did say so. I'm not trying to hurt your right to an opinion, but you need to understand certain key factors, one of them being that this isn't a good representation of the game. Look at Gamescom and TGS footage and you will have a better understanding of today's defense.

Where did they say this on PSN where everyone is going to go get the demo? As far as I could see (and I'll admit, I didn't look too closely, so correct me if I'm wrong) it just said GT5 demo, not GT5 demo for the hard core enthusiasts. They're presenting this like it's the demo for the final release. If I were the developer, I would have never released this under that pretense.
Yes, to whoever said not to buy the game, that is always my option to not buy the game. And I'm not really trying to "bash" the game either. I actually penciled this game in on my "to buy" list for 2010 as I don't actually own any console exclusive racers. The Forza 3 that I played was someone else's copy, so I didn't get to try it for very long.
My point here was just to get some opinions and see if anyone disagrees. Apparently almost everyone disagrees, and that's cool. I would love if someone would give me a link to a good HD video of the "real" GT5 in action.
