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

Firstly, are you accusing me of photoshopping that picture? If so, check this thread. (NOTE: I do not share the views in that thread, just the pictrues. If you can prove otherwise, please do.)

Also note that all of the pictures above were not taken in game, so saying that cars in race don't look as good is a moot point.

Do you realize that any criticism that is given to GT5, yourself and Enigma keep jumping all over people? Face it, GT5 is far from perfect. Considering it took 5-6 years to release (depending in which region you live) people will have some negatives.

I didn't jump on anybody. This is how debates work. Person A makes a point, Person B rebuts, and so on. If any of the posts I have made offended you, I apologize. Now if you would like to join the debate and explain why you feel GT is far from perfect, sans its development time, please do so.

As for the posts above, I'd take GT5's visuals over all of them, but that is my opinion. Although I'm not sure how one can make a reasonable comparison between a GT 5 and a PS2 game (TOCA). I'd still like to know why you feel it is better.

That's a PC and Xbox game of Toca 3...

Regardless, is it really that much different than the PS2 version? What I really want to know is what makes it better than GT 5 in your eyes. It's a great game, I just feel GT 5 supersedes it.

No offense taken man. I just see both of you guys in disagreement with a lot of negative posts towards this game. I'm fine with a good debate. Not sure if you have played Forza 3, but it does do a lot right.

Yes, the PC and XBOX 1 versions blew away the PS2 version just in steady framerate and visuals alone.

Hmm, interesting point. Perhaps I'll seek out the demo of the PC version. I still don't see how a game released almost 5 years ago can be superior to one released a week ago in any aspect, let alone visuals, but I digress.

LOL! I'm not saying that TOCA 3 is superior than GT5.................I'm saying that TOCA 3 PC and Xbox versions were better than the PS2 version of TOCA 3.

Just my take, GT5 is a great game, but there is room for improvement and there were a lot of expectations, from GT fanatics and casual gamers alike.

I hate reading anything that has "agenda" written all over it (such as continuously bashing the series in every thread), but there are some justified criticisms in my opinion of this game. I don't like seeing the mixed reviews but this can only lead to a couple of things: 1) the buyer will rent the game and determine if its the right game for them. 2) If Polyphony doesn't like the mixed reviews and hearing criticisms from its competitors, they need to step their game up.

That part wasn't in response to you, but rather BehindShadows, who sait he thinks the TOCA Series is superior. Sorry for the confusion.

But against, I guess my disappointment or views can seem biased from the unbiased gamer.

I'm not particularly sure what that means, but calling yourself The Unbiased Gamer (or as your user title says, The Real Unbiased Gamer) is akin to LeBron James calling himself The Chosen One.

Game mode, career wise, real car damage and physics etc. GT5 is obviously graphics are superior its a new game on a new console.

But the character in Toca surpasses the GT5 one.

You still don't get it. So you're telling me in those GT5 photos there's a guy driving his car from the "in front of the car with no view of the road ahead" camera?

Huh? I was asking you a serious question, and then affirming that I did not photoshop that picture.

I'm not sure what you mean by "in front of the car with no view of the road ahead" camera, but all of those pictures were roughly from the same camera angle, which was my point.

What is your point? I'm not getting it. What I'm saying is to get the good pictures on ANY of these games you have to stop the action. Once you stop the action and go into the photomode of any of these games things change. You're not "in-game" any more. You're in their respective photomodes which are two different applications, if you will.
