A casual wouldn't have a few thousand posts on a message board dedicated to the game, now would they?
My point still stands,
especially considering all the folks rushing to defend PD's choice to recycle PS2 assets with the rebuttal that we (logically) couldn't expect the entire GT4 car list converted to Premium status for GT5.
I'd rather afford both games the same measuring stick; I find recycling last-gen assets disappointing, and a knock to the level of consistency in a game. PD chose it as opposed to the path they took with GT3; Forza mimicked that game's choice instead. Same goes with the tracks; I can certainly understand folks being disappointed with the lower number, but I'd much rather the laser-scanned goodness we've seen so far than rehashes from ages ago.
What I find so surprising is some people using two entirely different methods to judge games. A good move for one game's development should be a good move for another's.
