Is this what E3 brings out in the big three? Lies and deception? I certainly hope not. I love E3 for the great games and if these games become lies then what's the point?
I see your point.
And... 14.9 million!? Holy craptastic!
You can't expect anything more from a crap set of journalists. Besides, people who love games know that the only review worth it's weight in salt is the review done by you, the gamer.
Since when did sales equal quality? Sorry, but what does the number of copies sold have to do with the game anyway?
If Sony were to release a new slim PS3 bundled with GT5 @ only 299.99 there would be heads exploding all over the globe. Massive giblets would take over the world!
3 things people would like to see, a slim PS3, GT5 and a price cut. Mix them all together and you have pure napalm.

By 2015, the 360 will be the Wii/ps2 of tomorrow but with HD graphics. It will be cheap, have great graphics for what it is, and have both motion and standard controllers. At about 2011/2012 we will see the new Xbox come out and cater to the hardcore for a few years before introducing some casual games. It in some way follows the same path as the PS2 but will have the hands free controller that the casuals will want. Not a bad idea actually.
It's been widely known that AW is going to be open world. Just google it.
Nice concept. Glad to see the game is coming along. I will say that much of the game thus far looks good but it makes me wonder what the full game in terms of open world will be like. It's a small town and not a city and a free roaming forest is not all that much to have fun with. Makes me wonder what other settings will be in the game to truly demonstrate the open world aspect. Games like inFAMOUS and GTA4 have intense surroundings that might explain a lower poly count int he characters but ...

That is why there are lengthy cut scenes. I have to say in disagreement with the developers here, I did not put the controller down and "wait" for the cut scene to get over with, I put the controller down and watched with excitement. I love the MGS story and the scenes were exactly what I needed to fuel my desire for more.
And can safely say I am not ont he Sony Defense Force but will say this, I am part of the fanbase for Gran Turismo. They have never, and I say NEVER let us down and would be willing 100% to bet my next $2500 paycheck on GT5 being mind blowing for those of us that love racing sims with more cars than we can shake a stick at.
Forza 3 will be awesome, don't get me wrong but when Sony can release a Prolog to it's GT5 title and sell nearly 4 million copies, you have to bet there ar...
Hack 'n' slash + Hell = Crazy goodness. Call me the death bringer to all who call themselves satan's minions please!
IGN - "Graphics: Jaggies, jaggies, and more jaggies. At times, it appears this is LEGO Forza Motorsport 2. The drab colors and weak art design don't help."

If they fix this then you can bet it will be one step closer to GT. Not quite there but getting closer.
I doubt that. When companies release all the top titles at one the biggest group to suffer are those involved in the market. If big companies release these games spread out a bit then the gaming business itself benefits and investors win big. Sure you will see some healthy competition but I am sure that Sony will save their biggest guns for a time when they are not competing with something like Halo.
With over 800 cars in the game, there is a good chance that it will be. ;-)
Is it safe to say that the true racing simulation begins when Gran Turismo 5 is released? I think so.
But you won't see me hate on it either. I just happen to be into PC FPS's at the time this series began and so it never caught on with me.
I do have to say though, announcing a fall of 2010 game in the 2009 E3 seems a bit soon. I thought Microsoft was going with the idea of announcing titles that will be released sooner than later. Did they ditch that idea?
Of course, this is Halo so I suspect they want to get the hype train rolling ASAP. Makes me wonder when we...
You have proven my point though.
Take a look at the numbers.
MS with 14/2
Sony with 8/1
In the end, Microsoft would have been given an 86% while Sony would have been given an 87% yet they give Sony a grade lower than MS...
Simply put, this is my reason for stating there might be bias here.
Can you counter that with substantial evidence that there is no bias?
Edit:
Lots of disagree'...
I see what you are saying here but have to respectfully beg the question, with GT5 being released with the damage effects people cried for for so long now, what else could the team at Polyphony Digital do to make their game even more perfect? Twice the cars, twice the tracks, three full race circuit types including off road and NASCAR and now with weather and damage effects. I pay respect to Turn 10 for a great game in Forza but to be perfectly honest, if you had your choice upon release of o...
