SEGA REFERENCE IN GRAN TURISMO 5 *SMOKE COMES OUT OF EARS*
This is great news for SEGA. If Sony has to pay $0.02 in royalties to SEGA for every copy of GT5 it sells, this could be SEGA’s most profitable game in over a decade. And it didn’t even have to lift a finger.
“I was just watching a video of GT5 that compares it to real life, mainly just so I could laugh at how it doesn’t look photorealistic at all (it doesn’t), and I noticed something a little odd. First I thought it was just that the sky was a little too blue, but then I noticed this. As you can see, this screenshot of GT5 has SEGA in it. I don’t know why. Game is likely to be a little bit less shit now” – Lewie.

whenever i play a sega racing game, it feels nice to be able to pretend that every non-automobile related company is named sega.
i like to imagine that they’re some kind of conglomerate that’s monopolized every industry, but then i wake up from my dream and see that in real life that company is named sony.

The 12KB of that Sega texture is the only good thing on the entire 25GB disc.
There seems to be something of an epic lie with GT5 where in-game footage totally fails to look anywhere near as good as the trailers or Forza 3. That’s probably why it’s been delayed again.

I’m going to buy it, then ! If there’s Sega in it, there’s a chance it’s as good as Sega GT.

The jaggies on that car are beyond a joke. Pull your shit together Sony you’re driving under the Sega sign.

I can’t believe no-one commented on the lack of a wheel on the car yet.
Well I guess that is what they mean with “the game is 95% finished”. They are only looking for a desperate designer for a front wheel.
I also can’t believe I actually caved in and made an account.

Why would Sega Sammy’s logo be in this game? I just don’t get it…..did they help Sony’s clueless, incompetent, and bungling development team with it’s development?

I can’t believe you don’t understand the concept of motionblur, which easily does hide wheels if the car is going fast enough.
Also, you guys fail at being funny.
It can be fun to point out flaws, but when there really aren’t any it’s plainly obvious how full of shit you are.

We fail at being funny?
Blimey, you’d best show us how to improve then; Go on, tell us a joke.
Oh yeah, you did, didn’t you? No flaws? Ha, good one, that.
A complete lack of fun couldn’t ever be classed as a flaw in a game, now could it? And of course the motion blur gag, that’s a classic too. After all, I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve seen cars on the motorway appear to float like they’re hover cars because they’re going so fast.
Y’know, just because we’re always laughing at you, doesn’t actually make you funny. I think more ‘tragically misguided’. And, let’s face it, being accused of that by anyone round here just makes it doubly tragic.
