I love this series, GT5 is one of the games I would so buy if I had a PS3 :lol:
I have the main games in the series from GT1 - GT4, a funny story regarding Gran Turismo 4. I had completed a fair amount of the races, I don't quite remember my overall completion but it was between 50% ~ 70% then my PS2 broke and I didn't get another for a while, but I kinda forgot about the game until one day I found it and decided to give it a go. However, my Memory Card decided to format itself, causing me to lose EVERYTHING on it, and I didn't know what had happened :blink: . So I never got back into the game because I couldn't be bothered getting to where I was before :P I think I sold it, or its lying around in a case somewhere lol.

I used to love the series, I played the first two quite often and loved them. I'd just never played a racing game like that in it's time, the simulation, car customization and licensing just took the game to a new level. I've lost interest as the series aged though.

(scraping the bottom of the barrel for topics to post in ftw)

I've been pretty much in agreement with Fayt's 5-month old post :lol:

I played the 1st, 2nd & 3rd GT games and was quite into it at the time. By the time GT4 rolled around, I had drifted away from gaming for a few years & had no interest in it anymore.

However, now that I've switched over to portable gaming, Sony has once again got me interested in this series with the Gran Turismo PSP announcement at E3.

I need a good racing game for my PSP and this series has always been one of the best. I'm looking forward to the 800 vehicles and improved graphics :D

Pre-order Gran Turismo, and you’ll get a voucher that will add one of the top cars to your in-game collection of cars in an exclusive color.
Bugatti Veyron available from the start?! Yes, please! :D
But that metallic blue GTR Spec V is also damn sexy :/

This means that on day one, you’ll be able to smoke your friends in 4-player Ad Hoc Mode multiplayer races with one of these rare sports cars while they are just getting started saving up credits.
Unless they pre-ordered it too :mellow:

It's not totally finished yet, they still need to polish some parts of the game here and there.

Rest assured it'll be the best looking game out there when it's out though. :hehe:

I found it rather amusing that after recently announcing that GT5 had all of the Nürburgring courses, no matter which site you viewed the announcement on, the majority of the comments could be summed up with these words:

"Release the damn game!!"

:lol:

They've taken so long with it, that their cars list might be 1-2 years outdated on the release date, whenever that might be.

This game is the type of game I'd buy a PS3 for, if I had the time/money.

Full HD 1080P output, stereoscopic 3D, 60 fps, 950+ cars :bowdown:

I'm in a hold right now on gaming purchases, but man when I get a chance and have the time for it ... :shifty:

I'm afraid the only thing you're right about is the delay. The game is still coming out before the end of this year (this holiday season, not next year). And I doubt the reason for delay is because people managed to jailbreak the PS3 either.

I think Gran Turismo, is the Best Drive of your life, you can learn to drive there if you have a Logitech wheel.

I've played dozens of Sim Racing Games and i love the most is GT. Think about it, Many Cars, Tracks and Photo shoots? i love the most in the series is GT 2, 3, 4 and 5, the 4 games are perfect! but the best of all is GT 4, because of the photo shoots, the tracks, and quality level, and the AI. the game is superb. I rarely won in there when i use the Mini, now thats competition, i didn't have time to play GT 5, (but i have it.) because Fallout New Vegas and NFS Hot Pursuit takes my time to play those games.

Gran Turismo. The Real Driving Simulator, The Drive of you life.
