Congrats to PD, It's good that the Sony spokesperson said much more content is coming to GT, I can't wait. :D
 
Before I get flamed for this im not a troll or a forza fanboy or anything but why congratulate PD, They released a game that was only half finished and since then we have had patch after patch to get it on par with other games out there, There are games with better car lists as just one example.

Do they really deserve to be rewarded for releasing a half baked game that is still full of bugs and glitches after nearly a year of it going on sale, And lets not all forget this DLC shenanigans and the fact that its taking until December for it to get fixed !!!

Also feel sorry for the people with this game who don't have their PS3 connected to the internet for whatever reason the game they are stuck with since launch.
 
Your entitled to your opinion mate but I politely disagree.

Anyways congrats to PD on that award. No doubt Forza fans will get their chance next year, FM4 is also a decent game (appeasing all parties) :))

👎 Mamma always told me if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all :lol: but seriously man every game need internet it's the new gaming era, think about all the glitches with FM4 now with the steering issue and people not getting fully payouts because they drive to perfect? :odd: It seems to me you are just hating to keep it real.

What about people who have certain amounts of useage allowed pcm or whatever it might be.

I don't play forza 4 or even have an xbox for that matter so wouldn't have a clue about forza's problems, I am just pointing out the fact that everyone seems to think PD deserve to be congratulated and look around the forums there are plenty of threads about what PD has done wrong and how they wasted the best part of 5years etc.
 
Awwww....I voted for Ridge Racer 3d. :(

JK, great job for making a 2010 game a 2011 winner! Goes to show that PD is really advanced!
 
Congratulations, PD!

I think he makes a few good comments regarding GT5 sticking to the "heritage" of the series. Also the fact that so many real motorsport racers have taken to it.

If any other racer got the award I would have definitely be questioning the judging process of the "Golden Joystick Awards"!

And yet they still won anyways despite that. Odds were stacked because of what you mentioned about it being half baked (not really), but it was still good enough to win it anyway. Highly doubted that PD was the underdog anyway.

Anyways, congrats to PD and staff for their hard work paying off. Cheers to them. 👍
 
Well done to PD, especially as there country got hit by an earthquake earlier this year.

Yes, a small but very vocal group speaks for everyone.
 
congrats, but the real trick is to win the award in 2012 as well.

For that PD needs to release a huge dlc pack, so game reviewers consider it as a new game altogether and proceed to re-review it, including spec 2.0 update and upcoming bug fixes.
 
^If they do manage to do that, then hats off to PD.

All the while Kaz should send an email to Greenawalt that has "U MAD, BRO?" on it.

It's your opinion so i'm not go to flame you. :D

PD is not a big company like EA. So, i may think it's one of the reason that they didn't get to fixed the glitch early. Plus, who's going to do GT6, not to mention other upcoming DLC. It may look few but man work needed are probably not enough for PD if they want to release it early. If i'm not mistaken, they have only two studios...

Still, i don't find any racing game or games that doesn't have any glitches in it and now it's internet ages. The majority people that own PS3 have internet so, should PD looks more to the small portion of people and release the game 5 years later than opt to release the game early and patch it month by month?

I don't think so....like i said above, even if it's a complete game, glitches will still be there.
Plus, someone might be on super saiya mode and i could be one of them. :p

On the other hand, PD eventually won that. The other competitor are basicly all racing car game and somewhat arcade.

SHFT2: Yes, they do have normal cars too but the majority cars are all supercars compare to GT5, as you know it have tones of different cars even if it's standard.

DIRT 3: Just a rally game. Arcade. Again. But seriously, i don't have any grudge on arcade game. I play the NFS, F1 2010 and DIRT myself. 👍

F1 2010: Another racing game but it's more fully focus on racing cars so...

GT5: Combining all of it + more admirable graphics and gameplay and not an arcade game.


So all and all, the only real competitor for this is only SHIFT 2. I'm not saying the other are bad games, i've play all of it and it's all the best, each game on it's own style but PD really deserve this. And about the upcoming Forza 4. I've to admit, the graphic looks delicious than GT5 but again, that game consist more supercars than some other 'unknown' cars. I expect PD won again next year unless F1 2012, SHIFT 3 or The Run, or DIRT 4 makes a huge improvement. :)

Just my thought. Sorry if this offence somebody.
 
congrats PD:cheers: we have something now that forza will probably never get A GOLDEN YOUSTICK AWARD!!!

Probably next year >>> http://www.onlineracedriver.com/2011/06/28/forza-motorsport-4-game-critics-award-for-best-racing-game-at-e3/

You must be kidding... EA is not a developer its a publisher like Sony and I think Sony is a bit bigger than EA, dont you? now if you compare PD to criterium or SMS Im also sure that PD is much bigger...

Eh? I think EA are both publisher and developers.
NFS release under them. So,does Battlefield and C&C franchise.
I can't be so sure though, here some info. ( You can see how much studios they have)

Though, i think EA are very much more successfull than Sony/PD. Just look at the games release, each year. So, i think, more money means more great update and game release.

NFS needs a simulation game to challenge Forza and GT. I love their graphic and gameplay. If they be like or almost GT, i can be sure it can be a challenge for GT.

I can only speak about the racing games EA published - Shift was developed by SMS and Hot pursuit 3 was developed by Criterium just like Burnout and the Run by black box... dont know if they develop other kind of games but I would bet not... just like Sony just publishes... and I dont think they are more succesfull... GT5 alone sold more than Shift and Hot pursuit together (and Hot pursuit sold almost 4 million PS3/Xbox/PC games)
 
Im drunk so I havent read the whole thread, was GT5 up against Forza 4 or F1 2011 ?

I have only played GT5 but other than those 2 what other games are classed as competition.

II Forza 4 wasnt included in the judging its a hollow award. Its like calling Fight Night best boxing game with no real competition.

Okay, i see...

Man, i'm so out of date about the detail. :ouch:
Seems like EA no longer involve in racing game (except for The Run, now that i started to do some research.)
Well, i can assume that have only 2 studios but win the award. I've to give them some credits though.
