I’ve played all the GT’s except 2,Concept and Psp, and I am really looking foward to this, hopefully it’s better than GT5 Prolouge, which wasn’t that fun for me since I have Dial-up and can’t use PSN on my PS3

I never really played racing games until I got Motorstorm Pacific Rift. Now I’m really looking forward to Gran Tourismo 5. Eighty tracks and 1,000 cars will be sweet! Personally I don’t care about customization, I want to race, not tinker around in menus.

Maybe they will find some other solution than slowing down your car for 5 seconds every time you hit a wall or a fence in online multiplayer. It’s one thing to punish players with road rage, it’s a totally different thing to make it even harder for the ones who happen to graze the rails.

Since I never owned a Ps2 , i missed out on this series, but since I got the ps3 60gb I bought gt3 used at gamestop.. But I didn’t play it much . This is a great article and makes me want to get gt5 SO BAD!
I did notice tht u dent mention GTPSP which should really impress
also GT Concept is not the psn anymore because of prolouge.

Don’t get me wrong, 1000 cars but no customisation and limited car damage is kind of pointless. The only advantage GT5 has over Forza 3 is the superbe graphics.

The fact that GT5 has 1000 cars and Forza only 4-500 really leaves me cold. Are we looking for quality or quantity? Are the 1000 cars the reason they repeatedly postponed GT’s launch? I would have LOVED if GT5 let you customise the cars.

Keep in mind that a lot of those 1000 cars may end up being compact Suzuki’s and Daihatsu’s, just like in GT5 Prologue. 600 cars and 400 60HP compacts? No, thank you!

yeup, and HD Concept was a really cool freebie, it was like an extended demo. I was confused at the time though, I thought the next full game would be out shortly after that, and haven’t heard anything more until recently. Since my last GT game (3) got taken by someone at college, theres been a gaping void in my games collection. This should fill that nicely. Nice article!

Nice write up and comparison. You did forget to mention GT: HD Concept though. When in the first year of the PS3, Polyphony Digital planned a business model to where they give you a base number of things and you have to pay for more cars and track and such. They were met with huge criticism over this and thus made GT: HD Concept available on the PSN for free on Christmas Eve 2006 with something like 16 cars and 1 track. You can still download it today.

personally, i dont really like the GT series because of 10min races and licence stuff that put me off. i prefer the crash the wall and drift to nitro of need for speed. great editorial though!

GT 1 & 3 were my favorites so far. Prologue had it’s moments till people started bumping in the last turns.
GRID was/is a great racer in my opinion too. When you reach the 24 hour LeMans race with a million dollar car, and your in the zone… doesn’t get much better than that. the muscle cars are pretty bad ass too.
Hurry up GT5!

no write up. I love the evolution pix. This might be the game to push the graphics
