I think they are being way way too picky, comments like you wont notice at first but if you look closely some shadows are messed up etc are silly...they all bitch and moan the same mantra..it's been in development for so many years so it should be perfect |
See i actually see it the other way. I have the game but have only played for a few hours. Am not very far in at all.
The way i see it is the game just feels incomplete. While you pass off the "Its been 6 years in development" criticism as picky i think it is pretty valid point. When i played A Spec i was blown away. The game was just huge and a big step up from the two previous games. This time around i don't think the game is too different from Prologue. There is a video going around with a side by side comparison of them on the same track and the difference is very minimal. And that was released first in 2007. Almost 3 years ago. While time should have no impact on a review it should however be noted. It should be noted that chances are GT5 is the longest and most expensive car racing game ever made. That means big expectations. It is the same with every creative industry. If you have a film having $100m spent on it you imagine it would have some big expensive effects, if a car cost $1m to buy you imagine it must be pretty powerful in comparison to other cars. If you spent $500k building a house and the builders took a couple of years to make you would be a bit pissed if they handed the keys over and the garage that you wanted wasen't there? etc. The same rule applies to games. GT5 with its time and cost as'well as the talented people working on it should produce the greatest racing game of all time. Personally i don't think they have done that. Reading a lot of peoples views it would seem others don't think that either. The game is far from perfect and has a lot of things which just don't seem right.
So i think those people are right to ask those questions.
