Ironman273 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hmm.. the series is trending down. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Well GT1 did well, and GT3 did too that's when PS2 was fresh and new pretty much, and GT5 will be for PS3 and I believe will do well or better than recent versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzoFX Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I sure hope its not a downward trend, i wonder if it might have to do with the accessibility of this game, hopefully that will be aided by the new racing modes that are a lot less "simulation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 GT1, GT2 = PS1 GT3, GT4 = PS2 It's quite obvious the second game Polyphony Digital releases on a console is always the best game. GT2>GT1, GT4>GT3, the difference in graphics between GT4 and GT3 is quite amazing, imagine what the difference will be this time around? :woot: This and Ratchet & Clank are definite must buys. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoL Veteran Posted September 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted September 26, 2007 What you're saying doesn't make sense. GT1 sold more than GT2 and GT3 sold more than GT4. No, he is saying that the second GT game on the PS1 (GT2) and PS2(GT4) its better than the first one (GT1 on PS1 and GT3 on PS2), not that they sold more. To me every GT game its getting better and better. I want GT5 Prologue but if they charge something like $20. :D If they charge like $40 Im just going to wait until GT5.

Yep, the second one has ALWAYS been better depending on how you looked at it (graphics, audio, etc), look at the difference in GT3 and GT4, the difference in graphics was like a whole new console. That's what I'm saying :D Japan gets a demo of the Prologue, early, then they get the Prologue which is the demo of GT5, which comes out later 08'... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
