You're missing the point. It's voted lower on visuals than a game it's clearly above. Gameplay I can't speak on, but I'm willing to bet that's improved as well. Different times and different standards were also put on Halo: Reach vs Halo 3, but most would be crazy to consider Halo 3's visuals a step above Halo: Reach's.

What different standards though?

At this present time in the gaming market according to what kind of odd standards does GT5 deserve a 15/20?

I've seen responses like this for every major game release. It's just that people are going to magnify it because it's something the likes of GT. Man, how many "disappointed" people I've seen regarding Black Ops, Reach, and God of War III, and yet all have come and done their work for the industry and are still talked about.

I wouldn't worry too much about GT5.

4/5 of all cars are PS2 quality- Do you think that deserves higher then a 75? 

Does this?

In the least you can admit that GT5's graphics are inconsistant, we know this from the Premium/Standard division.

If any other next gen game had best graphics ever for the first 2 levels and last gen visuals for the last 8 levels, it wouldn't get a perfect (or high) graphics score either.

Congrats. Still doesn't change what I said. In fact, it's pretty spot on.

I know, but I expect it, especially with PS3 exclusives.

The Sony family is partially to blame, because they are always so hyped about their games

In reality, it's just a game that won't be perfect (like every other game), but because it's huge, will have it's share of doubters and nitpicks. Comes with the territory.

Are you sure that image is from GT5?

It's probably not fake, but Prologue. And even then, it's probably the worst pic he could find. Tell you what I'm doing from here on out, ignoring the usual nitpick. I get the game tomorrow and will judge it for myself. Reviews also hit tomorrow (ones I usually trust), so we'll see what they give it.

All you're gonna find now is some people that will look to pick at it when they probably weren't that excited to begin with, and/or listened to the most rabid of Sony fans hype it to mighty Heaven. I've asked people who are playing it on my friend list what they thought. The main complaint has been the lock up because of the online component not being ready (seeing as the game hasn't really launched yet). Other than that, graphic's complaints have been virtually nill.

Anectdotal, sure, but I'm willing to wait the 12-16 hours to hear/see the verdict.

Here's another review:

5/6

"And then there are two main impressions that are left: A kind of comforting feeling that allows us to easily proclaim this as the most ambitious, most beautiful and complete racing game to date. A racing game that probably nobody will be able to outdo the next five or six years".

Edit: If the game does disappoint, I'm prepared to admit that and apologize to those I quoted.
