Your post count... and mine too, lol.

Every post count, even more when it's filled with love for GT.

I think GT lost it's audience to Forza. The forza series has regular upgrades and keeps a satisfying level of quality while alternating with the more arcade sub-series. This built the brand, even though i think they overdid it.

But polyphony is the exact opposite. They are histically slow at developing GT entries and that has been diluting the brand. GT6 is an amazing game, but it was too late. GT sport is not the sequal fans want and also got delayed.

Sony built a big brand with GT but it's letting it slip. They have to bet big on it and instead of laying off evolution studios, they should have made them work on an Horizon version of GT rather than calling it driv club and positioning it as a competitor of GT.

Quite honestly, as much as i like Yoshida, he is not doing a very good job in this regard. Sony needs to get serious about GT or they will be wasting alot of potencial revenue. If it isn't too late already. Myriad of poor decisions i must say.

You wish, but wish very hard.

GT is a game people starve for. While Forza is more on the 1-2M sales without heavy bundling.

And about satisfying level of quality, there haven't been any drop in quality on GT. The complains we have are the moronic "diss the standard car" "I can't stand having 800 PS2 models in my game even if I don't have to choose it".

A very good reason to diss Evo studios instead of calling DC a Gran Turismo Horizonesque is that it would impact the franchise on the bad reception that game got.

the Go-karting race part of GT6 alone is better than a lot of racing games I have played. And almost platined Project Cars and it's a very weak game compared to GT.

What are you talking about? I didnt say that GT dropped in quality level.

You totally missed the point. The lack of games is diluting the brand. That was my point, that is what i was talking about. And The series took a huge hit in sales (more than 50%!), if it takes the same for the next entry guess what? It sells about as much as forza, if not less.

The forza's sold about 4-5m on the 360 wich is where the comparable GT6 was. So, they arent that different in size atm and THAT is the problem. GT should be bigger than that. Stop pretending there isn't a problem. There obviously is.
