Since you brought it up Forza Motorsport 7 has 87 on Xbox One on Metacritic. A game with worse physics, sounds, graphics and online scored better than GT Sport and PC 2. Is that fair? Not really, not at all. Its scores fail to reflect its inferiority as a sim racer.

All GTS has over FM7 is the visual upgrade which keep in mind FM7 is built upon FM5 back in 2013. Also you are forgetting one major part on what makes a good game. Content. GTS has a better foundation but remember you are comparing a games foundation made in 2017 compared to 2013. 

Graphics isn't everything, FM7 gives the player variety and a full list of cars to choose from. Actual day and night cycles and a lot more tracks. FM7 is the principle of car games when it comes to content and its the best in the class for it. GTS is basically another PC2 with less. FM7 deserves its reviews because for a video game, it is amazing value and offers a fun package. GTS just doesn't compete with FM7 in that department. GTS sits in an awkward position, its not as simmy as PC2 and doesn't have the content as Forza. That's why it sits on the bottom of the reviews. It does nothing new to the genre and fails to master anything. That's not a dig at the game but a reality.

How about you answer my previous question to you, what does GTS do better than PC2 that deserves a better rating?

 GTS has more cars than project CARS 2 and it do way more at release than pC1 at release. If you think pC1 had better physics than GTS you don’t know what you’re talking about. You, just like those reviews, are measuring with different measures.

GT Sport‘s cars are modelled in way more detail, both visually and in terms of physics, than any car in Forza. It’s not even close, so the quantity argument is moot. Quality trumps quantity every day of the week, so yeah...the game was never rated fairly, just in comparison to other, older games and purely in terms of quantity by many.

PC2 - 180 Cars

GTS - 162 Cars

Just for laughs, FM5 released with 200 cars back in 2013.

GT Sport has 232 cars to date. 

One car in GT Sport gets modelled in house in 4-6 month.

Just for the laughs.. car modelling in Forza games is outsourced to companies in India and China.

 

You're welcome.
