GT5 and Forza 3 – A Discussion w/o Fanboyism
I (Kwonstein) spent a lot of time last weekend – perhaps too much time – talking into my microphone and scouring the net for footages and images of the two most hyped racing games Gran Turismo 5 and Forza Motorsport 3 to make videos not only about these games but also to share my thoughts on how they might and will impact and change the racing simulator landscape. I myself am highly interested in these two games and so was very alarmed to find that on the Internet there hardly exists videos or blogs that discuss the two games without the awful taint of fanboyism. That being the case, I took up the cause to make videos such as the ones embedded below, to encourage discussion about the two games that lack fanboyism and which is also full of insightful thoughts about the genre.
I wasn’t as eloquent as I wanted to be but I think in the general scope of things, these videos were a success. The few comments I’ve been getting on YouTube and GameTrailers were extremely productive and supportive. Maybe I’m preaching to the choir with these videos but I’m just glad that now there’s at least four videos that foster an actual discussion about these games, not in relation to which one’s better or which console is more desirable, but in relation to how they are shaping the industry.
Yes, I am personally disappointed that the first two parts don’t contain any actual game footage but just screenshots. But this is my only method to bypass the strict copyright guidelines that YouTube imposes on their users. In that sense, I’m glad that my two other videos on this did not get taken down.
