i would agree that the game is both sterile and boring. but, it is a sim and claims to be nothing else.. for pure fun i would definitely go to a codemasters game. Loving GT5 and cant wait for DIRT 3 :D
He's just saying that the game isn't going to appeal to all racing game fans, but more so only the ones who are into hardcore sim racing.
He might've worded it differently, but it's an accurate enough statement.
Myself, if I can't powerslide around a hairpin turn at 100+ mph, I'm not interested, so sim racing is definitely "boring" to me.

The peaceful music with all of the menus never did it for me. I like how Forza gets straight to the point.

Gah, fuck off with your irritating and mostly fabricated 'facts' already. We get it, you DON'T like GT5

I pretty sure that other devs slagging on GT5 is simply in defense of their own investments, and the people that don't like sim racers can keep on not liking them. This game isn't for them.
I haven't played man furismo since 3, I think I'll stick to blur. It's senseless fun. But you have to admit man furismo improves your real life driving skills. /takes a turn at 40 mph >.>
Racing games can be boring or at least get boring. I've always been a Mario Kart and F Zero fan because of the unrealistic style but this one looks pretty sweet to me due to the attention to detail. I don't own a PS3 but I do want to check this one out somehow.
Opinions != Facts
I've said it before, if you like something, then you shouldn't care what other people think, unless deep down you agree with what they're saying and your in denial.

I find Grand Turismo sterile and kinda boring. However, I've always found Grand Turismo sterile and boring. Same with most racing sims as I prefer arcade racers over sim racers all the time, they're more fun to play in my opinion.
However I'm lol-ing at how some people are freaking out that reviewers are not constantly perfect scoring GT5 and calling out the fact that it *gasp* is not a perfect game and has flaws.

People Gran Turismo 5 is a racing sim.
racing sim
Sim
as in a Simulation game attempting to replicate "real life".
Why is this still an issue?

CEO of game publishing company gets some free press by saying that the big-name game du jour can't compete with its own product. News at 11.

Because a lot of people play games to escape real life, not replicate it. Plus I dunno, I personally don't think Grand Turismo has ever been as life-like as it claims to be.
Also, you stole the first four letters of my username. Asshole.

I love racing Sims and can't wait to get GT5 in the knowledge that the GT series is the be all and end all of racing sims.

If you want adrenaline rush with video games you snort a rail of sugar (jeez you thoght of drugs) and you play Burnout!
Realsim in driving is NOT a rush, I do it every god damn day and it sucks balls.

this the same codemasters that's sweatin about used games? yeah games like grid, dirt, you can play thru on a weekend and return to gamefly/gamestop.
gt will consume you.
polyphony digital isn't worried about used game sales.

I feel I ought to say (although I expect no one will give a shit about my opinion) that I prefer other racing games.
Fot example, tonight I've been bombing about on crazy taxi and ive had more fun on that than any GT game I've played in the past.
That's just my preference tho and I'm really chuffed that GT5 was worth the wait for all those racing sim enthusiasts.

I have no idea why people expect a sim to be massively exciting. It's every bit as silly as going into Flight Simulator expecting an action-packed, arcady jet fighting game.
I love all the dumbasses in here comparing potatoes to apples. If you like your arcade racers, good for you, this game isn't for you in the first place.
As for all the CEOs that feel the need to compare a game that isn't even in the same category to GT, I think they are rather clueless. Seriously, comparing a F1 sim or Arcade racer to GT is ridiculous.

I'd imagine it's a likelihood, seeing as it's a simulation. They're rarely much fun for anyone who isn't an enthusiast of that particular theme.
So boring I've been playing it for 7 1/2 hours straight, stop hatin. If you were expecting "Gran Turismo: Michael Bay Edition" then you were fooling yourself from the start.
I enjoy Racing Sims, and Arcade racers. It is possible to enjoy them both people.

Just to clarify: i'm not trying to rag on codemasters, (i enjoyed dirt 2) but when these ceos start spewin all this shit it just makes them look bad. also desperate. let your games do the talkin. has turn10 said anything regarding gt5 lately? no they're too busy workin on forza 4.
btw i love this whole gt vs forza thing thats goin on, capitalism at it's finest. best be steppin they shit up if they want to compete.

@nytharas exactly man people should enjoy both, but from hearing comments from this site and others gamers are really single minded ignorant fools. Gt5 is an amazing game just as you expect if you don't like sims that's cool but to haraas other people because of that is just plain stupid.
As for the forza vs gt in my eyes both amazing racers but forza is way more arcady, they shouldn't be compared.
Its funny the excuses people make up to avoid gt5. The worst has to be I'd rather drive in real life then play a sim. LMFAO yeah when do you have a chance to drive 1200 cars? Most which are really hard to find or cars most people can't afford. Yeah that's right I want to drive my honda civic all day when I could be putting people in place in gt5 with a ferrari... Hmm very logical
@SonyIchiban
Do yourself a favor and don't be the next Sofik88. Nobody likes it and you will very soon be the next target. Its not worth it.
This discussion is not about Forza, or xbox vs playstation. its about codemasters being very carful about how they take a sly dig at GT5. Maybe its not even a dig, just opinion.

Dear People Calling Out Those of Us Who Don't Like Racing Sims,
Not everybody likes every kinds of games. Don't lump all of us together or call us dumbasses just because we're stating honest opinions and not trolling in the least.

I'm utterly amazed you haven't been banned yet.
Some trolls are funny, some are stupid but you are just down right offensive.
Your ego is only matched by the sheer level of your aggression.

I don't have a PS3 or even played a Gran Turismo game but as I understand it the GT games are sim racer games. Accusing a simulation game of being boring sounds like something a remedial sugar loaded 8 year old would say. It's thinking like that that killed off the majority of flight sims.
"'ARM MY WAR HEADS' BUT I JUST WANT TO SHOOT THEM" "WHAT'S A FLAP AND WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE UP?"
But hey that's just my understanding of it, if they're not sim games please correct me.

While I do applaud Gran Turismo's anal attention to detail.
Yeah, it gets boring pretty fast. But that's all racing games that don't let me drive like some sadist on wheels or the Dukes of Hazzard.
Pretty much brings it down to Mario Kart, Twisted Metal and the GTA games for me.

Games like GT have their place, and I'm glad Sonybros finally have a good supercar sim to compliment the other excellent racers available.
ive always wondered what crews like Bizzare Creations and Codemasters could do with a 6 year deadline on one racer.
Oh God.
It's video games people. Video games. There's a reason Jim put the image of crying toddler on top of the post.
If you like GT5, good. If you don't like GT5, also good. Buy what you want, and don't buy what you don't want.
Even toddlers should be able to comprehend this. How old are you people? 10? 12? Maybe almost 14? I sincerely hope some of you aren't older than 15.
I like video games just as much as the next guy. But some of the comments I'm reading seem to be written by 5 year olds having hissy fits. Grow up.

In all honesty Jim, the 360/Forza fanboys aren't much better right now. Nearly worse at times with some of the shit I've seen.
Like they consider it a victory against the PS3 or GT for it to receive "only" an 8.5. Even Dale was accused of being bought out by Sony for his 10. Bullshit from all sides.
They're all just bitching between each other right now. While most normal gamers who like racers probably enjoy both series to some degree. Myself included.
