Racing games are starting to get on my nerves, I have rarely got annoyed when typing in the forums, but this is a topic with hatred inside, I waffled yes, but I want to waffle, OK!
GT3??? I really dislike this game, its all been done before... ohhh look at the realism! Who cares? I don't give a monkeys if the car looks good or doesn't, the fact of the matter is that its just the same GT2 engine with a faster console and more cars...
..its these kind of games that ruin the market, nothing original, nothing new, they just knew that giving more realism and a better screen resolution would sell more copies, sad thing is, the people who brought the game are going to go along with the hype and cred the game till GT4 is released.
All the people that have brought this game, hold your horses, yes you will comment it on being the best racer ever, but how is it any different it terms of what the predecessor did? It may be nicer to look at, but then again I am sure more people would prefer watching the Baywatch intro sceen then watching the GT3 intro shots.
Racing games? Crappy Games is a better name, don't get me wrong, I used to love them, the multiplayer racer is near unbeatable to anything else, but then again once a racer has been released that beats all the others, a racer in the future can only improve on small factors (eg cars).
Its going to disgust me when I hear on the people on here talk about how good the game is and how long it has last them??
*cough cough** 'Didn't you say the same thing about the last one? **cough cough**
Once a racer always a racer. Yes, we have had MSR, GT, TOCA, Rally etc... and even the Crazy Taxi car games, the only thing that is left is Train Drivi....ahh.. I see, that has also been done...
Well then shoot me in the foot and tie my head to the clutch, I have found that racing games are only ever going to continue to get better in the form of visuals/internet and multiplayer modes. The oneplayer option has been covered more than the male eyes on Jordans body.
People stop being stupid, the game is the same as it was before, just this time it has ten new cars or something? Last time didn't you have a car which you loved, are you just being gullable.
Shall I tell you the last remaining way to enjoy yourself with a car?? Yes? Well then, put some suspenders on, attach yourself to a fastcar at a set of traffic lights with the suspenders, and watch yourself fly forwards, then backwards towards your impending doom.
Racing Games? HA! They are all the same.

As a followup: I think it's failing to be what it promsed because developers are scared by the hardware. They are working on tight schedules so I think they are releasing classics just to keep the bank balance ticking over whilst they get to grips with it. Soon the developers will have the courage to try something new and revolutionary, but until then we'll just have to endure the same old rope.

Which is a combination of Black, blue and purpley bits all brought together to look nice and expensive with the assistance of THAT little blue light. MMmmmmmmmmm!
I'd pay £400 for that light alone!

Tarrent, over a year in Japan, that is a long time for a consoles life, and the people there getting mighty feed up with average games. Seriously, I don't want to mock the PS2, as I have enjoyed games on it, but why is it that many professionals are getting annoyed with Sony's (simply put) stupidness.
There are rather relying on the Playstations success to ride the PS2 through everything they coe across.
