Full Feature list of GT5 for those who are complaining already

It seems that some websites are already starting to complain about a game that it isn´t released but the most important thing that everybody seems to forget is that although the game for some may not be perfect because it doesn´t meet their expectation, GRAN TURISMO 5 is the MOST COMPLETE RACING VIDEOGAME in recent history, making those little complains almost not existing when you see how much GRAN TURISMO 5 as a whole offers.

Good to know. This is the list i've been looking for.

ajcastillo5345d ago

Yeah i know, the same happen to me

lociefer5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

lol and they were overcharging mw2 for a some multiplayer modes , if anything , gt5 should sell for 150$ a copy, this is dedicated work

Chubear5344d ago

We all know they weren't GT fans in the first place and many are fans of forza. Yup the same forza that doesn't have half the content of a PS2 game in GT4 but ofcourse no one talked about the lack of cars in that game or the lack of actual proper simulation or the lack of proper damage or the lack of a well structured MP or the lack of graphics for a 1st party studio

no, GT has 5 types of Skyline and doesn't have every single car in existence so - FAIL! but forza, yes, the "definitive" racing sim that has to charge it's fans extra for more cars and still doesn't have the amount of cars in GT anyway.

Yeah, pay over $100 w/ DLC included and still don't have the # of cars in GT but yeah - 9.5 but GT, meh, 9.6.

Gamers this gen are disgustingly stupid and MS love you for it.

SWORDF1SH5344d ago

The flack that Gran Turismo is getting lately is unjustified.

The features and cars (even if half of them are japanese manufatures) this game offers for the price of 1 game is nothing short of amazing and a credit to PD.

Also do people actually think that PD owe them this game. Hating on it because it has taken so long is not a valid reason.

PD does not owe you this game so you will get it when its up to their standard and quality. Why would they rush to get out yearly updates and rushed half arsed games and ruin the name that they have got for quality games.

GT is here and will raise the bar for racing games while others will play catch up I have no doubt and we should be glad that a company that really cares and takes it time to make sure you have a quality game.

acedoh5344d ago

people will be playing for not just days or weeks but months and years. There is so much content it will be hard not to get overwhelmed. Do I work on my own career or do I manage a team? Not only that but an actual online community within itself. This is much more than a game.

SWORDF1SH5344d ago

I take it you haven't seen the bestsellers on Amazon since the date was announced.

Also GT doesn't blow its load on first day sales (which seems to be the thing this gen) and then disappear. It as legs. Check its sales history, it still sells pretty well years after, a bit like San Andreas.
But you already knew this didnt you??

morganfell5344d ago

Complaining about a game like this is nothing new. They did it with Heavenly Sword and they did it with Uncharted. It happens for 2 reasons.

First there are those people that want a game to be exactly their way. And when they don't get that way they have a fit...in a rather public manner. I am not talking about stating "I would have preferred this or that." Such comments are normal. I mean attack or detraction articles where logic was left in the sock drawer.

We are seeing those already.

The other reason we such negative posting is the ever fearful damage control crowd...the anti-PS3 crowd. This is what happened with Heavenly Sword and Uncharted. And to some extent MGS4.

It's called, "If we don't take this behemoth down now we are in danger of getting over run."

It worked with the former two titles quit well. Heavenly Sword was damned out of the gate. "Oh the play time is 17 minutes" or some such idiocy. Not quite that extent but you get the picture.

I played that game through on the hardest available difficulty (a play through is required to unlock the top difficulty). I explored everything. Likely died an average number of times.

But I had been so questioning of the articles I ran a stopwatch on the game. It took me over 11 hours to go through watching every scene. I did the same on HALO 3 on heroic alone and it took just over 10 hours.

As for Uncharted what can I say. A game they managed to keep off of practically every GOTY list. Not even nominated. Yet anyone that has played it knows what that title brings to the game table. Phenominal adventure. It has flaws, sure, but the game is a blueprint for adventure.

Uncharted wasn't assaulted with a frontal attack. They cowards were not idiotic enough to attempt that bit of suicide. Instead it was ignored. And it worked. It took years for the gaming world to look at the title honestly and the price of reality was the sequel.

Now we are seeing the same sort of damage control attempts. No one should be surprised. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

nix5344d ago

this is what u should bring to the table... then u can talk shit!

OT: great list.. it already has 3 games in it... kart, rally and nascar. that's why i'm skipping McRally n Dirt.

SephireX5344d ago

Who cares about what people are saying! This game is amazing and the reviews will show that in just over a week's time. It may have taken a long time, but the foundation is set for future GT games this gen, not that we'll need another GT this gen after 5. People should stop thinking about how long this game is in development and instead start thinking about how long this game will last. Anyway, I'll see you on the track 24th November. My profile is SephirothX21.

very impressive list indeed. But can someone please translate this:

"PS4 200 + 800 + standard cars and cars"

poindat5344d ago

There are 200 premium cars and 800 standards. A very fair compromise between the two, if I may say so.

cygnuszero25344d ago Show
visualb5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

...and the remaining 800 are at an equal quality to all other car models in all other console racing games, thus, meaning that all other console racing games' cars are also unfinished

thus

GT5 is the only game on any console to have "finished" cars

pretty fair deal to me I guess =P

Blitzed5344d ago

His last 15+ comments have been trolling GT5 articles. In fact, save a few comments about console sales, it seems nearly every comment this guy has made is bashing GT5. Lol Looks like someone is a little worried and is putting in some overtime.

Who said anything about Forza or GT trolls? We are talking about an employee of the competition logging on to N4G to do nothing else but attempt to downplay GT5. WTF are you talking about?

BrutallyBlunt5344d ago

Actually the real gamers out there can enjoy both games and not go off on tangents going after Microsoft and thus not playing Forza because of it. I loved Forza 3 and i am buying Gran Turismo 5 the day it comes out.

I guess that means both Sony and Microsoft love me for it.

This is not the way to act maturely, Chubear. If one whines about Gran Tursimo 5 and what it offers dont be a child and take it personally and turn everything into a console wars fiasco.

Reefskye5344d ago

Well its not very mature to say "your only a real gamer if you own all consoles". I own PC and PS3 that's all I need the Xbox doesn't have enough games I want to play to justify the purchase, plus as a PC gamer I refuse to pay to play. Does that make me any less of a gamer than you? of course it doesn't.

Baka-akaB5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

yup this is a silly statement at best , one that keeps being perceived as normal this gen .

Even with the boatload of ps3 titles , personal taste is the major defining aspect for owning a console .

So no people with only a ps3 , or only a 360 arent worst off if they choose it according to their games .
Nor are 360+ps3 better off .. that's only if you enjoy games mostly exclusive on each platforms

BrutallyBlunt5344d ago (Edited 5344d ago )

You dont need to buy every system under the sun to be considered a gamer. Of course not. What i was referring to is how people automatically get defensive and start attacking in all the wrong directions which takes us even further away from what it is we are trying to focus on. In this case its about Gran Turismo 5 and what they have been doing all of this time and whether or not its justified and if its a complete game or not. Not about Microsoft.

Notice how Chubear needs to amalgamate the Forza franchise with Microsoft instead of just focusing on how each game compares to the other if that is what he really wants to do? Did he bring up the Dirt franchise? How about F1? Why not? Why is it all about the XBOX360 versus the Playstation 3 all of the time instead of how each game is?

This is the problem with many here and that is their inability or refusal to focus on one thing. Instead we get a bunch of people who invest too much time and effort trying to discredit Microsoft (or Sony for that matter) any chance they get. So its no longer about Gran Turismo 5 or even racing games in general. It becomes a conglomeration of trying to depict two different sides when we should really be talking about racing games.

So why dont we focus on Gran Turismo 5 instead? Why dont we see if the game offers enough content instead of trying to say 'well Microsoft is evil for coming out with DLC?' Once we focus on what Gran Turismo offers or doesnt offer then it becomes clear that Gran Turismo 5 does have a hell of a lot of content and to me looks to have far more value for $60 than a lot of games. So there is no need to say Gran Turismo 5 offers a lot more value than any game on the XBOX360 or offers better value than Microsoft can offer. That's not only immature and misleading but it leads to nowhere.

rextyrann5344d ago

in my opinion all the comparisons lack something. for me as a "casual" gamer its of no interest at all. i have no problem to out myself as non hardcore gamer. in fact the only games i do play or did play recently were sc2 and some of the ff franchise.

BUT now to my point!
i got my ps3 for 2 reasons and 2 reasons alone (considering gaming). first was ff13 which was enjoyable and second was GT5. so note that: it plainly doesnt matter which game is rated how on which platform. GT fans are CAR enthusiast in the first place! not hardcore GAMERS.
i usually HATE racing games or simulators in general. but i LOVE the gran turismo franchise. for a lot of people its just more than a game...

nobody cares about which plat-side its on. its gt5! its about cars, so ignite ur engines and lets meet up on the track =)

PS: i recon i wont be the only one who got a ps3 solely for this game. pple will be very suprised in a few month after theyve seen the actual impact. im sure of that...

Same here. Especially for someone who doesn't know much about racing games, but is interested, this list REALLY gives me a good idea of what the game offers. Really, all I wanted to see was split-screen, and now I'm sold. But the rest is good stuff too.

PlayStation 3: chasing the 1080p dream, part three - Gran Turismo 5 and the indie explosion

From Digital Foundry: "Welcome to the third part in the biggest DF Retro episode we've ever produced - a year-by-year look at how 1080p gaming fared on the PlayStation 3. Launched in 2007 touting its then-exclusive HDMI digital interface, Sony layered full HD gaming on top of its Cell processor and RSX 'Reality Synthesizer' as key selling points for its third generation console. Of course, we all know how that turned out - both Sony and Microsoft machines routinely ran the most advanced titles at sub-720p resolutions, often with questionable performance, so what happened to the 1080p dream?

In the first two parts of John Linneman's investigation, we've covered off the first four years of the Triple's lifecycle and moving into 2010, the overall fortunes of the PlayStation 3 continued to improve. The platform holder released - what was then - the most advanced motion controller in the console space, backed up by experiments with stereoscopic 3D, which turned out to be a short-lived but still formidable pairing. Combined with a strong E3 showing, PS3 was looking good.

However, it's fair to say that it was a fallow year for 1080p gaming on the system, with only Scott Pilgrim Saves The World's razor-sharp pixel art upscaling, Castle Crashers and Soldner X2's 3D/FMV stylings accommodating full HD output - alongside a wonderful Monkey Island remaster."

ApocalypseShadow1072d ago (Edited 1072d ago )

Just remember ladies and gentlemen, Sony never said all games would be 1080p. Only that the system would support games up to 1080p in a survey before the system was released.
https://spong.com/article/9...
And as we saw, some games did support it, some games tried their best to support it and some games didn't or never reached it.

Is a higher resolution great to have if you can do it? Sure. Is it necessary for a fun game? No

But what I find interesting is Eurogamer. Are they really talking about HD and PS3 in their article or are they really pushing their 4.50 Euros 4K video download subscription? Seems one is being used to sell the other. Just look at the bottom of the article.

Michiel19891072d ago

thats what every company tries to do, push for people to buy their products. Are you really gonna blame them for that?

ApocalypseShadow1072d ago

Not all articles are about selling. They're about informing or entertaining.

Maybe I'm supposed to watch the video instead of reading. But I shouldn't have to click. But the article lazily tells us some games did hit 1080p and some didn't. I didn't learn anything new as I own the console. Then, they push a Patreon subscription.

Are you saying every opinion, preview, review and rant article requires a push to buy something now? Tell me which sites are prone to do so so that I can avoid them in the future.

Michiel19891072d ago

not everyone played during the ps3 era. I started during snes era but loved seeing articles/videos about how gaming evolved before that.

i dont think this article is trying to push you to get that patreon sub, it doesnt for me at least. I dont think theres anything wrong putting an ad at the bottom of the article. all the regular DF videos are free already.

SonyStyled1072d ago

Wipeout HD on PS3, a remake of the PS1 game was 1080p 60fps. And that released in 2007-08

Christopher1072d ago

This really feels like a filler article. I don't feel like I learned anything notable or substantial from this. I feel they could have reduced the unnecessary intro and over-explanation of things and put the whole series in one article for a more substantial and possibly informative piece rather than piece-mealing it out as they have.

dumahim1072d ago

It's more about the video. DF Retro videos are for Patreon members first, and I think the whole thing was one big video. For the youtube channel, it gets chopped up and released weekly.

ApocalypseShadow1072d ago

Chris is actually right on this one. Something known already was just kind of washed over in the article. Unless you're supposed to get more in the video. If more is in the video, then more could have been said in the article.

Only thing I learned new was that they are selling a subscription. My point though is that you gain more viewers by having better articles and content.

What Happened To Gran Turismo?

When thinking about simulation racing games in this console generation, it’s not unreasonable for your first thought to be “Forza”. Microsoft’s first-party sim-racer series has been wildly successful, and for many of us, it’s been the go-to franchise for quite some time. But simulation racing games weren’t always synonymous with Forza; there was a time when Polyphony Digital’s hardcore series, Gran Turismo, reigned supreme. While the long-time franchise continues to sell exceptionally well, there’s no doubt that it isn’t the young, spry series it used to be.

It doesnt suck but I would love to see a return to form with GT7. Sport is such a departure that it can turn some people off. It has gotten better over time but it's still no match for a proper GT7.

Rude-ro2139d ago

Sport is awesome for what it is...
However, polygon built a whole new engine and the tech is still being worked on...
I understand it is easy to praise a cookie cutter because it release the same game over and over with rotations of maps and cars...
But this engine polygon has designed does more for things other than gaming.

Repetitive old engines with new makeup does not make anyone king.

Gt7 will be most likely in two years with 120fps and ray tracing because their new engines are ready now.

Forza has always been better online than. GT and still is. Great to see PD try something different with GTS but let's face it this gen sonys racing games have been poor this then compaired to what Microsoft has had to offer. Forza 7 is one of the best racing games on xbox and pc but for me Horizon 3 and 4 have set the bar this gen. Of all the things microsoft got wrong this gen 2 of its racing games got a lot right and others are now playing catchup.

Did he say gt could turn anyone into a racer? No he didnt, he asked what game has done it like gt has, which is true, gt academy done it throughout gt5 for a start. You need to do some research fella, cause your wrong.. again.

And lmao at element and the downplay, not even similar you crazy man, not even similar🤣 you realise gt has turned gamers into drivers from gt5? Go look at gt academy and tell me how that would be anything like someone playing cod and then joining the army, the downplay in gt articles is funny.

So you think he learned the required skills playing video games? I remember when people claimed children were learning how to operate guns because of video games, do you think that's also true?

IRetrouk2138d ago (Edited 2138d ago )

Two completely different things and you know it, it is a fact that gt has helped real gamers become real race drivers, the proof is easily available online and I'm not going round searching for links that has been posted many, many times before on this subject, Go and look at gt academy like I mentioned and you can see for yourself, they start out on gt and go from there, so yes the game gran turismo teaches you some driving techniques, now if you can find me a link where someone has been playing cod and went on to become a war hero, please let me know because I couldnt find anything, also do you have a link to where cod has a program to train soldiers? Like cod academy or something?, I couldnt find one of those either, maybe when you do then your comparison will actually make sense.

Imalwaysright2138d ago

IRetrouk

You mean the GT academy that provides training and licenses for a person to become a professional racing driver? The GT academy is how you go from being an average driving joe to become a professional racing driver not GT the game.

The usual response from someone insecure that feels their favorite racing game is nowhere near as good as it once was. I really liked Gran and played them all. Loved the Vector from part 2. But the franchise is not the same.

Gaming4Life19812139d ago

Yea Forza took over and is now the best sim racer with motorsport and the best arcade racer with horizon. GT was the best but it has been falling short for a long time and I'm not saying gt games are bad but no where near king like it used to be. I'd say forza motorsport 3 was the forza that really upped the franchise and forza 4 was when forza became #1.

I remember the glory days of gt but those days are long gone but it's still a good game just not the best. Of course ps fans will never admit it because they will die before giving MS credit.

If someone out there in internet land could make a decent PS3 emulator imagine what Sony could actually do if they put the time and effort in to make this happen for their next console?

It's definitely not impossible as we can see here. It should definitely be done since BC seems to be very important to Sony this next gen. Imagine PS+ free game offerings from Sony that could include the whole catalog from the PS console family..fantastic.

Silly gameAr2176d ago

Why waste time and money on it? Some people want to move forward, not go back.

Eonjay2176d ago

It's not a deal breaker but having the feature would be amazing. I would rather have it than not have it.

gangsta_red2176d ago

Not everyone feels that way and if Sony is making an issue of supporting PS4 games for PS5 why not support their other past games for people who still have them or a means to buy them and play them.

KwietStorm_BLM2176d ago

You literally just said some people. So I'd imagine you can comprehend that there's a larger subset of people not in that same "some" group. PlayStation used to be known for backward compatibility. Xbox made a big deal about support for their entire catalog. What's the issue with PlayStation, who has an even more substantial history in gaming, tapping into that market? We don't have this problem on PC. It's only a good thing for consumers to be able to bring their games with them through generations on console.

Silly gameAr2176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

@kwietstorm

Yes, I said some people. What I said was MY opinion. I'm one of those people that couldn't care less about bc, but im not saying ALL people don't care about it. I think they should spend that time and energy for future features and games, but like I said, that's only my opinion.

Imortus_san2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

Not every body trows their games way every time the new gen cames along, and everybody that likes games like to be able to play their favorite games in the best possible way.

The question is would the return on investment be worthwhile? Are the number of additional consoles PS3 BC would push be enough to justify the cost of developing the emulation (and it would have to be bullet proof)? I like the idea of having it, but for my part not having it won't effect my purchase decision.

2176d ago
Eonjay2176d ago

You are asking the right question but the wrong way. For me, the addition of PS3 BC would add value as a customer and make it even more likely for me to buy a PS5. If it is valuable to the customer it is valuable to them.

Also, the way they are doing it would be way cheaper than a program like Microsoft had. The are emulating the hardware. Not the software.

"The question is would the return on investment be worthwhile?"

Sony could definitely make some extra profit selling PS3 games through their marketplace (the same way they have their other classics available). It's not about whether or not it will effect anyone's purchase decision, it definitely didn't do so for the PS4. But as others have expressed, it would be a nice addition to have for PS5 if Sony could open up their whole library digitally and physically to users.

Racing games should be some of the easiest to emulate and they're still not hitting 60fps with it, to say nothing of image flickering and occasional sound issues.

Still gonna be a bit yet before they have it fully up and running, it seems, and even then it may only work for part of the library. :/

Is it possible to have PS3 emulation on PS5?yes depending on what kind of power it really has.
An i7 9700k is no slouch and the PS4 already has a God of War 3 running much better with less
power required because they converted CBE to X86 which is not something you want to be doing in the long run.

What power would be required to play these games emulated at said PS4 version?.
It's not an easy situation Sony themselves created and ultimately I believe they are happy this way because they
want you to use PSNow,that service is why you will not even get it. (let's not forget that it was a huge investment)
