Lol Saviorx is just hating on it for some reason or the other.


Its the PS3 all over again. People are hating on it without giving it a chance and judging it on a demo that represents a very small fraction of the actual game

Yeah, um, A) I love the PS3.  Just because I don't like every exclusive for it doesn't mean I hate the PS3.

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". 

If you, like myself, read gaming headlines every day, follow developer blogs, listen to podcasts, and read/listen to interviews about gaming, you are in the minority.  We are a very vocal minority, I will give you that, but I would venture to guess that most gamers do not like to analyze each and every title for its entire develpment cycle before buying it.  They just say, "I am going to shit my pants when _____ comes out," and then they buy it.  If I were one of those people, I would not buy Gran Turismo 5 based on this lame demo. 

Sorry fanboys, but it's entirely possible that this game might just be kind of "blah" as far as sales and reviews.  Maybe I'll be proven wrong and it will be a revolution.  If that ends up being the case, I may just buy it. 

 

Another thread like this.

Just one question,

 

Do you even know what's the purpose of this demo?

 

 

You are so right, alot of these people are completely clueless and didn't bother reading the actual purpose of the demo nor do they realize how ignorant they made themselves look. Seriously, a demo that is less than 300MB!!!! C'mon,  even Comet Crash had more than that. The demo was to show the realism on the driving side, handle, etc. It was not done to show case the graphics and all the cute things that we have become accustomed to. Most of you should have also figured it out when you saw the trees and the crowd....well I guess not....
