And my PS3 is currently in a million parts on my kitchen table, so you are just gonna have to live with it for a little while.
I am? I figured given your firm tone you'd have no problem coming up with the reason you believe Laguna in GT5 is messed up on the level Nordschleife is messed up in FM4. I mean, for starters, it would have to be 15% longer than it actually is, wouldn't it?
That's the exact kind of wishy washy weaseling that GT5 shouldn't need to resort to for a defense. It is clearly meant to be Monaco. It is used in races in the game that show it is supposed to be Monaco.
And Rome is used in races in the game that show it is supposed to be Rome. What is your point?
I think you're overthinking the issue. GT5 doesn't lay a claim to have real world Monaco GP circuit in the game. If it did, it wouldn't be called Cote d'Azur. May be PD couldn't secure the license for the track, may be they didn't feel the need to. The matter of the fact is, Cote d'Azur is a fictional track and any resemblance to real Monaco circuit is a plus, not a negative. Once again, it is under the category of
fictional tracks, along with the likes of SSR7.
Even if it we are going to say that it is just a city course with nothing special about it whatsoever, it still looks nothing like the streets in the city it is supposed to represent.
Is Cote d'Azur a real world city? And it is "just a city course". Just like SSR7, which in turn also doesn't look "nothing like the streets in the city it is supposed to represent". Which city would that be, by the way?
And besides, I know for a fact that if Turn 10 did the same thing with their Nurburgring and called it the "Nurburg Race Course" or whatever that the same standard wouldn't apply, because I actually asked people in one of the threads and was met with a resounding "no," because apparently the Nurburgring is so mythical and amazing that it transcends all other things in the game.
I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here, but if Turn 10 named FM4's version of Nordschleife "Nurburg Race Course", all the criticism of it's accuracy would become moot. Turn 10 would still be asked to include a proper licensed version of the track, because, after all, it is a real world track.
And more real world tracks in the game is a good thing, wouldn't you agree?
Re-read the quote.
To say the truth , the FM4 Nordschleife as just a track, isn't that bad. It's real fun to race on it, especially in rival mode with slow car traffic. Sure it's not accurate, but during a race most people wouldn't care, just like someone else said. I enjoy it more then i intended to and i really like FM4s physics. So I would like to test them on a accurate Nordschleife. Rival mode is also great, it's almost like multiplayer even without X-Box Gold. I wished Gt5 had something cool like that.
