If Resident evil movies didn't damaged the brand for sure this one won't hurt GT brand lolQuestion: how much damage do you think was done to the brand?

No one will buy more/less Nissans. Or PS5's. Or GT games. At least not because of the movie. So zero. Dare I say it's perhaps a net positive?Question: how much damage do you think was done to the brand?
Nobody outside of a small group of hardcore pedantics cares about those details. I also suspect most casual enthusiasts won't even notice unless told. In the end it's just backdrop for the action and story. I think it worked well.Obviously we all wanted to shoot at Le Mans but weren't given permission or the time. The issue with shooting racing movies is getting time on track. Hungaroring was the only circuit that was bookable for three months. Also, if you knew how much it cost to rent Nurburgring for just two days, you'd be amazed the movie was even made. Unfortunately, there are some limitations you cannot get around.
Last point: The head of CGI for the film is a massive Le Mans fan. He's camped trackside at the race for over a decade and makes a point of taking his staff to the race each year. Not sure you'd find a better person to make do with Buda-Le-Mans than him.
Michel Vaillant was literally filmed at Le Mans, on the track, during the 24 hours and it STILL doesn't look that convincing. If you watch racing regularly pretty much no dramatised version is going to look believable for one reason or another even with 3 times the budget and massive quantities of background CG. If you can't suspend your disbelief enough to accept the background is representative of the real world location even if it isn't accurate to it, you must have a really bad time at the cinema.Hearing that they are trying to pretend that the Hungaroring is LeMans, in the same way the Rush movie tried to fob us off that they didn't just film 90% of the track action at Brands Hatch and went around the world.
We're not stupid...treat us with some respect.
If this movie appeals to kids, I fully expect sim-racing in general getting a significant uptick.No one will buy more/less Nissans. Or PS5's. Or GT games. At least not because of the movie. So zero. Dare I say it's perhaps a net positive?
How? My ears burst into flame after two sentences.I just watched this review
Please me tell me if I'm wrong but she is claiming that Jann never won a race and that he has never raced at Le Mans. I told her that these are untrue. If I'm wrong, I'll go correct it as soon as possible.How? My ears burst into flame after two sentences.
In the entire history of bad videogame movies, some worse than this ever possibly could have been, the only one that anyone ever claimed caused legitimate harm to an IP was the second Tomb Raider film.Question: how much damage do you think was done to the brand?
I have no idea what she said as she's unlistenable, but Jann has both won a race (British GT 2012, GP3 2014, several races in the Toyota Racing Series in 2014, several races in Japanese F3 in 2016, and a class win in Super GT) and raced at Le Mans (twice - 2013, 2015) including in the top LMP1H category (2015).Please me tell me if I'm wrong but she is claiming that Jann never won a race and that he has never raced at Le Mans.

She also had a screenshot put up for several minutes which had a headline regarding a win at Hockenheim ring. I don't even follow Jann's career and somehow knew she was wrong.I have no idea what she said as she's unlistenable, but Jann has both won a race (British GT 2012, GP3 2014, several races in the Toyota Racing Series in 2014, several races in Japanese F3 in 2016, and a class win in Super GT) and raced at Le Mans (twice - 2013, 2015) including in the top LMP1H category (2015).
If she said he hasn't done those things, she's wrong.
OK, so she loves it. At least it'll make correcting her easier.She also had a screenshot put up for several minutes which had a headline regarding a win at Hockenheim ring. I don't even follow Jann's career and somehow knew she was wrong.
The review itself isn't bad. She seems to love the movie and is fascinated by sim-racing.
I just looked at the first four Resi movies with Milla Jovovich starring. They have Rotten Tomatoes scores of 19%, 24%, 21%, 28%.If Resident evil movies didn't damaged the brand for sure this one won't hurt GT brand lol
Le Mans is arguably the best ever motor racing movie, for enthusiasts at least. That's because it was basically shot like a documentary with very little story. At the time it was roundly panned by critics and was a commercial flop.Michel Vaillant was literally filmed at Le Mans, on the track, during the 24 hours and it STILL doesn't look that convincing.

Bruh, it's YouTube, if someone's chatting crap, smash the dislike and don't give 'em any more watch time... don't try and interact with it!... 500 hours of content per minute get uploaded, if it's of poor quality just quickly move on!I tried to correct her in the comments but maybe I'm going crazy.
I meant I felt like maybe I was wrong about what I know of Jann's career. I can assure you that I wasn't in a huff about it. But it's always nice to correct people who are wrong.Bruh, it's YouTube, if someone's chatting crap, smash the dislike and don't give 'em any more watch time... don't try and interact with it!... 500 hours of content per minute get uploaded, if it's of poor quality just quickly move on!
My son, not particularly into racing before, bought GT7 for his PS5 after watching the movie. (yeah, sample size of 1, not representative, I know )If this movie appeals to kids, I fully expect sim-racing in general getting a significant uptick.
Kinda surprising considering the amount of stinkers that were made (Double Dragon springs to mind, although that Franchise struggled to keep a consistent identity beyond the name just in the games themselves so I can't say ANY outside media damaged an IP that was already questionable at best).In the entire history of bad videogame movies, some worse than this ever possibly could have been, the only one that anyone ever claimed caused legitimate harm to an IP was the second Tomb Raider film.
I have no problem with them doing this. I don’t think you understand the cost and logistics involved and how budgeting time and costs against expected RTI works with on location shooting and how much actually visiting each location for real would cost in time, money and resources.Hearing that they are trying to pretend that the Hungaroring is LeMans, in the same way the Rush movie tried to fob us off that they didn't just film 90% of the track action at Brands Hatch and went around the world.

Paramount and Eidos spent the fallout from Cradle of Life publicly pointing fingers at each other as being the reason for the film failing and the damage done to the franchise. Eidos certainly wasn't blameless by any means, but the combined failure of both iced the franchise entirely while Eidos spent a year or so trying to figure out what to do with it from there.Kinda surprising considering the amount of stinkers that were made (Double Dragon springs to mind, although that Franchise struggled to keep a consistent identity beyond the name just in the games themselves so I can't say ANY outside media damaged an IP that was already questionable at best).
I just watched this review and is it just me or is she wrong about so many things? I tried to correct her in the comments but maybe I'm going crazy.
Talladega Nights is a damn funny sports movie. Major League is one of my favourite baseball movies so I don't think there is anything wrong with it.My favorite sports movie is Talladega Nights, so take that as you may.
Thank god for subtitlesHow? My ears burst into flame after two sentences.
We didn’t have unlimited stock of Nismos, so we had to be careful about which one landed up in the wall, it wasn’t for any intentional reason except for limitations of hardware.Why in the Academy did Jann drive a standard GTR and the other drivers had a Nismo GTR?
I don't know why but Jann using a standard GTR while the others used Nismo kinda annoys me. I mean I get it that it's limitations thing...I saw the film last night and it was better than I expected it to be.
The Le Mans not being at La Sarthe was a bit of a let down but 'it's only a film'.
Some strange things though...
The brakes were glazed in car No. 2 but he crashed car No. 3 🤷🏻♂️

Is that to replicate how we get better Ai races in game having a lower powered car?

I never listen or watch her stuff since she's quite annoying and... weird.Please me tell me if I'm wrong but she is claiming that Jann never won a race and that he has never raced at Le Mans. I told her that these are untrue. If I'm wrong, I'll go correct it as soon as possible.
