I'm really looking forward to playing this game because this game is so realistic and so pretty. But the thing I love about this game is the total amount of vehicles in the game. GT4 has more than 700 cars comparing to a little bit more than 300 for Forza 2. The negative thing about this game is it doesn't have damage at all so I hope that they put that feature in the game but overall this should be a great simulation racing game.

I find Gran Turismo boring. But I'm not much of a fan of sim games, anyway. I prefer a white-knuckle arcade racer with completely unrealistic physics any day.

That said, as far as driving sims goes, it doesn't get better than Gran Turismo.

Definitely in japan just look at the boost that golfing game gave it.

just wondering. can you put kits on cars?

i almost piss myself (in the good way lol)when i saw the trailer back at E3, can't wait

best or not, do we really have to wait till 09 to play the damn thing

i say this game should come out in 2009.

Make sure everything is done perfectly.

like the only thing wrong with forza is...... a touch of the graphics and cocckpit view. (N4G wont allow me to spell c o c k ...)

I just hope GT has attributes that Forza has though.

Kudos

lmao!

be to somehow jack into GT5 telecast style and actually watch a race from the theater or your apartment. That would be awesome.

In fact, every game should include a home spectator type mode, where you can watch from your apartment or rent the theater with a group for a gaming session. Basically time-attack mode against all of your buddies IN REAL TIME, and EVERYONE is watching. Great stuff, great stuff...hope they've thought of this.

I'm looking forward to getting ( GranTurismo 5 ) as a bundle deal with any games from their line-up along with an extra sixaxis ( rumble ) control pad on an ( 80GB or more ) PS3 console.
By that time which is probably a year ( more or less ).
Might also add a steering wheel to go.

The best racing game series,definitely.Hope GT5 live up with the name.

i don't think i'll get Gran Turismo 5 i'll have more fun on (pgr4)

Gran Turismo is pure king.

That trailer was so awesome that the game will be the best selling game since FF7.

is because like Kaz Yamauchi stated, he doesn't create Gran Turismo games with gamers in mind. He creates it for himself. Gran Turismo is a true motor enthusiast's game not a game for people looking for in your face fun. That's why its king of what it does

I think as far as crash damage, Kaz said he may implement it as a downloadable feature later but he also said he would have to rewrite the entire game engine.

So what i think Kaz may be doing is focusing on the cars and everything else for THIS game and when it gets round to Gran Turismo 6 he'll focus mainly on getting that car damage spot-on. Kaz is a perfectionist and if it can't be implemented well enough, it's not included

keep it the way it is . you dont have to be a follower.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
