This game looks really nice, but Gran Turismo just isn't fun to play. You just hug the corners and buy the best gear for your car and you'll win. I'm more looking forward to Burnout 5. Motorstorm prob best racing game available now.

Of course, more mods mean faster car, therefore means higher chance of winning. And all racing game are about hugging the apex and having the lowest time on the corners with the highest exiting speed.

If you need a challenge, enter your modified street car in a race filled with real race cars. Even if you have a huge hp advantage, it's still a challenging race, in most cases.

Don't think there will be a PC version unless another bleem comes along. Shame as they would sell very well. It's Pretty much the only game Id buy a ps3 for (GT4 is more or less the only reason I have a PS2) That and perhaps GTA4, but that will be out on the PC.

If you need a challenge, try racing a semi against dirtbikes and atvs in motorstorm. The game is incredibly fun for a racing game. Gran Turismo is too slow paced. I loved the game just after watching Fast and the Furious for the first time, but I'm over that phase.

In Gran Turismo, the goal is to drive as efficiently as possible. I do that anyway in real life. Timing traffic lights is just as fun as playing GT. Games like motorstorm are even more fun than that.

I don't find the arcade style physics of games like motostorm to be anywhere near enjoyable.

I want realism. I love hitting open track days or the strip in real life, and the GT series is the closest I can get to the track, without actually going. Also, thankfully for me, I was into racing and modifying cars well before the F&F franchise came to be. In fact, I hated the movies.

But none of that really matters I suppose, after all, this is all personal preference, so none of us can actually be wrong.

Well, i've never owned a console... but GT5 looks very very nice. And since SONY refuse to bring this to the PC platform... not even their VAIO models (LOL)... then I guess, reluctantly, I'm going to be a PS3 owner too. That game/simulation is too hot to miss.

Finally! It's the only way I play racing games. The compromise being the bonnet view. Man as said before this is gfx porn. What if someone catches me watching this. As long as I'm not paying for it I;m not a pervert right?:laugh:

And another photo imaging game FTW!


There's something nice about being able to TELL that a game is a game. I don't care after a while, how the car(s) looks from the outside. The only time I'll be seeing that is in a replay anyhow. Otherwise, I'm in the cockpit (and finally, GT with cockpits!) trying to RACE.

As long as I can make out, what type/which car is behind me, from my rearview or side mirrors, then the graphics are good enough :)

If I can see the FORD emblem, I'd better step on it!
