How realistic is Gran Turismo 5? Very realistic!!

http://www.gossipgamers.com/how-realistic-is-gran-turismo-5-very-realistic/

I think im sold on getting the wheel for this game. Hopefully I can find one that simulates the small movements of the wheel when trying to keep control of the car

I agroo with you on GT, love the game; have a racing wheel that I use with GT5P. The wheel is awesomeyou really do have so much more feel for the car than with a controller. I would suggest a wheel from Logitech, they make a special edition wheel for Gran Turismo. Check em out at Logitech.com but shop aroundyou will find them cheaper elsewhere.

Man, if that's what they call realistic then I'd do pretty well to stay out from behind the wheel of any of those vehicles in real life. I don't know what it is, but the brakes seem to really suck on whatever car that was you drive in the time trial. I'd be going 60 coming to a curve, slam on brakes, and be 50 yards off into the sand before the car actually stops. That's realistic? Mr. GoodWrench says..... NO.TheEldestGod

A wheel for GTP and GT5 time trial is worlds different from using the controller. I bought the DFGT and couldn't believe the difference it made while playing Prologue. I don't want to seem like a jerk but I'm pretty sure if you are driving a real car at 90+mph your not going to come to a stop right away. A car without antilock brakes is def. not gonna stop if you hammer down the brake pedal. Braking going into a corner is a huge mistake, you brake and release before turning the wheel.

I will def. give this a look. Thanks.

Ok i tried the little time trial thing and couldn't handle the car worth anything.....but I do have to give it to them on graphics. I was jst watching that video and I was like cool we can get some cool motorcycle racing "looking" gloves to wear to look at while we have the view inside the car. Then I realize that wasn't the game footage it was real footage :shock:. I got tricked out from real to virtual. Pretty cool stuff.

Its easier in real life when i drive on Gran Turismo i always crash lol wth.

Why do you have a mass murderer as your avatar? Just curious if you know that or not.

[QUOTE="TheEldestGod"][QUOTE="shabab12"] considering GT has the closest in game lap times vs real life, i would say its a problem with the speedometer. It handles just like a real car, its just for example, when it says your traveling at 90mph, your actually going closer to 50. GreyFoXX4

[QUOTE="GreyFoXX4"]

Yeah, I had no problem with the steering. Maybe you're right about the speedo. I dunno. I just felt drunk trying to hit them curves just right. I never could get the hang of it. I can drive a real car just fine, so maybe the controller itself its what's ruin it for me. Maybe this game is just meant to be played with a wheel. That makes sense, too, because I'm pretty sure my F-150 wouldn't handle too well with a sixaxis. TheEldestGod

That's some impressive technology. Now if only the environments didn't look like crap I'd be totally immersedistuffedsunny

I wouldnt mind buying the steering wheel for this game, i loved playing all the past GT games, i love its super realism simulation racing. and normally i dont even like racaing games.

Im no Professional racer but i already faced overstreering while driving a real car. The only thing missing from GT5 is your bodys G force, the rest is flawless, at least in GT5: Prologue

The demo was not even so much a demo. The sole purpose of it was to show people how the new physics were going to behave and in the process be a contest, simple as that. The only thing that this demo actually demonstrated was how the new physics behave. It was only roughly 200 MB.

That being said, yeah, the graphics were pretty bland, Forza 3 looks a hell of alot better.

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="Adziboy"] If your talking about the time trial, the size of it was like 200mb. They cut it down completely.KyBoOtEr

Im pretty sure the reason it was 200 meg was so people could download it, enter the competition and not have to download heaps.

They cut the graphics of pretty much everything, dont expect the final product to look anything like the time trial. If you do expect it to, your an idiot.

In response to the user that posted about the sucky driving; drive a real car that fast, slam the brakes on, and see what happens. If your going over 150mph and slam the brakes on, the car is going to lock up, all the weight will shift into the front of the car, and make it hard to turn.

This is a racing simulation.

And people wonder why Japanese cars are so much more popular than American.
