GT5

Anyone out there :?: :p :

I still am. Still great game.

Been twiddling around with the B-Spec side and while it is boring, it does provide some nice prize cars that can be sold for cash :)

Still waiting for the bl@@dy Gran Turismo Open Wheeler to pop up for sale though :angry:

Its always in the online dealership

:up:

I played GT5 for the first time this weekend and I have to say, for all the hype I was very dissapointed. The cars feel like they are floating, the steering has no precision and the A.I is dreadful. It's no better than Forza Motorsport.

F1 2010 has been the only recent racing game that as managed to hold my attention. Even though the handling is a bit arcady you can get to the limit fairly easily, and this makes the online racing so intense.

This is what I've been using as a reference. I hope it helps.

Picked this up again tonight for the first time in months, managed about 30 minutes of play before I gave up, it really is a terrible driving game. For something that claims to be a simulation there is remarkably little input from the driver with the computer not allowing you to control thingsw as simple as opposite lock or even carry out a hanbrake turn. The collisions are completely unrealtistic and there is so little feeling that it's difficult to judge how fast you can actually take corners.

I would far rather play something like Dirt3 or even the beautifully title Supersonic Rocket Powered RC Battle Cars (or something like that) becuase both give me far more enjoyment and feel less steralised, possibly even more realistic. I used to love the GT series but GT4 wasn't as good as GT3 and GT5 is pretty much a waste of £40....in fact this evening I feel like it would be a waste of £5

I played GT5 recently after playing Forza 4 and I couldn't believe how poor it was.

What specifically annoyed me last night was that I kept trying to hold a slide but the computer was deciding how much lock I was allowed to put in, meaning that it just kept spearing me into the barriers. It wasn't even like the Race Driver games where it controls the slide beyond what is realistic, in GT5 it just over-corrects for you....although having done that in a real car I can confirm that the feeling of control in an over correcting situation is pretty similar :D
