I never really kept up with the articles of GT5 except the release date ... but I can't believe they couldn't get the license for Porsche ... I just automatically lost about 20% interest in this game because of that ... not that the game itself is that great ... I think I overhyped it myself

Forza 3 D!

I like the game.. Its good not what every1 was expecting but it has its pros and cons like any game out there.

TG Test track trick..
If you want the top gear test track you first must be at level 4.. You race the vw van and top 3 u get the tg test track in ur worlwide section. AI in this suck bad all u have to do is in every corner brake late.. Dont worry it can take it.. Just dont hit the cones of the cars too hard..You should be in 3rd place by the end of the lap.. You can only get first if you blow past the AI in the last 2 corners.

Also the horn button in the very left red button of the 5...

I drove the older Rx7 and added the full exhaust system.. Was playing front car view and the sound was pretty loud then I went to outside car view and my subs would shake the house while the car was idling... LOL its soo freaking loud in the game..

I also love the fact you can guy used cars.. Makes the game more interesting.

UNFUCKINBELIEVABLE


I buy the game last night, but got home very late had to sleep for work early so only got to install it about 40 minutes and play 5 minutes.... So this morning I'm going to work and my boss calls me says no work today, so all excited I powerslide through the snowy streets back to my house load it up AND MY FUCKIN SAMSUNG LCD CRAPS OUT ON ME!!!!!

shit won't turn on, called Samsung they said power supply is most likely fried. where's that fuuuuuuuuuu GIF face when I need it

[gilly]

^ u sir... got owned.

[ilvtofu]

I'm so confused what just hpd. Racing in my 94 Sti
Front left tire was heating up really bad. I didn't notice until I looked at the meter
Car drives normal and still handles really good. Switch to outside view and it's smoking...

Sooo realistic this game..

I am sorely soley disappointed with this game and it seems like the things that needed dire attention in GT4 creep their ugly head back into the franchise. The load times when you add parts to your car after you buy them is something that was unforgivable in GT4. Before, I circumvented this by buying all the shit I need on my car without installing it, then going into a race and going to the car settings to upgrade my car without any loading time between putting on each part. Why the fuck is there a load time putting mods onto a car when you install it from the point of purchase and not when you add them on at the track?? The load time are back again and It's 10-15 seconds of wait time, and I don't remember having to do all this waiting in GT3. I've already installed the game on the harddrive and it still takes a while to load. What I hated about GT4 returns again in this game such as the oil changes and the car washes. I don't care to see virtual men wiping my car down or getting under the car to change the oil. If I wanted to watch my oil get changed, I would have went to my mechanic.

The second thing that really disappointed me is how the game freakin' looks. It looks so dated and shitty. The lane markings around corners are still not a curved line and edges that are supposed to be curved are still constructed of straight edges. I thought we are in modern enough times that true curved surfaces can be drawn. Curved surfaces was already the norm when quake 3 came out and that was over 10 years ago. The cars look like shit and you don't even really need to look close to the models in game to notice. They just jump out at you like a sore thumb. The window frames around the car look pixelated as if it was a small texture being stretched out over the car. The shadows around the car before the game start jitters and they tear. Why is this the way it is? This is a PS3 we're talking about and it does not have the limitations that a PS2 has. For the developers to delay the game because it didn't look good, they sure have a shitty sense for quality. The game was delayed because they didn't think that the track on Nur had the correct graffiti well, there are more important things in the game they should have looked for like broken textures.

Sure the game is higher definition but it looks like they basically ripped all the cars from GT4 and just stuck them in GT5 and gave them a gloss over. The tracks look sharper but it wasn't anything to go home about. It still looks like an HD version of GT4.

The game is pretty monotonous as it always has been and having to race against a shitty AI that is like hitting a brick wall when you crash them in the tail just adds insult to injury. I mean the AI is as dumb of a fuck as it’s always been and still crash into you like you’re not there. The AI can slow you down when you’re in contact with them but it doesn’t seem to slow them down. They can tap you in the back and I’d lose control but when you tap them in return they are just going about driving in their own line like they were on rails. This is complete and utter bullshit. It’s like playing GT3 all over again but with all the flaws of GT4.

The worst part about this game is the EXP system to get newer cars and to go into newer races. Who the fuck thought it was going to be a good idea to turn this into Final Fantasy? If I have the fucking money to buy an FD, I should be able to buy a fucking FD and not have to get to level 5 to fucking buy it. It doesn’t end there, when I do reach level 5, the fucking car is GONE from the used dealership. This is supposed to be a fucking simulator not a fucking RPG. If I go to a Car dealer with the appropriate funds, is he going to say “oh you’re not high enough level to buy this car, sorry GTFO”? Fuck, no. So why are they imposing this shit that I can’t buy a used car built in the 90s because it’s level 5? That’s some bullshit right there. If I have enough money I should be able to buy this fucking car. If the experience system applied to what race you can go into then I’d understand but this is buying a fucking USED CAR. If this were a Ferrari or some shit I would understand but common, it’s a fucking car under 300 horsepower that’s based on a chassis designed in the 80s.

Where does this game go really wrong? The licensing system. The game requires me to go through this AGAIN before I can do the upper level races. WHY ARE THERE TWO REQUIREMENTS NOW TO RACE. LICENSING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO FUCKING RACE NOT EXP. Jesus. Use one or the other, not fucking two. How would you like it if you have to spend a shit load of time in Final Fantasy Levelling up to fight a tough as shit boss but you didn’t get the license from a town person to go through a cave or some shit to get there to fight the fucking boss?

All in all this game is a polished turd. Not that I’m not a big fan of the franchise for its vast selection of cars, but this game is worse than a rehash. It takes all the annoyances of the previous game and adds more inane “features” to prolong the repetitiveness to the game. Nothing is new in this game; there is absolutely no technical innovation in this game. Online racing and leaderboards? Done before, watching car related videos? Seriously? Is this a feature? I’ve been watching Top Gear years before and this is supposed to be something new? I really shouldn`t need to pay fifty fucking dollars to watch shit I can find on youtube. Making your own tracks? Well that’s sort of new I guess.


If I didn’t get this game as a gift, I seriously would have tried it at a friend`s house first before buying it. I didn`t even go into this with that many expectations. I just wanted this game to get me into the race quicker and at least use some modern way of representing the cars. Once you see the jaggies on the textures of the cars, you can`t unsee them. Fuck. If you have GT4 still, keep playing that. It won’t have a stupid EXP system. 3/10

[ilvtofu]

Finally beat the stupid top gear bus race with 4 secs to spare. Don't know how I did it. Don't think I drove any better though... Had to savethat replay haha. Took me at least 6 tries

Lol got a 1:36.9 in my modded prius from a standing start on tg track. Almost as fast as the stig in the civic type r!
I really like how they get the hybridness down and the car can move without the engine on

you are playing that stupid event so u can..unlock that track?"

[Cman333]

goodbar>>> I totally agree with you!

My gripes

-The shitty AI
-THE MUSIC
-Online play
-No auction system
-Unforgiving gameplay (bump into a car and need to redo race, no rewind)
-Licensing system
-No damage

I think this game is really more about the die hard fans that will dedicate their life to the game. It's not really just a pickup and play game. Almost like a racing RPG game.

Quite a let down for me considering I bought the PS3 when it first came out anticipating GT5 to come out shortly. Had Forza 3 not come out, I probably would've been happy with GT5 because I would have nothing to compare it to.

So what now ...GT6 in what....5-10 years? lol

[gilly]

nice review mrgoodbar

[Fuhrër-Z]

Wow, there's some hate, I haven't even opened mine yet... That was a good review, which makes me sad as you aren't just some troll...looks like there's legit issues with this game.

I agree with people on forza 3 > gt5, but the only reason I'm choosing gt5 over forza 3 is because I can actually play with my steering wheel, whereas the xbox wheel kinda sucks when I had one a year ago...
Posted via RS Mobile

The lack of steering wheel (good steering wheel) is the only reason why I didn't pickup an Xbox360 & Forza3.
Controller vs controller, I actually find Forza3 more fun and enjoyable than GT5 Prologue, but once you get used to playing on steering wheel, you don't wanna go back..

*There is actually the Fanatec Porsche Turbo S steering wheel for Xbox, but even if you are willing to pay the premium price tag, you pretty much can't find it anywhere..

[Hondaracer]

the G25 works pretty awsome with GT, i'll give it that much

[dark0821]

i feel ripped off since i got like 900 cars and like 70 million cr saved up in GT PSP =.= ai.. might as well just finish buying everycar in GT PSP then...

[-EuroRSN-]

^ I havent tried yet but according to the News thing Multiplayer is on extreme lag! Im lv.8 guys hahaha SHITTT

[Dragon-88]

Question: Does anyone mishift from 1st to 2nd at the standing start of a race?? I dont know if its my shifter or the game itself.. Playing PC games it works no problem. But always when playing GT5 even GT5P it had this issue.

[MrGoodbar]

^^ it's this fucking game,

ever notice how when you're on the throttle fully, the beginning of the race the throttle releases a bit even when your foot is glued to the base of the pedal? same issue with the controller, whether it be triggers or button, you hold that shit down like it's your life on the line and the throttle still drops some times.

I will try that, But would any of that have to relate to the TC?

[MrGoodbar]

it has nothing to do with TC. if TC turns on it flashes. and the blue bar goes down if the TCS is in use. this is the RED throttle that gets cut down that tells you how hard your pressing the button

I couldn't agree more with the music. GT4 had great menu music. Why the fuck does GT5 music sound like 90s porn music and Seinfeld?

What else really fucking tweaks me is the first half of the introduction. Why oh why did this game have to turn into discovery channel? I don't give a shit about how the steel was formed into making a fucking econobox.

That's right folks, you get to see metal bits get smelted into steel sheets for the unibody frame of a fucking economy car before you get to see cars that have any sort of place in a racing game. Where is the well known Gran Turismo theme Moon Over the Castle? It returned in GT4, I had the Japanese verson of GT3 which had it. Why did they cut this shit out and replace it with contemporary nonsense?

/rant

Anyone want to buy a slightly used copy of GT5? I haven't even downloaded the preorder cars so it's pretty much brand new

[TOS'd]

Y'all trippin' dis is teh best game ever. EVER>
