i actually agree with this prediction. now all major review site is going towards casuals, hard-core games have no chance at all. The hype and the gt brand should warrent 70% at least.

btw, there are problems in graphics especially the shadows. but my eyes aren't the picky ones. i'm also ok with stardard cars and glad they include that much, but pd should offer more camera options.

i'm still getting it tomorrow anyway.

do you really mean to say GT5 is hardcore... The reason the GT franchise sells so well is because it appeals to casual gamers/nongamers.... Although this news is quite alarming. Still probably going to get the game unless reviews end up being really bad.

yes, i meant that. imho, the gt franchise sold so well before was because  its lack of competition on consoles plus the constant praise/hype from hard-core gamers. Again this game is hard-core, I know a number of people never able to acquire all licenses. I still remember when i first play gt, i couldn't even control the car at all and spin out every corner. at that time, i was like WTF and started playing NFS on PC instead.  with a number of casual racing game available, a hash review on gt5 is quite expected to me.

EDIT: the racing genre has its own appeal to casuals btw as anyone can play racing games. but in GT, to achieve decent lap time, it's really hard and requires many practices to memorize the track and perfect driving skills. people should realize why gt gaves you a very slow car at the beginning of the career mode. and i know people are complaining it's too slow...
