Gran Turismo 5

[Something Sexy]

I could never play these games with a wheel. Maybe I will have to try it out this time around but I was always much better at these games with the controller. I would D pad the ____ out of these games.

When I pick up a wheel it will more than likely be this one.

Are you getting this next week?

That wheel looks awesome, but I doubt I'll be getting this game at all. GT has always been an excellent game, but I just lost interest in this one because of the delays. There's a lot of other A list games out right now that I'm going to be playing.

I plan on getting the game. I was looking at that wheel but thought it would be nice to get something that works on both 360 and PS3 but only one I found was $350, but its pretty bad azz.

I may just get a PS3 only wheel and just always get car games for PS3.

I purchased my collector's edition through Amazon with same day release shipping. I checked Amazon to see if I had a tracking number. Amazon still hasn't shipped it yet. I contacted Amazon by phone and the guy said that it is in the shipping process, but can't say if it is going to arrive today the 24th. After the phone call ended I was like, what the hell! Either it is going to ship or not. Just give me a straight anwser. I hope I still am going to it today, but this is rediculous.

IGN

8.5/10

https://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1136103p1.html

Gran Turismo 5 is a 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 game – it’s driving is as exhilarating as anything that’s gone before, and its slavish obsession with the minutiae of many of its cars ensure it's an encyclopaedia of automotive delights. Its brilliance on the track, however is matched by its sloppiness off of it, and there’s a lack of polish that would at one time have seemed sacrilegious to the series. Ultimately its driving wins out to ensure that it’s still a great game, but it leaves that nagging doubt; this could have been a masterpiece were it not for the fact that Polyphony was so absorbed with the detail that it took its eye off the ball.

Ouch.....guess it's not the masterpiece we all expected

Looks like forza 3 is still the king of the racers

 

[gypsycatcha]

I wouldnt read to much into ign's reviews if any of there recent ones are anything to go by.

you cannot compare fortza to this legendary game.
played all the fortaza's and trust me this game kills all the racing games out there.

that IGN review is so wrong.
the game never looked better.

best racing game ever made.

Visually the tracks look flat and most of the cars lack detail. I've gone back to play forza today for the first time in ages and it looks and plays brilliantly. I was tempted by GT 5 but generally it sounds like it's a dissapointment so I'll skip it all together and get forza 4, 5 and possibly 6 before another GT is released.

Pretty presumptuous if you have not even played GT5. If that is the case your opinion means nothing.

 

[Ash Housewares]

I don't need to play to know I don't like the look of it. I don't give a crap if my opinion doesn't mean anything to you. I kno I'll be saving 40 quid by going back and playing what I ( and most reviewers ) think is a superior game.

Thank you for making my point.

Racing, graphics, cars: GT5 > Forza 3

Everything else: Forza > GT5

That's the impression I'm getting.
