No. The highest rated GT game, but that's all.

If people seriously think GT5 deserves to be the best game of all-time, I'll eat my hat.

Personally i think the hype caused by the mass delays will go against it. GT5 looks good, but does it play good?

I remember at E3 2009. The media and everyone was going mental for Scribblenauts. They gave it game of E3 if i remember right? Everyone was saying how it will revolutionise games as you can do pretty much anything! Gamespot and various others were claiming it to be one of the greatest games of all time! But when it released it didn't quite end up like that did it. Reviews were pretty average, sales were pretty poor, and those media people distanced themselves from their claims. What happened? Well the problem was they bought into the hype, they were told your going to be able to do xyz in the game, which didn't happen. They listened to the people talk about the game. But when it was time for the game to stand on its own it wasen't so great.

I think GT5 is destined to be one of those games that goes the same way. We are being told once again by the media it is great, it won an award at gamescom recently, were being told that xyz features will be in there and this makes us think wow this is going to be great! But like before once you get the game it doesn't quite live up to the hype, few games do. The games that now get amazing reviews are games that you didn't really expect too much from i.e Uncharted 2,Mass Effect 2,Dragon Age etc..games that were a total surprise.

From the actual gameplay of GT5 i don't see anything that makes me too impressed and i am a racing nut. It has the typical GT feel about it which is great. But since V-Spec the series has been a bit shit. We were promised all these great things for GT4 and it didn't happen. The last GT game to get a 90% score was GT3. I think GT5 will get scores of around 90%. I would loved to be proven wrong. But of the racing games i have seen this year F1 2010 and the new Need for Speed Persuit game looked more entertaining to me.

Hyperbole Overload

No,it's not going to be the highest rated game of all time. There's just way to many great games for that to happen. It does have a chance at getting the highest rated racing game of all time. I'm considering getting this game,even though i'm not a fan of racing games in general. lol

There is no way GT5 will be the greatest games of all time. If GT5 leans too much to a sim there will be reviewers knock down it's score. If it leans too much toward arcade then other reviewers will knockk down the score. For example in one Forza 3 reviews took a hit in score because "it's was still too hardcore." They didn't like the fact around 4th season the races were getting too long.

 To get the highest score you have to please pretty much everybody which may not be possible when it somes to sims /racing. I going to say GT5 probably get a point or two higher than Forza 3 if everything goes well.

I am a huge fan of the car, I always loved how the GT5 was a setup, though. Love the rally because the GT2 when it introduced the GT, this looks amazing as FM3. There was always a bad bark and goods between the FM2 and GT4. I'm just glad to know the competition who can do it properly, on the whole there is, and we can benefit, because I love car racing simulation games.

I just checked Metacritic , the highest rated game is GTA4 which sets at 98 *cries*

There is no such thing as Zelda: OoT that people are talking about !!!

O_O

Psychonaut fans! I'm not alone!

That is only because the current metacritic layout has not yet been updated with older platforms. OoT on metacritic sits at 99. Alternatively, if you look on gamerankings it is top there.

OT: The corollary of long development time and the long time since the game was announced is that expectations will be much larger then they would have otherwise been. So no, it probably wont be the best rated game ever.
