yes, thats because Turn 10 never had to release patches:

If you think not having patches is ...
Your comment history does not indicate you intend to buy this game - if you even have a PS3
But its easy to fix: reduce graphics to the level of a forza, which looks a generation behind GT5. Take the resolution to 720p, reduce car details, halve the number of cars, take out weather/lighting effects, should remove any framerate drops. But we would prefer to continue to play GT5 with the occasional screen teras and frame rate drops rather than downgrade to a last gen arcade-sim...
hmmm. interesting. Can see the similarities. He might work well
Because they released 3 games in 6 years, unlike those lazy idiots at Polyphony, and they still manage to consistently achieve cutting edge graphics, long involving single-player campaigns, continuously innovative game-play and groundbreaking depth of story
Suddenly all those attacking GT5 over the last couple of days on every article, for not being "perfect", will be lining up to defend the perfect shooter game when it comes to graphics and innovative fresh gameplay
Yes
Its the best simulator around, by far, but we hate simulators and would prefer to play an arcade game such as Burnout or Forza so 8/10
The graphics and lighting effects are truly the best in any racing game, and that too in 1080p.
The physics and car handling is much more realistic than GT4 or competitors, and even negative reviews are forced to admit that its the best simulator on consoles.
The level of detail on the 200 premium cars is amazing, a generation ahead of any other racing game, and the 800 standards “only” as good as most other games
The damage modelling though ...
GT5 versus last gen GT game: new, much more realistic physics model, new damage model (for premium cars but still), 1080p versus 480p, 800 old cars upgraded to 1080p and 200 lavishly equipped new cars with fully featured cockpit view, Added Nascar, track editor, Rally, weather.
If thats at the cost of a patch, I will take it.
So 1080p with minor frame rate issues and barely noticeable screen tearing is worse than a 720p engine? wow.
If GT5 had been at 720p, not only would the frame rate be stable, the gap in visual effects versus Forza would be even more noticeable. Thats why KZ2 and UC2, playing at 720p, make Halo Reach look like a last gen game
We can see your comment history yopu know?
Nihilism - the best games on the PS3 are the exclusives, and they make up maybe a third of the games collection, unless you include crappy shovelware.
And I am perfectly fine with a console on which multiplats are often marginally inferior (very rarely badly broken as in Bayonetta) and has a far superior library of 1st party games, in terms of numbers (15 exclusives next year versus Gears 3?), variety (where is 360's LBP, Heavy Rain, Last Guardian, GoW) and also look far better. H...
Exactly.
All that matters to you is the metascore.
All that matters to me is that I get to play GT5, the best car simulator by far, with the most content and cars, the best graphics, the most realistic physics, the only sim to boast features like weather and traack editors.
Incidentally, meta tells me Halo 3 and CoD MW2 (94 both) are superior to KZ2 (91) and MAG (76) - surely I shouldnt have enjoyed the two latter games so much more?
Give credit to Forza for what?
720p graphics, less detailed car models?
Inferior physics and car handling in a so-called simulator?
A last-gen damage model?
Do a comparison for Forza 3 versus GT5 on graphics, content, feature, physics, AI, damage - the only section where Forza might score better is AI. Even damage, which is a weak point for GT5, is inferior in Forza where they use a damage modeling system which is last gen and picked up from Forza 1. ...
Great, thanks
Some of the more interesting statements:
One "Sony already had a strong fanbase onside"
Something which is going to be even more true in 2013? The best exclusives, great package, no hidden costs versus no exclusives, 35% RROD, paid online
Microsft "were very US-centric."
Not much change there
"Ken Kutaragi was very pro third-party. He said we should never allow ourselves ...
I guess we will have to settle for the best car simulation game, with twice the content, 1080p graphics, better car models, nextgen damage and physics, track editor, nascar, weather, rally, karts...
You get to play the arcade-sim that pretends to be a simulator and scored 92 on meta. Lucky you!
I guess that means Splinter Cell (83) and Alan Wake (83) really sucked I guess.
Where is X ziyad Y, or whatever that thing is called?
"What disrupts gameplay for longer: getting up to switch a disc (takes roughly 10 secs) or waiting 30+ minutes to install it to the HDD?"
Neither. Its waiting for your console to get repaired after it RRODs for the 7th time.
Sales don’t matter. What matters is that they have slaved over this for 5 years, and it shows. And, of course, it not a Forza, just like Killzone 2 is not Halo and Demon’s Souls is no Fable. Thank god for that.
How would spending "quality time" on Forza help in doubling the number of cars, increase resolution to 1080p, improve the physics and handling model to GT5 standards, add Nascar/rally/karts/weather and update the last-gen damage modelling system picked up from Forza 1?
And as Abriael pointed out - Forza car models and damage modelling is roughly same class as the standard cars (except GT5 has twice as many) and totally outclassed by the premium cars.
Your comments seemed a biot strange, and then I realised why - it conveys excitement for the game and appreciation for the nuances of the game, and this was completely absent in most of the reviews for the game
