KNOCK IT OFF THA BOTH OF YAZZ!!! lol
IMO PC is better for some games while console is better for others.
PC will always dominate the FPS, RTS, emulator and RPG markets while consoles are better for sports, side scrolling, fighting, racing and other action games where you roam on a map (like MGS).
Consoles are also more fun at parties and group gatherings because you can sit back on the couch and 1 PS3 can allow 7 people to play (depending on the game). Consoles are also more reliable since you just pop in the game and away it goes.
Back to the topic at hand...... THIS TRACK LIST IS DISAPPOINT!!!
I think you totally missed the conversation of the topic here. I was saying how i was disapointed with the track list and that i didnt think the game with the available track content was worth the price of buying the game + console, putting the game at about £300 in price, especially when so many of the main rival games on the pc had all the big name tracks (spa, silverstone etc) available.
Then we went into the discussion about the PS3 being worth more than just for Gran turismo, and i stated that i did not have any interest in the other games personally as i generally play on the PC, due to the titles available based on my tastes.
Also to say consoles are better for racing games is completely off, as the PC has most of the good console titles available, aswell as a bunch of games that are exclusive to the pc. consoles own their markets, and thats fine but it doesnt generally appeal to me these days.
On the consoles outside of GT5/Forza theres not much on choice for a simulation racing fan, where as the pc has a bigger variety of high quality simulation based games, aswell as the popular bunch (codemasters, NFS etc) of more casual based games you would find on a console.
The only real racing game advantage of the PS3 is GT5, which i have no doubt will be fantastic, but is it fantastic enough to spent £300 on. £300 in Iracing can buy you a lot of content, more tracks and a physics model that is constantly being improved, a better competitive online experience with the ratings system keeping racing clean.
Gran turismo will be great, single player will be second to none, but with 20 tracks, less than the last game, its hard to justify the price of buying a PS3 just to play it, which is the situation i and my others find ourselves in. Many of us would never consider buying the console if it wasnt for GT5, so other games being available for it is not something that matters. GT5 needs to be good enough for me to say "ok i am going to spend £300 so i can play it".
So its easy to see why i am disapointed with the tracklist, i assumed we would get all of the old tracks + the new ones, i took that for granted and i have been left wanting.
