Of the ones I played, i'd say GT is probably the most overrated. It's a great series of games, but really not worth waiting years for when the competition is just about as good.

 

oh and the most overrated thing is HD graphics (firstly cause they really aren't HD in 90% of games).


1. I'm fairly sure the vast majority of GT fans out there have bought and played other racing games since GT4 (and besides GT5P). 

2. Actually, I think the opposite is true: sub HD graphics is overrated in today's world and on today's tv's. 

 

OT: For me it must be Pac-Man. Man, I have tried through the years but never managed to finish more that one level. Don't like it.

1. the push in PS3 hardware upon release of GT5 should tell us something regarding that statement. If people waited till now to buy their PS3, they likely didn't play much racing in the mean time either. (yes this is an assumption)

2. Either I misunderstood you, or you said what I meant but you said it more clearly (in my parenthesis).

1. Well, even if it pushes a lot of hardware, that doesn't mean they have not played stuff on other hardware. If you'd mean that they are waiting for GT5 to buy a PS3 even though there are other great games on the platform, I agree. 

2. No, I mean lower resolution games, known as sub HD, being presented as enough is overrating them. Higher resolution games, known as HD (even if they are not) are the better way to present your game on today's displays. That enough 'sub HD' games sold better than many 'HD games' probably has nothing to do with the resolution.
