Sorry to break it to you early, but you cannot escape from the A-Bomb that is Gran Turismo 5. It's going to be the "Starcraft 2" for the consoles. People will sell their houses for this game. My advice to people who own the 360 only (The Wii will not get affected as much), it's time to face it. When Gran Turismo 5 comes out, Microsoft will just give up. They are smart people. They know they cannot compete with a game as huge as Gran Turismo 5. Turn 10 is going to shut down the day it comes out and go work for Polyphony Digital. The end is coming, and it starts, next Christmas. :twisted:

charx2

Does anyone ever learn? If it comes out and gets a 7-8.5, people will remember exactly what you said, then they will say gt5 flopped and it continues and continues and......conti.......an...... You make the rest of us cows look bad

If GT5 doesn't get AAA, it's pretty much a flop. The franchise is locked at AAA expectation/hype status lol.

I'm hoping that by the time GT5 comes out, so will killzone 2 and the latest god of war. Hopefully another price drop as well. Its been such a long time since the last GT that I might buy this one.

I've had every main GT game (minus a prologue or demo here and there) and they are awesome games. However, Forza does racing better.

Forza Motorsports series poops all over the gt series. The only ones that don't see are blind fanboys who have only played grand turismo. First things first plz get rid of those BORING license test, Bumper car physics, and crappy A.I.

the only thing grand turismo has going for it are the graphics and music soundtracks, nothing else.

I have mixed feeling about those tests - i liked them - but that might just be because they had all the assists turned off

Then most of the world must be blind fanboys because they chose GT over Forza. IIRC GT4 sold more than Forza 1 and 2 combined. Must be a lot of fanboys.

Wow, sony's fanboys tipical response, "What sold more". Just because it sold more doesn't mean it's the best. Let's compare Blue ray to a normal DVD, since normal DVD's are far outselling Blue Ray's, that means traditional DVD's are way better, offcourse in your logic!

His arguement has already broken anyway. I only own a 360 and PS2, I can tell you right now that Forza is overrated.

Yep. It's hard for Forza to match GT when the respective platforms have a 1:5 userbase ratio.

But GT = GT. People buy consoles for the games, not the games for the console. If GT5 is like GT4 then it will move consoles. I'm not going to say how much, but I'm pretty sure there will be a bump in PS3 sales.

I think people do BOTH. Some fanatics will certainly buy a console for their favorites, but not all or even most. It can't really be proven or disproven, but I'd venture to say that had (as a for instance) GT4 been on the original Xbox, it would NOT have moved the units that it did on a 110+ million selling console. High profile exclusives do sell systems to an extent, and this one will move many, but game popularity is certainly aided by being on the "winning" platforms. I mean, in the end, what spike did MGS4 do for the PS3, a game that it looks will be the GOTY for 2009? A couple of weeks?

Forza is good but its not as good as GT5 as a racing SIM. GT has always been about pin point precision in cars looks and handling. Its the definitive console simulator. It cannot be beaten. The devs behind the game have lins, and they have a trend of delaying a game until its perfectly ready...

2012 the world ends, it's over.Hitman533

I think that is what the TC was trying to say...when Gran Turismo is release in 2012, it's over.

Heck, if Home & KZ2 took this long to release, I think it is fair to say that 2012 is a good estimate for the release Gran Turismo.

TC is right. Look at this:

Playstation:

Best-selling gameGran Turismo, 10.85 million shipped ( as of April 30 2008 )[7][8]

Playstation 2:

Best-selling gameGran Turismo 3: A-Spec: 14.89 million shipped ( as of April 30, 2008 )[5]

And the entire series has sold over 50,000,000 copies to date.

There is no doubt that Gran Turismo 5 will be the best elling game on the Playstation 3.

"Initially, "Gran Turismo" was an "alternative" racing game, kind of an outsider in the genre." said Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of Gran Turismo on a press release on Kotaku. "And we made it thinking that it would be okay as long as it reached out to "the select few who would agree with us". So this figure, 50 million units - is simply astounding."

"When Gran Turismo 5 hits shelves, it's over."

I completely agree....Then and only then all this talk of GT5 being a superior game will finally end......GT as a franchise has been garbage for the past 7 years and will not change until Poly pulls their arrogant heads out of their butt and makes a proper game....

Every time I play GT5P.....A part of my soul is consumed into that lifeless, stale, Al Bundy of SIM racers...

The end is coming, and it starts, next Christmas. :twisted:

Just stop....every big game Sony has cows start this nonsense. First MGS4 ends it, then LBP ends it, now a racing sim. Just enjoy your game, the xbox brand is not going anywhere in the forseeable future. Come to grips with it.....Sony blew their lead.

Sorry to break it to you early, but you cannot escape from the A-Bomb that is Gran Turismo 5. It's going to be the "Starcraft 2" for the consoles. People will sell their houses for this game. My advice to people who own the 360 only (The Wii will not get affected as much), it's time to face it. When Gran Turismo 5 comes out, Microsoft will just give up. They are smart people. They know they cannot compete with a game as huge as Gran Turismo 5. Turn 10 is going to shut down the day it comes out and go work for Polyphony Digital. The end is coming, and it starts, next Christmas. :twisted:

According to fart_storm, it'll be over when KZ2 comes out...ha ha ha. You guys are too much. I'm sure you expected the same thing to happen when MGS4 came out and when LBP came out and when Resistance 2 came out...but it didn't. Neither KZ2 or GT5 are special enough to make that big a difference. There are too many FPS and driving games out already. I don't see either game making as big of a difference as you're hoping for.

thats a bit of a stretch. I belive that it will be a combination of games like KZ2, GOW3, GT5, Heavy Rain, White Knight Cronicles, Infamous, Uncharted 2 ect. that will put PS3 at #1. Its not a stretch to say that PS3 could be #1 in sales as far as games and hardware at the end of 09.

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"]

TC is right. Look at this:

Playstation:

Best-selling gameGran Turismo, 10.85 million shipped ( as of April 30 2008 )[7][8]

Playstation 2:

Best-selling game Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec: 14.89 million shipped ( as of April 30, 2008 )[5]

And the entire series has sold over 50,000,000 copies to date.

There is no doubt that Gran Turismo 5 will be the best elling game on the Playstation 3.

"Initially, "Gran Turismo" was an "alternative" racing game, kind of an outsider in the genre." said Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of Gran Turismo on a press release on Kotaku. "And we made it thinking that it would be okay as long as it reached out to "the select few who would agree with us". So this figure, 50 million units - is simply astounding."

NewsKing

San Andreas sold nearly 20M on PlayStation 2, so fail.

No, it sold 12 million on the PS2, and 21 total.

Agreed. Hell, the PS3 is having trouble matching numbers with the 360 right now, so I'd say the Wii is pretty much out of the PS3's range. Also, while the PS3 has some big games coming next year, the lineup is being hyped exactly like the previous couple years' lineups: "OMG teh gamez this year will OWNZ0RZ!!! PS3 FTW!!!!" There will be some flops, and some games with underwhelming sales. '09 isn't going to push the PS3 over the top, just like its launch didn't, and just like '08 didn't. And as to GT5: The PS3 install base simply isn't great enough yet for GT to have such a pronounced impact. Maybe when the game becomes a Greatest Hits title in a few years and sells for like the next 5, but until then, it will simply be another big (probably) AAA title.

Why is it that all multi-platform releases look like absolute crap on the PS3, but the JAPANESE, of all people, what with them being nation that does not have a strong graphics industry when compared to other game-making nations, ironically produce these awesome, and beautiful games? I'm going to buy a PS3 for this.

[QUOTE="angelkimne"]Just like Sony gave up when Halo 3 came out?GnR-SLaSh
However much I love the game, I think we all know that Halo 3 wasn't the A-bomb it was cranked up to be...

Well it certainly was in sales, which is what I was talking about.

In 6-7 hours - yes, because I'm about to go to sleep since it's 3:40 am in my timezone at the moment.

I sold Gran Turismo 5 P, but I do plan to Buy the real 5 once they have all the cars in it... There was not enough cars in Prologue for me... I'm thinking about getting a racing wheel too...
