Delete GT5 pre installing GT6?

[Mulan]

Just wondering, can it be good to do so? Is there any need of GT5 after GT6??? Space is Always good to have too.

I'm going to delete the GT5 installed data before I install GT6's data.
I see no point in playing GT5, given how I feel it's a flop (even though I like to play it).

Want to drive a Ferrari F10 or F2007?

The only thing I can think of is for the Top Gear Test Track or if you have friends that still play it.

You can just delete the installed data and drive them by reading purely from the disk.

I will not remove GT5 unless/until I need the space. I see no reason to remove it if there is plenty of space available.

So you're not wondering about deleting the gamesave too?

If you plan to no longer play GT5 and also have a full memory drive you should just delete it.

 

[Rage Racer]

I will, because I have a hunger for space on my 40GB HDD.
But I'll keep the savegame, of course.

 

[Foxiol]

I won´t be deleting GT5 so I can make some comparisons once I have GT6 installed.

Also with 120GB free on my HDD I don´t care about space really. (I have like 20 PSN games installed already)

Yes, this is smart. I have little HD space left too. But it feels like i will miss out on something if i delete.

I did not hesitate to delete GT5 from my PS3 as soon as GT6 was announced. I've felt this way for a long time, but GT5 has no redeeming qualities to make it worth keeping and I honestly won't miss it. GT6 makes it totally obsolete, unless you care about driving on the TGTT.

You won't. If you, as said by others, don't plan on playing GT5 after GT6's out, you can delete the gamedata. And even if you want to play GT5, say, some time next year, you can, as also mentioned, simply have the data read of the disc. Now I'm personally going to delete my gamedata, and keep my savegame. If you have a small harddisk, it's at least a good idea to do as me and many others.

 

[Jarnac]

Make a backup of savegame for use in case of HD failure.

 

[Mulan]

Great, then i will delete it too, a nice preparationritual in the waiting for GT6 to arrive.

 

[lintels123]

Delete the install, yes. Game save, nope.

How does that work? Next time he loads up gt5 it'll prompt him to install..

 

[Guffaluff]

I have already done some clean up on my 60gb PS3, included was the removal of the GT5 gamedata. I don´t see myself going back to it post-GT6, so I didn't see any reason to keep all those GB's on my space-cramped PS3 . I keep the savegame of course, and if for some reason I want to play GT5 again, I can install it again (if I have the space) or simply run it from the disc.

 

[Streeto]

I had to delete mine for space (40gb fatty), but I haven't played GT5 in nearly 3 months so...

 

[matticus88]

I'm keeping it on my system simply becuase my PS3 ha splenty of spare space so i don't feel the need to delete it.

whatttttt where did the top gear test track go?!?!?! I didn't even pay attention that it's not on the GT6 track roster... that's sooooooooo lame

 

[racingchamp30]

I will be deleting my GT5 save and game data since we can't transfer our cars or money to GT6.

 

[raven214]

It was neat to have, but did you ever really use it? I used it occasionally to test cars or pretend I was doing a lap in a "reasonably priced car" but that was about it.

 

[SF Monza]

I can't let go of it, not yet I'm still not ready to say goodbye. Games have come and gone since 2010 yet the only game I've played on a regular basis is Gran Turismo 5. I will go back to 5 as I have done with GT2 from time to time but I can delete battlefields and call of dutys Shifts and even a load of my beloved fallout but Gt5 still has a place in my heartdrive

yeah I actually used it quite often
trial mountain and top gear test track were my go to tracks to test out my cars

 

[Snake1405]

I haven't yet the GT5's platinum.

 

[NOSWaster]

I wouldn't dare delete my game save. It's tiny.

How does that work? Next time he loads up gt5 it'll prompt him to install..

He can always decline.

 

[Streeto]

Yeah there's no reason to delete your save, just the game data.

 

[Aphelion]

I will keep it, i mean, i got 500 gigs, i realy dont need to delete it. and i can tell that if i did i kick myself later on!
