Let's see. I hope it really does. One thing that could turn things completely would be if it becomes big in e-sports. That would be freaking awesome. I don't think outselling Forza is a big achievement. I'm not absolutely trying to downplay Forza, but GT entries did it on PS3 and right now Forza ends up crippled by poor X1 sales. Outselling GT6 is good, but it only managed to beat it and GT1 in first week sales. I also don't think it will end up like DC, it at least works. People may wish it had more content, but it's not like you can't play the entire game at all like DC.
It doesn't have more content than these games. GT2, per instance, had several endurances, rally, hundreds of cars, it was a freaking huge game. You would take a good 30 hours to finish every single thing (trust me, I got gold in all licenses, races, except by ONE single license trial. I was a kid, probably should pop it on my PS1 and do it). You are also overeaching a lot by using 2 PS1 games plus a launch title for PS2. Our expectations are much higher nowadays. Can't say nothing about Forza because I didn't played none of them enought. It looks like it has a great online mode, but it doesn't have anywhere the same amount of single player content than the games above. I don't think it's like GT5. Nobody said GT5 lacked content, because it was a huge game. The biggest gripe was using PS2 models at the time. Driveclub is heavily discounted. If it was a success Sony wouldn't have close the studio, I think it is clear that it underperformed. Big budget, big expectations, lots of marketing and a PR disaster. SF5 is a similar disaster. |
It DOES have more content than these games. These games already had dozens of cars of the same type, totally redundant. The Arcade and Custom race option in GTS enables you to perform endurance races on any track with any car/group of cars at any daytime. If you want to do a 200 lap night race with a Daihatsu Copen you can do that. And the new career system ensures that all of these races help you progress in your career, earn money, buy or win cars and upgrade them and the best thing is it now has the most amazing livery editor to customize all your cars now as you wish! People are just to lazy to organise themselves! And most definitely, above all, people don’t like change, even if it’s for the better.
