OFFICIAL GRAN TURISMO 5 THREAD

Damn, looks like LeMans '99.....

You're right about dirt and snow tracks, those are great fun. I almost feel like they should make another version for the american market, I'm sorry but a Japanese classic car race is simply not interesting to me at all. Neither are all these dinky little cars they put in the game. Who the heck wants to race a Prius?

 

The Japanese classics are pretty cool if you ask me. First off, they're classics, and I believe classics (not just Japanese, but from everywhere else) have a place in Gran Turismo. Second, they don't have 20 different variants.

The problem with the different variants begins with Japanese cars from the 80s, on a small scale. By mid-80s, its growing. Then, when it goes to the 90s, it jumps dramatically.

Some of the cars, however, need to be cut from the game, like the Prius. Others, they just don't need to have 20 different variants.

 

Agreed, I just find those Japanese classics races a bit boring. The classic muscle car races, for example, are cool cause the cars don't handle that well and move a round because of the big engines and big torque. Many of the cars in the game have to go. To me, if you wouldn't want to drive it in real life, why the heck would you want to drive if in a game?

 

Could we be getting something other than a Nissan as DLC soon?

Looks like the Aventador isn't anything new after all.

 

Damn. I really wanted another GT-R. I

 

I DL'd the camo'd C7. Inspecting it closely it looks more like a camo'd C6. Handled pretty much the same too. Crap...

 

The C7 will be the next DLC tomorrow, not sure on Willow Springs Raceway but I'd say at the end of the month.

I'm a little late to the party but I just got my PS3 & GT5 & Thrustmaster

teaching my son to drive on it

Its addictive

 

In other news, can we expect the new NSX concept as DLC soon as well? Or will PD give us the recently released 2014 GT-R instead?

Also, if you look closely, you can see some new tracks, such as an updated Seattle Circuit and Apricot Hill, as well as a track based in the Ginza district in Tokyo.

$20 says we get the 2014 GT-R instead of these tracks (Willow Springs too) and the NSX concept. We all know PD too well.

 

Does anyone know if there are any GT5 racing leagues with organized racing in the US? Apex looked great, but the UK times don't work. The other leagues I saw also seem to be in Europe. Are there any in the US?

 

Well dont be. I've just retired from GT4, after racing over 40,000 kms.

I will get a PS 3 this Christmas and GT5

 

I still play it, not as often as I used too. The online challenges events still make it interesting.

 

For some reason I woke up this morning really needing to play some GT5, after looking at the cost of the PS4 and Xbox One and the Senna content for GT6.......I've got myself a new PS3.
