Don't you mean "list of people still waiting for this nebulous blob of vaporware to actually hit shelves?"

[tigersharkdude]

drops tomorrow MOD. The stores already have them. My gamestop actually has them displayed in a case to tease people

Don't you mean "list of people still waiting for this nebulous blob of vaporware to actually hit shelves?"

Followed by the "list of people soon to be horribly let down by how boring the game will be after the honeymoon period is over". After getting into iRacing, I couldn't wrap my head around how Gran Turismo continuously fails to deliver a product that even remotely resembles driving a real car. I mean, they take forever to put the product out, you figure they would use that time to generate something that comes close to the "driving simulator" that they pose as.

iRacing is epic.

Well, when I play Super Mario, it's not anything like actually jumping on a Goomba and smooshing it's brains.

Edit: LOL FAIL!

[Razi]

Actually...

[tigersharkdude]

Compared to any other game, gran turismo is more realistic than any of them. Forza 3 was nice, but GT5 looks like its going to kill it

[PoorManQ45]

I stopped caring about GT5 about 2 years ago when they released all those trailers and nothing came of it.

The one thing I love about the GT series is the tunability. I'd literally spend hours fine tuning everything for individual tracks.

Does iRacing have this feature in the abundance that the GT series offers?

Gran Turismo is equally as realistic as Forza, in that neither of them are in the vicinity of realistic. Saying one is more realistic than the other, when they have no sense of realism in the first place, is like trying to argue which crack whore is cleaner than the other or which 240Gen member is smarter than the other.

[skydragoness]

Actually...

OH SNAP.
I have a sentimental attachment to the GT series ever since i picked up my first copy for the PS1.
So I'll get it. Eventually. Need a PS3 first which I still find unappealing.

[ProudNissanFreak]

ObliviousSeeker. Picking mine up tomorrow morning.

[Dattebayo]

Actually...

DAMN RAZI! The pic I saw didn't have that in it. That's stupid.

[Razi]

But yeah, I hope GT5 has better physics than GT4 and GT5 Prologue.
GT3 was actually better than GT4, driving wise.
GT5 Prologue's driving sucks as well.

I'm on there somewhere, pickin it up hopefully tomorrow. My local game store was supposed to get them today but some delay happened..yeah.

I won't be getting mine for a while, but I will get it.

It's a video game, not a simulator. But I enjoy it.

Nothing beats time in a real car, but play-driving on tracks that are very true to life is cool.


Also, its now winter in MN, I will be unable to emerge from this warm cave into ice hell for a few months. I may as well waste it on a video game...


unless there is snow on the road, then I will risk frostbite and hypothermia to drive like the worlds slowest WRC driver. At night, away from people obviously.

[PoorManQ45]

I'll pick the game up when you guys beat it and sell it on amazon for $10

[krash]

lol no one sells gran turismo.

Not TOO excited about it, but I'll get it.

[themadscientist]

I enjoyed GT2. I had the baddest GTS-T you could build, a real bruiser. My Mustang was the killer though. I could run the GT touring cars' d!ck in the dirt with that blood red killing machine. Life has a way of making games trivial wastes of time that become collectors of dust. I'd much rather talk to your losers.

[zer0c123]

I haven't owned a GT game since GT 2. Hope GT5 won't disappoint me. hmmm thanks to weather, it seems i won't be playing it tonight.

I ordered from amazon because they are offering a $10 credit for a future game purchase. Plus I had an extra $20 credit from getting COD: black ops through them.

All 100% true

Wow Ive never heard of a game that delayed so long. It better be so good it comes as close as possible to giving feltio.

It will be the end of GT if its no good..

Starcraft 2 took much longer...

[Razi]

StarCraft and StarCraft 2 fill a space in my heart that no GT game ever could.

[Speedy7_7]

I played it for a few hours today with the the logitech gt wheel and a nice ebay racing seat we built a mount for last week. I really really enjoy it, it starts off pretty darn slow, but so does every other GT game. I popped into my buddies game and spent a few thousand credits on a used s2000. Then I spent a few more thousand on some goodies. It felt great, good body roll, realistic braking, the only fault I could think of was the under-steer seemed exaggerated and when it over-steered I had a hard time letting go of the wheel (even though I should have) it just felt strange to have the power feedback spin the wheel.
All in all, I really really like it so far. I should really buy it for myself

[Razi]

I heard there's a big noticeable difference in model quality between the standard and premium cars, is that true?
And brake upgrades aren't available yet. :[
Hopefully the patches will come out soon.

[Speedy7_7]

The standard cars are noticeably different. But they are upgradeable, and the upgrades do make a huge difference. Brake upgrades would have been welcome. But with the sport soft tires and no traction control/ABS, the car locked up and would slide through corners if you weren't careful. I don't see the brakes being an issue until the cars can be made a lot more powerful, and only with racing tires on.
The car I was goofing off in was 309 HP with the height adjustable suspension and lightweight drivetrain parts.
I will have to see how the premium cars handle, but I was only on level 5 (you level up as you race) and faster, premium cars were only available for higher levels.

I do have to say, the Go-Kart racing was really fun. The wheel made it feel like you were driving a little shifter cart. Wading through the tedium seems like it might take a while, but it all feels well worth it. I haven't seen any of the realistic damage so I can't comment on that. All in all, I would say that this is the best Gran Turismo made to date, and I thought that prologue was really underwhelming. I also enjoyed 3 more than 4. This may take some getting used to, but my first impression is very positive.
First impression rating would be a 9/10.

[Razi]

Awesome.
I look forward to playing!

[tigersharkdude]

Played for about 3 hours today. Currently rocking an S15 with ~320hp. Its awesome. I have like 8 cars and killing it. Was expecting better graphics (at least comparable to GT5P, but the standard cars look like GT3&GT4 cars) but the game play makes up for it

[asoomal]

Can't do brake stands <_<

[ADDirishboy]

f*** GT5. Wake me when Diablo 3 releases.
