first i want to clarify something
Gran Turismo is from japan, and they have a different vision of a “simulation” which is quite different than our philosophy.
they can even simulate love rpg. in GT they simulate racing in a way that you can buy cars, take pictures of them, sell them, take license test.
they dont put a huge emphasis on the physic itself.. it’s more a graphic whore rather than anything else.
it’s like saying FF7 is a real RPG, it’s great. but it’s completely different from Baldur’s gate or even Oblivion.

that was my two cents :)

Sure, GT is not a sim but it’s simulation-like I think.

He didn’t beat him at a round of Pac-Man or Tetris but at a driving game. Of course, that does not mean much… but it is a nice story afterall…..

He beat him playing GT though. That’s like beating a Tennis World No.1 at Table tennis (Not to take anything away from Table tennis).

I’d like to see him repeat that feat in RBR.
