The unfortunate thing is you guys Gran Turismo has ditched 'tuning' from it's play and provides only Standard and Race versions of the cars for the game after GT6
Now I understand it's a completely different game and genre but the thinking could well be a similar 'corporate' thinking Yamauchi's response was that gamers today didn't understand what doing various thing to a car would do so he eliminated the choice, many FPS games nerf and buff weapons to balance on line gameplay,
It may well fall about their ears, but it dose seem that gameplay is becoming secondary to 'pretty pretty' aimed at the casual player
