Does Gran Turismo have the Social Aspect that NfS has?

If it does, it may really, truly be the ultimate racer.

I AM going to get it, Thanks to my new "Trying Games Outside my Comfort Zone" philosophy --BUT-- I have classically, typically ALWAYS preferred Arcade over Realistic racing!

Hi Hamster! Thank you for introducing me to the original Pac-Man Championship Edition!

DX is *in my best Homer voice* FUCK-ING AWE-SOME ! ! !

I wish I could play it with you...  

Maybe someday?  

You're welcome, Leo.

Someday perhaps.

No. I really am!

You haven't said anything about it.

^ Better?

*Ahem!*

Sonic returns to truly classical form in Sonic Colors. Never before, in such grand style, has Sonic Team been able to fuse a 3D Sonic with tried and true 16-bit game mechanics. The sense of speed is back. That magical flow of grabbing rings, running, jumping, springing and bouncing from enemy to enemy, while zipping at break-neck speeds through colorful level after colorful level is ALSO back! What's even better, the original emphasis on Secret Areas and seemingly unreachable shortcuts ALSO make a reappearance here! The discovery of these areas is facilitated by the almost-Mario-esque power-ups provided by the differently hued Wisps found in each zone that add a new twist to gameplay but never get in the way of the Sonic action you all know and love! Much like you did when you were a kid, you'll find yourself playing the levels again and again, not ONLY to uncover every last inch of each amusement-park-like zone, but to also maximize your score and ranking. After all, you can't spell "S"onic Fan without all those S's! The plot may be minimal, the voice may be a bit different, but none of that matters! Forget 4... THIS is the Sonic you've been waiting for!

I'm just shocked that it's over 10 hours long.

I'll try to get it as well, but later though, like early next year with a price drop. It's been awhile since I played a Sonic game...a good one!

Awesome, I can just copy paste that for my review now.

One thing didn't seem right though, the sense of speed has never gone, in fact its gotten faster and faster to the point that its been one of the major complaints about the 3D games.

Some guy translated Inafune's latest blog or tweet after he resigned.

It's kind of deep:

From GAF said:

Caged Bird by Keiji Inafune


               Do birds born into captivity yearn for the sky?

               The cage is the only world they know


               They live out their lives staring at the same wall

               eating the same amount of feed

               at the same time everyday


               I don't think anyone would call that happiness


               No so-called "creator" can manifest his powers from inside a bird cage


               In order to prove that

               I shall break out of my cage and soar to the vast sky above

               Only then will I become a true creator


               I won't be tied down by others

               I won't be anyone's pet


               That's the kinda creator I'll be

               And I hope others will see me

               a bird flying free

               and think


               "I sure would like to soar like that"


               Wouldn't it be wonderful to become someone others aspire to be?


               It's time...

               To stretch my wings

It is point to point racing, not track based. You DO NOT drive around a huge, open city looking for races like you do in BurnOut Paradise, though. You pick an Area from a Map Screen, choose a Race Type within that area and go!

Sounds *okay* I guess.  I prefer tracks though.

There are other racing games out? Whats the point, the one game to rule them all comes out in a few days.

Was it made in Mount Doom?

LOL that guy has no clue.

Tell me this uses IR.
