Ever since GT5 they've failed to communicate properly with consumers and released overall mediocre games, before GT5 all they're games were amazing in my opinion so, it rounds out to a meh for me.

Created the whole CARPG genre (collect cars level up collect more), plus they did have influence in the auto industry, created arguably the best selling Playstation franchise and some of the best games ever released on consoles...... They did release GT5 so that doesn't grant them the sub.

Also they are the hush hush developer type which in this day and age isn't welcomed.

Plus points: Created a best selling franchise, got so many people into/more knowledgeable of cars, gained recognition from actual car companies and don't just churn stuff out for the sake of making a quick buck.

Negatives: Ridiculous work ethics (living in your office for most of your year ain't great, let's be honest), vague communication with fans and stuck a bit in the 90s in terms of how they work (secrecy, going from the producer's single idea rather than seeing what others are doing, not outsourcing for efficiency, etc.)

Just meh overall.

Meh. Not my favorite game developer, but I don't hate them. I like GT6, but I thought GT5 was terrible.

 

[kennylmao]

lol at all these "game developer/video game = omg uncool".

Peer pressure or something?

 

[noshog]

Yeah I don't understand all this games=uncool, race cars=uncool rubbish. My friends and I have watched racing then sat down for our own Gran Turismo battles for many years. There is no way I think me or my friends have lived an uncool life....so at least a cool from me.

It has to be a meh from me. The studio was born out of a team headhunted by the first party (Sony), had millions thrown at them, and has the temerity to pretend they're a small studio with delays and sub-standard products, obscene working practices, and DLC release schedules to rival EA and Turn 10. Sorry guys, pull the other one.
