Although, Gran Turismo is Driving Sim. It's ideally trying to achieve "Real Life Simulation". It's bound by hardware far more than Mario or many other game types. Like I have said, Gran Turismo's may have been the same in many ways but there have been, (I would wager) thousands of minor tweaks, changes, etc for the sake of making them more realistic and striving for a step closer to realism. Additionally, you now have 3D Gran Turismo aspirations and what appears to be shaping up as the best graphics in the industry currently. Cosmetically, not too much has changed in Gran Turismo (You still drive around a track and try for first place). Although fully detailed, life like interiors provide a whole other perspective of driving, a full-fledged online mode (Allow for competition with people across the world),thousands of different cars, thousands of control tweaks (On the development side) which give the games a far more life-like handling scheme, damage modeling (for a more realistic presentation), dynamic weather conditions, etc.
I would certainly say that the Gran Turismo series is drastically different (In terms of how realistic it is) from the 1997 version. I don't think I would say that Mario of present day has differentiated itself enough from Mario 64. Little Big Planet is a good launching point for a totally different direction in terms of platforming than Mario and to me that is what bothers me with Nintendo. We haven't got a fresh idea (Like LBP) provided. And for the king of Platformers....I think that's pretty disappointing. |
That's it, I think we all should really ignore this guy... He's essentially saying LBP's physics gameplay is more drastic a change from "classic" platforming than Mario Galaxy's gravity-based gameplay change from Super Mario 64's.
Seriously, guys, let's just stop posting in this thread. He's clearly going to keep his opinion no matter how illogical his bases are.
