@EDMIX - couldn't agree more, great post.
@sullynathan - "Also forgetting that GTA in itself is bigger than anything EA & 99% of the rest of the video game market has ever worked on..."
Polyphony Digital says hello. They've actually changed the mechanics of practicing and breaking into Motorsport single handedly.
/A console based video game did that/.
That's pretty big.
Looks very cool, but for some reason I just cannot stop playing BF4 on ma PS4.. smh.
Don't forget Red Faction!
One of THE best games ever devised and produced. Hands down.
You really need to get out more and do a lot more research before you get near a kb, because you have no idea what the Hell you're on about..
"...Won't save the PS2..."
Silly 2015 clickbait kids have no idea the PS2 came and saved all of us.
/s but you feel me.
Konami is full of shit. Hideo and people like him transcend this type of corporate hubris and arrogance, most often by rising to levels never thought possible.
After many years, this will be the Nintendo product that compels me to faithfully invest in their company again.
Love this game but honestly looking forward to PC2 now. I have written extensively on the shortfalls (niggling online glitches, and bugs) of this game on GT Planet compared to the scores that it garnered straight away, but I and others have also gone on to say that it filled a necessary void on next-gen consoles for sim racers at the perfect time (between GT6 and GT Sport, etc) and thus blew away any and all console based sim racers and critics with its sheer abundance of options, great gra...
"I don't like the way Playstation is headed. They're more about indie games than anything. Phil Spencer said he wants to invest in AAA games because that's what sets a console apart from the other. To bad Sony is going the opposite direction this gen."
....I see what you did there (unfortunately)... ¬ ¬
End the world and start over again.
@blak
do you live at the bottom of the ocean?
Say what you want, but it beats the pants off of trying to get the help, attention, or knowledge from one of the underpaid workers at wal-mart.
Yeah but Konami is just lurking in the "shadows" ready to dash this guys dreams like a typhoon.
Damn Far Cry 3. What memories...
You had me at PS2...
This is actually one of the coolest things I've seen or heard of in about a decade. God, the modern day direction of gaming and the entire economic model of it seems to completely suck. Fun for the Win.

"They have got it spot on. I can't think of another game that has ever had so much studio support for so long after release (well outside of WoW type subscription games)."
As far as supporting racers goes, Polyphony Digital heavily supports years after as well.

Don't play with my emotions...
In all of my years on this site, I have never seen X fans defend numbers in this manner. It is surely a new day.
