GT5: A dissapoinment :( *edited*

My story:

I own 14 PS3 games 9 of those are Exclusives, dont have any racing game (execpt for wipeout hd) played the nfs hot pursuit demo awhile back thought it was a good game, was going to buy it but then heard that gt5 was finally coming out and this time for sure, ended up pre ordering it.

Got the game today expecting it to be the best racing game ever (6 years in the making, huge budget) and it was also a ps3 exclusive so i was extremely sure i was not going to be dissapointed.

4 Hours into it and i honestly dont see where all the time polishing the game went to ... most of the tracks are unispiring and just bland/ugly the Premium cars were not breath taking either , the gaming modes were ok (altho the spect-b mode is a joke) the music is nice but what was suppose to make this game better than the others failed to deliver.

I m really dissapointed, shouldve spend my money on something else.

How do you guys feel about it?

*edit*=

I take it back: after some days with it i came to enjoy it.. sure some cars and tracks look bad for a game that has been in the making for so long, but once you get the hand of it, it is actually fun to play, and there is lots of things to do :)

I haven't played it yet so I don't know.

I'd say its not your taste.

You bought the wrong game for your likes. It happens.emitsu97

i just picked up the CE. Ill have to post back in a few to tell you if i agree with you or not...btw i am a car nut. My psn id is based on a dream ride i once had...sigh..

The last game that had this much hype to live up to was RE5....boy what a flop flop flop that was....i pray that this is not the case here.

:( Yeah maybe btw are you really lvl 17?Solid_Tango

:O You are pretty hardcoreSolid_Tango

Just wanted to add that GoW 3 also had a TON of hype surrounding it, and it delivered imo. To each his own TC, i will post back soon.

:lol: yes the women in our lives dont exactly share our enthusiasm. lol...

Even though GT is a MASSIVE powerhouse of a franchise it still has and never will be for everyone. It's for car enthusiast and in that sense it doesn't disappoint.

I played it at my friend's place---not my cup of tea, but I can see why people like it. I prefer NFS.

If you don't like stock car racing this game isn't for you. Grid is the best racing game on Ps3 If you have both systems get Forza 3

Apparently 800 cars have no cock pit view????

WTF

IGN gave it a 8.5

It was in development for so long and suffered so many delays and it's worse than the new NFS. I'll probably rent it eventually though.

GT5 is like the MGS4, either you will love it or you won't. For some people reality (or realism)is boring, but for GT fans like myself, I LOVE IT.

People sell save files?! Seriously?!

Actually, scratch that.

People buy save files?! Seriously?!

Ya, I've seen them there for sale. Kinda lame but yes, people buy them alot I hear.
Thanks for taking the joke so well. I wasn't sure if my humor would get across.

here is my story. im a car fanatic and the game has met my expectations. aka if u dont like cores do not get this game.

Yea, I have to add that in other news Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegaswas a huge disapointment I thought it was like Time Splitters. Man its boaring, you have to take cover and move slowly, not at all a run and gun. They should have given it a lower score.

I believe the most of the delays are from Volkswagen they don't let just anyone use the Lambo rights.Fightingfan

Its worth it, i want the 560-4 and 670-4 SOOO BAD!

Got it today and i am loving it. I can just see how its not for everyone. It is after all car porn.

I like it and all, but it just doesn't feel right without a driving wheel and I didn't expect my copy to arrive today so I was unprepared for it. Just order a Driving Force GT off of Amazon for $89 so I've got at least another week until I can really play it.

I played it for several hours last night and, yeah...pretty disappointing. It's a very good game, but feels a half-generation behind other driving sim's I've played on the PS3. I'm sure I'll be playing and enjoying it for a very long time though as there seems to be a ton of stuff to do and it is, after all, "very good". I didn't believe any of the hype, and it still falls well short of what I'd expect after waiting over 5 years.

I'm also disappointed with GT5. Considering the wait I think the game is a let down. I've been playing the GT series since the first one, it was the first game I bought for PS and I've been a fan since then. I was expected a lot more from a game that took so long to release. I don't understand why they couldn't make the used cars look just as good as new cars. The anti aliasing and shadows are horrible on cars. The sound track blows. The level system needs to be thrown into the garbage. Also why can't you get rid of half the crap thats on the screen when your racing (throttle meter, g meter, etc). The menu/layout is a bit strange...when I press O to exit I don't want to have to hit X to go back home, why make 2 steps for something as simple as exiting a menu. They could have also worked on optimizing some of the tracks for slow downs. There are a few tracks were the frame rates drop and the game slows down quite a bit - very annoying. The weather effects are nothing special. AI could be a lot better. List goes on...

Yes I might be nit picking here but that is be expected with a game that took so long to release and with all the hype surrounding it and how "perfect" it was going to be.

Only thing I'm looking forward is online play.

if you love the GT series you're gonna love this...i wasnt always into GT either but the psp version really had me hooked for a while, and im a little older now too.. its a great series if you wanna get down tosome actualracing without too much crap like crashing or the usual arcade racing stuff..but i guess its a series that takes a while to get used to if you're not already..im not a big racing fan either or a big lover of cars in general, but i love this series..you can just feel the developers love for cars and everything around it in every little detail..

graphically the cars look really great, the backgrounds are still a little sterile but you don't really focus on that when you're driving at around 300kms an hour..the focus in GT has always been the actual racing, how each car has his own physics and totally feels different is just amazing, so technically its awesome too..

sure this game isnt perfect, no game is..and for some it might even be a dissapointment, but its still a brilliant game..learn to appreciate it, give it some time..i used to think it was pretty boring too compared to other racegames like burnout or whatever, but its so much more authentic and real, and its just great to try out all kinds of cars and how they feel..
