It is hard to tell as new features will be major thing in reviews and the full list of those is not yet public. If there are no major new features to game and most of cars are just upscaled GT4 cars, scores will going to be hit.
 
Just wait until the game comes out and we will know, I personally never by a game off the back of a review, you have to try it yourself.

I dont know how many times ive read a film critics review of a movie saying its a waste of time and crap, then seen the film and loved it. Its all down to personal opinion even with the reviewer, you'd be hard pushed to find an unbiased review anywhere these days.
 
-1 For being a PS3 exclusive and another -1 for idiot reviewers who think forza physics are realistic.

So iam expecting 8/10 reviews.

Wow. Do you really not understand what you yourself wrote?

Here are the choices you presented:

Yes, because of the lack of cockpits in the majority of cars - Positive
Yes, because of the low amount of tracks - Positive
Yes, because of bugs in crashes etc. - Positive
Other - ???
No, it will get perfect scores - Negative
I don't care about reviews, I just want to play the game - ???

That is only 1 negative response to the question. 'Other' could be a yes or a no, and the last one does not mean a thing in relation to the question. That poll will by design give a positive slant to the results.
 
GT5 will come with lot of features, probably more than its single biggest competition, Forza, has. Thus, I kinda believe it all depends on the graphics section, because I don't think most reviewers could acually give a very accurate assessment on GT5's physics and wouldn't apprecate them as much as devoted console sim racers will.

That's why I'd say GT5's score is absolutely dependend on what part of the graphics the reviewer in question will focus on. Whether they're like "It's got 200 most brilliant cars and another 800 as a bonus" (which is how I think about the whole affair) or "800 of GT's 1000 cars look pretty bad and it tries to compensate for it with the few good ones". I'd expect IGN and especially Edge to be in the second camp, though. If there's enough reviewers who think otherwise, a 90+ score on metacritic would be easily feasible.

I couldn't possibly care any less about what some critics say, though.
 
Sorry, but all three of the negative points suggested in this poll are flawed.

This is nothing but an unconfirmed rumour.

Yes, because of the low amount of tracks

What are you talking about? This game has over 70 tracks, that's far and away the most featured in any Gran Turismo game yet.

Yes, because of bugs in crashes

What "bugs?" Don't tell me you consider the fact that this game doesn't do the Burnout-style crushed tin can effect a "bug?"

Its not a rumour, every reliable source says the same even kaz in his honda interview.

The game doesnt have 70 tracks, at most 40 if one source is too be believed.
 
Yes, because reviewers always focus on the negatives. The delayed release and the lack of cockpit view for all cars means it'll get a review in the 85-90 region. Considering Forza 3 got 92, Dirt 2 got 87 and NFS Shift got 83, that's not good.

Lack of damage, delayed release, lack of online gameplay are all among reasons given for <60% scores. Many reviewers never focus on the positive. I bet some don't even play the game, they just look at it's feature list and a few screenshots.

The main question was if reviewers will give the gt5 low scores. The "yes" answers are negative points of the game.

GT4 had 38 locations, if I remember right, and 58 variations. This should be plenty for us. After all, the head of SCEE said we'd get 40 locations with 100 variations. Something is going to be milked, as Forza 3 did, but I'll be fine with that.

It will be interesting to see if the reviewers are wowed by the Premium cars and give a passing grade, so that the major sources give GT5 a score in the 90s. That should mean a game we'll love regardless of the 800 Standard cars issue.

I don't know about you guys, but I know I will.

And nassau, I don't know if english isn't your primary language, but the first three "yes"s are to the question "Will GT5 get LOW scores?" (woops, tree'd by cobra) :p
 
I don't care about reviews, I will buy this game even if they rate it lower than Forza...
But I am sure that the premium and standard thing (and cockpit view) will affect the scores.
 
AAA titles are generally called that for the budget used to create them and not so much popularity/goodness of the game.

First review in. 7/10 Doesn't look good for GT5
Click to expand...

Jeuxvideo.com sucks.
A few years ago I was used to checking marks on this website before purchasing a game, that was a mistake, they prefer arcade games such as Need For Speed and are 'pro-Microsoft'.

They gave 7/10 because the gameplay is kinda hard and 'not for all', just for GT players, that's to say the writter would have prefered an easier gameplay in order to be playable for everyone (just like NFS).

Graphically GT5 has less than GT5p, is that normal ? I don't think so...
 
I don't care what big media says about GT5- WE (as gamers) are the best reviewers. Why listen/read big media reviews when the ultimate reviewers are us? A Triple-A game has to be a title that meets or exceed expectations and is a top-flight game. To ask if GT5 is going to be a AAA title, but then ask if GT5 will get low scores... that's a tad unusual to me. I voted "I don't care about reviews, I just want to play the game" because I've grown to a point where I couldn't give two (you know whats) about what a big-time reviewer thinks. The only exception (and I think you all will agree)... Classic Game Room HD.

The only review I care about is my own because we, the consumers, ultimately are the ones having to choose between getting something or keeping it on the shelf. Use the reviewers for insight on the game, but trust yourself for a review.
 
We are talking about a niche within in a niche. I don't think GT5 will see big sales numbers for a long time, at least not in the US. As far as reviews, I'm sure it will get positive reviews, but the game simply doesn't appeal to the masses the way FPS games do. Japan might be a different story as the automotive culture there seems to be a tad more "hardcore."

I hope it does well, as they reallllyyy need to get a return on their investment so they can start working on GT6!
 
It would have got 85-90 if all the cars are premium and with a proper damage system. My prediction is between 80-85 on average which is the lowest for GT franchise.
 
&#921; voted "It will get perfect scores" (aka >90) but closely followed by the "I don't care" option as my favorite Gran Turismo, the GT4, is the lowest of them all.
 
It should be a AAA title, time will tell.

I do think it will get some lower scores than normal though. I picked the lack of cockpit view but I think the low scores will have more to do with the look of the standard cars/time of development/much too high expectations and reviewers who may not even enjoy a sim racer. I not only love GT but I'm a big time videogame player so I play all sorts of games from every genre and it pains me to see games I've really enjoyed being reviewed by people who openly admit to not enjoying the genre they are reviewing. I guess it's good sometimes to have someone review a game who may not be a fan but sometimes these kinds of reviews can give a much worse impression of a game than what is warranted. I don't know. It will definitly be interesting to watch this all pan out!
 
It already is a AAA title. AAA is basically the status of a game, regardless of how bad a sequel may end up being, the franchise is still AAA.

Even if this game gets a lot of 7's and 8's, it will still be a AAA game. Modern Warfare 2 was pretty lame, but it's still a huge AAA franchise.
 
What you guys said. But 1,2,3... if the sequels do not improve, or worse deteriorate, that franchise will go from AAA to A..A..Ashes.
