I just dont understand why they have such horrible coverage for GT5, its like they want the game to look bad?

Yeah, the GT5 coverage has been bad on Kotaku. But TBH, I think it's been bad everywhere.

IGN has been covering it greatly along with FORZA, GT barely covers GT5, gamespot I dont know, but kotaku definately acts a little wierd with GT.. in comparison to another racer.

GT can only cover trailers.

They have like 4 gameplay videos for GT, gamersyde has over 10..

Most kotaku posters are pretty good. I should know, I've been a member there for a long, long time. With that said, Luke is the only one you should watch out for. I don't think he likes the ps3 and/or Sony but whatever.

He's still a pretty good writer.


Actually, I don't buy that. Kotaku posts some pretty terrible stuff. Their posts are usually misinformed and usually three to four days after the news happens. They didn't get the nickname Slowtaku for nothing. Couple that with fanboy staffers like Luke, who does not just report news.

This is funny.

Hahaha that made me laugh. My main beef with Kotaku is that they typically don't report news as it should be (Facts or reporting on potiential rumours) they take facts and add 2 cents which usually results in the facts turning into fiction.

Well no, they don't ever report news. They almost always try to make news.

Even something as simple as posting sales posts. Even then, they insert their own opinions which are often incorrect or deceiving.

I feel so bad for you. Lol. I'm sure you'll enjoy GT5 regardless of the reviews, relax. I wish had both consoles so I could pick it up :)



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Kotaku is the tabloid of gaming. They take 1 tiny shred of fact (like that Sony makes the PS3) and then make some super psycho crazy lame story that they then will follow up with a new story blaming someone (typically Sony) and print another version that is closer to the truth after it has been reported truthfully everywhere else.

Kotaku has been proven to be a joke time and time again. It cannot be taken seriously. Luke is the pit bottom worst there but Kotaku as a whole is horrid IMO.

To those who like it and follow it, I say enjoy yourselves. No harm no foul I just can't stomach Kotaku.
