What's the point of this article and title? Bedsides all those ads and pop-up on your page?
You go on to praise the game's significance. But because it's been passed by later games in graphics and features, you're going to say in the article that it finishes last? It's like praising Ford with the first, affordable production car. Then, smear it because it doesn't hold up to modern cars? Really? I would take a Model T out for a spin just as I would play a few laps of GT with that Corvette Stingray. Yup. That one. And a few other cars.
There are gamers like myself that still play PS1 games often. Weekly. Monthly. There's gamers preparing themselves to play PS1 games with trophies on the new PS Plus. For them, maybe it doesn't finish last and is still fun.
And the idea that GT was passed up by Forza is ridiculous. Not in users. Not in sales. Not in worldwide respect. Not in graphics detail. Ever. Motorsport is a nice game. It has never won over drivers worldwide against GT. No increase in Xbox sales because of it over GT and PlayStation. Flash, marketing and advertising dollar spin doesn't equal reality.
You conveniently ignored review scores. No Gran Turismo game has scored 90+ on Metacritic in over 20 years, since the PS2!! That’s before Forza even existed. Seven Forza games have scored 90+, as recently as last year. The truth is Gran Turismo has long been surpassed by Forza quality-wise.
Ye every GT game has outsold Forza by a huge margin. And that's with almost double the Forza games. Forza passing GT is subjective because not 2 weeks ago we had developers talking about how metacritic doesn't matter. You know what matters 10+ million in sales. A publisher rather make over a billion than to get 90+ on metacritic (not saying publishers don't care about quality but that it's a business and sales matter)
GT:P sold more than 5 million and that was a demo and most Forza games can't touch that even now. Sales can't be the dominant figure when it comes to halo and not other games
Over the course of decades for GT vs near recent yearly iterations of Forza? If Forza has "surpassed" GT it was through repetition of copying and improving a feature like realistic weather in attempt to match what an earlier version of GT did.
And even then GT is generally regarded as an actual racing sim where Forza is a car porn arcade driver. Talking about review difference within ten points.
From what I can see, Forza Motorsport hasn't hit the 9s since 2011 (the xbox 360 days). You must be comparing GT to Forza Horizon - a completely different type of game.
It was a toxic article with him basically saying that Forza is now the top. Lol
Listen it's ok to have an opinion. Just don't tell everyone it's the truth.
People will always prefer one over the other. I like FH4 just for the open world messing about. But it's always been GT for racing, maybe the new Forza will fix things, but they had a few goes so far and it still doesn't feel like anything but an arcade racer, and don't get me on to the rewind feature.
Nah GT 1-3 are the best. They still had the fun simcade handling, sense of speed and the good camera unlike the boring static chase cam view starting in GT4.
This guy's opinion from this website is whack. This article is a "hey look at me article". I feel like the author is Stewart from MADtv. Gran Turismo 1 is not last place.
GT1 was and still is a masterpiece, the system that it was made for, the PS1.
Loved every minute with that game, was truly amazing to have that racing experience on a tv at home.
Most games I played were in arcades. Those were the days.
Another game was the original Tomb-raider on PS1. Blew me away.
I grew up on commodore 16, spectrum, then commodore 64, amstrad cpc 464.
I used to use a modem connecting at a massive rate of 9.6kilobytes a sec,lol. through a bulletboard service and then connect to people in other countries, it felt you were a hacker. Great times. Phone bills were a bit steep though.
You might think what has this got to do with GT.
You can only really judge a game, at the time it was made.
As for newer titles, GT7- It's not perfect by any stretch, but it plays very well and looks great. Updates will improve it further.
But hey, if you think Forza is better, that's upto you. Be happy with what your playing at the end of the day.
