Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 was a NOT-needed product. I agree it was better experience compared to GT5, Polyphony got their priorities horribly wrong. 

 

Gran Truismo 6 should have been PS4 title with launch at Fall of 2014.

 

With Drive Club flopping, now we gotta wait for 2 more years to have a decent racer.

 

In your opinion perhaps. It's tradition, 2 GT titles per console.  In my opinion PD's main screw up with GT6 was releasing it too late. It should never of been released just in time for the PS4 (it should've been released at least a year prior) that mistake alone is what gave rise to people assuming it should've been on PS4 and getting disappointed it wasn't. GT has never been a launch title anyway and they always take their sweet time, so getting all upset that it wasn't a release title is moot. GT7 will come and it'll be good I'm sure of it, however, I'm a little concerned the GT4 (PS2 era) standard cars will be coming back. They did a good job cleaning a lot of them up in GT6 but they still look out of place next to the premiums and the hundreds of duplicate cars that PD use to artificially bump up the car count need to go. It frustrates me to no end scrolling through pages and pages of identical MX5s or Skylines or whatever to get to the cars I want. Then there are the duplicates of premium cars! e.g. if I have a premium Skyline R34, why do I need an identical standard one!? fix those problems alone and GT7 will be much better than GT6.

 

 

 

Forza 5 and FH2 made my choice for the next console.  Got the XBOne instead of the PS4, even if I own a PS3.

 

As of right now, nothing on the PS4 come close to Forza 5 or FH2.

 

 

Forza Horizon 2 is what got me to grab a X1, the game is stunning and an absolute joy to play. Forza 5? not so much. Graphically the game is amazing but it's lacking so much in other areas. It feels more like a tech demo to show off the X1 than an actual Forza game. GT6 blows the doors off Forza 5 in that regard in my humble opinion (I own both of them). Forza 4 is still the best Forza proper game, I'm hoping Forza 6 will be a return to form because 5 was so lackluster... 

My biggest problem with Forza 5 was the fact that you had to do many microtransaction to be able to gain new cars and stuff.  It made the game cost like twice as much.

 

I have GT6 also, but I feel the graphics of F5 are better and I prefer the game style.

Well they fixed that shortly after release after fans complained about to much grind.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
    • These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
