Event, that's because no one gives a flying crap about GT4 until it's released. But then, answer yourself this. Why does HALO 2, Doom 3, MGS3: Snake Eater and stuff get mentioned a lot? I'm going to mention this in a future topic, but for now, Gran Turismo 4 will most likely be Best Racing Game of 2004. And as a GT fan and veteran of GT4, and a member of the massive GTPlanet family, if Gran Turismo 4 doesn't become best racing game of the year, I'll be damned.
Maybe sometimes being a "fanboy" can help. For people to say this is one of the best games of the year is if GT4 takes one field and do it professionally and make it fun for everyone, it will no doubt be racing game of the year, but I'll also be damned if Gran Turismo 4 won't at least be in the Top Ten for games of the year. I mean, first-person games and multiplayer frag fests are overrated nowadays. It's time for a change. In fact, I predict that when it comes to best 2004 games for PS2 and of the year... (this is only a prediction. Don't take it for fact):
PS2 Game of the Year Rating: 4th out of 10
" Racing Game of the Year: 1st or 2nd out of 10
Game of the year: 6th-8th out of ten
Racing " " " ": 2nd or 3rd of 10
I made those predictions based on how pro reviewers and gamer predictions go. So if they sound unfair, that's why. The next predictions will be on how the public may perceive GT4:
PS2 Game of the Year: 2nd or 3rd out of 10
" Racing Game of the Year: 1st out of 10
Game of the Year: 2nd or 3rd of 10
Racing " " " " 1st or 2nd out of 10
There you have it. From Houston, Texas to you.
