Just please wait till the game is out
I can't I'm buzzing (no I'm not a bee) and all this talk of reviews got me going. I'm looking foward to the 5th as I'm going to earls court motorshow so what I plan to do is look and hear me favourite cars then play on them on GT5 the next day or hopefully if my preorder comes early I will reverse that idea.

I haven't managed to find the new one, but here's the We Love Cars CM in full HD glory. I hope it's not already been posted:

If you're a GT fan, the game will be great because it has been built for you, and you'll neglect or discard minor issues, because you feel they are just that. Minor.
If you're a hater, you will search for those issues and point them out clearly.
Thep rofessional reviewer will do the same. Some while trying to remain professional and minimize their preferences, others not.
Point being, it will always be subjective opinion, and if you're a GT fan you shouldn't worry. PD will deliver to _your_ expectations (some more, others less...).
Reviews are for "other" games IMO. (edit: ) As far as GT is concerned, I just read them for laughs or to make sure an occasional bit of information doesn't get missed.

Usually, I just watch some cool video at Game Trailers and then, I choose to buy or not buy a given game, reviews are mostly useless to me.
Also, having tons of fan-made reviews would fall into the category of saying the very same things again and again, every review will praise the graphics, talk about the car selection, make a point about the Standard vs Premium issue, blah blah blah, so in the end, they wouldn't make much for the community, apart from cramming the boards with new threads.
I'm not against them, though. I just won't read or comment on any of them.

Hi, I'm new here so don't hate me
Although what you say is true Hornet, I still think the game is gonna get rave reviews. Even the most skeptical opinionated reviewer will have to much trouble goggling over all the eye candy and features, that minor flaws will be barely noticed. The game is going to blow all other console race games out of the water.
I've been playing Forza to hold me out but that died off when the GT official release date was finally announced. ( my PS3 won't play GT4 and GT5P is too dull and boring)

So what you're saying is, ignore the bad, no matter how big or small and focus on all the positives?
You sound like the perfect example of someone who shouldn't be allowed in the before mentioned REVIEW thread.
Throwing "fan" and "professional" around like you know what they actually mean when you clearly don't.

I don't think he's saying people should do that dave, I think he's just saying that people do base their view on a certain degree of bias and I'm inclined to agree.
You get reviewers professional or not who go into a game with a bias one way or another and if their bias is for that game/franchise then smaller bugs and errors are likely to be overlooked whereas if your bias is against that game/franchise they might be made into more than they are. I'm pretty sure that's all he was trying to say

No doubt the game will be great but whether an issue is minor or not is up to me to decide and whether it should be discarded or neglected purely because it's a GT-game sounds like a fanboy-argument pur sang.
And last time I checked I still didn't receive an e-mail from PD to take my requests for what I would like to see included in GT5 so it isn't build purely for me or anyone here.
I guess saying this might make me a hater within the logic you use, if so, then so be it.
Edit, Seems I read it the same as Dave whilst others haven't, if I misunderstood the point you tried to get across than I apologise.

If "BIG or SMALL" doesn't address the minor part then I don't know what to tell you.
I must've misunderstood cause it sounds like he said ignore the small stuff.
You can't do that if you want to be subjective. I understand giving it less weight in the overall picture but ignoring it doesn't sound very professional.

What do you mean, "it's not up to me" of course it is up to you. If an issue with the game is a minor or major issue can (and will) vary with personal opinion. For example: some saw reverse lights as a major issue, others saw it as a very minor issue, or not even as an issue at all. It IS up to you if a issue with the game is MINOR or MAJOR. He is STILL right though, those people that love the game will probably dismiss/not care about any issues that they deem minor. It's not a fanboy argument, it's simple logic and psychology.
THAT is what you said. It reads like you are saying HE said that you should ignore ALL the issues with the game when he said nothing of the sort. He said MINOR issues, and anyone that isn't eager to jump down the throat of a "fanboy" realizes that.

You're right, that IS what you said! I read it backwards (i.e. whether an issue is minor is not up to me) sorry about the confusion! 👍

I know what I said but you seem to have a problem understanding it. Unless you're telling me that "ignore the bad, no matter how big or small" isn't addressing small issues? You seem to have a knack for making a big deal out of things you misread.
Let me save you the time by mentioning the usual "pot calling the kettle black" and the usual hypocrisy doodahs before you throw it back at me.

Ok, lets use our analytic brain here.
So you're saying ignore the bad no matter how BIG OR SMALL.
Now, the problem isn't that it doesn't cover the small, the problem is because it INCLUDES the BIG.
Now in his post does he ever mention ANYTHING about issues that someone might consider BIG? No, he didn't. He even phrased it on a personal level and even wrote it out so that what people THINK are minor issues personally are the only ones that HIS post applies to.
Now back to YOUR post. Since we have established that his post only addresses issues that any individual person would consider minor (KEYWORD is MINOR) let's compare it to your post.
His post: MINOR issues.
Your post: BIG AND SMALL issues, AKA ALL issues.
Do you address the same thing he addresses?
NO, you don't. I understand it perfectly well, you are the one who seems to not understand what you wrote.

One review I'm aching to see is the one made by Classic Game Room HD. The thing probably won't be perfectly objective, but the guy did a 5/6 parts review for GT5P.
And I just love when he's lost and rambles about Cobra or the El Camino.
+1 although Mark or whatever the guy's name is is a true GT fan unlikely he will point out anything bad.

+2 I love his reviews, they're silly mostly and therefore original. Why am I looking forward to his review of GT5? Because he IS truly a GT fan, you can tell and he mentiones that his favourite video game series is GT from time to time also in other reviews.
Point is, his review is probabely the only one I am really interested in/will be entertained by.

To be brutally honest, I couldn't care less what some ignorant games journalist with no real interest in cars whatsoever has to say about Gran Turismo. Sure, like every game, there will be issues; issues which I can observe for myself and will have little to no bearing on my overall experience of the game.
