*Warning I was bored at midnight when I typed this* - I usually don't give a fiddlestick when I see these.
I really was never aware such fanboys of this caliber existed. Watching his other videos, I can't imagine how a person can be like he is. He is in a state of mind where he's completely possessed. Nothing will change his mind. Obviously I've been missing much in the world of fanboyism.
Point 1 (GTPSP) - The Psp version is a bit fishy I think. I still get the feeling that Sony had a big part regarding the planning time for developing the game and for it to coincide with GT5's development. Because of this, whether or not the GTPSP's version is really Kaz's real vision of what he intended it to be when it was planned back in 2004, we may never know. I do agree with some critics out there that it could be better, not necessarily a full fledged GT game though, just better. Whatever the case, this affected GT5, whether it'd be a small factor or not. I feel bad for PD regarding this matter because we don't know what goes on behind close doors aboout Sony's pressure to PD.
Point 2 (Pussies?) - I think this is a matter between maturity of the two companies. Yes, business is a competition, but it's not based on a specific rivalry between two of its products, and it will never be. Turn 10 I think, is the origin of this rivalry that's getting really ridiculous between GT and FM. Really, Turn 10 has done nothing much on trying to cool down this silly war, nothing. What did they do besides their boasting? It may not be completely direct, but we should get the sense they're cocky.
This isn't the case with PD or Sony. There was never a battle between the two in their eyes. Like Turn 10, Kaz isn't completely direct with his response either, but we get more of the sense that they are less into this whole silly war more than Turn 10. I bet more than anything right now, Sony and PD is completely ignoring this little silly war, and instead they are trying to focus about their business as a whole...not between FM and GT.
Point 3 (2 for 1?) - I have to admit, guy sometimes knows his way around words. If M$ needs a professional lawyer for a fanboyism war, he'd be the best candidate, no joke. He's the best I've seen.
If you go by the numbers, it's safe to say that Turn 10 has indeed released two next-gen titles before 1 GT5 title. These type of thing is the holy grail for fanboys to use as a support. They'd use numbers and completely ignore the factors that go into it.
The only way to see this is to be honest, which the guy is short of in many of his points. First point is that Forza 2 technically doesn't count. Overall quality of the game is obvious and that it didn't use the full potential of the 360's hardware.
Remember the silly little war I was talking about that PD and Sony are probably ignoring? If PD wanted to, they could go with their original plan to release GTHD to compete with Forza 2. I don't know how much of you guys were around then (you should've been!) but GTHD was suppose to be a full fledge game before it got canceled for GT5 Prologue. Whatever the reason was, it got canceled. The point is though, PD could've released a quick game for this current gen to coincide with Forza 2 if they wanted to. Like FM2, GTHD probably wouldn't be the game to use the PS3's full (or close) potential either.
Then the guy says Forza 3 is out even before Gran Turismo 5. Looking at this fact looks pretty convincing, but really it's completely reasonable. Let's face it, Gran Turismo 5 may take longer but its scale and caliber compared to FM3 is twice, if not more. Just ask ourselves this. Forza has 400 cars and 100 tracks (not sure about the tracks??) and it spans over two discs. GT5 will have 950 and maybe 70 tracks. Imagine if Forza 3 had as much as GT5 in the same detail PD puts on them (3-4 discs maybe?) . That is only regarding the content from the cars and tracks. On other things, PD is currently focused on making real-time damage for its non-stock cars, not the programmed damage most games used up to this point (aka the easy route). Then they have whole license franchises to worry about for Nascar and WRC. How big these two will be in the game, we don't know yet, but they should have a factor in making the game longer to develop than if they weren't part of the game.
Then there are other minor factors to how GT5 can take this long that I don't want to get into too much, like starting coding from scratch, tourist trophy, complex of the ps3's structure, graphics, experiments with weather effects, GT5P project, marketing, GTPSP, etc....things Turn 10 didn't have to face, or are not even willing to.
Point 4, his best point (GT5 will be a AAA, but a failure?) - This guy knows that GT5 will be a great game but he makes that look bad by saying that it takes too long, and that Turn 10 is playing it smart to releasing the game fast to the consumer. Yes, this is a great point, but it would contradict to every point he's trying to make.
The main point he's trying to make is that Forza Motorsport 3 will be better than GT5, or is that not it? If GT5 does indeed to be a better game than Forza Motorsport 3, then would it make sense that its release is a bit longer?...and this is just a straight up answer, not putting any other factor into play. If it is then its win/win for both games. End of war, end of story.
