Gran Turismo 5

[kupomogli]

Went through the search option and there's no actual thread for GT5 other than Prologue. There are a ton of GT4 threads though.

Anyways. Delayed again. This is turning into Gran Turismo 5: Forever.

Not much of a Gran Turismo fan, but the more I hear about GT5 the more I've become interested in it. Because Test Drive Unlimited 2 was delayed until next year I was going to probably pick this up to play. Now this is being delayed again I might as well just wait a few more months for Test Drive Unlimited 2(have had it preordered for months now.)

Five years in development so far. Maybe they want to beat Duke after all.

Cripes. I just pre-ordered this game a few weeks ago. Hopefully the delay will be minimal or else it will be a bad experience for my first preorder.

I'll put it to you this way: the entire God of War franchise has been released while this game has been in development(GOW 1-3, Collection, two PSP games and a cell phone game). Thats seven games and I don't think you'd hear many people complain about their quality. I think you chose the wrong game to preorder. However, this game will most likely finally see the light of day in 2011. The question is, will it be before or after DNF "supposedly" comes out next year.

I've never been a big fan of driving games that don't involve karts, but GT5 looks amazing. I might be picking this one up (whenever that may be). GT1 and 2 were fun. Never played GT3 or 4.

Sometimes all one has to add to a thread is a link. I'm still in awe here.

Yeah I was wondering if GT5 was ever going to come out as well, but at least it's here! I've been playing it non stop for the last few days, and although it's by no means perfect, it's certainly a fantastic game.

First off the pros, the graphics are amazing for the most part. Most of the tracks are stunningly detailed, especially the night tracks, while some of the older tracks like Grand Valley look like they were just taken from GT4 and given a slight facelift. The lower end cars look good to great, with some of them looking like slightly altered GT4 cars. The premium cars are gorgeous and beautifully detailed. There is absolutely NO slowdown, everything runs at a smooth 60 f/s. The engine sounds are truly authentic, every car sounds different from one another, as the lower end cars are pretty quiet,while the premium cars like vettes and lambos sound like beasts. The control and handling of the cars is the tighest they've ever been. New additions like cart racing, Nascar, and online just add to the already crazy longevity that this game will give people. There's also a huge amount of tuning and customization you can do as well.

Now onto the cons. The cons are far and few between, so here we go: the A.I. is still pretty retarded a good chunk of the time. The soundtrack is shitty techno and metal stuff for the most part. The menus could have been a little better designed, but a minor detail. The load times can be a little lengthy sometimes, but are pretty speedy most of the time. Lastly the car damage is pretty minimal. These to me, are all very minor flaws though, and have very little impact on what otherwise is a stellar game. Some of the reviews I've read about this game, nitpick and dwell too much on little, insignificant shit like this, and they also bitch about the fact that GT5 is only for racing fans, well that's all it's ever been for! It's always been a hardcore racing sim, not a quick pick up and play arcade racer. Solid 9/10!

I hope the development team gets a really long break after this but considering the lead designer already let slip that GT6 is well in the planning stage I doubt it will be a long enough break for them. And I also bet GT6 won't be out until the next Sony console, although they should atleast release some updated versions to GT5 in the interim.

Watch this come true in a few years.

Does anyone have a 3D setup? I'd like to know if GT5's 3D extends into splitscreen multiplayer. I'm guessing it doesn't, but I'd like to be wrong.
