| DonFerrari said: Yet GT5 and GT6 got bad and unfair scores. So your point is? There is no reason to give GTS lower than 8. Look at the type of games that get those 8 and lower and say on straight face they have the same level of care, polish and quality. |
I don't think they got undeserved scores. Gran Turismo was the pinnacle of the racing game, a visual spectacle with tons of amazing content. GT5 and 6 damaged the visual spectacle with those PS2 models. GT5 suffered from slow menus and GT6 lacked a lot of content that 5 had (like endurances). They are good racing games, but they are only average GT games.
As a Gran Turismo fan, my expectations are much higher for the franchise. None of the newer ones is as breakthrough as Gran Turismo 2 was when I played it for the first time. Or any of the PS2 entries. It now lacks the charm that made it more than a simple racing simulator, but an actual driving simulator.
GT Sport is more like a Prologue. If they priced it at 40 bucks, people would understand that and judge it as such. For 60 bucks, this is supposed to be the real deal and it's being judged as such.
Don't get me wrong, I'll probably grab it eventually, even with my big dislike of online-only titles. It still is a pretty good racing game, just not the real Gran Turismo I am waiting for since the PS2.
