Polyphony Digital = Digital Perfectionism

/off topic

YLOD Service Tech < RROD Service Tech

Reliability > RROD - DRE - E74

lol

Darkestbeforedawn6028d ago

You are absolutely correct, but you didn't have to add the PS3 fanboy part. The Need for Speed series has sold over 100 million copies, and the quality is definitely much lower than Gran Turismo's. http://www.videogamer.com/n...

PirateThom6028d ago

No, sales don't equal quality as Modern Warfare has shown, but when you have the quality of Gran Turismo the sales are more than warranted and deserved.

DarthTigra 6028d ago

No sales doesn't = quality but no matter how you spin it(and this goes for PS3 and 360 fanboys alike) whichever sells the most shows what people are interested in the most. Now it doesn't mean that they will like it or enjoy it but these numbers show that the gaming community as a whole prefers GT over Forza, period. Same goes with Halo and all other games.

@PirateThom

Same can be said with just about every high selling game out there.

"No, sales don't equal quality as Modern Warfare has shown, but when you have the quality of Halo 3 the sales are more than warranted and deserved."

or

"No, sales don't equal quality as Gran Turismo has shown, but when you have the quality of Modern Warfare 2 the sales are more than warranted and deserved."

@YLOD

GTFO!! GT and polyphony digital speak for themselves. The car industry says they set the standard.

Polyphony's relentless attack on perfection reminds me of the sound @ 1:23

...and will be presented to the world reborn again in 2010. I can't hardly wait.. no excuses, no apologies, or twitter mea culpas, just the best console racing experience the public will have available to them......bar-none.

Maddens Raiders6028d ago

you're NaiNai account is calling. Why must you troll....why? MW2 is out remember?

Greywulf6028d ago (Edited 6028d ago )

Halo has sales, and terrible quality. They released the 5 year old engine for 60 dollars...PD started from scratch, You don't get how thats different?Of course you wouldn't, ur eyes are rroding.

GT's sales speak to direct criticism by Turn10 and other morons in the media.

PS3 fans don't say their games are good BECAUSE of sales, unlike the 360 crowd. Which you're missing.

Does 8 million ring a bell?

Why o why6028d ago

cant compute. Guys like that will never learn the difference between greatness and great marketing....spiderman 3 movie vs shawshank redemption. fiats vs farraris. Its like they can only think selectively on 2 plains. GT is still the king...says the driving industry not no bs site that gives its shiny cars 10 for graphics. (no disrespect to forza fans)

fishd6028d ago

A happy owner of GT5:P,would have been more happy if Nurburgring was in it tho!lol

Maddens Raiders6028d ago

is to become one with the earth, wind, sky, and machine. There just isn't anything else like it track-wise. I guess that's why it's called the greatest race track in the world.

Gran Turismo 5 “Prologue” - 4,170,000

MaximusPrime6028d ago

i cant wait for GT5! going to be an interesting figure. probably more than GT5P

PirateThom6028d ago

Going by history, I'd say around "double" GT5P.

Chubear6028d ago

Life time, yes but you know the naysayers will scream "FAIL!" if it doesn't do 4mill in one hr. I think GT5 is a lock for over 10mill life time but we'll see if the FUD machine can slow it down.

ultimolu6028d ago

Idk, I just want the game so I could drool at the cars. ^__^

Monk3y6028d ago

i thought GT5p was a sale flop :o

well, GT5 will sell probably like 20m+

DarthTigra 6028d ago (Edited 6028d ago )

Pretty good for a game that's an "over priced" "demo" on a "Blu-Ray player" Which "nobody buys games for" that "comes no where near" the "definitive Racer of this generation".

MaximusPrime6028d ago

@ Blacktigra

lol but still hardcore Forza lovers refused to accept that GT is the true and original racing simulator. Gran Turismo, the one that Forza gets it inspiration from.

The king of kings. Now all GT5 needs is a car wash with girls in their bikinis & sponges to shine 'em wheels. That would make it the best game this generation imo.
