EA Claims Gran Turismo 5 is Very Sterile, Codemasters Accuses it as Being Boring

[Steve_OS]

Trash talking doesn't only happen in sports, it happens in video game wars, as well. Check out what EA and Codemasters had to say, as they both gang up on Gran Turismo 5.

Courtesy of CVG, check out what EA had to say about the game.

Quote:

"What does make sense to me... I think they have a very sterile, almost car collecting type of product where that's mainly what we do and I think we can offer something different."

Now, see what Codemasters had to say.

Quote:

"GT5 is going to be a phenomenal product, with the time and investment Sony have made in it," he said. "You can have a technically phenomenal game, but you can also have a game concept that doesn't really appeal [to some racing fans] and could be accused of - and you have to be careful how you write this - of being boring."

I think Test Drive Unlimited 2 will beat them both.

Phew! Glad I didn't fall for all that hype from GT5, all those pretty pics and gameplay footage had me going. But I know how this biz works. Hype it up and sell it!

Don't be so easy to sway (on both sides) and it won't happen like that.

People who but GT5 like the series.... Who cares what EA or Codemasters say, EA makes AAA low Rated games Need for speed is hasn't really been good for a while. Codemasters really what game do they have that have that has outdone anything that PD has put out. I would take anything a competitor says with a Handful of Salt. If you like Sim Racing Then GT5 is for you. If you like arcade racing then any EA racer is for you. Codemasters Games sit in the middle sort of like Forza except they add little gimmicky features aesthetically to make their games look visceral. But they don't offer the same amount of detail that GT5 offers. But yeah go ahead and listen to what EA or Codemasters says because they are the authority... lmao
