- Polyphony made a huge leap during the PS3 era with Gran Turismo 5, being the longest game in development taking over 5 years since GT4 and yet despite the improvements a lot of the fans are still conflicted on this game, some like it while others despise it, was it great or was it a disappointment?

What did you think of Gran Turismo 5? Let me know here in the comments and drop a like and sub if you enjoyed the content! Have a wonderfull rest of your day lads ♥️
I dunno, I didn't even knew there was a GT5 when I still had my PS3 hahahahaha. The last GT game I've played was 4.
5 was the last good singleplayer Gran Turismo experience IMO. 6, Sport and 7 are a shadow of Gran Turismo's former self in terms of singleplayer content. Still great fun online but it's seriously disappointing how little content there is otherwise.
I still own it and can still play it on my original PS3 Slim
My parents gifted me PS3 Super Slim with GT5 and it was my childhood game. Got Chaparral 2J from a ticket. Then lost my savegame (it was from 2013) because I gave it to my friend to install HEN, his TV was 1080p, but mine was 720p. Made a options reset and all of my savegames broke 😢
@@purwantiallan5089 good old times
The online aspect was the main selling point and really made the game a lot of fun, especially since the singleplayer content didn't get completely destroyed (unlike GT7). It's a shame you did not mention the Red Bull X2010 events though, they are among the most infamous in the entire franchise among with races like Mission 34 in GT4.
Yea I haven't seen that event during my playthrough, mainly was sticking around A-spec and B-spec with occasional visit to Special Events
@@DoVe_7 It's an unlockable when reaching level 30 and it's an absolutely insane endgame event.
I managed to get a Gold in one of the Red Bull X2010 races by absolutely cheesing it by taking a big shortcut. I think it was on the Monza circuit, and I was able to cut through the tight two corners at the start. I was only able to get a bronze on the other circuits, though.
@@blobbem The Monza one is very cheesable, yeah, but the Suzuka and Nürburgring races are incredibly difficult and don't have many ways to be cheesed (especially Suzuka).
@@blobbem I tried during hours the Vettel challenge, the best I could do was still 22 sec under bronze time, so goodbye X2010 😢
Gran Turismo 5 was better than Gran Turismo 6. Programming and ai was a lot more stable with less game crashes. Gran Turismo 6 was very inaccurate in speed measurements with the bots being more aggressive and many more. GT6 is what led me to stop playing Gran Turismo games.
I think Gran Turismo 5 was quite a decent game, I mean it was not as great as GT3 and GT4 but the online really was what made the game good. The seasonal events were for the most part amazing and they gave great amount of money on a very short time and they switched them up like almost every month. Shuffle races were also very fun, it was a shame they got rid of them in GT6 as well. But also the online lobbies were not that bad and there weren't as many connection issues compared to GT7
Not enough various racetracks per challenge, always the same, grand valley speedway again and again ! Raising your level didn't increase your prize money, so to buy a 20M supercar, you have to spend your time farming 200x the Speedway which will take you 800 min to complete. Bspec is hazardous because AI don't cut off corners and you can't skip the doubled-laps (for less money)like in GT4 ! Also the hardest challenges (nearly impossible to me) are gold licences (even the slalom in silver I can't 😢),the karting, both S.Loeb and Vettel challenges (I tried so many times without reaching bronze !) Nascar is also tricky due to dumb AI opponents ! And Cherry on the cake, endurance 24h-races are so cheaply rewarded that I simply refuse to waste my time on it ! On the other side I love muscle cars and under 1980 cars. Why is there so many Miata's and skylines and imprezas 50 of each model to collect only to spot the headlights restyled ! (Yeah I know it's a japanese game). Disappointed to say I will not finish this game😭
Looks way worse for me since I can't update it. Always gets stuck and I cba sitting through 27 of them.
Short answer: No.
What did they do to my man Jeff?
Forever nostalgic of this game. My first game ever
Gt5 is so nostalgic
I always liked AMG Academy because it gave a good feeling
How young are you???
@@ciprycipry4261 if they was five when it came out he could be 17-18. So probably old enough to be in college
This made me feel old
I played it first on the ps2 I was about 5-6
I loved it. Bought it in 2011 and played it for a few years. Only complaint was the engine noises and the used cars were clearly half baked and directly ported from GT4. That said, it made up for the sheer volume and range of used cars you could buy and it changed every time you went in, keeping it interesting. GT5 is a certified great
Did you know the standard gt4 cars in gt5 have default texture resolution? It was downscaled for the ps2 probably for storage
I love the vibe that GT5 and GT6 have. These games always make me feel like I'm sitting in a nice lounge and listening to jazz music, and the physics are superb to this day. I would actually say these games are my favorite in the series.
GT7 doesn't have that? I jumped ship to pc but I want to get a ps5 solely for GT7 (and GTA6, whenever it comes out...) but if it doesnt have the same feel, I might reconsider that
@@Thepietro5000ppI don't own GT7 myself, but a youtube called 'writing on games' did a bunch of videos on how the game feels
Physics are significantly better than the older ones alright. I’m sick of people saying that “gT4 iS pEaK oF rAcInG gAmE!2!1!1!1!1!” and forget that the physics make very little sense xd
I don't think this was a disappointment, sure, it isn't exactly as good as previous titles and the void interior of standard cars is a bit disappointing, but in general, I think graphically it was a nice improvement, the driving feels a lot better than GT4 as it's a lot less understeery (and I personally think the handling is better than GT6, too). Sounds were a lot better too, and personally this game's menu music was my favourite. It wasn't as big of a leap forward as the PS2 GT titles but on its own, it's still a very good game. I think the hate towards this game came from the disappointment when it was originally released, people expected more from it.
Yea I agree its still an alright game and the music in here is fantastic , still use soo much of it other projects I do
A the time it was disappointment. I remember a lot of people mad about Standard cars and track textures. Some of them looked as directly taken out from GT4. Opinions were mixed. But of course Premium cars and for ex. Eiger Nordwand looked astonishing.
I used to enjoy the online Shuffle Race Mode. Where the room owner would set the track & pp level, then when you joined the race you would be assigned a random car within that pp range.
Damn that actually sounds fun ngl
@@DoVe_7 I liked around 380pp where it was light-mid sportscars, with the S2000s, Silvias, 180SXs, early Lancers, Liberty & some Euro cars. all going for it. it was usually a great laugh on CS tyres for most.
@@RARDingo why was that not a thing in GT6? What a shame! I had a lot of fun in GT6 goofin' around doing laps with randoms on lobbies, wether it was drifting, cruising, or just being an idiot for the laughs while driving a neon green prius with pink rims
Still the most fun I've had racing online
@@purwantiallan5089 yeah, pp in GT5 was much lower numbers than GT7
The game itself was great, and compared to the newer ones, defo better
To be honest Gran Turismo five was one of the best games in the series-
I just watch this and realized that this is just a better version of GT7
5:38 Hey Dove, actually you can speed up B-Spec mode just like in GT4: hold L1 to go to the telemetry screen, then press right on the D-pad three times to speed it up to 3x.
This does not work for me.
@@RS-lfdkb did you continue holding L1 as you pressed the D-pad?
@@JebMotorsport yes I did. It changes nothing for me. Just to be clear, this is for GT5?
Thanks
Have your tried this at all?
GT5 was the first game i played online as a kid, loved every bit of it. I’m of the opinion that more cars were a good call, and I didn’t mind a little lower res and no detailed interior. The single player was still pretty good and the special events were really fun, I think this game has aged pretty well but not as well as games like GT4
I bought this game as it was my first car game on ps3, if not my first game on ps3 at all, after a while, they introduced the gt6, and i didn't know that there were online races like that, when i started to create a ps3 account, they stopped supporting gt5, so i have never ever tried the online, although i am in career offline, sometimes it gets boring as i am playing alone.
Ps3 is my first and only console i have. I still play the game time to time tho, once in months. If we could bring bag the online servers it would be awesome.
Bought it 2 days before release back in November 2010, after GT3 and GT4 yes it was a disappointment. The game felt half baked, lots of loading screens, more cars but less race events somehow and this stupid PP system.
That, and I also remember not being able to tweak your gear ratios at launch, weird japanese game show music, rolling starts, being unable to sell prize cars and winning them over again after doing a event. And maybe it’s just me but I remember people being pretty negative about GT5 and 6, so to see most people being so positive about them is very strange to me.
Yeah there's really not much to do compared to GT4... and the races are so unbalanced...
I still play gran turismo 5 till this day it's a great game
I just don't like the lack of challenge. It sucks that in every race there's like two overpowered cars that you just cant beat unless you upgrade your car, and once you do, you beat them all too easily... it's so boring...
I remember in gran turismo PSP, which didn't even have a career, at least every race your opponents were comparable in performance.
Except for Gran Turismo 1 and PSP, all of the GT games suffered the same issue
I think that it can be the better. Still got the charm of the old one, but with good graphics and handling. The perfect balance, even if with some flaws.
_Was Gran Turismo 5 a Dissapointment?_
OF COURSE IT WAS
8:36 But at least this course editor is still usable, unlike the one in GT6.
RIP GT6 Custom Course Maker, you will me missed
@Spidi Sadly I didn't got to use it since I first played this game in 2019.
@@BlueJayI0II0I i played since launch, trust me it hurts more for me than it does for you, at least you don't have nostalgia about something you can't access anymore...
GT5 felt rushed
GT7 feels incomplete
Hell no, 5 is still miles ahead of 7
what about 6?
@@JT.5596 is the last "true" GT, so imo it's a great game but with some major issues (no used dealership, very weak AI...)
@@Zeveulesaussure 7 feels more like classic GT than 5 or 6 does
@@mrcaboosevg6089 Not at all imo. The offline experience is terrible, it's not even close to GT5 or GT6.
They did a feature where you can transfer a limited amount of cars you bought from GTPSP to GT5. Unfortunately it's only for Arcade mode.
When GT5 released, I had a real PSP and had a real copy of GTPSP and the game itself had a screen explaining this feature, I assumed it was a quick way to start GT5 but nope it wasn't the case.
They basically streamlined the career a little too much in GT5. The PSP game atleast was literally a _sandbox to do whatever you want_ GT4 port.
I had a challenge idea once where you would only use the cars imported from GTPSP to this game but yea shame it's only in arcade mode
Was GT5 a disappointment? Absolutely not. This was my first GT game alongside GT3, and it will always be the best one imo. The love the UI in the menus, the races and special events are a blast, the new content like the Course Maker is great, the immense car list is amazing, (even with the black interiors, those never bothered me before, even today) and the soundtrack is genuinely incredible. The driving physics especially are awesome, leagues better then the stiff handling GT4 had. Best GT game imo, and it got even better with the Master Mod, hopefully you make a vid on that soon, it's a blast too.
Actually working on Master mod vid which should be out in the next couple weeks
Gran tourismo 5 is my favourite gt and i still play it D:
it 100% was a disappointment. teasing players with completely remodeled high quality cars with interior view, 6 years of development... just to screw over the playerbase with 90% of the car list being lazily ported from GT4, paid dlc packs and the stupid player level system.
I think the biggest problem with GT5 is lackluster GT Mode. With only 9 events in each series, some of them having a single race only, you can progress through the game very quickly. It doesn't help that despite having new Rally tracks (rebuilt Chamonix, Toscana), they're barely ever seen in GT mode. Even when I played as a kid who also grew up with GT4, I recognized these issues. They decided to do way too many things all at once (bringing Ferrari and Lambo's in GT for the first time, making collaborations with professional drivers etc.), to the point that it affected the overall gameplay. Still, I had a great time playing it.
i actually think 9 events in each series are quite enough for an series, knowing how long it takes sometimes.....
YEAH LE MANS IM TALKING TO YOU.
After years i still love GT5. The memories of waking up early in the morning before school, checking if the collectors dealership had some new legendary cars from the old games...
I surprised that everyone hates gt5 ui
Like I mean it's so efficient and easy
Unlike gt4 everything is far from you
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Not really, maybe can't equally success from GT3 & GT4
But, it still quiet decent also you seems have a lot of fun with those unique challenge you played
Truly, the Turismo 5 was Gran
I never got to play Gran Turismo 5, but I remember the hype around it and the following disappointment. In retrospect, it looks pretty good and I would love to give it a shot one day. I do admit, the Premium/Standard split is slightly disappointing, but still, there's lots of cars to enjoy.
Honestly I liked the game but that leveling system killed it for me, so so badly. Actually one of the reasons I prefer GT6 over this one. That and the endurance events not being actual 24 hours
Yea the level system was a bit annoyin I agree, especially you find a good car in the dealerships but can't buy it yet cause of low level
I dont mind level system
Very disappointing, clinical and overrated racing game. GT4 was the peak of the series, since then they have all been equally disappointing in their own ways. GT5 is no exception.
Every gran turismo after GT4 was a disappointment. GT5 and GT7 stand out as the greatest disappointments though. Didn’t even bother with GT6 after 5.
Gran turismo 5 was my favorite until I tried gran turismo 4, now I see it's flaws, the main one being just...the game is too short, not enough championship, like, gran turismo is perfect but too short
I wasn't even sure if I had played GT5, until I saw the VW busses goin ham. They should have had landmines on the track during the Kubelwagen race though, then you'd want to avoid taking the lead for a bit...
i understand about standard cars. but think about it like this. 1079 cars..... If polyphony made them all premium it would be called Gran Turismo Forever than Gran Turismo 5
Man i miss those times! The online community features were much better sending car's, paint and other things and each person had a page you could type on... PP system that actually worked and better lobby settings...
GT5 and GT6 felt great.
The sheer quantity of cars, endurance racers, some limited customisation and a great online. Spent so much time online!
The variety of GT5 was great too, I remember the spec 2 update really made the game so fun at the time.
Short answer: No
Long answer: No because I am happy my bugatti veyron goes 486km/h and I can also use it in any event
I genuinely liked it as a kid and I remember when my uncle bought it when I was younger but I was never allowed to touch his ps3 so I didn't get to play it until like a year before the servers shutdown then I was able to upgrade to gran turismo 6 and had a similar story there
Gt5 is one of my favorite games in the series. I don’t know what it is about it but it’s so charming…
Absolutely loved tbis game, have been wanting to replay it for ages but no longer have my ps3
The first ever gt game i was dissapointed in. And the first one i traded in. There were signs of gt7 in it
Personally it wasn’t. It was the first game I rolled credits on since the first Gran Turismo.
This was my first Granturismo game. I loved it so much, i wish it was just as good as gt7. I never played Granturismo 4 because I had an xbox and not an ps2 maybe then gt4 would be my favorite
Something's wrong with you if you think that GT5 was a dissapointment
(Sorry for the long text)
Gran Turismo 5 is one of the most underrated Gran Turismo.
Ita basically GT4 but with clipped content and given more priority to the Online Modality
But still having a very decent GT Mode than the earliers Gran Turismo.
Maybe the B-Spec mode it could be one of the great falls of this game, are the same races than in A-Spec Mode just only with more Laps.
Also the:
1. Repeated cars.
bunch of: Honda's S2000
Mazda's Rx7
Nissan Skyline's R32, R33, R34
Mitsubishi's Lancer
Mitsubishi's 2000GT
And more ones.)
2.Poor Car Customization (compared to Gran Turismo 6.)
3. Probably the most notorious in GT Mode is the AI in the races.
4. And the most unfair thing is the fact of how broken is this game in your progress.
Example:
There is a championship called, "Tuning Car Championship".
The car oponents that will appear in the races are just only Modified Cars.
But there is no specific regulations on how you can pass this Championship, this means that you can pass it with every car.
Even with a Super GT car, making you the races very easier.
And this is not the only one in throughout the game.
Having a very untidy progress the game.
Thats why i recomend played or giving the chance to played with the "Stock" cars, and the same ones of your oponents to have more fun and making more challenging the game.
After all the negative points, is definitely NOT a bad game, you can played it the way that whatever you want, given an "Agency for the player".
Its a really cool and underrated game in my opinion that i enjoyed a Lot.
No need to be sorry for long texts I actually enjoy reading comments like these and yea I agree with the points in there it's still a decent game with a few set backs
When it got released it was a massive disappointment to most people I knew who had it lol.
6:32 my bumpers have literally almost fall off and rally car doors fall of and standards get smushed.
The best gran turismo, The most complete one, always in my heart
I'll forever find stupidly hilarious that IGN review quoting "the music is awful" or something among those line. Only for it to become a quite good soundtrack many years later, especially the jazz soundtrack.
IGN always proving how much of a clown site they are since 2010 onwards.
TBCH, I have Gran Turismo 5 as probably my least favorite game of the franchise.
BUT, one thing that actually did well overall, was the overall soundtrack, both for racing and menus.
The last Gran Turismo overall good soundtrack after Gran Turismo 3.
Gran Turismo 4 and 6 were better games than 5, but those games fell short in terms of soundtrack (the songs aren't necesarilly bad, but they weren't as good as GT5 or GT3)
I got some bad news, it saddens me that the speaker did not mention. If you were here at the time of grand turismo 5 and the prologue you’ll understand. Grand turismo 5 was a horrible game that let not only myself down, especially if you played the competitors racing game before it.
The competitors racing game had less cars but its gameplay was phenomenal let alone its customization options. Omg !
The speaker forgot to mention about how empty the game lobby was online when it was free to play back in the ps3 era.
Hi Mr.I am a lousy guy in my moms basement. nice to meet you
Honestly? I've NEVER noticed the "standard" cars were any more pixelated than the "premium" ones. Sure, the interior view, and following that - see-through windows (and headlights/taillights) made you able to instantly tell if it's a premium car or not, but as far as the car model is concerned, especially as a kid, I've never noticed any major differences.
Bu BUT it has AESTHETIC!
As for missing content from past events, you can mod the game with GT Master Mod. It will force ALL cars to be available for purchase or added by mod menu
Yea a Master mod video will be out hopefully next week or so
GT5 was the best GT ever
The best on ps3 maybe, but the leveling mechanic absolutely kills any freedom
@@demomanchaosNah, the best of all time
@@miguelcarvalho3309 You never played any of the older games then, as 5 literally does everything objectively worse outside graphics and debatably handling models. B Spec being its own thing but double race length with no super speed option, licences being completely pointless, several mandatory cars being only in the used dealership with one being inconceivably rare on top of the extremely high level lock (So not only do you basically only get a single shot at the car at most but it has to happen late in your playthrough and while you have a massive cash stockpile or else you can never do the FGT Cup at all), the level restricted races means there is no freedom in progression, level restricted cars means your starter car selection is crippled, car rewards feel hollow due to getting cards when you hit the main screen rather than previous fanfare, no rally events at the rally tracks outside the Leob challenge, and much MUCH more.
Gt5 was the start if the transition away from playing your own way to the current model of doing it exactly as you are told.
@@demomanchaos I played GT4 and GT5 in graphics and handling is miles ahead of GT4
@@miguelcarvalho3309 Graphics yes, handling maybe, but everything else is absolutely against GT5 and in favor of 4. If graphics and handling are your only measuring sticks you must worship GT7, but there is far more to a game than looking pretty.
idk, was it? 🤔
At 2:31 I shouted out loud, the S2000 LM has always been a favourite car of mine since GT3. Any time it’s showcased by anyone I fanboy lol.
Another great video essay! I’ve been playing GT5 over the last few months myself, and honestly even with all its faults it’s still a fun game. It’s funny, we all complained about it back before 6 came out, then hated on it when 6 seemed to fix all the problems…and now that 7 is out and has just as many, if not more problems, many of us are going back and playing or praising GT5.
While it’s not my favourite entry in the series, honestly it’s down there as one of my least favourites, the high amount of cars and classic tracks more than makes up for the lacklustre GT mode.
been playing through this recently and im at the point where im now just refreshing the used car dealership to get the formula GT so i can finally finish every event
That's honestly what I hated the most just having to do for certent cars, if you have GT5 Master Mod it has all of the cars available to purchase
GT5 is the best Gran Turismo game, along GT4
Hello, Jeff Gordon
GT5 has MANY flaws but it is still one of my favourites games. I've spent so many hours into this game. Be glad you are playing the latest update, if you were there at the time, it was rough, at the beginning standard cars were non paintable, couldn't swap wheels and had no interior view.
Still since it was the first GT with online most of us where playing there and random car races were a blast, shame the servers are closed now.
My personnal opinion about GT5 is that the game were focused on the content with a litteral conversion of all GT4 cars to GT5 (with the Standard and Premium segregation type) which makes no interest to stick with Standard Cars due of the big differences. (At least, they do not give recycled cars as DLC like Forza games).
But, for a PS3 game, i found as a good GT Game which kept all of their core aura before they destroyed with GT Sport and 7.
Gt5 was luxurious
If you’re doing a playthrough since the servers shut down it’s complete hell.
- No seasonal events or 2X money for 5 days of login so easy money is pretty much non existant
- The Formula GT NEVER appears in the Used Car Dealership. I’ve been waiting YEARS for it to show up so I can finally complete the game to 100% but it just won’t show up.
Yea that is true, thankfully with the Master Mod you can purchase that car in the normal dealership
@@DoVe_7 how do you get it?
I can’t believe that I bought ps3 just for GT5 and to be disappointed
I changed Assassin's Creed 3 for Gran Turismo 5...
I'm still regretting of that decision
GT5 made my childhood better. I still remember playing it against my dad and getting absolutely destroyed. I miss those days... yeah, this will forever be my favorite GT.
I'm not sure why, but 5 managed to keep my attention better than 6. I did play through most of 5, but quit 6 pretty early on. Still to this day, 1 and 2 are the only ones i've ever had the patience to 100%, while 2 being my absolute favourite of the series
Imo outside of gran turismo 4, GT5 is the best game in the series. GT6 trimmed too many of the features that made it GT, they just wanted to be forza, and look where that got em. No games for 36 years, a flop of a simulator, and then straight back to copying what was great in GT4.
My brain thought tells me about GT7 but is GT5, fair enough I still own the copy since the launch day.
Honestly all the old games are better than the new ones.
it was the last gran turismo game that wasnt a disappointment to me. the standard cars sucked, but aside from that i enjoyed it. i miss the car painting and color collecting feature a lot anytime i replay the PS2 titles lol.
6 was awful when they decided to delete endurance races which were the peak of gran turismo games for me, and other stuff that i forgot at this point. i played 5 easily 10 times the amount compared to 6..
In 2024 some of the maps just fail to load. I even bought a brand new sealed copy thinking it could have been a scratch. I often feel like I’m playing roulette when loading up a race.
GT TV come on it had it's purpose..... I never experienced the online even if free I didyhave a online account at the time more local I don't care anyway the events seemed fine form footage I've seen.
I hate B spec in GT5. More laps and awkward use. GT4 I prefer the most (cough pace they don't always respond and it's frustrating) and GT6 you can at least control yourself besides the regular and better instructions then GT5. But no defending or slipstream give it to me Polyphony seriously. I want defending so much it annoys me.
The progression is fine the levels are easy to skip sometimes but it's less painful then other level based games. It does limit things still though. The PP/PI of Forza and GT is fine to gauge like Gear Score in shooters but eh. I prefer the star system of GT6 and not the licensee restrictions of GT6 because special licensee and awkward times late in the game.
For cheap GT5 is fine but for launch yeah it makes sense why. Wasn't GT6 Christmas present of 2013 that's for sure. I sold GT5/Prologue at a certain point and rebought them so they have some value to me just don't have GT 2002 Concept or GT4 Prologue yet but got Tourist Trophy (GT4 Bikes) for $1 a year or two ago then $8-9 or so I saw now so yeah it's something.
The level ups and other aspects are less tedious then GT7 that's for sure they are fine enough and wouldn't look out of place today with RPG elements in a racing game I think.
The PSP and PS2 car models eh. The elements that are there are fair but it's tires annoy me because you either can't use Sports in some events same as GT6 grrr. The cars suck to control because of this sometimes. I hate go karts. I try so hard to be light and nope they suck to use. The 3D is cool in both games.
Standard and premium cars is understandable. But they made their efforts clear they didn't lie to us secretly.
The used car dealer is eh but probably better than GT4 with how they cycle it's awkward still but better.
But the repeats also is annoying with how many.
The special events are nice but eh rally I can't do I prefer GT4 rally in execution and amount of events. The GT5 ones may be more stage suitable to rally but doesn't beat a proper rally game or equivalents around the time or later like Gravel (that people skip over like many Milestones games even though they are really good) for point to point and circuits. NASCAR is fine but eh. I do think the character models are odd but they tried at least besides being a car studio.
At leather saving isn't as bad as GT PSP where it deletes your save for moving the memory card who wants to not upgrade/swap their PSP. Make it a 2000 or TV component compatible one or one your happy with.
Trying out GT5/6 saves being moved was fine no issues other than it updates the backups which is fine enough and my old saves are on a USB so I can restart my new saves with a wheel and fresh then on and off play of both games and to better understand with fresh saves (not save file editing like Devs would want to present I don't care for that at all). No restrictions like Sport or 7 is good in my book.
When most cars are ported from a previous generation, i would say yes. Because its not taking full advantage of the PS3 like previous games did on their respective consoles. Did we see PS1 car models in GT3? I don't remember such. So why should we lower our standards for GT5? It makes no sense and i find that inexcusable.
5 is alright, but the leveling system is absolute ass and destroys progression
really the only bad thing about this game is the time it took to release, like, why did it took years ? gran turismo might be *the* system seller for sony and standard cars would be excused if the game released in 2007.
beside that, gran turismo 5.. is gran turismo. gran turismo 6 forces upon you a starter car, has no endurance races, no used car dealership, very little car prizes.. all unnecessary steps back.
gran turismo 5 doesn't do goofy stuff (except the level system but i don't mind it). it is simply gran turismo 4 with even more content, a (great) online mode, fun karting and kinda important: more opponent to face. it's gran turismo 4+
Have you played Academy Edition? If so what does that version offer over Prologue, Regular and XL?
GT5 showed PD were human. I played them all up to that and they were amazing.
It was a great title, but felt compromised in a way that GT4 was not.
I remember people being a bit miffed with the lack of cars in GT3, but everyone I knew agreed it was as ground breaking as the first 2 titles.
The standard cars were quite controversial.
Was Gran Turismo 5 a disappointment?
As someone whose first Gran Turismo was the 6th one on the PS3, and reading and being told that 5 was better, YES. It was heavily disappointing.
I wouldn't have mind that GT5 would have been a little bit worse than GT6, but it's worse in almost every way possible, that I could write a book about Gran Turismo 5's issues.
From progression to UI and overall lack of difficulty. But what's more infuriating; A LOT of Wasted Potential.
I didn't play any GT game at launch. I bought an used GT5 XL Edition copy which had installed the Spec II version.
I read the game was worse before, but if the core is wrong, there's no much the developer can do aside for a MASSIVE Update or a new game.
This one and GT4 were highly regarded for the fans of the series, yet are the games that I avoid to come back as much as possible, because for me, they're really overrated.
Was Gran Turismo 5 a Bad Game?
Well, even with all its issues and to me being the 3rd worst game of the series, no.
Gran Turismo 5 it's still a good game.
Obviously it has a ton of unnecessary shit that it shouldn't have make it to the final release, but still...
It has a nice driving, good graphics most of the time, quite a lot of content, good music (not better than GT3, but still better than 4 and 6), and overall, it's still fun.
I would prefer Gran Turismo 5 over almost any modern racing game today.
But in the Gran Turismo franchise, I would always prefer GT2, GT3 or GT6 before GT5...and sometimes I even prefer GT PSP.
I played GT5 in 2010 and sadly never finished it because I had to sell PS3 because of financial reasons. In 2013 I bought PS3 again and played GT6 for years, got even platinum trophy in GT6. In 2017 I have hidden PS3 into the closet and since then I've played only Sport and GT7. I found recently the hidden PS3 and bought GT5 for 3 euros... After so many years it is like using a time machine. Now you can buy an adapter for Dualsense controller and give second life to PS3. I also bought SSD to improve loading times. So the game feels even better. To be honest, I have with GT5 more fun than with GT7 (after 600 hours). My goal is to gold everything. Obviously graphics is bad on big modern OLED TV, no HDR, less colours, even sound and music seem to be lower quality. But on other hand it is refreshing not having to be connected to internet, no announcements. Everything is so... calm. I like the game, nice experience. After I'm done with GT5 I'm going to play GT6 again. And even more PS3 games, like GTA 4, Max Payne 3, old Tony Hawk games etc... Nice nostalgic trip.
Not to me. With a driving wheel, this is one of the best games of all time. The career starting off with a terrible car, the used car lot, the music, the PAINT COLLECTION SYSTEM. The rate of money gain. It’s just amazing!
For the amount of delays it had when it first launched to the last minute reveal that a lot of the cars were just recycled from GT4 and had no interiors, it was still a fun enjoyable game
2 things i don't like about GT5:
1. Standard Cars, Which is GT4 PS2 assets that port over to PS3. I don't know what on Kaz mind thinking this is a brilliant idea.
2. Very limited choices of rims, I couldn't use TE37 or RPF1 for some of my favorites cars and it suck big time. Each car have different set of rims and most of them are rubbish.
It triggered the hay days of the GT-Academy. Although not even close to realism as iRacing in that era. Super accessible. GT5 was a game changer. We used to race between different forum crews. It was the best racing game of it's era.
Personally, I came from playing GT4 as my first ever GT game. When I first got GT5 it was great, I loved that we finally had in car views, and the car roster was insane. But then as time went on and I played other racing games, I realized there was a lack of passion. I also didn't realize until years later how spoiled I was for having that be my first ever GT game, which I realized when I played GT Sport for the first time a few years ago. It felt like some soil had come back to the franchise, and while the career mode has definitely taken a backseat, I think it's still there and returning with the newer titles.
GT5 was just amazing. Even the B spec was nor so bad. Made the races in backround while watching tv or over night or i am on work😅 there was a lot of nice cars to win in B spec
Gt5 was the first gt i played, my ps3 broke so i had to play gt4 for the first time, i'll be honest i do prefer gt5, but still gt4 is a very good replacement for me, way better than the newer gt games (except for online races). Still if i had my ps3 i would definitely be playing gt5 over gt4
You could speed up the event in B spec mode of GT 5 by 3 times!!!
I don’t know why whatever you’re playing the game on does not have this??
Replaying the game without any online functionality and it still an amazing game. Wallahi it’s a top 3 GT for me
Granturismo 5 was the last amazing GT game and then 6 was bottom tier. Even Granturismo Sport and 7 are better than GT6.
It offered nothing in terms of how newcomers should progress through the game. It felt like a game for professionals out of the box. Glad to see they fixed that in GT7.
Pro tip: when you're about to get flashbanged tap rear view to reset the exposure (note: for tracks that are overall brighter or darker you can change the exposure in the pause menu to your taste)
This game was literally the only thing I played from 2015 to when the disc refused to work in 2017. I had other games on my PS3 like LBP2 and GTAV but GT5 was pretty much the only thing I played. Then in early 2021, when we moved somewhere else, I bought a new GT5 disc and it was a time where the only thing left for me in GT6 was that last star at that dumbass Kart 125 shifter race at GT arena and had literally nothing else to do in the game (the boredom got to the point where I went to get the Platinum trophy for GT6, that I didn't get, and got hyped because I can afford a new car, also for the Platinum trophy). Then in August of the same year, disaster struck once again: my PS3 gave up and doesn't work anymore. I was crying that day andI still do almost 2 years later.
EDIT: I spent 20 minutes writing this
I played GT3 on PS2 and GT PSP in my childhood, later on my cousin gave me his PS3 and his games, GT5 was amazing, despite the online servers being down, it was alot fun. I am still yet to play GT6 but I moved onto GT Sport and got really good at it online and later played GT4 on emulator, it was a good game but lacked any personal nostalgia.
Agree,that karting track race has nothing to do here, why are the rally challenges in A-Spec gone???
@@bernardlaus9996 the only offroad races in GT6 are just 3 short races on dirt and no snow races and no brand new tracks added. It's a shame because I absolutely love the offroad physics for the PS3 games
