Forums - Sony Discussion - Not very impressed by GT5 demo

I've played dozens of demos.

The graphics in the retail release NEVER improve on what the demo looks like. If this did, it would be the first game in history to do so.

Motorstorm demo says otherwise >_>

Not from what I saw.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Lol Saviorx is just hating on it for some reason or the other.


Its the PS3 all over again. People are hating on it without giving it a chance and judging it on a demo that represents a very small fraction of the actual game

I would have nothing to gain from "hating" on GT5. Just trying to add some perspective here.

That's why everyone said it looked hideous and that's why Sony updated the demo after the release so it would reflect the graphics from the released game?  Right.

Yeah, um, A) I love the PS3.  Just because I don't like every exclusive for it doesn't mean I hate the PS3.

B) Whoever said it was "ignorant" to think that the final release will not look better than the demo----It's ignorant, at least in marketing circles, to expect your core audience to just magically know that.  I would venture to say a vast majority of gamers out there are not details kind of people.  When you say something is a demo of a game on Playstation Network or Xbox Live, then users expect a demo.  It doesn't say "GT5 Demo that is only focusing on the physics, not the graphics or the rest of the game".  It just says "Gran Turismo 5 Demo". 

If you, like myself, read gaming headlines every day, follow developer blogs, listen to podcasts, and read/listen to interviews about gaming, you are in the minority.  We are a very vocal minority, I will give you that, but I would venture to guess that most gamers do not like to analyze each and every title for its entire develpment cycle before buying it.  They just say, "I am going to shit my pants when _____ comes out," and then they buy it.  If I were one of those people, I would not buy Gran Turismo 5 based on this lame demo. 

Sorry fanboys, but it's entirely possible that this game might just be kind of "blah" as far as sales and reviews.  Maybe I'll be proven wrong and it will be a revolution.  If that ends up being the case, I may just buy it. 




Reading different forums what has become clear is xbox fans/viral marketeers hate every ps3 exclusive equally.

I 100% love my Xbox 360 and spend a lot of hours on it, but my second favorite game of all time (only second to Half Life 2) is a PS3 exclusive.  And that game is Uncharted 2.  I also consider Killzone 2 to be the best console shooter I have ever played (it may now be second to MW2, but it would be a close second).  I also love LBP.  I am really rooting for the PS3 this gen, and I think it's only going to continue to close the sales gap.

So......I think I'm still aloud to hate GT5 if I want to.  Is that ok with the PS3 club?

Obvious reply: why bother making a thread just to downhype the game for others then?



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Obvious reply to that:  It's an opinion and I am interested in other opinions.  Why bother having a forum on the site at all if we're not supposed to bother to make threads about what we think about games?
