Also id say its due to maybe a reluctance to upgrade in the current gen? Like Forza 4 compared to Forza 3. Sure 4 had many improvements over 3, but many viewed the game as not necessary to upgrade. And maybe the meta? Im sure most thought that GT5 meta was a mulligan for the series. Now with GT6 it appears that PD is settling in a trend. Meta scores are known to affect the legs of a game, whether we like it or not. |
Good points, I've seen one GT6 advert on TV just before release, I've seen no end of Xbox One adverts, a few PS4 ads also. If this was released say next February it would have got top store billing but it's hidden behind the massive Xbone and PS4 banners instead. You 2nd point is a really good one, I was shocked when it was announced, I thought to myself "Didn't they just release a cheaper version of GT5 with all DLC included?" This generation may have been better with only 1 GT game instead of 2. Online gaming can prolong the ownership as well as it adds more replay value and as long as they don't turn off the servers, why upgrade?
General public (the mass of europeans who by GT games) don't pay attention to Metacritic, they enjoy a franchise, they buy a franchise.
Hmm, pie.
