The positive

[II IVORBIGUN II]

Overall im very happy with the track/car list. The reason is because when PD announced these lists I looked to see what cars/tracks GT5 has to offer. However some members do the reverse and instantly look to see what is missing. My cup is always half full!

The moment im looking forward to the most is an online race with my friends around Nurburgring, at night, in the pouring rain. This will be gaming heaven.

 

[imac_hunt]

The Positive - well the games finally coming out.

27 isn't that bad of a number when you add in the weather effects for the track. To be honest, I think the rest will be made up in the Track Editor. Which, I know everyone thinks of as a gimmick. I think it'll see tons of use when it comes to online racing. The idea of having randomized series, or point-to-point races will be the major draw to it.

Where are you getting 27 tracks from? I counted just over 40 different tracks not counting reverse or the same track with different weather conditions. Did you just count environments? For example Daytona has the speedway and the road course were you counting those 1 as one track or something?

In this way (if you exclude Piazza del Campo, that's 27 tracks):

I remember when they announced "25 locations" and everyone jumped on it saying location couldn't possibly = track, as if we were going to get 80 tracks from 25 countries or something, lol.

 

[final lap]

1080p with 60fps, over 1000 vehicles and online finally. Definitely worth the money imo. And I actually like the standard cars, and Im actually looking forward to driving one. I loved GT4 and couldn't care less if they're ported from it. As long as the handling and variety is there, and its in HD, Im happy.

I'm new to the Gran Turismo series, I'm not a die-hard fan but I don't think that's any bad thing. I was looking forward to having my first taste of Gran Turismo with the fifth installment, but I have to admit that the disappointment of seasoned Gran Turismo players has made me wonder whether I should be buying it, especially when people seem to dismiss this game and start the wait for GT6 already.

The old saying "you can't please all of the people all of the time" springs to mind reading some of the negative comments on here, there are always going to be some that winge about anything.

I can't think of anything negative, certainly not until I've played the game. I'm a die-hard GT fan and have played it since day one.... a lot, I just can't wait for GT5, I have the week booked off work and it's going to be awesome...

Get the game ordered..... you will love it!!

 

[Stune]

Yeah like I thought that's 27 environments, not 27 tracks to me.

Its fair enough counting them like that, but its not the way i would do it myself. To me thats almost like counting each car manufacturer as just one car and saying Ferrari is one car, Lambo is one car etc.

 

[deluckyirish]

games not out yet.

Speculation

 

[xSNAKEx]

I played the demo at GS for 2 hours straight, the employees were laughing at me. All I kept saying was damn the physics are so good. I did not care about anything but driving the cars so much fun. 👍

I'm the same man.
I freaked out over GT academy demo to the point I was hysterically giggling myself from happy at how good the physics were, and I kept repeating to dad omg the physics are so good, even though I full well knew he doesn't care!

It is pretty much the only thing that makes or breaks a racing for me these days, to the point that I won't even touch a driving game that has bad physcis.

That statement however means I dont play ANY racing games at all, and the only one that I haven't played is I-racing. Live for speed, R factor, GT5P and Forza 3, IMO the physics are way off.

They all have their realistic aspects to the physics, but then other dynamics of it that just don't feel right to me. Gt5 felt like a gran unified theory lol.

However the bottom line is, I'm estimating 98% of all the people that will play GT5 have no clue what physics are nor do they care for them or get enjoyment out of that, and this great majority of people will be judging the game on purely graphics, sound, music and various gimmicks within the game that adds to their enjoyment.

Actually I think to most people good physics will make them dislike the game more.
If there was no standard physics option I bet most people would get fed up with the game and not play it because "it sux" not realising the realistic behaviour of the cars is not as fun to them becasue you cant just boost around a corner holding a dirction pull of a mad drift.

You can see people dont care about physics in racing games. Just look at the crap thats out there like all the NFS, Burnout, Split second, Blur, Midnight club DUB V special X edition, off the top of my head, I'm sure theres like 500 other popular retarted games as well

 

[jimftr]

It's just moan, moan and moan with you people isn't it. Seriously, just shutup, Gran Turismo 5 is just like GT3, and GT6 will be just like GT4, in the sense that it will add more content. I for one, have a pre-order waiting for me, and i can't wait to unbox my copy on release date and get straight into the career mode and perhaps have a few races with friends online.

We may have to wait until GT6 to get a lot of the features we thought we were getting, but for me the positive is that GT5's framework promises to be extremely good. Physics, sound, extensive online, track generator and wide choice of cars (even if 800 are gimped).. It's a combination no other game can offer and it's why the game is still a bargain IMO.

 

[Sprite]

My expectations are still high for what will be a very good game. So if we have a few cars missing or some tracks absent, there is nothing stating that we won't get these via download just like prologue. It will be a fantastic game.

Exactly, I'll have loads of fun, Won't you?

 

[ffusion]

You're right, I think people shouldn't judge the game untile they play it.
Yesterday I search for all the premiums and they are almast all amazing!! And many of them could probably have race modifications!

Be positive about this game,and it only costs as much as any other **** games!

I'm pretty sure I could add more to the list. Sorry If I've left anything out. If this list isn't enough to make you excited for the game, then I don't know what will. I would like to see someone make a list of disappointments equal in size with legit complaints.

 

[Prodigy122]

I second that. As for me, I am really a big fan of the online feature, track editor and the massive car list. Yes, the car list. I mean it has over 1000 cars and so what if 800 are standard and nearly 200 are Nissan's? It is still more cars than we have ever seen in a video game, let alone a racing simulator. I understand and agree that it seems that all the odd number GT's are better, but take what you're getting in this game and stop complaining as this is going to be a great game too.

Yeah!! I'm with you! I went out from this forum very angry yesterday because the most common word there was disapointed.. I'm excited tough!

 

[Jules_r]

I went out from this forum very angry yesterday because the most common word there was disapointed..

Yes, I felt the same, I don't want to read any of that stuff... it's going to be amazing!!

 

[Jc2006]

Yeah!! I'm with you! I went out from this forum very angry yesterday because the most common word there was disapointed.. I'm excited tough!

Yeah, it was quite demoralising. I'd seen the car list and the track list, I'd updated the gaming forum I'm part of and I was genuinely looking forward to this game but then it started to feel like everyone wasn't too keen on it and that all the air was being let out of the balloon, but as I said earlier, I can understand people had their own expectations and that, you know.

I do actually have the standard GT5 on pre-order, that's not a downgrade, I actually just chose that version and hopefully, it'll be delivered on release date. If I do decide to race in the wider online environment, I'll be checking the positivity thread in particular for extra people to race with.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to driving the Premium DB9, the AC Shelby Cobra, the Standard Jaguar E-type and if the Mustang Mach 1 is the original shaped Mach 1, then I want to drive that too.

EDIT:

Seems the Mach 1 will likely be the newer design, so I probably won't drive that now, I prefer the earlier design to the later

 

[ffusion]

People who has the leaked copy didn't tell us anything about Photo Mode or Track Generator and I spect great things of both.

And finally, who thinks PD was doing ALL the cars EVERY people likes in this forum?? It's imposible..

Its nice to hear someone positive, i had to leave the forums last night because of all the negative responses, and blabber. I have my preorder ready andhave four days off from work, i am grateful i will have the game that will be the best on any platform.

So after i left the forums i went and got me a playseat and driving force G25, i am hyped and nobody will get me down, today i am going to get a surround sound to my LED 46in 1080P. I am ready and thankful too PD for this masterpiece.

Lucky you!! Mine is "only" 37'' LCD. I also have Home Cinema but in another room and can't change it so I can't use both toghether

 

[Hereward]

One statement above all else matters.......It's the latest Gran Turismo game.......enough said.

Saw all this negative stuff on the forza forum pre release of it, people getting so ate up about the tiniest of things culminating in posts of "I've cancelled my pre order" and "boycot team 10 by not buying the game" and no doubt as the 11 day counter ticks down the GT5 fever will grow and we'll see these kind of posts here.

Keep the posertive vibe going, perhaps even make a list of members who claim to have cancelled there pre order so we can laugh at them when we see them on the track in 2 weeks time LOL

Sounds like a good idea, they will be screaming like little girls when they unox the game and it starts up with the whole family in the room on thanksgiving, and they were the ones complaining. keep it positive most definately.

 

[monkeyalert]

I've been waiting for GT5 for five years and following GTP-forum for 3 years. Finally took courage to register..

So anyway. Most important thing is, that the Game will be out soon. It is so exhausting to watch people whining some track lists and that 700 of cars will be japanese.. and delayings and so.

But, why people forget to look at positive sides. We'll have have a most anticipated racing game ever, with exceptional physics and graphics, and indeed very nice carlist. And tracks.. I can't blame them either, enough for me.
People should play the game first, and then give their comments, now it's other way around.

For me, it's fulfillment of a dream.
