This is not surprising.

It's Gran Turismo.

I expected nearly twice that. Isn't this less than Halo: Reach? Before GT5:P you could say that the WORST selling GT sold way more than the BEST selling Halo.

Ah well, GT5 has at least surpassed MGS4 as the best selling PS3 exclusive.

Gran Turismo 5 is a great game, I think it deserved more but I still think people need to play it.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. I don't understand the hate.

240 hours in, and it's still pretty amazing. Most of the later A/B spec events turn into even better races and the seasonal events are always anticipated, welcome and come with a good pay out. 1000 cars includes a wide variety of vehicles of all class types, from Go karts, Kei Cars, Compacts, Hybrids, Electric cars, Hot Hatches, Sedans, Coupes, Sports Cars, Super Cars, Hyper Cars, GT1, GT3, Touring Cars, NASCAR, Les Man cars, F1 Cars, Fantasy Cars, amphibious cars, and even a Samba Bus. It has a lot of Japanese cars coming from a Japanese developer, predominately Nissans which is the Creator of the games favorite car and the Nissan GTR is a car that Kaz had a hand in designing and building and races irl including a 24 hr races at the Nurgring. You can paint cars with a new update you can change and paint the rim of standards, standard car cockpits and some good looking standard car open cockpits along with a popular, ever improving and still quite busy online functions kind of ensure that GT5 is a game that will have lasting appeal not only through the first year, but for years to come. I did really like the tracks as well as the weather in the Game too.

There is a large fan base for this game from the PS1 days.
I know a few people who went out and bought a PS3 specifically for this game, and they still only own this game. Being a motor enthusiast my self, I also played the hell out of this game.

well, given the ps3's sad library, them sony drones gotta by SOMETHING :lol:

[QUOTE="Nuck81"][QUOTE="Ironbash"] I don't care if its japanese or not, if they have an unbalanced number of cars it their own poor planning You can only paint a car with 1 single colour and no images/custom symbols etc. You have no auction house. Standard cars are utter rubbish and endurance races are a grind. Ironbash

Who races in chase cam? NO ONE who is half serious about driving games uses chase cam except for arcade games like Burnout or Split Second.

Can you tell which cars are standard in this photo and belongs on the PS2?

Endurace Races are Races not special events. And they come in their very own category in their very own menu. Lame Trolling attempt. You're really the first kid I've ever seen complain about endurance races...

[QUOTE="Ironbash"][QUOTE="Nuck81"] Forza has no night racing or weather. If I had to choose I'd pick no livery over weather and night racing. Some of the best cars in the game are Standards, they look just as good as premiums while you race. If you don't like the standards that you're fault not PD's. Yes Endurance races are a grind, that's kind of why they are endurance races. Endurance races are not for the casual ADD player. If you can't man up and concentrate for that long, don't race them.

LOL, of course I can't in photomode. But show me a live gt5 race screenshot between standard and premium and the difference is night and day. The fact that you need to complete all 15 endurance races x2 to get the trophy seems over the top whether you are dedicated or not, and the latter part of A/B spec is a grind whether you like it or not. Even Consolesimracing said this. Yes most people use Bumper view to get the best laptimes but there are those who use chase cam without fail. Ironbash

How about this Video Which cars are standard and which are premium? There is a mix. But I'm sure there will be an excuse as to why you can't tell.

The Trophy is for the hardcore, whether you like it or not. And the latter part of A/B Spec is not a Grind. I loved it. I ran and still run those races over and over with tons of different cars, and when I get a new car I run them again. If you didn't like it then maybe a Sim style Driving game is not for you. My Bspec has completed every race up to the 24 hour Nurburgring race, and I have completed every race up to the 9 Hour Tsukuba endurance. I'm still hunting for a few cars in UCD and don't want to lose my log in bonus because it would take me a few days to do the Tsukuba and a week or two to finish the 24 hour races.

wow i truly dont get how a racing game is this popular, Polyphony Digital confirms that GT5 have sold 7.3 Million units worldwide for the PS3 as of September of this year which means not counting black friday or this holiday sales :shock:.. thats not to mention the GT5P sold over 5 million alone which makes GT5 overall to over 12Million

maybe i should pick it up? not even a racing fan

thoughts?

( oh look its not a JRPG thread! :o )

I wouldn't pick it up if you aren't in to racing games. I got it knowing it was meant to be a racing 'simulator' but I didn't realise how much of a simulator it was. Polyphony Digital seemed to have created an interesting simulator but forgot to add, you know, that fun game part of it...
