I see a trend. No reason to think the full GT5 won't do the same. I love racing games, and have quite a collection of games and racing interfaces for ALL the systems. I can surely say that despite GT5P's meager content, it ran away (no pun intended) with the easy victory. Nothing (even on my PC) "FEELS" like i'm driving more that than Polyphony Digital's masterful programming. It's the racing that counts NOT the crashing. I'll be in line picking up my copy on day one (same for the PSP version). As far as visuals go...GRID is very tiring on my eyes...way too blurrry!! Control is a mess too. Nothing realistic about it, but still fun!! Lets see…GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5P all set new standards for console racing. I see a trend. No reason to think the full GT5 won’t do the same.

Casual gamers (or non-gamers) who like racing pick up Gran Turismo, becuase they hear about it when watching something racing related. That's how I saw it. The perception outside of the gamers is whats important for lots of sales. Why does Gears of War sell? Becuase it's advertised everywhere, otuside of gamign sites, including TV and other sites. At least thats what I reckoned. Racing fans are gaming casuals.

If the racing crowd are important, why do the hardcore racing games sell so little? You're after the gamers / casuals if you want ludicrous sales... and that's always been the key to GT's success.

Not in terms of sales they don't. Which is why hardcore PC racing sims sell in the 10s of thousands vs Gran Turismo which sells in the multi millions. “It’s the racing crowd that matters.”

Maybe it's not the definitive experience in terms of the simulation, but it's an institution. And horn tooting at E3, (clearly when this video was) that either GT or Forza are the definitive games, is worthless. Becuase that's the gaming crowd. It's the racing crowd that matters.

Remember that GT5 will be very different from GT5P. Whenever I play GRID round my mates house I keep thinking I have to go to the eye doctor to have them checked out.
