Ja, that’s fair enough.

It’s odd, but he DID play them. Neither of those games stack up to Gran Turismo as far as I’m concerned, so it’s not an impossible opinion.

It’s like an author saying he doesn’t read. You can’t exist in a vacuum if you’re a creative, surely?

This reminds me of Miyamoto’s “I don’t play other’s platformers” comment shortly after Mario Galaxy came out.

I think both would benefit from less tunnel vision.

At least GT doesn’t have a shitty underwater camera to contend with.

That and swimming in gold, obviously.

Presumably he’s spending so much time grinding cash to afford the cars in GT5P that he doesn’t have enough time to properly appraise the competition.

He might’ve only been looking at the sales figures.

Shame. If he took more notice of other racers Gran Turismo wouldn’t be several generations behind in terms of gameplay features.
