I myself would feel more tempted if someone could list up WHAT EXACTLY IS IN THE GAME, what cars, what tracks, what kind of weather, etc
I will probably buy it at some point. I got drunk around the time of GT5P and bought the wheel...need some justification to bring it out of the closet. Tried playing arcade-style racers with it and it was turrible.
I want NFS before I get GT5...definitely waiting for black friday on that front though...
This may be a dumb question, but can I mod cars and make a super Honda Fit with 300HP?
Anyone getting fooled into buying a PS3 for Black Friday?
<-
I really like Forza, so yeah, I'm pretty interested in GT.
There are only 2 racers worth buying: Mario Kart for the best arcade experience, Gran Turismo for the best sim experience.
One down, one to go.

Mario Kart is not an arcade racer. And Sega All-Stars Racing is better than every Mario Kart except for DS and SNES.

Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection hits gamestop on November 17th for $30. Think I'll get get that instead.
I'll pick it up from Sony's RLS store for 10 bucks in 6 months. Need for Speed has my money. :-*High five! :-*
High five! :-*360. Can't wait for Tuesday. :D
Which version are you getting?
GT5 confirmed for November 24 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/12/gran-turismo-5-release-date-confirmed-for-november-24th-2010/)
Awesome, now Sony has 10 days to build up hype :teehee
It's a testament to how abysmal Forza/GT are that something as stale as Mario Kart is game of the forever in comparison.
BTW I didn't know where else to put this, but after like 10 years Isamu from GAF finally made the ultimate racing rig:So jealous. :-X

Awesome, now Sony has 10 days to build up hype :teehee
- Full car and track lists are now available. Notably missing are Porsche (just RUF) and Koenigsegg, the Seattle track, and the Veyron isn't a premium model.
- Only certain tracks have day/night and wet modes.
- Optional 10GB hard drive install that takes about 40 minutes.
- The available used car dealerships change based on the in-game day, kind of like GT PSP.
- Wheels can't be changed on standard cars.
- You win or unlock 'paint items' in order to be able to respray cars in different colours.
- Narrowness of the cockpit view is adjustable.
- The damage model seems to have been toned down a lot from previous showings. Stuff gets bent, but it looks more like it's melting than scratched up or broken, and it doesn't seem to affect performance as much.
- The tire smoke effects are pretty impressive; it can generate a cloud that drifts along and lingers for a bit before blowing away.
- The available used car dealerships change based on the in-game day, kind of like GT PSP.
Apparently SCEA has embargoed ALL reviews for 8:01AM PACIFIC on 11/24.:wtf
I wanted to get excited about this so I popped in my copy of GT4 in the PS3 and set it to 1080i mode to get hyphy... Unfortunately it was just so boring. I know I'm going to wind up buying this game but I'm gonna feel like a chump after it just sits and collects dust.
Rrrrghh...I might get it if there are any nice offers involving gift cards or preorder bonuses or some shiz, can someone help a brother out
How much is this going to sell? 500k? 1 million?
So it's going to top the NPD then? Do people still care about this franchise?
PS3 can do 1,000,000x AA now? Awesome.

The game looks good, just nowhere near photomode shots. It'll be about the same visually quality as Forza 3 during gameplay with F3 having better track graphics and GT5 having better car graphics.
This is the easiest game to troll in the world since 800 of the cars are PS2 models and taking pics of them makes it look like a ps2 game.
I read somewhere that some models are imported from PSP,if true that could explain it

wtf is this?
Can someone post some funny bits from gaf here? I dont think I can wade through the thread there.
This is in regards to no damage before hitting a specific level:QuoteIt is a great decision IMO.
It is pure RPG - you can't fight Cactuar in Corel Desert without having appropriate Materia and XP Lv. It is pure & beautiful old-school and 100% based on GT philosophy-principles.
I know that many will find it flawed, wrong and such, but hey - it is simple:
You want full physics, full damage and so on? No problem. You just need to progress into the game.
Besides, it will make a greatest handbrake an all potential flood of damage-only videos I was really worried to see all over the internet. If damage was enabled from the start, all you would see on YouTube with "GT5" tag would be "Enzo Crahfest", "F40 wrecked", "Murcielago Crashing ZOMG" and so on. This design-decision will just make it rare - and that is good.
Even from business perspective - I can see that all principals (manufacturers) that gives licenses to use cars to PD will praise such decision in long terms, thus allowing them to use more cars and everything in the future.
Above all things that are exectued in unique and perfect manner of GT heritage, this one stands out the most in my book.

its the stupidest thing ever to insert ps2 models in a ps3 game, like nintendo level of shitting on fans, didnt expect sony fanboys to defend this
You xbots are fucking dumb you can't even respect a good game just because youre so fucking scared. Well GT5 will be getting 10/10's everyweres, itw ill sell amazing xbox is over go suck some more bill gates dick youf aggots
The PS2 cars are embarrassing
they should have just called it GT Anthology and included car models from all the games to make it at least fit

Graphismes 15/20
Le jeu ne manque pas de crédibilité puisqu'il propose des couleurs et une modélisation des circuits parfaitement en accord avec une simulation. De plus, les voitures sont bourrées de détails et malgré des dégâts mal gérés, on apprécie de reluquer le moindre recoin de nos bolides. Mais que dire des innombrables soucis techniques dont est victime Gran Turismo 5 ? Aliasing omniprésent (sur les contours, sur les ombres), clipping, pixelisation honteuse de certaines textures... Sans compter le manque de détails aux abords des circuits... Dommage car en termes d'animation, les petits gars de Polyphony ont réellement fait très fort, le jeu étant parfaitement fluide de bout en bout.
#
Jouabilité 14/20
Il est très difficile de noter le gameplay de Gran Turismo 5. D'un côté, la simulation semble accuser un distinguished mentally-challenged fellow énorme sur la concurrence, du fait de sa rigidité et de la reconduite sans concession de mécanismes dépassés. D'autre part, on continue d'adorer l'exigence de ce timing et le respect du profil des voitures. Les sensations demeurent uniques, a fortiori en vue intérieure. Seulement voilà, il y avait tellement à corriger, tellement à faire évoluer... Notamment au niveau de l'IA dont le comportement est ridicule et scripté, au point qu'elle préfère se pénaliser que de vous donner une chance de dépasser proprement...
#
Durée de vie 17/20
Le jeu compte 1000 voitures, on en a beaucoup parlé mais au final, combien vont être utilisées durant une partie ? Peut-être une centaine tout au plus. Cet argument de vente n'en est finalement pas un, bien qu'on apprécie l'exhaustivité de l'offre des concessionnaires. Il ne faut pas omettre que beaucoup de modèles sont déclinés en de trop nombreuses versions. Malgré tout, Gran Turismo 5 est un jeu très riche, doté de nombreuses fonctionnalités et d'un jeu en ligne, ce qui manquait cruellement à la série. Sa vraie force est au final le côté très progressif de son mode GT Life.
#
Bande son 15/20
Comme c'est le cas pour l'ensemble du jeu, la bande-son est de qualité variable. Certaines sonorités de moteur sont bluffantes de réalisme, d'autres brillent par leur incohérence. Les bruitages ont également vieilli et on ne vous parle même pas des contacts qui accouchent sur des "chtong" aussi bizarres qu'étranges. Quant aux musiques qui accompagnent menus et courses, elles sont discrètes et bien choisies, encore une fois dans l'esprit de la série.

Note Générale 14/20
Si Gran Turismo fut "The Real Driving Simulator", ce n'est plus le cas. En ne remettant en question aucun des mécanismes rigides et poussiéreux de la série, Polyphony a développé un jeu pour les fans de GT et uniquement pour eux. Toutefois, si à chaque fois la méthode est maladroite et le résultat discutable, Polyphony a beaucoup œuvré sur le contenu du jeu et sur l'enrobage des courses, sans doute au mépris du gameplay. Mais, pour bien nous faire comprendre, n'imaginez pas que Gran Turismo 5 est un mauvais jeu. Au contraire, la simulation conserve une forte personnalité et reste le seul jeu consoles à rendre un tel hommage à autant de mécaniques diverses et variées.
Shitty frog site. Who cares.
Just got my game. I'm going to play the game. Have fun playing reviews. :lol
to be fair, for the 5% of gamers that actually care about GT for the gameplay, the 800 ps2 cars are great because gameplay-wise they handle like the PS3 cars and not like GT4. And since nobody is going to play in the 3rd person view with those, in first person when racing you won't even be able to tell they aren't premium cars.

Dude, you drink wine for fun. I'd say your fun indicator is pretty borked.
Because of the standard/premium difference, there really needs to be a rule that shots of standard cars are not allowed in this comparison thread. We know the standard cars look like PS2 because they are ps2 models/textures.
Manabyte why dont you stop taking the PS2 tracks and cars and threadshitting you distinguished effete fellow.

QuoteAbortion was the only right choice.
for once i agree but i think they should let Polyphony put out whatever shit fest they have for thier dumb as fuck fanboys to buy and jizz over without ANY knowledge before they finally do the right thing and take Kaz and his team aside and put bullets into them.
XX years too late, but hey... GT5 ... TOMBSTONE on a never evolving series. Mismanagement is a crime that SHOULD be punished by death and when you have taken a games series from HERO to ZERO? Well... you pay the cost...

When Gran Turismo 5 starts, it asks if you want to install 6,92 gigabytes on your hard drive or try your luck without installing it. Stupidly, I started my career as GT5-driver without going through the installation, which I paid dearly for during the following five hours. What happens if you don't install the full game, which takes about 55 minutes to do, the game takes it upon itself to install small pieces at a time while you're playing. Every track can take several minutes to load and it becomes a true pain to go through the career mode. With that said, it should be noted that the loading times don't become that much shorter even after you've gone through the installation. Of course the gaming experience becomes a lot smoother, but the game still loads a bit too much despite the massive amount of data on the hard drive.

I only downloaded the first disc.
Really? Everyone is saying Forza still has better handling; especially with the tire physics. Then again, one can't assume that a Sfag ever even played Forza 3.
The game's graphics aren't really constant. Sometimes it looks like the best game ever, and sometimes it looks like Forza aka average.
But the handling is superior. No sim racer has better gameplay.
And the loading can be annoying at times. I consumed a whole meal during the installation, and the loading still sucks.
I can understand the lower scores. But this game's still very good. There's so much stuff to do.

We can now confirm that Sony intends to add new features to Gran Turismo 5 "at a later". An SCEE representative told NowGamer this evening:

QuoteWhat's become tiresome both on GAF and occasionally over here is how this and Forza have become some sort of proxy war for consoles. It's a sim racer. If these weren't console exclusives for the most part nobody on messageboards would be interested in either game. Just like all the other simulation style videogames that regularly get ignored.
i disagree partly - it IS a proxy war for sure though. If you like Forza , you should like GT and vice versa. There's somethings better on one than the other, but at the end of the day you are either a racing sim fan or you aren't - anyone saying either of these game is "Sh!t" whilst the other is "ZOMG amazing!" is taking out of their big cavernous ar$es.

Well not literally but yes that is my subjective opinion on the load times. It seems all racing games this generation (PGR, Codemasters games, etc) have lengthy load times though. You could instantly restart a race whenever you want though so I know that makes your purple starfish clench har-de-har-har.After installing both disks, Forza's loading was just bearable.
That's what you're telling yourself.
what if you play it and it isn't a masterpiece
what if you find yourself having less than shivering orgasm whilst playing
what if you GASP think it's kind of boring
can we expect an honest assessment
1) No chance. The game has everything I wanted it to have. It would be like getting upset at a game for doing everything right.
2) It has Go-karts.
3) Go-karts.
4) Of course. In fact, if I were to rate the racers I've played this gen, GT5: Prologue would actually be 2nd and not 1st.
Can you guess which racer is in 1st place

Good FM3 and GT5 comparison article:

Basically other than frame tearing, there's really no major difference between the two games graphics.

Okay, apparently I'm having hellish load times, including lethargic navigation inside the MAIN MENU, because I did not opt to do the SECONDARY FIFTY-MINUTE INSTALL.
Hoiy. Fucking. Shit.

If you're trying to play Gran Turismo 5 at the moment and wondering why everything is stalling and running so slowly - even in your singleplayer games - you can thank "extreme online traffic congestion".
...
While the "extreme online traffic congestion" lasts, users are being warned that even such basic things as moving through the game's menus can result in delays of "several minutes", as GT5 connects online not just to race against other people, but also "when starting the game and during the various screen displays in GT Mode".
In an attempt to "temporarily alleviate" the problem, Sony has cut off all user access to the viewing of logs, and in many cases changes to user profiles and changes to friends lists as well.
While Sony work to fix this problem, users are being told to disconnect their PlayStation 3s from their network and play in offline mode.
According to a report on Bloomberg, Sony is looking at taking the job of company president away from current CEO Sir Howard Stringer, with one of the possible candidates for that role being PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai.
Fuck this, I'm going to bed. Maybe this shit will be fixed by the time I get up
-No friend rooms or password rooms ( I could make 2 bullet points with that)
-No invites (all the while there is an invite system working perfectly in the firmware)
-While in a lobby, anybody can start the race.
-Online race configuration doesn't let you restrict cars or regulate much stuff that isn't global settings like assists.
triple a shouldn't you be playing this amazing game instead of making a career out of defending it on a message board
nobody could be that stupid, not even Methodis.
If you like Forza , you should like GT and vice versa. There's somethings better on one than the other, but at the end of the day you are either a racing sim fan or you aren't - anyone saying either of these game is "Sh!t" whilst the other is "ZOMG amazing!" is taking out of their big cavernous ar$es.

Another month, and another flurry of review scores from the Official Playstation Magazine UK. It's Issue 52, Christmas 2010, and it has a moody Gran Turismo 5 picture on the cover.
Gran Turismo 5 - N/A - OPM have decided to do several pages of kind, and sometimes not-so-kind words on GT5, without giving a score.

This is the game that just keeps on giving!
OK dooderslices
I have some questions:
1. How do I get custom soundtracks, the elevator music is murdering my eardrums
2. What is the best affordable wheel out there for the PS3
3. How do I turn on 720p mode? Game is well playable in 1080p mode but the performance during replays is stinnnnky.
Did a round on Fuji Speedway with the Tesla. Awesome awesome. Will delve into A Spec Mode later, arcade mode is where I am going to get my jollies for now.
It literally took +1 minute to exit from the Museum screen to the GT Life menu. Is this a result of network congestion? WTF is wrong with this game
OK thanks a ton. Too bad the Forza wheel doesn't work with ps3, tee hee
I'd thought the damage was only cosmetic...
Do all 200 cars even have damage?
This is really getting ridiculous

"We received a lot of demands for having more regulations placed on the online play. We're going to perform an update on the 27th that will include things like max power restrictions and weight restrictions," Yamauchi said.
"It's like a living creature, dynamically growing as we speak."
According to Yamauchi, the update will "refine the usability of the game to make it a better experience.
"I think it's going to be hard to find an end to that process," he admitted.
The high demand coupled with GT5's constant communication with the internet is causing all sorts of problems that spill over even into single-player races.
Sony's temporary solution? Disable your PS3 internet connection.
"Yesterday the online service was kind of in a critical state," Yamauchi said.
"The data centre was set up to handle 500,000 connections but the number of connections we received greatly exceeded that amount and there was a high chance of experiencing problems as a result.
"The design of the GT game really integrates the online and offline parts. So the problems online actually affected the offline play as well. Right now we've changed the number of simultaneous connections that are possible to one million, doubling the number, and we're trying to gauge what will happen, but we don't know at this point in time."

In other words, it'll be months before the game is anywhere near tollerable.
And if you wait and buy until they fix it, can you imagine how long it'll take to download and install all the updates not to mention the hour long install the game already has? If you buy GT5 like 6 months from now it'll probably take 3 hours of downloads and installs before you can even get to the fucking game. :/

pre-xbox launch Sony fanboy noise : "LOL, a HARDDISK in a console?! Welcome to installs and games released that aren't even finished and, ugh... patches"
Pretty funny how that all shook down given Sony have been the ones who have fell into all the pitfalls that the XBox was apparently running full steam into, and even funnier that the no. 1 Sony franchise is going to be the poster boy for the complaints.
And again - they delayed the game once last year - at which points did all these issues sail past anyones gaze?

what's the deal with the edging when you have effects going on? seen this with both smoke and rain.
It is very low post-processing resolution. IIRC 1/16th framebuffer res and possibly lower-res. That means rain effects, smoke, dust will make foreground objects alias badly which brings the memories back to C64 era in this case. I assume it wont be as pronounced in replay (30fps) as in ingame racing and photomode probably does 1:1 post-processing buffer res.

So what's the verdict? Three days in — and with many more days left to go — I have to say that while Gran Turismo 5's driving dynamics are better than any other racing game on the market, Forza Motorsport 3's nipping closely at its heels*. And given some of the latter's better (and more clearly labeled) vehicular upgrade options, smoother interaction with AI vehicles, and GT5's installation "challenges" (like a 133 MB required update to make multiplayer mode somewhat usable), Forza Motorsport 3 provides a much more compelling option for a car enthusiast looking to jump into a realistic and entertaining video racing game.
And why is there no snow kick up in the rear view mirror?
And why is there no snow kick up in the rear view mirror?
This game is very good so far. I could't play much Forza 3 because I got bored by it really fast.
In this game I can race with karts, race during nigh or day. During rain and snow. There's also rally and Nascar.
Forza 3 is really a low budget game compared to this.
People just expected too much of GT5. And in my opinion, it delivered. It's better than I expected actually.

The former is perfection, a sensation in the mouth. The latter is failsauce.

That's what's been going through my mind too. I don't know how many times I've read people going on and on about Forza's livery saying that they buy these games to race not to spend hours painting Cowboy Bebop on their hood and yet it's those same idiots that can't seem to get the hell out of photomode in GT. Sometimes I wonder if they're just trying to be stupid to start shit up or if they've really gone over the fucking deep end.
Sony Console Owners: Oh man this game is great. Looks hot as shit. Im glad I enjoy watching good graphics.
Shit that was fast. If this had been an MS game itd be stuck in cert for weeks.
Has MS released a game at retail that was this fucking broken and unfinished?

Sho Nuff, I think you need to man up and post your receipt already. We're all getting wise to your little game.
Despite being released to a metascore of 86 and selling 1.8 million copies worldwide in just two days (to put that in perspective, Halo Reach still hasn’t sold that much in EMEAA countries), Gran Turismo 5 has suffered a barrage of bitch slaps by fanboys since its release.
the PS3 community demonstrated extraordinary hubris and even started the in-game model comparisons, frequently comparing screenshots to Forza 3 and declaring it “a game-changer” and “better than real life” way before the first actual gameplay footage had been released.

Oh look.
The fact of the matter is that Gran Turismo 5 is nowhere near a flop
I'm sorry, what is EMEAA?
Also, is it really surprising that the latest game in a 13 year old franchise debuts strong on a platform currently devoid of any real exclusives for the holiday season?
EMEAA=made up vg charts numbers

Yeah, not a game for PlayStation Move. This is Sony's only core title for the holiday making.
Thanks for the breakdown, it's nice to know you consider core-titles to be the only 'real exclusives'.
I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks The Fight or Kinect Sports are real exclusives. Their causal fodder that holds no weight with the core audience.
Hey, guys, have you heard of this new game called 3DMark 11? It totally blows away any other game out there right now; PC, console, doesn't matter. The graphics are just so stunning, I can't even stop staring at it long enough to play!
If it looked an entire generation ahead then it wouldn't look the same in a side-by-side comparison shot. Hell, the only difference I can see in any of the shots is the better tire texture on the evo in FM3.Somebody on gaf posted some decent comparison shots.Then you have not played both games. Either that or you're playing in standard definition, because the premium models in GT5 look an entire generation ahead of anything on both Ps3 and 360.

Both games use higher poly meshes for the photomode/menu models while the poly count for the meshes that are used during gameplay and replays are a fraction of that. I think both games basically look identical.
In fact, it is only the shadow resolution (on the cars) and effect pixelation that remind you that you're playing on limited hardware. But to be fair to GT, there are still PC games that struggle like fuck with effects cranked up - so yeah.
If it looked an entire generation ahead then it wouldn't look the same in a side-by-side comparison shot. Hell, the only difference I can see in any of the shots is the better tire texture on the evo in FM3.Somebody on gaf posted some decent comparison shots.Then you have not played both games. Either that or you're playing in standard definition, because the premium models in GT5 look an entire generation ahead of anything on both Ps3 and 360.

Have you actually played both games? Because I have, and I can tell you right now: Nothing on either console can match the graphical fidelity of the premium models in GT5.First off the PS3 is 4 years old and second, maybe the lighting on the cars is more convincing. When looking at extreme close up shots of gameplay/photomode models of both games, it's clear that there aint shit other than that that's different about the cars.
GT5 looks like driving games do on my PC (running @1080p with everything on high). And it's running on 6 year old hardware.
Makes you wonder what PC devs have been doing all this time.

During gameplay, the games are basically indistinguishable except for different lighting and Forza's more stable framerate.
If anything it makes me wonder why it took Polyphony Digital so long to put this out....and in this state.

So basically, Ps3 distinguished mentally-challenged fellows buy this game to take pictures of 3D modeled cars that they will never drive in real life.

QuoteBtw Antony, what level are you?
<serioushat> I've not started career mode yet, i've had a few hours just arsing around with Arcade as the times i could play the noise from the force feedback wheel would have woken the boy (i'm only getting to game very late at night and didn't want to hit career on the pad). Likely the next time i'll get to play the first patch will be out, so that all works out fine </serioushat>
I'm level on the floor laughing at this turd.

If people still care, that is a nice fair video that shows almost identical races for both games. I only played Forza 3, but it looks too bright in that video than how I remembered it looking. Gran Turismo 5 looks a bit dark and I have no idea if that's normal.
Fighting about which drab-sim is better. Seriously.

1) Agreed, Gran Turismo 5 looks waaaay too dark in that comparison.
2) You can see the shadow resolution issue (in GT5) that I posted in my previous post.
3) Forza's lighting is abysmal. It looks like a cartoon in comparison to actual simulators.
That was a actually a good review. Pretty fair and not too harsh.
Hopefully after a few patches GT5 will be more of an 8/10 game than a 7/10 one. But there's no way it'll be a great AAA 10/10 title ever. And unless there's a DMC2->DMC3, I don't see GT6 being any better.
At this point if Forza can improve their lighting engine, their handling, and make the game less grindy boring as well as including more and better looking tracks, Forza 4 could be the king of sim racers like GT was during the PS2 era. Forza 3 is a good step in the right direction and way better than Forza 1/2, but it still needs at least one more upgrade to be what GT was at its best. I'd like to see Bizarre get picked up by MS and work with Turn 10 on Forza 4. Adding things like Kudos combo chaining events and a varied single player mode like PGR would make it a much better game.
My main problem with F3 is the career mode was a grind. Too many laps per race, too many events with the same tracks over and over before progressing to new ones, everything to plain and sterile.
Forza's problem is too few/shitty tracks, and that they are repeated WAY too much in the career. Out of the entire list, I only enjoy driving on two of them, three at a stretch.
Not gonna get solved 'til they get a bigger budget, or do way more outsourcing. Given their sales, they're likely gonna go the route of gradual accumulation over multiple games by reusing stuff we're bored with already. Annoying but I can't see a way around it.
I thought it was disc space. Isn't there stuff in 1 and 2 that didn't even make it into 3?
I recently played around with the game, if all-too-briefly. Shift 2 is still months away from its planned release next spring, but the standout addition, a new "helmet cam" view, was fully functional -- and something I think racing fans will be wowed by -- in the preview build. Evolving from the driver's eye camera system in the first Shift, the new camera view not only realistically recreates the effects of g-forces, bumps, crashes, acceleration and braking from an in-car perspective, but now integrates the portions of the helmet that you'd see (if you were a real, careful race car driver) and, most importantly, the camera now looks into turns, just as drivers do in real life.
What sounds like a neat gimmick proved to be a potential game-changer during the two races I competed in. The helmet cam shifted to always focus on the apex of a turn as I went into it -- essentially, an automated head-tracking system!

You know what, I don't like GT or Forza, but can we quit with the fucking picture trolling? It seems that after 16 pages and TripleA leaving there seems to be a few people that take this game seriously and want to actually talk about it now that it is out and they are actually playing it. So can you fucks please just leave?No. :patel :miyamoto :usavich
oddly enough I figured you'd be the one to want to you know, discuss racing games once you'd played them.Too busy having fun in NFS Hot Pursuit to care about this. :patel

Might as well post this here - is it still hard to get the newer Forza 3 Ultimate Edition, nowhere seems to have it and it sounds like it's a "soft rollout" as the old stock clears and it will replace it as a platinum/best hits whatever MS calls that.

Xbots still arguing over GT5. sorry i cant hear you over gt5 selling millions of copies :lol :lol :lol
One funny little bit I've noticed is that for hardcore Sony fanboys sales never mattered this gen. It was all about the reviews.
But now with GT 5 its all about the sales again.
It's almost as if they are making this shit up as they go along.
I like how sales only matter to Sony fans when it's in their favor.
... actually, maybe the gameplay wouldn't be -that- unacceptable in 2006? So it might backfire somewhat. Perhaps we could send Forza 3 back with all the logos and ingame identifiers hidden so they -think- it's GT5. Only way a Sony fan would praise it - but that's because they are dumdum.
This is the dumbest thread in the history of dumb threads.
F3 fanboys are going to always pretend F3 is a better game. GT5 Fanboys will know they have the better game. Isn't it simple? GT5's photomode/in game/features/Physics trump Forza. Forza trumps GT when it comes to painting liveries & fantasy modifications with 8 cars in a race. GT will always sell more. Forza will rate higher with a majority folks that start off their review: "Need for Speed Shift..." I mean what is the point of this thread at this point? If you have a choice, its clear GT5 is a better car sim, as reviews do seem to all agree on. And thats whats been advertised in GT. Sales speak for a genre where there are only really 2 competitors. No one showed up for F3 besides a handful of people who couldn't get GT. Spec to Spec, theres no contest. Glitch Vs Glitch, or ugly texture vs ugly texture? This is the silliest thing on earth at this point.
LOL @ the model car texture. WHAT the hell is that about? If the best features of GT5 didn't make up for everything else known to console sim worlds, I'd question PD's work ethic as far as their "perfectionist" tag. However its hard to find only mistakes and use that as the bar..
Again pointless because F3 fanboys of course will pretend that they bought GT5 just for close up photographs of a flipped over car, and not the simulation aspect of a car sim. Are you guys going to start arguing fonts next?
And Forza/Turn10 claimed the replay stills were in game. Which is why people used those shots vs GT5p shots, now all of a sudden theres a clear acknowledgment that Forza3 upgrades the models severely for menu/replay? Yet GT5 only does for photomode? How many times can F3 just not stack up to GT5, and why is it still being debated? Turn10's direction for F3 wasn't widening the genre, or features that the community wanted. It was to get a driving game out as fast as possible so that Microsoft could say they have one on their Xbox360. Its been 3 releases yet no significant upgrades from one to another outside of the original inclusion of decal swapping damage & livery editor. Theres no reason it couldn't do weather/night/pitcrews/rally or any of that. It was just something that wasn't even in the vision for the past 3 games.
Blah, continue to argue. But amazingly silly thread. Its summed up with "LOL LOok at this GT5 mistake! Its on par with Turn10's final product!"
he nailed it

like it how you compare the forza cars to a standard car – and it looks the same – Fail
bullshots? i have taken photos in game what have left people confused as to if there real or not. im not going to list everything this pathetic unknown website is trying to troll about GT5 cuz this site does not deserve my time.
GT5 is the only game i have played this gen where after 8 days solid play i have yet to play another game, my 360 has not been turned on in over a week because of this game. Forza is terrible i have them all GT4 is better than forza2 and 3
so stop begging for hits trolling this game you bunch of sad pathetic losers get a fucking life instead of ripping off great games just so more people visit your website. dick heads.
another idiotic LIE .. you bullshit .. and btw forza does have SCRIPT non DAMAGE textture swap you xcrap idiot.
typical distinguished mentally-challenged xbot rants on a phantom site…brainwashed morons wouldn’t tell a true sim from a shitty copy that is forsssssa

This is the truth. You can definitely separate the people who are just having a laugh because of the meltdowns, and the genuine XBots who have so much invested in Forza. I am just surprised we have so many of the latter here.Both Forza and GT suck. What is wrong with you people?
It's a fun train wreck to watch, but I'm not going to actively participate in it because, let's be honest, sim racers sucks.
eh? we have one! Maxy.
Don't get the mentality that if you like sim racers, you must hate arcade racers, and by extension, hate 'fun'. Jesus, GT is one of the best-selling games of ANY kind, EVER. To pretend that it's some marginal thing for freaks is just weird. I play the games because *I* think they're fun, and it doesn't diminish my enjoyment of Burnout etc one whit.

Sony released a special version of GT5 for Walmart. There's nothing different about it, except a "NASCAR INSIDE" sticker that almost covers up the "5" on the box.

PGR4 can do a lot of that!
I was actually playing Forza 3 a bit last night. As much as I like to shit on these 'sim' console racers, I do enjoy just picking a random car and driving around a track. I never play the career modes or whatnot in these games, but just driving around a track, it is pretty relaxing. Also, Forza 3 looks worse than I remember it looking. I was playing PGR4 the other day and that definitely looks a lot nicer. Just judging from videos, GT5 can look really nice, but there are so many inconsistencies with the shadows and standard cars and things like that. I'll still probably buy it one day if its cheap...or they make GT5 Epilogue that fixes the problems.

That's it? That is the whole patch?
There isn't a big enough LOL sign to fit on the internet.
A few more questions from Yamauchi's Twitter:
Q1. Can we have bikes in GT5?
A. It's wouldn't be difficult to do technologically speaking, if there's a very strong demand, we could consider it maybe.
Q2. Can we have time control (fast-forward and rewind) in replay mode, it would be easier to take pictures this way?
A. I think so too.
Q3. How do you play GT5?
A. I use DFGT and controller (but I switched to analog stick)
Someone also seemed angry about the cars with the texture under the chassis from a miniature car. Yamauchi said something about old models that were created with the help from people at Autoart (a miniature car company I guess?)
h_echizenya: Using toy cars as reference isn't an unusual thing anyways. Though it would be hilarious if you left it there on purpose (referring to some cars' underside being modeled from toy cars. This issue caused an explosion of complaints in Japan)
Kaz: It's hilarious, but but they'll be gone in the next update. It's rather embarrassing.

If we're lucky.
Probably. Although the crap assets would look even worse in high res, at least the performance would be smoother and more consistent.
I'm currently playing Hot Pursuit on my PC, with a 360 pad and the 60 fps framerate makes it so much funner to play than the console versions.

You still need PS3[close]
"Early next year", you'll be able to monitor a Gran Turismo 5 race from your PC, and even issue basic commands such as 'enter the pits' or 'overtake'.
Your PS3 game will still need to be running, however, and you can control it with a limited list of commands through a PC web browser
:lol WHO IS ASKING FOR THIS FEATURE!?
BTW I was playing supercars on the rainy Special Stage and oh my god did it look like shit on a plate. Whenever water trails appear from the backs of the cars, it does some bizarro alpha-channel resolution thing where the cars' outlines look like they're being rendered at 320x200 or something. Everything in front of me was a mess of giant ugly pixels.
Good thing they're working on this instead of fixing stupid things like damage or including more features for online sessions.

So they added damage for offline races?
Reading about you guys playing this game is like looking at someone smearing shit all over his own face. :yuck
More cars in the Gran Turismo 5 garage are to be given the premium treatment, according to creator Kazunori Yamauchi - which means they'll soon be more detailed and allow an interior view.
Of that garage, 811 of the 1031 vehicles are only available in standard form.
Yamauchi, talking to Famitsu magazine (read by Andriasang), didn't say how many would be updated, but clearly he has a mountain of material to work with. He also didn't give a timeframe for the update.
The game has shipped 5.5mln units in 12 days.
