Will you stay with GTS or no?


  • Total voters
    275
I am just reacting to the poll results so far. 52% will stay with the GTS and 27.5% remain a maybe. So almost 80% of poll respondents so far are still likely to buy the game no matter how long it is delayed or how complete it is?

Sheep.


Even though I'm not on the side of the fence in which your "sheep" insult is aimed at, insulting those who choose to still support the game is a very childish act and really uncalled for. Those people are not affecting you in any way and I fail to see the purpose of you "reacting" to the poll in such an insulting manner.

If GTS has the P1, It will remain on my rader no matter how many delays it suffers :)

You know, considering the LaFerrari is already confirmed, I'd say that it's only a matter of time before the P1 is shown. What's the point of having only one hybrid hypercar?

What's even worse than this post is that two people liked it, and I'm very surprised that @Imari liked it. Imari, I thought better of you, dude.*

*no offense intended, so please don't take it as an insult

Well in that case the P1 GTR and the FXXK to please :)

Baaaah..... It will still sit well in my collection of Driveclub, Pcars, Dirt Rally and the recently acquired Assetto Corsa.


And guess what...... The grass really is greener on my side of the fence:sly:;)
 
Wow. Didn't expect that much of a response to that post. It still surprises me that 80% seem to be leaning toward "meh, there's another PD delay, but I'll still buy it no matter what they do."

So let me engage in this thread in a different way. What will be the last straw for you with PD?

Seriously, does it need explanation? I'm assuming you're just trolling, but I'll bite: How, in your mind, does "Meh, maybe." equal to "I'll still buy it no matter what they do."? Because the first statement includes an obvious conditional/reservation while the second one doesn't.

What did you expect :rolleyes: when you insult people by calling them "sheep" just because they still want to support the game through good times and the bad. Just because you have apparently moved on doesn't mean that everyone else should. PD will always have its dedicated core fan base no matter what (unless they really start failing miserably), be it 80% or 50%. Furthermore, beings this is mostly a GT fan site, that high number shouldn't surprise you at all. Go over to the Forza side and ask the same question, that number more than likely won't be that high. Its just common sense.

One: Please don't stalk me.
Two: It's kind of cute that you think you can somehow browbeat me into the opinions that you want me to have by threatening to withdraw your respect of me.
Three: A like is a very, very vague sort of response to a post. To me at least, it does not mean "I totally agree with everything said in this post and would like to subscribe to this poster's newsletter". For me, it can be as simple as "I think this poster makes an interesting point".

In that particular case, I don't agree that the poll results mean that 80+% of people are sheep. On the other hand, I'm pretty strongly against the current pre-order culture and I think that poll is a good example of people nailing their colours to a post for no particularly good reason. 50% of people still willing to stick with a game without reservations after it has shown notable development difficulties seems a bit weird. Especially given that we now don't have a time frame for it, and it probably invalidates most of the actual gameplay that we've seen so far.

I probably wouldn't go so far as to call those people sheep, but I find that I pretty strongly agree with the sentiment. At least half the people who voted are voting with their emotions rather than their heads. If paying $60 for a box with Gran Turismo on it gives them value, then so be it. But I think the sensible response, even from the most die-hard of die-hard fans of the game should be "I'm still really excited for it, but I'm waiting for more information about the release and final game".

Being on board for GTS at this point is about as sensible as being on board for GT9.

P.S. You can't make an insult not insulting by claiming it isn't an insult. If you're going to say something, have the testicular fortitude not to hide behind qualifiers that are obviously false. I'm a worse person than you thought I was.

It is difficult not to buy a Gran Turismo game now, since there's not a single competitor on PS4.

I had enough of exagerated hot-laps-simulator, I'm not Lewis Hamilton as long as I'm not a ****in commando in real life. But I still love to play Metal Gear Solid without getting killed every single second.

So no, Pcars and Assetto corsa are not alternatives to Gran Turismo. Forza games are.

Not with the way GTS is being described. It's very, very similar to what pCARS and AC offer, so in that sense they're certainly alternatives to GTS.

On the other hand, GTS doesn't offer anything like what Forza Motorsport currently does, so I'd go as far as to say that Gran Turismo isn't an alternative to FM. Nothing is an alternative to FM currently, unless you want to count last gen games like GT6.

Actually the gameplay of GTS looks quite similar to GT6 rather than PCars/AC

Other than all three games being highly motorsports focused? I'm not talking about graphical style, I'm talking about the gameplay of what you actually do. All three games have a limited set of motorsports focused cars which you can't upgrade and drive around a limited number of tracks. Event entry is strongly limited to cars in the same class, which you can't change.

As far as differences, GTS looks to be leaning towards online and photos with the best graphics, pCARS gives a strong single player and dynamic time and weather, and AC will likely have the superior driving experience unless GTS pulls something magical out of the hat.

By comparison, FM and GT6 are more focused on road legal cars than motorsports. Upgrades and customisation is a big part of the game, and letting the player modify their car to compete at a variety of levels is too. In general, these games are more about providing the player with lots of different stuff that they can do with and to their cars and then letting them go wild, which is something that is kind of limited in GTS, pCARS and AC (unless you're on PC). To this end, both FM6 and GT6 also provide much, much, much more content than GTS/pCARS/AC.

If you think they're similar, sure. But you'll have to explain why, because there are some pretty significant differences.

I was meaning in terms of realism and simulation. GTS looks more a hybrid like GT6 and Forza than a rare simulation like PC and AC

I thought that you retired from sim racing a while ago. But I guess you're still here and still enjoy following me around? By the way, I did not bring you into this, you did.
 
I voted yes, if that bothers anyone, go out and earn my money for me then you can question how I spend it. 👍

Doesn't bother me. Does it bother you that other people judge you for giving away your money on pre-orders?

@GTP_CargoRatt posted here first, I think you may have had it the other way around. Your first post in this thread started all this. I thought you quit GTP long time ago and goes to another forum that now also pissed that you left them out cold without saying anything ( so I have been told/shown )

Really? You're calling out someone on GTP for rumours you've heard about what they did on some other forum? Really? Someone posted here first? Really?

Rumours ? Looks like you are out of the loop. I have confirmed it myself and I'm not the only one here who knows about it. FI always knew you will quote me, like usual, I won't entertain you anymore.

Cargoratt did post in this thread first, then Hami, now Hami called him following him around. What started people quoting Hami was his first post here.

You missed the point entirely. True or not is irrelevant. It's childish it is to bring up someone's postings on another forum over to GTP. "I'm not the only one who knows about it". You realize that's stalker talk right? You should really keep that stuff for PM's mate.
 
How so? Are you just talking about the physics, or the gameplay style? Because GT6 definitely wasn't about four groups of BOP'd cars racing together in series, online only.

I was talking about realism, physics and difficulty level. Of course all based about trailers and players impressions
