If it weren't for Kaz's vision, there perhaps would't be any racing games featuring anything less than your typical super-cars. He told Sony he could make a successful racing game using ordinary cars way back when and they only let him because his first game (Motor Toon) was a mild success. But Sony had no idea the Gran Turismo francise would become as big as it is.He is a gaming God in my book. Learn your history, man.
In other words, if it weren't for him, we'd possibly all still be playing the typical racing game from the mid-90s, in which the slowest car would have been a Corvette, and we'd be driving thru all kinds of nonsense (Mario Kart style) instead of seriously competing on just a simple track. No tuning, either.
Maybe. But the bottom line is Kaz got there first. He defied big bad Sony while they doubted his vision would make it past 1998. That's +Rep in my book.
I'm reading all these negative posts on this page and wondering what the heck I'm missing. Sure GT5 has flaws. But so does Forza. So does GT1. So does GT2, 3, and 4. So does ToCA.
I'm glad I'm not joining in the negativity. I for one, can't wait to get home today (at work now) and do some racing!

This is quite funny, considering that there has been a mass exodus since the early days of Forza 3 back to F2.
Lets not over react, games like GT would be made easily. Because the car scene is huge, and their is always people who want to make games with cars. Tuning is huge. It's not some sci-fi game that needs to be completely made up, cause yes, those might never be made by someone else. But cars are a pre-made thing that were not and will never be effected by gaming. Gaming is effected by the car scene. So the real vision is the automotive industry. As long as gear heads exist, so would an idea like this..He is a gaming God in my book. Learn your history, man.
