Looks to me like the racing sim games like Forza and GT may be on the decline. I was talking to a friend about a week ago and we both kinda came to the conclusion that these games won't be able to get away with just looking good and providing a ton of cars and tracks anymore. They're going to need to start offering more. They need to become more than what they've been. Both franchises seem like they're becoming stale and lacking a soul. |
To be fair Forza 5 was being criticized for not being finished (Or a lack of content). If it would have been pushed back a couple months to get all the content finished it would have scored higher.
I haven't read or watched any GT reviews yet so Idk why it is getting these scores.

That may be a major reasoning but there were other reasons. Either way, both franchises have watched their critical reception decline. The Forza franchise peaked in sales with the third game so far and I believe the same happened to GT. Even with more content I doubt Forza 5 would have received something close to a 9 average. I think it still would have been the lowest rated in the series. Sony needs to push Polyphony Digital to branch into other games. There really shouldn't be room for a one-trick-pony studio these days. I'm honestly hoping GT6 doesn't sell well so the argument can't be made of, "well people are still buying so...".
