Game journalists from all ends of the blogosphere today expressed their disdain at brand new racing title Gran Turismo 5 being simply a videogame about driving cars, rather than the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as was initially predicted. Across Twitter many of the greatest gaming journos lamented that the most-anticipated racer of 2010 was in fact…just a racer.
Gran Turismo 5, which launches in the UK and US tomorrow, is already in the hands of many gaming writers across the world, who are toiling endlessly to ensure they have reviews of the game written up for 8am tomorrow morning, when the embargo of game coverage lifts.
However, this has not stopped some writers from voicing their personal opinions of the game on microblogging social site Twitter, with the majority of Tweets criticising every last minor fault with the game such as loading times and the lack of multiplayer due to the servers not actually being live.
One anonymous tipster went as far as to say that the game’s mere inclusion of just 1000 cars is not enough, nor is the positively life-sapping GT Mode, featuring countless races, driving challenges and in-depth car porn Photo Mode.
Frankly, our tipster has a point. Who are development team Polyphony Digital to deliver merely a racing game after four years which probably does a ridiculously good job of simulating driving your average gearhead’s fantasy garage while looking bedazzlingly pretty and consuming the life of anyone who dares to try out the GT Mode?
In the end, GT5 evidently hasn’t done enough to please the gaming writer elite. It should make us breakfast, dispense compliments on our choices of tie and come with several real cars to be good enough.
I mean, it’s not like we overhyped it or anything.
Gran Turismo 5 will be reviewed by Sarcastic Gamer by the end of the weekend.
