The online service period for Gran Turismo 5 has come to an end.
Nice transitions from 9:14 - 9:28, and from 13:40 to 13:52. i extend the second transition as the next turn to take is a slight left into a slight right on spa and then the next clip shows a left turn into a right turn
12:28 GT5 was developed for 5 years, but was 4 after the PS3 released
Does the screen tearing still happen at 720p? if ran at "1080p" then it would drop below 60fps, making screen tearing
the way you said low at 14:22 bruh lmfao
14:36 Missed opportunity to say "Now, what game do I actually like going into much later? RAID SHADOW LEGENDS" and then have a sponsor segment for and by notMG
I hate that GT5 keeps asking me to log in into PSN when its online features are no longer active.
To this day i still don't know how to change that.
@@BionicTenshi96 (still Just a Waffle, different account)
It’s not just GT5. If a game isn’t able to connect to PSN servers, you would be logged out of PSN in-game, and sometimes on the XMB as well.
I do not believe you can change this.
Logging into PSN will not fix the problem, because the games PSN services have been shut down.
Anyone else viewing, correct me if I’m wrong.
Gran Turismo 6:
“A connection to the server could not be established (ID = 1:536)”
“You cannot go any further without singing into PSN”
🥺😭😭
I really loved GT5, and it was the biggest jump in the series in terms of content and features: dynamic weather and time, damage, customization, track editor, WRC, online, Nascar, Top Gear, a partnership with Sébastien Loeb, Jeff Gordon and Sebastian Vettel...etc. but I think that was part of the problem, it was too ambitious.
As well as that, think about the small number of rally tracks, limited track editor, bad animations for the drivers that they collaborated with, damage being limited to higher levels (???) and specific cars, etc... Quantity and ambition trumped quality in GT5.
me too is my favorite simcade racing game on the ps3 also the graphics are beautiful for this console
also the demo thats are the prologue was made in 2007 thats insane and they delayed in 2010 for the full version
I played it in 2010 when it came out. I don't know why but I was really disappointed but couldn't tell why
When it came out I was so excited about it, I had been playing gran turismo 4 for years, and I absolutely loved the in depth tuning of the game, being able to fine tune the vehicle with the suspension setting, the differential, the weight distribution and especially the gearing ratios. GT5 was super amazing at first but once I realized the complete lack of gear ratio tuning in GT5, I was completely and utterly disappointed with it and couldn’t play it any further. That to me was a huge turning point and it tainted what would have been a pretty awesome game
Jump in content ? 😂😂😂
By adding all the cars from GT4 😂
I love Gran turismo 5, and nobody can change it
Ye this guy sucks
Me too. Still love Gran Turismo 5 despite all the shortcomings.

While I think PD are to blame for a lot of this game's problems, I also think that some of its issues are because of the PS3 itself and how much of a headache it was to develop for. I think it's fair to say that the career structure and UI could have easily been better, but the game's mediocre graphics are somewhat forgivable given the hardware they were developing for imo.
The PS2 was equally as difficult to develop for and was in many ways similar to the PS3 in architecture, yet GT3 and GT4 were still revolutionary for their time. I just think PD just struggled with the jump to HD like a lot of Japanese developers at the time
@@spiral7399 I think people fail to remember that GT4 absolutely bought the PS2 to its knees and ran like dogshit just like the PS3 games did. GT5 was just very unoptimized, GT6 runs worse in framerate but the rest of the game runs significantly faster.
@@SonicBoone56 that's objectively untrue, GT4 is locked to 60fps despite the graphical improvements and even has a 1080i mode (when most PS2 games could barely even hit 480i). I still own the game on PS2 and have played it recently btw.
@@spiral7399many devs have said the ps3’s cell was harder to work on than anything and they basically had to relearn how to make their games for it
@@hablicious6117 CELL is a direct evolution of the PS2s emotion engine. Both had strong CPUs with multiple coprocessors that were used to assist an underpowered GPU. Both relied on split memory. Considering polyphony basically mastered the PS2 with the GT games, I'm pretty sure the PS3s hardware isn't to blame. Many japanese devs simply struggled with the jump to HD.
A great summary of this game would be this quote from Colorshed Productions review
"For a game that took almost five years to develop this feels incredibly rushed."
I think either GTPlanet or IGN said this - “A 10/10 simulator wrapped up in a 5/10 game.”
@@TheJakeMG Major media giving GT5 '10/10' as a simulations is definitely fitting bullshit marketing of this game.
@@gameboyterrorysta6307 what were the 10/10 console racing sims back in 2010?
@@lasagna187 Propper racing simulation is something relatively new, trust me, back then GT along Forza was one of the best examples of simulation you could find around, which despite sucking for today standars in that time (and yes Im talking of 2010) was pretty nice.
@@lasagna187 There were none. Forza is not a sim, never was. Gran turismo was close but still not a sim.
Just finished watching the video, i'm really glad you got to finish the video despite all the trouble with the editing software lmao. Is weird how the game lacks in lots of stuff previous GT games had, when it was delayed several times through a couple of years. I loved this video a lot, really informative and you have very valid points, keep up the great work!
PD: I can't wait until you do the license tests for GT7. Seeing you guys play through every GT game was really fun, looking forward to March 4th!
The license tests in GT7 still more punishing than in 5.
GT6 fixed most of GT5's issues by making everything far more consistent and not going too ambitious. It's more like a "reeling it back into reality" update. And that's why the modding community focuses on GT6, it's the more polished game and doesn't require anywhere near as many things to be fixed. Just imagine if GT5 was like GT6 at launch......
Yep. More detailed car sound and interiors on all 1000+ cars in the game.
I like the bspec aspect. Since you train your drivers and they ain't just anonymous you get a feeling of relation. I also like casually watching races sometimes.
B Spec in GT5 is basically like watching real life full races since you cant speed up those races anymore, although you can still do Mid Session Endurance Race Save during ANY endurance race events much like F1 2013 to 24 does.
I honestly enjoyed the variety of cars GT5 had. Sure there were cars that were more detailed than most but the less detailed ones were still good to use. Or at least some of them were.
Like the 2002 Fairlady Z Concept LM for example.
13:25 wtf is capay ring? lol
I think thats Cape Ring.😂
Alright, I'm commenting again on this video as I didn't get a chance to elaborate my views on your video overall. I agree with you on most of the issues in the game, though I will say I didn't notice anything rough about the visuals outside the obvious standard cars. I remember defending them quite a bit when I first played GT5, often thinking they were better in than out. But now, I feel like they were a waste, I would've rather have PD spend the time just modeling a few more PS3 tier cars than just port all of the PS2 cars over.
The second issue with them in GT5 is that they make the car list feel inflated. Yes, there's over 1,000 cars in the game, but a good portion of that list are cars very similar to each other, especially the ones that are region rebadges of each other like the Mazda MX-5/Miata/Eunos Roadster for instance. PD should've just kept the JDM models and dumped the rest.
I'm soooo glad you mentioned the B-Spec mode, this peeved me, having to playthrough the same career mode twice, but with an AI driver doing it. To add insult to injury about not being able to speed up the race, they tripled the race length of each event. I HATED that! and I believe the prize cars were better too, which was annoying.
Until the season events and daily login bonus got established, the in-game economy was also terrible with some cars costing between 10 and 20 million credits, meaning if I wanted a Ford MkIV, I would have to spend countless hours grinding for it. A problem that still hasn't been fixed in GT Sport.
Lastly, I will agree with you on the level up system being a big problem, buutt if I'm honest. I didn't struggle as much as you. I remember being able to get to level 15 quite easily, I didn't notice issues with it until the high 20s and lower 30s. Maybe because I did a different path from yours?
Great comment! I'm playing GT5 for the first time right now and I find the B Spec portion of the game to be my least favorite part- due to it's length.
I also find the leveling up to be problematic. I had no issues starting, but I'm at level 30 now and have to mindlessly grind just to level up. Also, if it's true I will need 3 B Spec drivers to finish the final 2 races of the game, that's like finishing the game 3 times just in B Spec!
I'm also waiting for the Gran Turismo Formula to appear in the UCD, which is another huge pain of this game, considering how rewarding getting a F1 car is in GT3&4.
Sadly though, I am experiencing this game for the first time way past it's prime. I will never get to experience online racing and all of the other perks the online option allowed, which was a first for the GT series up until this point.
@@mickfavel1389B Spec events in GT5 has double the amount of laps (triple in Super GT).
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who thought GT5 looked rough, I especially despised the extremely pixelated shadows and reflections, even for 2010 standards they were bad.
The game was VERY enjoyable online though, there were actual role play lobbies believe it or not lmaoooo
i never played gt5-6 online lobbies but is it the '85 MPH top speed or get kicked out' lobby like in sport ?
@@aujorduunforte2922 nah, some players used to play as police and chase anyone that was speeding/going the wrong way lol
@@MrTARIQSs oh that sounds more fun than what i just said tbh lmao
@@MrTARIQSs - That shit was dumb.
@@MrTARIQSs there was also events just to show off cars!
Great vid! Came to watch it after your FH5 Dead vid popping up in my Recommendation. Well put together content! U earned my sub
When I first got my PS3 (meaning a friend of mine lend it to me bcs he didn't use it anymore) I immediately put my head together on which Gran Turismo I should buy, and after scrolling through many articles and not filling the red bar on many CZcams videos-I set my eyes on 6 because from what I understand at that time, you can still get update files and it's not really an abandonware like 5.
And here I am 4 years later, wathing this video and I couldn't be happier with my purchase lol
Good review as usual. Literally just subbed to your channel yesterday but have been wathcing your videos for the past 3 months and I'm guilty that I didn't do it sooner.
i never actually played gt5 online but the career itself i found super enjoyable back in 2013 and now in 2023. It just has so much to do and work for and the game itself is just so nice to sit in and listen to the music. Games definitely not perfect but compared to gt6, 7 and sport, its the last gt game that actually tried to remain traditional and that in itself is something to appreciate
GT5 is maybe one of my favourite games of all time, simply because it is so mental. It makes no logical sense to make the menus look like that, or have over 1000 cars (most of which look crap), or have a separate garage menu where you can have your oil changed, or watch a computer driver in your car for 24 hours… but that’s just GT5.
Same thing for me.
14.18: GT5 is difinitely not the worst game of the GT franchise. GT3 was good as long as you didnt notice that it lacks cars and tracks, and until you realize how strong the rubberbanding of the AI is.
And the first GT despite being a revolutionary game was pretty short and could be beaten in a week, while other GT games needed around 150-200h to complete(GT5 needed more than 500 hours)
Man.. I am glad you decided to pick up a few games in the GT series.
As a car enthusiast, I find joy in so many different entries in the racing genres. It would be a shame to just stick to one, as so many have such a unique apporoach.
Every entry has something to appreciate, and its own quirks.
It's never as serious as some make it seem, to be so dedicated to ONE series.
b spec was seperate because they could then add more prize cars for each event, making it necessary to play for some cars to bump up play time.
It bump up the play time by 4 more times in fact.
I love GT5 even with its flaws, I'm playing it again recently and I enjoy it even more because I changed the way I play, made possible only because THE ONLINE SERVICE PERIOD FOR GRAN TURISMO 5 HAS COME TO AN END. The graphics aged meh, a bit dark but I could live with it(I'm sick of screen tearing though). I have no problem with the level progression, mainly because I tune my car while racing(gives me xp) and I repeated a lot of races due to me having less than 100pp or more compared to my opponents because they're THAT slow. I made the game difficult for myself because I used save editor to give me tons of money to make grinding obsolete, it's my way of balancing the game and it's way more enjoyable because I was racing to win, not to earn money.
I agree with your take on the UI being rubbish but more than the UI design itself, I felt like the whole thing was just so slow, it isn't hard to navigate in terms of visibility or the amount of infos on shown on screen, it's just slow for me. The cursor animation takes time and you can't move them quickly, the transition between screens takes MORE time, so it made the whole process of tuning, going to auto shop, buying cars, and choosing track become so tedious. I wish we could change cars/race settings during practices to make life so much easier too, I think that's the worst offender on the functions of the game.
My main complaint on this game is the race difficulty. The AI's could've been more aggressive, there's no tire wear in races(offline), and there's no tire restrictions. Next is the Used Dealership, way too much Mitsubishi 3000GT, MX-5, just JDM in general. I'm a JDM guy myself but I think PD was a bit too biased on the selections. Also, the rare high end cars are way too expensive considering your wallet cap is only 20M, the price of 330 P4 Race Car '67 is 20M so wtf is this?
I wouldn't recommend this game unless you use save editor like I do, the grinding is nuts, makes racing a chore so you would simply use the fastest car/best tire to make winning guaranteed, it's boring. Save Editor(add money/cars/DLC) guide is on gtplanet if you're interested and happen to read until here, also you can refresh Used Dealership by going to license tests, and enter the first one and just go to the next test without actually playing. Do this until you reach the 6th test(that's if you started from the first), and then leave. Yay, your Used Dealership is completely refreshed. That's my gift for those who read this long comment lol.
Peepeepoopoo.
Not to mention that they included 2 F1 ferraris and you cant use them anywhere except in online mode or arcade I believe.
@@jackedup447unless if it is ran on Master Mod. Ferrari 330P4, GT40 Race Car, and XJ13 all costed $20.000.000. Same also to X2010, X2011 Prototype and X2010 5G.
I will say that GT5 is my personal least favorite game in the mainline series, but not the worst GT period. GTPSP is worst imo.
Man, This game just feels like 5 years in development was just people laying off and being lazy, No one really cared for it, and the amount of delays it got didn't give it any justice. Thankfully Polyphony have learnt their mistake with GT5 and 6, after GTS' pretty stellar graphics, modes, cars etc. Although it isn't a perfect GT game, i.e the penalty system and some other stuff, It still holds strong and imo, it's probably the best Racing Game for the PS4, currently, Very hyped for GT7 and I think it'll be the Best GT of All Time. Hopefully...
best gt my butthole
i was VERY surprised when i found out GT5’s release date.
i thought it was a launch title… nooooo no no, i was way off.
11:49 I lol'd so hard at the B-Spec mode having its own career mode
For me GT5 was hella fun when at one point ppl could mod cars, like lower them more than possible, remove spoilers, change colours, do engine swaps, it was alot of fun but then they patched em ahahha. But yeah i also think GT5 is one of the weekest but online was fun, and i miss the random car feature to create like random car races
The U.I. was made slow to hide the long loading times
Gran Turismo 5 had dodgy development and it showed. Despite its many flaws it's still enjoyable, it's a like a perfect split between good and bad.
12:08: B spec can help you understand if your car setup is good. Poorly tuned cars are driven really bad by B spec drivers while the ones you setup correctly, meaning they are stable, have lot of grip and handle well and accelerate well, are driven pretty well by the B spec drivers.
Even in 2024, i still love Gran Turismo 5 despite all of its problems like all 830 cars from Gran Turismo 2 to PSP are hidden on "Used Car Dealership".
Im not gonna tolerate gt5 hate, gt7 deservese it though
Welcome to the world of Gran Turismo, where inconsistencies & amnesia rule, the long history of putting in feature that improves the gaming experience, only to be removed on the next release. If they could ever combine the features, content, progress from all the past games, it would be hell of game, but with the current game (GT7) there back to forgetting again. In GT Sport in the Arcade Mode the first thing it ask for is what car you want to use, in GT7 if you have the wrong car you have to navigate all the back out to the garage, then navigate back to the event. GT4 was almost perfect, but the car list wasn't my favorite, I would rather have had car thumbnails, combined with a list/search feature so I quickly know what I'm looking at.
GT5 is a product of how nightmarish it was to develop for the PS3. It isn't however the worst entry in the series that honor has to go to GT6.
How is GT6 worse than 5?
@@TheJakeMG The career mode was too easy in comparison to other Gran Turismo games. The fact that you cant enable fuel depletion and tire degradation in the arcade mode was a feature missing. AI were too easy in that game too. I had more fun playing with the AI in Forza Motorsport 5 than I did with Gran Turismo 6.
@@XxmetalHeadxX88 I can agree it was a bit too easy - but that's nowhere near as bad as all GT5's shortcomings to me.
nahh, it goes to sport the honor of the worst game
I hated the leveling up system. I can't even do the 24 hour races despite finishing the previous endurance races. And I really hated getting the formula gran turismo. I nedded that car to enter the FGT championship. But that car can only be obtained in the used car dealership and it rarely appears.
During development, PD were also working with nascar, redbull, topgear, WRC, and they were also creating gran turismo TV. PD were basically doing a lot of stuff and I think that really hurt the career mode.
For me, I think GT5 would be a lot better if PD focused only on the single player career mode, no standard cars, no b spec mode, and removed leveling up system. The standard cars were just embarrassing. I also felt embarrassed just by driving them. I remember when my dad was watching me play and I put the camera in cockpit view, my dad said "Why is the interior all black? That's not how it looks like in real life? Where is the steering wheel?"
And the b spec mode is so frustrating. If I remember correctly, there is a historic car championship and monaco was one of the tracks. My AI driver would always crashed at the chicane after the tunnel. Honestly, b spec mode just made me angry.
What breaks it for me is the leveling up system. Progress is so slow and I can't even enter a championship even though I have the correct car. The broken leveling up system just brings the game to a halt. I would not recommend GT5 to anyone.
B-spec is just super wacky in GT5, and you have to grind your drivers up just to have them control their cars just a bit better than normal. Thankfully I somehow got my A spec up to 30 and just did the sebasstian vettel red bull challenge and bronzed all the challenges just so that I can have a significantly easier time in B-spec.
6:23 Standard Cars are the number 1 reason why I didn't like GT5 and 6.
Wait a minute, the showroom menu was really this way? I'm playing now, and looks different... But still weird because the used car dealer has a lot of cars and some brands that doesn't appear in the showroom
Its so funny because i played every GT game and enjoyed 5 more than 4, i got it after the online service ended in 2018 or so, i enjoyed it since the physics were so nice, the car selection was good, the tuning was detailed, I was kinda miffed with the progression and stuff but i just had a lot of fun testing and tuning cars, the content for a game made in 2011 with really good physics was super impressive, in some ways they went above and beyond like the course maker, some of the most successful racing drivers having cutscenes with their respective events (even tho they looked like sleep paralysis demons), I feel this game is just a case of a double edged sword, and they seemed to really push the boundaries of what they could do with the ps3
“Cape-y ring” fucking lol
I had NO idea how to pronounce it back then LOL
Well, there's one thing that I really hated about GT5: the grind. How many times do you have to drive the same cars on the same tracks in the same events to buy a car that costs 5,000,000 Cr? What about 10,000,000 Cr? Just considering the amount of grind it takes to get those is ridiculous. Hell, there's not even enough racing content to keep yourself entertained during the grind. Are you supposed to just grind your way through Polyphony Digital cup and suffer 40 minutes-long drive on wet Nürburgring for 56 times? Seems like fun, lol.
Another bummer is that you can't win prize cars more than once. That just kills the used car salesman attitude of mine.
Nice to see GT5p acknowledged
How i can play me the cars on Gran turismo 5 withoute run the car it self ?
The more you play it. The more you love it. Ive pkayed gt5 since 2016 and was stuck with that until 2022
I’m curious to know what version you’re playing. GT5 was severely underdone when it was initially released so much so I didn’t play it for quite some time. It wasn’t until I finally got connected to the internet that a lot of things changed.
I’ll admit there was quite a lot wrong with GT5 specially with offline play, but they almost absolutely nailed online play particularly for structured private events. I miss those days
The only problem in Gran Turismo 5 is the time it takes to reach max level, LEVEL 40 on both A and B Spec plus you cant speed up races anymore in B Spec.
A fair analysis on my second fav gt game, it gave me shadows of our past and thats all I need.
If you want to play gt5 I would highly recommend master mod it makes thing so much easier and fun
dont let anything pull you down enought to "HATE". lets eradicate ignorance.
I'll always be a GT5 defender since it was my first racing game I ever played. That may be nostalgia blinding me but I dont care lol
Ong, played the psp one and gt4 too, but gt5 is goated and ppl who say forza is better need a checkup
@@bhadzyt I will say, Forza has some better aspects, such as the car models. But I'd take GT5 every day of the week
@@ChaosqueenMaddy me too, yk what imma play gt5 today and maybe some bo2 lol, gotta take out my ps3 and put ps5 to rest
I hate it too and don't understand why people think gt6 is the worst(I thnk it is the best)
You can turn the PS3 to 720p mode, this makes the GT games run a bit better and it lessens the screen tearing. Otherwise yeah these games look rough
Sign into PlayStation™️ Network?
GT 4 👍
I hope you know that if you acsess "settings" to help with the user interface. i love GT5
I had a lot of fun beating everybody in 500 pp Nurburgring online lobbies with the M3 CSL that I never cared about any of this lol.
Am I the only one who doesn't play reverse tracks
The Gran Turismo 5 of The 2010 World Driver Championship Season Was A Very Difficult Time For Us Drivers Players.
I was there. And I played all GT games since 1998 and GT5 IS BY FAR THE WORST IN THE SERIES imo and my least favorite. And for the very reasons you mentioned in that really cool video! But for me the blow was harder. I got the hype from Prologue and waited for years. Pre-ordered the most expensive version available in my country which went for 120€ and asked my wife to leav the house for a week so I could have some time for myself. Lol.
What a disappointment it was. A blow to the guts. I hated the franchise after this. And it took me years to come back to it.
And yes GT4 is by far the best in the series. Period. And FM4 is the GOAT. Forza has never reached such perfection since then but I'm hopeful for the next one coming soon.
1,000 cars is a little crazy. I play GT SPORT. I really like it, but i miss the tunning shop. it would make the game easier and more fun. do the PROGRAMMERS think I am a full time mechanic?!! but thank god 4 CZcams. it took care of all the issues in GT5. I NEVER PLAYED 6. good stuff hombre
Having played GT5 since release, I honestly never noticed some of the things you mentioned, though to be fair, I was fucking 6 when I started playing, I'm nearly 20 now
I bought an MR car, there's no MR race in Beginner Cup, I bought an Exhaust for my car and decided not to install it for now, where does it go, to the Item Menu, not the garage or the tuning shop, to the ITEM MENU. Yeah nice one Phonypoly.
On a serious note, in terms of progression and UX/UI design, its not any better than GT4 but I kinda let it slide sometimes.
I Grew up on Gran Turismo 1 and forza 1, it's crazy to see how games evolved but forza 4 was a game changer to wish i haven't sold my 360 lol.
as a person who loved GT5 to death, it really needed more fixing during development
U wanna fight?
Gran Turismo from 1 to 4 is just pure car gasm, each game is a complete package filled with content and passion.
Starting with 5, it's clearly on a downward spiral despite some elements (driving physics, graphics, customization) being improved with each new release
Ah man, I loved this game :/ GT5 & 6 were my biggest guilty pleasures
GT6 is great, IMO. Regardless, I get why people would enjoy GT5, especially back in the day. However, as I’m going through every game in the series this is how I feel about 5.
Well, to be started: my first GT was the fourth one, and I HATED IT. But it was because I was just bad at this kind of games and I was like 12 o 13, and some months later I played GT6, which was the same awful experience but with much better graphics.
Years after, I gave the GT franchise a 2nd chance. 4th was pretty good, but the handling wasn't so good for me (even though I was much better than before in this game), 6th was better in the technical stuff, like physics and graphics, but the career mode wasn't that interesting than 4, but I really liked GT6, especially because of the selection of tracks and the new Premium Cars added (The Rocket car is my fav car of the game, and it's a shame it isn't in GT7)
And then there was GT5, which was awful compared to 4 and 6. User menu was really bad for being a videogame... Loading times were suffering...and the experience overall wasn't ideal to me. The only thing that was better than 6, was with the locations of Photo Travel.
I have a physical copy of GT5, but I was thinking of changing it.
Don't know if I should go for a copy of GT6, or a copy of Dead Space 2 (since I've got this 2 amazing games in digital)
Edit in 2024: I finally said goodbye to my physical copy of Gran Turismo 5. Even with all its flaws, and still being the second worst GT of the franchise (the worst is the first one), I still had fun with it, especially after playing the disaster that the new Forza Motorsport was.
I changed GT5 for GT6 and I'm happy with it.
Mod your PS3 and install Spec 2 for GT6! And I agree, I love both 4 and 6 (I'm even a modder for GT6), but 5 gets literally no attention from me as it offers nothing either game can do minus the course creator.
@@SonicBoone56 I have GT6's mod.
It doesn't change the game that much, but what it changes, it makes it better game.
More events and better sounds was enough to make the game more enjoyable (GT6 compared to 5, already had more content)
GT5 is fun by itself (and even better compared to modern racing games), but it's a worse game than GT6 to me
I just bought Gran Turismo 1 and I'm playing it for the first time since 2001 and I regret it. Don't get me wrong, I like Gran Turismo, I started playing the Games in 2000 but then I stopped playing Gran Turismo 5: Academy Edition. I regret getting G.T. 1 because yesterday at afternoon took me 02 hours to complete both B and A Licenses and then I started I-A and now I'm stuck at I-A 2 where you have to complete a full lap at night with the red Dodge Viper, maybe I'm terrible at it but it's getting on my nerves, I really wanted to start recording some G.T. Gameplays for my Gaming channel and I'm starting to think that I will not be able to finish all the Licenses for G.T. 1. When I started playing G.T. 2 my neighbor and I took turns to complete Licenses/races and all of a sudden my save file on my PS1 memory card got corrupted, a friend of mine gave me his memory card with his cars and Licenses, I still have the memory card but the save file is long gone and now I have to complete everything again, I started playing G.T.1 on PS3 so I could copy the save file into a flash drive and then copy it to an external drive. If my save file get's corrupted/lost then I will give up Gaming in general.
i hate the most the stupid ai that can't overtake even on straighti always have to keep my car 100 hph less than the competition and its still way too easy
I prefer gt5 over the other titles. It has a bunch of singleplayer content (less than 4, but still a ton), way more so than 6 (which I quite dislike for that very reason, despite having way more cars and fixing a bunch of other things). It also looks nicer than 4 (well duh it runs on way newer hardware but still) the car models for premium cars are REALLY well made (they hold up to this day) and I didnt mind standard cars to be honest, just added a lot to the lineup and I get why they would do that
Sure the game has its issues but most (not all!) of this video feels like nitpicking to me.
not to say I wouldn't love 4 quite the opposite just 100%d it bout a year ago and loved every second.
just my opinion now let me have it in peace >:(
I'd love to share my views on all the points but meh cant bother :D
Well, GT5 was the reason I didn't buy PS3. I was playing a lot of GT3 and GT4 at relative's house in my childhood. I fell in love with FM2 and playing GT5 on friend's PS3 was such a downgrade...
I wonder if there is a behind the scenes technical investigation about why GT5 looked so meh. Did the developers had to redo the engine after GT5 Prologe? Did they run into an issue with hardware limitations?
yeah from GT5 onward they started to destroy the arcade and interface, its all so messed up lol but I still loved it because it compiled almost every gt4 car in one game and that was pretty cool, I guess...
I love realistic jeff gordon.
GT4 and Forza Motorsport 4... the pinnacle for console racing...
So I decided to play GT 6 once again. For this matter, I used RPCS3 on my PC. OMG, GT 6 crashes all the time, I'm very upset 'cause there are no games like GT series on PC (except Forza Motorsport 7, but this games feels different, and it freakin' crashes due to memory leak!)
After some time, I decided to check out GT 5. To my surprise, it runs almost flawlessly, 60 fps and improved graphics.
I can definitely say that GT 5 has a bit "arcadier" physics than GT 6, and grapchics seem to be a bit worse (colours, shadows and lighting + some standard car models look better in GT 6)
I am currently playing GT 5, and thinking to buy PS4 or PS5 just for the GT 7
GT6 is rough on RPCS3 - GT5 is much better on the emulator despite still crashing at times. GT7 could very well come to PC based on the NVIDIA leak from last year - I'd say hold out if you don't have a console, unless you can find a used PS4 for cheap.
@@TheJakeMG OMG! GT7 might come to PC? It would be awesome!
Alright then, I'll go to GT 5 for now, and will be looking forward to any news regarding GT 7 and RPCS3 development ('cause to me GT 6 is literally an automotive library, it seems there won't be such racing games with such a huge variety of cars in the near future)
I just finished GT6 for the first and last time. I'm never playing it again because it kept crashing! I'm kinda worried now about my PS3. It crashed 4 times last night and that was it- I'm done with that game!
@@mickfavel1389 oh, I'm feeling sorry for your PS3 :(
Such a great console, but the hardware is just getting older :(
I hope I'll be able to play GT 5&6 on my PC again once I come back home. We had to evacuate due to war in our country (Ukraine)
Gt5 being the first ever game that i played has biased my opinion a bit but, in terms of gt games gt sport and 7 does not feel like gt games at all tha is also true for gt6 to a certain extent. Would i rank gt5 as the best gt game, of course not but if i were to rank all mainline gt games i would put it somewhere in the middle above gt sport,gt1, gt6 and gt7 but below gt2,gt3,gt4
i hate GT5 prologue but like GT5
i agree with you everything you said now is true im disappointed how they did gran turismo 5 and 6. The gran turismo 4 and 3 are the best
And you didn't mention how GT5 doesn't limit career. In GT2 we were limited by horse power, but here we can use overpowered cars and quite often even if I try fit into rest of opponents my car's still too op for them, because AI sucks XD I like GT5 but there's plenty of stuff which annoyed me many times
I still like it
There is one thing you cannot deny. It is a very long game. More than 2 times longer than GT6
Longer games≠ Better games
I'm kinda in the same boat. Not that I didn't play GT 1,2 and 4. but I got a ps3 in 2016.
Played 6 and enjoyed it but it did feel inferior to 4.
5 was praised much more than 6 so when I tried it I expected it to be better.
It was not.
Playing other PlayStation 3 exclusives like LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted or even God of Fucking War 3 (that released on 2010 as well) just make Gran Turismo look like low quality games in comparison, when it used to be the opposite.
While Gran Turismo 6 was better quality wise than 5, I still think it was behind something like Killzone 3 or God of War Ascension in terms of quality
So you just explained to us that your biggest problem with GT5 is your own confusion?
The Gran Turismo series is for adults who really know their stuff.
I have played Gran Turismo since GT1 and I can assure you that GT5 is the best game in the series and one of the best racing simulators ever.
I'll try to explain A-SPEC and B-SPEC:
You're probably familiar with sports games like Football and Football Manager?
It's the same thing just that B-SPEC was for free and you could totally ignore it if you didn't like it.
I personally liked the B-SPEC Mode, the good thing was that the AI learned from your driving in A-SPEC, the better your skills were the better the AI would perform.
The biggest problem with B-SPEC whatsoever was that it wasn't well thought through.
You couldn't tell the AI in what sections to drive at which speed without manually changing it all the time, which means that you had to watch the whole race.
It was impossible to set a round or time or condition when to switch tires or refuel.
Also there was a bug when the B-SPEC drove an endurance race he would intentionally crash into the wall in a straight line and keep pushing into it till the next turn came up which made the longer endurance races unwinnable.
I'm glad you've found this series and I hope you'll invest more time into the core of these games, learn their essence and learn how to configure cars properly, also please don't compare it to Forza since they are very different games.
My personal top list is:
1. GT5
2. GT4
3. GT2
I know GT2 looks ruff these days but you should definitely try it, it has some quirks they never used again I really liked and it has one of my most favorite cars that unfortunately was never in any other game or series.
Oooh yeaaah ...
It got the music right, you can’t take that away
BRUHH YOU WERE A TC9700 FAN TOO?
if i had to talk abot the misleeds and mistakes of playstation you will be reading my coment for hour and a half
Same.
B Spec was a curse🤦
Great video. So many GT fans look back on this game game fondly and I'm always like really? This absolute travesty?
I have some nice memories of the multiplayer and finally being able play a GT game with a detailed interior view, but other than that I just remember feeling super let down. Everything was a downgrade compared to 3 and 4.
The U.I was terrible. The "standard" car stuff was such an absolute joke. I remember being so pissed because all of my favorite cars were standard cars that looked and played worse than in GT3 &4. The original tracks also looked terrible because they didn't tweak any of them to fit the new lighting model or even bump up the texture quality, so my favorite tracks trial mountain and deep forest raceway were fugly to look at. Rally which used to be super fun was a downgrade. The physics for the NASCAR racing and Go-Karting were downright laughable. The noises of the cars as a whole were a generation behind. B-Spec mode being tied to the progression ruined any freaking fun I was having in the career mode.
This game was lackluster. It was a letdown with broken promises and false advertising. It came off GT3 and 4 which were some of the best arcade racing sims of all time and fell on it's face. As a GT fan, this game was insulting to play. Sure the driving was still great and you could still have fun in the sandbox of cars, but you can just do the same thing with any past GT game and feel the huge difference in quality.
I did find allot more enjoyment with 6, and I believe 6 actually has allot going for it in comparison. 5 was bad. Thats it. If there was one game to make every PS3 owner yearn for Forza 3 and 4, it was Gran Turismo 5.
To me it’s sad that you actual hate this game, when I was 11-12 years old and I had Gran Turismo 5 it was perfect now being that I never played GT4 and not having that to compare it to I see a lot of points with certain things like the garage I guess but you did skip over in GT5 garage how you could search by country and also drivetrain. But oh well to each their own I think you were being very dramatic with a lot of the problems this game had. To me my biggest problem was how many cars didn’t have an interior just the darkness and that to me was my only complaint other than that when I was a kid this game kept me well entertained and gave me great fun.
I don’t know why this video was even thought of being made. Gran Turismo five was probably the best in its series when it comes to being whole It had so many events, tracks, cars and so many online options regardless of all of the minute things we didn’t like.
The S license was easier than the others 😂
You know not what you say!
This game is sp good u hate the littlest things, u have to do scrolling 😣
I HATE THE NURBURGRING SM
The real problem with this game is that the AI can't drive for shit and the game compensates by letting them start with a 10 second lead that you have to claw back by driving around the dumbass AI that love getting in your way. Also holy shit bro at least try to gold up to IC. They're not even hard except IC-1.
I was disappointed also
despite being postponed many times the game feels rushed to production
still a good racing game
to me the most disappointing Gran Turismo is Gran Turismo on PSP
it's half a game nt to say a demo
after the license the game is basically over
no career mode no mods
I would understand to remove endurance races to avoid ending with no battery during a race but no career at all come on!
GT5 not being 1080p isn't a fair criticism, most PS3/360 games targeted 720p and some were even below that. The fact t that they achieved such a high resolution with the PS3s underpowered GPU is actually really impressive.
People who has an adult automotive with at least 1 real car influence when they were kids: Likes Gran Turismo / Kids that cars were cool by themselves: Thinks that Forza motorsport has realistics physics.
bruh...... i hate foo ppl that complain about standard cars. you said it breaks emersion? those are sapose to be akin to dirty used cars dude. the fact of the matter is there are more, higher quality premium models than most games then had cars at all!
look i NERVER played this game in its prime, but upon installing the master mod, and just being able to experience the content(with a wheel), although i cannot begin to undestand hardship potentially endured to obtain content in the defualt game... what is offerd is among the near best in industry even now while offering its own forms of infinit replay value, espessially with the mastermod, adding LAN mode, unlock all, an(tho broken) event editor were you can add any cars to race you at ANY skill level.
you saying you hate this game makes you some foo. its the type of game thats never really bad nomatter what els is better...
gt5 is much better with the master mod, you will need a hen or cfw though.
