gran turismo will sell better but nfs is a better series.

Yep, you've just shown us!

Last good NFS was 3rd (y 98), up from that it was shit shit shit (Shift wasn't bad, but that's one out of like 6 or 7 games). The newly announced NFS is a "successor" to the 3rd one, so maybe, just maybe the NFS series can get out of it's shittyness after all those years.

NFS has never been shitty dude lol maybe those particular games were just not for you. Gran turismo has been shitty since the its first entry in my opinion and never trully went anywhere. maybe GT5 can do something new though i doubt it.

I guess everyone is allowed an opinion.

Your's is wrong though for the million's of people who actually wanted a good racing game.


theres always been good racing games NFS,Forza, project gotham etc sorry but to me and alot of others Gran Turismo was never the pinnacle of racers.

Though i guess everyone is alowed an opinion. lmao!

Forza is basically MS's Gran Turismo, yet you set it to be the real deal. Kiddin right? Gran Turismo has the highest possible critical acclaim during the whole series, most units sold and in the racing world, it's the only racing "game" that matters.

On VGChartz there is no freedom of speach, either accept our truth, or get out. lmao!

theres no freedom of speech? Lmao that was funny. Also need for speed  highest selling racer is the best selling racer of all time not gran turismo. how is it the only racing game that matters?

Racing world = real racing world. People from automobile industry works closely with PD, for example they've helped develop UI for Nissan and japanese manufacturers are using GT for simulation, they let them build kits and design parts of the car. Top Gear acknowledged them and works with them. PD are known, noone else is.

Gran Turismo is still a game, not a training simulator, but in what it does and what does it stands for, it has no equal. NFS is an arcade racing game, like Mario Kart, completly different category. Need for Speed beeing the better selling franchise, well yes, when you release 20 games on all platforms including a super lame mobile games from 10 years ago yeah. But sales per title it's GT all the way, 6 games including demo and PSP title made over 55 mio, where NFS with 20 titles made 100 on all possible platforms. You do the math.

lol u did the math for me. but okay nfs still is the best selling lol.

GT5 will sell more first week then NFS will lifetime.

 

I will probably buy both though. NFS games have been really shitty the last several years but its nice to see them bringing back the Hot Pursuit series. I really liked them on the PS2 so I'll prob buy both. GT5 for sure I'll buy and if I have enough cash then I'll buy NFS.

I'm disagree...

GT5 will sell more first week and it'll outsell all the NFS versions combined lifetime.

According to Vgchartz, the top 5 Need For Speed games have a combined total of 22.19 million, and that is only the top 5.  I don't think GT5 will get half of that.


HE meant all the platform versions and not the previous games versions like NFS hot pursuit sales on PS3,360,PC,etc

NFS is like Mario kart as racing-lite. Most arcade racing games all you need to worry about is turn hard right or turn hard left, hit or let off gas.(something speed boost) Seldom do you worry about brakes and even then mostly use handbrakes to drift around sharp curves. In sims braking becoming a lot more important as well as the degree which you turn. The more you turn in a sim the more speed you can lose coming out of the corner.

 Almost all arcade racers   and some sims including GT series in the past has "rubber-band AI".(some are worst than others)   This means the race is artifical close but the actual racing leave you a little empty. It's really cheap if you drive a almost flawless race until the end which you made a small error and lose the race. Then you restart the race and made 3-4 very bad mistakes then end up winning the race. I found this experience a lot more common in arcade racers than sims.

 Mario Kart also punishes you for good driving and reward you for awful driving by which items/weapons you'll get. Still when playing MK with friends and family I often win races for better driving in spite of everything thrown at me. Sometimes it better to be second until close to the end.
