they had an entire episode where they were comparing GT4's realism to reality. They kept saying haw realistic it was
| Ajescent said: BBC are not allowed to advertise it on national tv because of liscensing issues, if they did, they would have to do a feature on Forza and just about every other racing game out there. So, best to just avoid it. But they might mention it elsewhere in passing. |
No, they can plug it if they want just as the guests do with their new films , books etc.
i remember it was mentioned in one of the episodes.
- Wasteland - The Mission.
whoa, 350 million people watch top gear? i thought i was the only one..
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I mean car racing IS Europe, so by advertising the number one racing game on the market on the show would be a good idea for both BBC and Sony.
No.....the same reason Fifa won't advertise Fifa 11 at the world cup tonight. They are unable to. If they could I am sure they would. Think about it this way, if 750 million - 1 Billion people are exposed to a football game whilst watching a football match that could be significent. However if Fifa are unable to do that then there is no way in hell that BBC will be able to advertise Gran Turismo.
| kowenicki said: its a leap to think people that watch top gear have an interest in gaming. Of the half dozen guys I am in business with, all of which watch top gear, only one is interested in gaming... me. The rest have zero interest. I also think the star in a car test track section is the least interesting and amusing part of the whole show. |
its a leap to think that the other 349,999,994 viewers have the same lack of interest in games as your friends.
@OT of course they will show it on Top gear if they have before they certainly will now that they are in it.
They advertise and promote a fair bit. like when guy ritchie came on they showed the trailer for his new film or katy price's new book they talk into it a bit.

Yes it is... but I didnt say that did I. The point was that the demographic of the Top Gear viewers and gamers are not in any way linked and so I doubt it would makes much difference. I will bet you any amount of money that Top Gear do NOT "advertise and promote a fair bit", your analogy of the stars promoting their latest film or book is irrelevant, it is the star promoting their book/movie not top gear. What they may do is a feature where perhaps they get Stig to drive a car around a track and then Jeremy may 'drive' the same virtual car around the track at the same time. That will be the only type of thing they would be allowed to do. |
I bet more people watching Top Gear will be more interested in hearing about a game with similarities too what the viewers like such as sports cars and tracks including Top gears own test track with stig, than katie price's book bloody book.
if its not what you were hinting at then I don't know why you added your mates aren't interested in games, it was clearly an irreivant comment.

Think of it this way - 350 million "potential" buyers.
