    GT racing seems not very good.

    • http://www.yourpersonalrobot.com your personal robot

      Thought the same. Looks like a weak and boring Real Racing version.

      • http://musicgamespickles.blogspot.com/ Robert M.

        Yup! I agree with you guys! It looks like crap.

      • zuqbu

        while real racing had it's own take on the genre, gt racing motor academy is a complete gran turismo rip off. the menus, the driving school, the options, the career mode, car presentation, even the name. they're not the first to be "inspired" by sony's franchise, but this looks like there is nothing new.

    • liquidmutiny

      I think it's funny that "Josh" the podcast host said "Achievements" instead of Trophies. What does Sony use?

    Noticed the person demoing Sandstorm didn't try the "Online" muliplayer instead went for "Local Wifi", I wonder why... :)

    • Kite111

      They do that on all their online demos. It's cause their connectivity over the internet sucks. The only game so far that's really been done in a good polished way so far is Eliminate, and that was by NGmoco. I'm interested to see if NOVA will be it's killer, or do a Sandstorm.

    i want a real GT from Sony on the IPod, there looks like a Chinese Copy of the Gran Turismo game, when the gamephysics are nice, then its hopefully nice!
    the wheellook must much better, and the Wheel must be 360° view.

    gameloft is a big wannabe publisher ripping off innovative indie developers and trusted brands. and no, they don't do it in a good way. this online-multiplayer joke they were making with us was only the beginning.

    • LBG

      Seriously, stfu.

      • breeze

        seriously, the 4 letters you managed to write simply show that you're a stupid gameloft fanboy. fanboys have no arguments. fanboys aren't intelligent. fanboys just say 'stfu'. (And if they're serious, the place a 'seriously' in front of it)

    I am impresed with Gt racing, the inside vehicle view is great and feels like Real Racing+Gran turismo. Gameloft is giving us the chance to play amazing games and I like they take the Iphone market seriuosly, not like other big companies(Capcom, Konami, Sega...). I see Gameloft is like the biggest indie developer or the smaller big company but I love their last games and the next ones looks very promising.

    For GL haters no one is forcing no one to like or dislike a game, and 95% of all games on all platforms are copies or past games.

    Thanks a lot Gameloft, you make happy the gamer I am

    Funny stuff, even their bridge building game is a clone (of World of Goo, which is thankfully on it's way to the iPhone).

    Real Racing looks miles better than their Gran Turismo clone too.

    Any chance of asking them about the astroturfing / fake reviewers in UK iTunes store for recent Asphalt 5 release?

    Gameloft keeps getting better and better, glad to see they are active in creating new games and updates.

    For now, we just got to wait for NOVA, let's hope it is as good as it sounds.
    Hey, Avatar looks pretty neat too!

    Wow, and not only that, but you censor comments that point out how biased you guys are.

    clearly a trustworthy group of people.
