THE Gran Turismo thread.
 

Well, it's inevitable. GT5 is going to come out within the next year and the suspense is killing me like a fat kid waiting for his cake. Prologue is set to release in October this year and their will be online play. I'm really excited to use the new wheel with gearbox, in-car views, 16 cars vs. old school 6 cars per race, EVERYTHING. I have nothing else to say...until later.

Here's the latest update on it from ign.com

It's like waiting for the next transformers movie haha!

i doubt it will come out within a year

anyone remember GT for the PSP ?

damnit....my brother is taking his ps3 to his dorm this year

My guess is late 08, so a year from now. That's a pretty educated guess. If I was going to go towards the unrealistic side, I'd say Spring 08. But I know that's not gonna happen.

The fact that Prologue is coming in Oct, means they are pretty far along in development. And Prologue is also a Online Demo of sorts to see how their online system holds up.

Kinda like what they just did with the Halo 3 demo.

true true but we will see

they can always run into problems

i hope the drifting is like in gt3 and not like in gt4

The only thing I'm going to hate about online play is, no matter how confident I am with the game, there will always be those prick hacker/cheater players to taint with online record.

And about the drifting, I'm sure it's not going to be like GT3. It was a bit improved though if you tried out the GTHD demo. I wasn't digging the scoring system with the distracting sounds and flag display, but waaay better than GT4 that's for sure.

AND, PD usually does. ;)

Which is why I'm sticking with my concervative date og Holiday Season 08.

I'm pretty good with making educated guesses when it comes to the game industry.

I made a $100 bet with my uncle Wii would surpass 360 worldwide by September.

And well:


360
0.43M Japan
6.69M America
3.31M Others
10.43M
Wii
41.7%
3.39M Japan
4.15M America
2.87M Others
10.41M
41.6%

Right now Wii is selling 200k more units/week then the 360. So by Next week it's a done deal.

Yesterday he asked me where I wanted my gift certificate at?

That's why you form a small league like I do and only race with this people. This way you avoid "the douche".

wii sucks

i could care less how much it sells

but lets look at the software sales lol

people buying wiis are parents for their little kids :)

Huh...almost everyone one of my friends have one...Almost non of them are parents or kids. I'm certainly neither.

We won't get into that debate though. :)

naw we wont.

im just a big wii hater lol

I'm down to create a Zilvia GT league!

I'm sorry that you do not have the skill and hand control to master the art of Wii golf..Maybe if you keep practicing

I've been playing Live for Speed recently at my friends and holy hell...I want that exact thing with more people and all of the GrandTurismo courses. Shit is f'n sweet. Just not a lot of cars or courses. Handling dynamics are pretty accurate though

id rather play a realistic golf game on my ps3 or 360

^^ actually, the wii sports golf game is pretty fun.

To stay on topic tho, i hope they have the nomenclature for the nissans right this time. For GT3 and GT4, they had the S13 fastback named the "240sx" when it was a "turbo" car AND it was rhd. I know it's a small detail to overlook, but it urks me! I know it's not gonna happen, but that'd be awesome if they add the zenki 180sx. PIGNOSE FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hhee, realistic as in using a anolog stick to swing a club rather then making a actual swinging motion? heheh.

Ok, lets stop now.

I've been a Nintendo fanboy ever since well...I was a boy. I own both 360 and Wii, and I'll be buying a PS3 as soon as MGS, GT, and GTA4 come out.

Wii is fun though. I love the fact it has the virtual console so I can buy all my old favorites.

i think this was about gt5 and not about the nintindo wii.
as soon as i finish my car, i think ill have to buy a ps3 just for that game, does anyone know if there will be customization to cars other than wheels?
like on other game systems?
the graphics are the best ive seen in a driving game, but i could honestly car less about driving ferrarri, im not tyrign to be a hater, but it is nice to have more cars to choose from and 16 peope to race against other than just 6 is cool too.

i thought GT4 sucked ass. IMO forza was way better. not looking forward to GT5

they have not revealed that fully at this point. To answer your question.

Good link!

I WILL be buying a PS3 for this game. I just REALLY hope they get the sound right this time. The cockpit view looks cool, itll be the closest thing ill ever get to driving a ferrari or caterham. Im excited though!

Forza was WAAAY too easy. Forza 2 was alright, but still easy.

i always thought GT4 was the easy one compared to forza or 2

you can wall ride every turn, very unrealistic.

^^^ why would you wallride a turn anyways? attempting to drive unrealistically is defeating the purpose of "simulation." I'm sure you can wallride, knock AI's offtrack, take shortcuts in Forza also.

try to wall ride in forza and u will see realism.

I bet most of you guys who say GT4 sucked played with a controller. Its a simulation game, it is recommended you play with the Logitech Driving Force pro. And Forza and Forza 2 was horrible. Cant wait till GT5 comes out. ONLINE BABIIIE!

Actually I played it with the logitech.

It didn't SUCK, it was an alright game, but it's really just lost a lot of it's luster after 5 iterations of the SAME game with new cars. It's like the difference between Madden 07 and Madden 08. It's still the same shit just prettier. They need a lot of help in this respect.

Forza I think was just overall more FUN.

Maybe the graphics sucked, and maybe the car selection wasn't all it could be, but I'll be damned if that isn't one of the most fun games to play online (if you can find a good group of people).

Either way, as a racing fan, I look forward to every racing game with unnecessary optimism.

well i just got my ps3 60gig so, im set. aka blueray player + 300 the movie + 1080p = gangsta.



20 gig is dead and 60gig is discontinued. replace with 80gig with emulated ps2 price shoots back to $600. it might be awhile again before it drops.

FUCK YES for getting to drive Brands Hatch.

damn.... GT5 already? with all the bullshit with GT4 coming out this will most likely be out early 08. its all good though cause i'll most likely have a PS3 by this time.
