Gran Turismo Series Sales Reach Nearly 76.5 Million, Best-Selling Games Revealed

@Duke_Slade007: GT7 is in the makes... GT games come out and last for years... unlike "competition" games (cough) who need a new title ever year and hose you for $60 and ask for $60 in DLC to get all the cars the original game should have came with....

Catch my drift lol?

@DrunkenPunk800: I respect your opinion but I love all of the first four GT games.Forza Motorsport is great too though and did have better graphics.

@jyml8582: and arent all sports, racing and yearly released games just that!?!?!

@xOmniCloudx: if they ported 6 to ps4 i'd buy it. I bought gt6 and had a ps4 at the time. I spent more time playing gt6 than ps4 for a month when it came out

@Moonco: Thanks xOmniCLoudx and nikon133

@Moonco: Sim. Most of the Ridge Racer and Need for Speed games are Arcade style.

@Moonco: Simcade. It is definitively above NFS and DriveClub in physics - in fact, GT6 has new physics engine (improved over the one in GT5 and older) that is quite well done... but it is not as hardcore as GP Legends, on even Project Cars on full sim settings.

@boardsport311: yeah but, the main competitor also makes you pay an extra $45 to get all the cars and unlock the whole online portion of the game...and then sometimes releases more cars not included in the vip or car pass...

@stage4saiyan I don't know about that. Sometimes I like to get out and race with the "family sedan" just to see how it would be. You know, take mom's four door Honda for a spin on the Nurburgring . . .

@chechak7: Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, iRacing, or Dirt Rally are great driving sims, If you fancy something more arcadey you've got Grid 2 (briefly tried 3 but prefer 2). Split Second - a game that seemed to go under the radar a few years back but still looks good maxed out which is easily done on any modern PC. Racing with lots of explosions and destructible scenery, great fun.

Then of course most (if not all) the need for speed games are on PC. Then you've got the option of emulators.

Just the other day I was playing PS2's GranTurismo 4 on PC rendered at 1080p with improved shaders and better texture filtering and FXAA to smooth everything off. Looked good and played flawlessly once I'd got my xbox controller set up properly with the emulator.

There's PLENTY of decent racing games I've left out. The games I miss most on PC are fighting games. MK, and SF are okay but I really want fight night on PC, or maybe even UFC. And before you ask the original ps2's fight night works well via emulation but I couldn't get the superior FN2 to work without glitching.

@bigruss730: I did an endurance race once on Gran Turismo 2. It wasn't timed, though, just 80 laps or something. Kind of hard figuring out when to pit if you aren't a diehard motorsports fan.

@bigruss730: Not to sound insensitive, but you could've used that time to get a really good degree or expand your knowledge.

@xantufrog: It's a shame, it's my favorite one so far.

I think most people saw it as GT5 with some slapped polish... or maybe not even a polish, but just a different make-up... and lack of marketing didn't help much, either.

For me - after playing GT5 - improvements in physics were absolutely worth it.

With that being said... Sony/Polyphony would have done Playstation gamers a favor if they have dropped PS3 GT6 and started developing PS4 GT6 earlier. We'd have it on PS4 by now... and with no marketing campaign, PS3 GT6 was a bit of wasted effort. Almost like if they just wanted to test new physics engine on old platform and tune it before migrating to PS4.

Since there is still not a single screenshot from GT7 - let alone trailer or demo - I'm really going to be surprised if we see it in 2016. Considering promises from Polyphony - earlier being that GT7 might even be released in 2014, but 2015 is more likely - and slow development of GT5... I fear a bit that they have become too much self-indulgent, self-important... and are loosing their edge... for some time now, really. Which, in return, makes me very keen to add X1 to my "garage" for some extra driving fix (and other exclusives). I'm enjoying Project Cars and still revisiting DriveClub on occasion, but I'm missing variety of street cars that GT and Forza are offering.

Funny thing is, even with slow and troubled start of PS3, I was not really too fuzzed about getting X360. When I got PS3 in 2009, we already had well reviewed Ridge Racer, Motorstorm 1 and 2, Burnout Paradise, Grid, Midnight Club, Dirt 1 and 2... at least one F1 title... and handful of NFS titles. Plenty to choose for all tastes.

Now PS4 has just entered it's 3rd year... and we have, what? DriveClub (poorly reviewed, though I did enjoy it), Project Cars (good but limited), The Crew (poorly reviewed)... two NFS... a few more titles but nothing attention catching, for me at least.
