Can Gran Turismo 5 outsell Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec?

andyo13 - 320 days 22 hours ago

i just started playing gt3 again and i forgot how awsome it was. Also is it true that gt5 will have car damage? or is that just guna be stuff like tires wearing out. if gt5 does get car damage then i hope they do a stunning job as always.

fan since DAY ONE. We can gripe about delays all day about some things, but ((all)) fans of pure & true racing bliss wait for *perfection when it come to GT.

No one's got swagger like Polyphony Digital: The Tradition Continues.

Agreed Madden Raiders.

Hardcore GT Fans know that it's worth waiting for. Even GT4 which seemed like it took a decade to come out, was the best racing sim on PS2.

GT5 will do it again.

Sony just needs to drop the price to $299, so nobody has an excuse of "The PS3 is too expensive, even for GT5"

Gran Turismo 4 was one of the best titles in the series and my personal favourite out of the series and that's saying a lot. The Mercedes-Benz challenge at Nurburgring (full) still haunts me to this day.

Gran Turismo -- for Enlightened Minds Only.

Cruising USA is a driving sim?

I didn't say that Cruisin' U.S.A was a sim.

I said that, along with the Gran Turismo series is what got me into driving games.

And Knight, please tell your group that unless they can challenge my comments, then they need to cease and desist with the disagree button because it makes them look foolish!

I agree with you Juuken. It was the GT series that also got me into the driving games - i didn't use the term driving "sim" games as back then it was the only "sim" game i was aware of on a console and the best IMHO on the console market at the time. However the GT series have not changed in the last 5 games and thus are no longer considered a true "sim" when compared to games like Forza 1 & 2.

GT is still an awesome game there is no doubt about it - however the only innovation (and i use the term lightly) is the great use of light effects and reflections (since creating great polished cars isn't really innovative).

Because of this lack of innovation and bringing the series up to the next level is why reviewers are becoming a little bit more harsh when reviewing the game - they are getting tired of the same game over and over - just looking better and better.

I have replied and "challenged" to your comments in the past and as usual you come back with nothing. Just juvenile verbal attacks with nothing that adds to the article or conversation. I pick my battle with people that can actually think and give me a good argument. Your debating skills is as good as Nasim.

I'm really affraid that it just might not come out this year though. From what I've been hearing, PP are not just adding damage to the cars but rather than just have that as an asthetic, are implementing sim damage modeling which will mean there won't be damage for damage sake but the damage will affect the cars as they would in real life.

Now this is a tricky thing cause you don't want to have gameplay burdened by this (seeing as this IS a video game after all) but also have to make it reasonable believable.

You now PP, they're known rabid perfectionist when in comes to cars and they just won't bring this out 'till it's DONE! I'd imagine sim damage modeling for Online competition, the way they're tryin to implement this and many other things, would be a daunting task.

This is one game I really don't care about waiting years for cause GT ALWAYS delivers in spades.

This.

I've recently, in the past few days, got back into it because of the drifting challenges. I mean, I've probably done the Eiger Nordward drift track over 40 times today alone in varying cars trying to perfect the drift.

It's shallow for a Gran Turismo game, but it's also not a full title. Hope they have dirt tracks with drift challenges in the full game.

Gran Turismo sells tons in Europe, always has, this edition will be no different.

Maybe Halo will someday pull off Gran Turismo sales, you mean... ;)

halo cannot compare to gt5 in anyway. i meant to say that GT5 on its own can pull off halo 3 sales (around 9 mil)

What you're not factoring, is that people who don't have a PS3 WILL BUY ONE to play GT5.

I say just as long as the price drop rumors are true, and the PS3 is $299 then GT5 could potentially move tons of hardware especially in Europe.

Forza is an excellent game. Forza 2 was an even better game.

But none match the quality and polish of a GT game. Disagree all you want, but that's the fact.

And GT5 will be no different.

Plain and simple GT has very limited tweaks and performance enhancements. Forza 2 has an enormous amount of parts that you can buy and tweak. Like I said I'm a gearhead and this was just butter on my popcorn!

Quality and polish? LMAO. What the hell does that mean? Yeah GT has some superb looking mountains but Forza has the better gameplay. You can't argue that fact.

PirateThom - 320 days 20 hours ago

Gran Turismo has all that, customisable parts, performance tweaks and, since GT5P, on the fly tweaks while racing, very in depth, at least as in depth as Forza. The only thing is does lack is actual decal customisation.

Actualy GT series including so far GT5 is nothing close to a sim as forza 2 is. Forza you can actualy blow your tranny. If certain parts on your car is damaged it will have an impact at how well your cars handles on the road. In the GT series there is no damage - not even scratches. If you don't take damage then your car will always perform at its peak regardless of what you hit - or if you keep your RPM's over reved in the red for a long period of time.

Forza2 is by far a more Realistic Sim that GT will ever be. All you sony faithfuls by all means tell me how is GT5 more of a sim than Forza - what does the GT series do that the Forza series doesn't (other than have better polished looking cars). I have already told you what GT5 (as far as we know so far) doesn't have compared to Forza2 now tell me what GT5 has that Forza 2 doesn't.

Not to mention the PLETHORA of customizing the parts and tuning of each part...(including the air pressure in the tires and angles of the tires) and total customization of the transmission - depending on which transmission you purchase and install in the car...there is just so much in Forza2.

an arcade racer with a lot of shiny lights and noises. the cars feel weird, like to much "rumbling". i have both, and i noticed that in GT5 when you change cars, you REALLY change cars. The feeling (for lack of a better word) is superb. compare a Ferrari 450 with an Honda NSX. TOTALLY different experience. the sound is awesome, the handling is so representative of the cars, the attention to detail (polish) is amazing.
Forza is fun, no doubt, but it cant escape the arcade feeling.
broom broom! + customize
damage is okay, if you dont mind then is whatever, but i would like to see it on GT 5
