Gamer's Corner: GT5 Review 6 months on

Polyphony have released a slew of patches since Gran Turismo 5 was released. Take a read of this review and see if the game has become what you always dreamed it would be. (Gran Turismo 5, PS3) 10/10

a perfect ten? wehey! I guess GT5 has drastically changed since the last time I played it. I have to admit I was a little disappinted by the graphics and the lack of some anti-aliasing on shadows. Maybe I should give it another go though...

For me, I think the game could have done, as ridiculous as it sounds, with a delay until about now... simply because it's like a totally different game, it's not perfect, but it does so much more right now. That said, if it wasn't released, PD would probably have found more things to change and the game would never come out. I have no doubt Sony stepped in there to get the game on shelves and, really, it's given PD the chance to FOCUS rather than trying to add more and more.

Wonder if the re-reviews will affect the Metacritic score...
Oh wait... It is a PS3 title... no such things allowed...

They allowed in that late 4/10 score from thunderbolt for KZ3.

When have re-reviews ever been allowed on any platform?

I've really enjoyed the game. The 9 patches since release have helped the game alot. Worth a read.
Ethereal  +   797d ago
It's gotten alot better, I would agree. Great game.
bumnut  +   797d ago
So it was perfect before the patches and it is perfect now?

He even moans about the games faults at the beginning of the review and still gives it a 10/10!

"Drivintg games live or die by their handling, so my score at the end will be swayed by this feature. I make no apology for scoring a racing game largely on the way the game handles."

He reviewed GT5 the way it was supposed to be. It should be reviewed as a Driving Simulator because that's the focus of GT. Name another game you can simulate the best in a living room. Not tennis, nor bowling, nor anything because the closest thing to Simulation on game consoles besides driving is Wii fit and things of such.

You refer to it as a both a game and a driving simulator, make your mind up. If rated as the former it's an 8 or 9, the latter? hands down a 10.

he said it have graphical problems and could be solved if the ps3 can handle gt5 but it can't so it's not the game fault , it's the console...

the AI is great in gt5 and you people don't understand it , they are trying to make the AI the most realistic , that's whythey made B-spec , imsure gt6 will make the AAI realistic , they have the idea but they just need more time , the AI in gt5 will have B-spec mode in it , he drive on his mode , each car will be different , it depends on the AI mode like he's mad-happy , he's pro and things like that , this what will happen in gt6 ..

B-spec is great, I made one driver which was kinda crappy. I leveled him up to level 12 and then made another new one which is a better driver than the first one. The first driver kinda got jealous and drive very aggressively and started driving better and won a lot of races.

Thats has to be one of the most stupid comments I have heard.

Wonderful Simulator.

And it will get a lot better with new features.
upturned2  +   797d ago
It has and it will. People didn't even believe it at launch so we shouldn't even expect them to believe it this time around. The 10/10 is no lie. Unless, of course, you prefer anything Forza. Then, of course, 99% of the time, you hate GT5 for not being Xbox/AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

i get back to gt5 from time to time..

and its gotten a lot more awesome

I've got to get back to playing some GT5. The last thing I did was max out and tune my 71 Ford Mach 1 for drifting matches. Before you say anything, I know that its crazy to drift a muscle, but wheres the fun if there isn't a challenge.

GT5 has received roughly 50% more content through patches since release. PD did a great job there.

The driving mechanics are perfect.

I loved Gran Turismo's... But GT5 was disappointing to me, Yeah I got all the updates and they still didn't fix the main problems I have with the game. Don't get me wrong GT5 is a good game, It's just not a great game to me. The developers made to many bad decisions and we the gamers suffers for those choices.

Better late than never. Great review by the way.
