I loved this game so much. I was literally just telling my wife how much this game meant to me and how much time I used to spend on it. despite its issues- it's one of my all-time best gaming experiences. so sad games like this just became obsolete

[@feeldontbelieve6577]

It is my 2nd favorite next to GT2 in terms of overall vibe. The fact they didn't carry over the premium car dealership presentation of GT5 into every subsequent GT is criminal. It is simply perfect!

[@feeldontbelieve6577]

@@Maximus20778 It is perfectly normal to recycle things when there is little to no ideas to make it better. Maybe it is already ahead of its time anyway like I thing the premium car selection screen in GT5 and the HUD elements in Sport is.

[@MegaRayland]

A few things to point out: - The final number of premium cars was just around 500 after multiple free updates. - While there were technical challenges GT5 was attempting a bunch of things Forza wouldn’t attempt for another decade (time of day, weather), or not at all (head tracking with the PSEye). - A lot of the issues with GT5 were fixed or improved with GT6 including menus, quantity out of the box, load speeds, online lobbies, availability of time of day and weather in ALL tracks (was limited to some in GT5), etc.

[@Sashko_Dee]

Hold up, I've got PSeye. Why am I only hearing about the tracking now? Does it work well with a controller or is it the type of thing that only makes sense with a wheel?

[@jamesmarkell3343]

It's gran turismo 6 that has 474 premium cars. Gran turismo 5's final number was 243.

[@pinkchckn]

Honesly, having played gt 1-6, forza 8, horizon 4 and 5, countless need for speeds, test drives and so many other racing games, gt5 is the one that brings the nicest memories. Not because of the single player mode, which was serviceable, but because of the online. I made so many friends, had sessions going to the same servers, and would race all night while chatting away with people from all around the world. I think this game was released on just the right time for online interactions. Companies weren't focused on instant match availability and just let people create their own servers, and players weren't aggressively competitive. We had a real sense of community there. I remember setting up a server sometimes, and there were always the familiar faces, paired up with a few new ones. We'd create our own racing rules, each server had their preferred ones, and it was very comforting to see it all working just fine. I still have some replays from that time saved up.

[@GameSpirit1]

Same for me, GT5 online was like a social network, just create a server and invite your friends, who invite their friends etc... No competition, no rammers just for fun.

About the DLC, there is a save editor from a few years back that allows you to modify your save via copying and pasting your save file to USB to the editor. From there you can get all of the old DLC that you can’t get anymore! After that’s done, you just copy and paste the modified save to your PS3 and bam. The fact you can somehow play online again AND get the old DLC is absolutely mind blowing and I love it. Great video too!

[@kevinb_45]

I went back and played GT5 before playing GT7. When GT5 came out, I was in the camp of people frustrated with PD for having the “standard” cars. Going back to the game, I appreciate the sheer variety of vehicles and oddball cars you can drive that are almost nonexistent in GT7. Sure they look terrible compared to their Premium counterparts, but it’s fun to have the ability to drive so many different vehicles from a Nissan Pao to JGTC and Group C LeMans cars.

[@Spitboy01-yt6od]

If only they have livery Editor tho

[@Punisher1_1995]

Here is some advice for if you review GT6, if you turn on flicker reduction in the settings it enables better AA and engages v-sync. Same for gt5 I think.

[@Randomaccount9470]

I like your funny words magic man

[@N7RiZe]

The reason why GT5 looks weird is mostly due to the resolution being stretched. GT5 runs at 1280x1080, that's the same horizontal resolution as 720p so that's a lot of stretching to appear on a 16:9 display (1280 to 1920). If you run in 720p you also get better anti aliasing at x4 msaa vs 2x qaa. GT6 would be a little better at 1440x1080 which is the equivalent to 4:3 1080p, but that's still stretching which makes the game look bad. I personally prefer to run it at 720p for the benefit of the more stable frame rate.

[@purwantiallan5089]

The car sound in GT5 for half of the 1118 cars looked quite weird.

[@juancorona3893]

Changing the ps3 resolution doesn’t affect frame rate, the internal resolution will still be 1080p but downscaled to 720p when selecting 720p. It will still run at 1080p regardless, unless you are talking about a resolution setting within the game and not the PS3’s XMB video settings.

[@Ebvidur]

@@juancorona3893 in GT5 changing resolution through the XMB does affect the internal resolution though. I think John from Digital Foundry said this in his 1080p games on the PS3 series

[@juancorona3893]

@@Ebvidur if that were the case, setting the resolution to 480p on the system should improve frame rates if the fps is not capped, but frame rates stay the same regardless of he resolution set. I know. Games don’t run at 1080p on the ps3, usually much lower, but 480p is still less work for the system that 720p and games that run at 720p still don’t run any better when setting the resolution on the ps3 to 480p. Game rendering on a video game console is different than a PC. If you have a ps3, give a game like RDR a shot at 1080p and 480p, game runs somewhere in between those res, yet the game will run exactly the same

A few of us worked together and practiced and we did a “party” to do the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A team of us rotated and drove, but a bunch of others came over and ate, drank, etc. GT5 holds a special place in my heart, what a game.

I started playing this game a couple of weeks after launch and was hooked to it like a Florida crackhead with a crack pipe, made friends playing online and partook in some community organized leagues and overall I had an absolute blast with the game throughout its lifespan, was sad to see it shut down in 2014. Recently I got into it through RPCS3 and my god all the memories came flooding back like no time has passed, despite all the flaws it had (and it had A LOT OF THEM) this GT was the one that had the most impact on me and I'll fondly remember it.

Your comment about Herman Tilker is sooo on point! I heard some seasoned commenters on tv expressing disdain for Tilker's tracks, too. I agree. They're uninspired 😭 I hope future potential tracks skip over Tilker 🤞🏿 Rumour has it a new track is in the works to be built in Tennessee or some neighboring state and MotoGP and F1 are interested in racing there. (though F1 are already racing COTA, Miami, Vegas.) Since Liberty Media now own F1 and just purchased MotoGP this year, they're fully pressing to tap into the American market. Drive to Survive has reportedly rocketed the popularity of F1 in the US, as well. And MotoGP have been looking for another track to race at other than COTA for whatever reason).. they've wanted to go back to Laguna Seca(sp?) but the bikes are so fast now there's not adequate run-off --as stated by their governing bodies safety commission. ...but i digress, fck Tilker tracks

This is going to be controversial take. I be ok having 243 premium car only but removing having standard car altogether . When GT3 came out they only have 180 cars right out the gate. it was significant massive cut from GT2 is due to PD team was using a new hardware of the PS2. In what if scenario I would tell kaz only have 243 cars in there, but added all cars turn into race modifications instead of some specific car, put more content like add coffee break, lot of challenges, and one make race. For Exp stuff if Kaz and his teams should have gone if you level up you get rewarded like cars, paint or maybe double credits, and plus remove that a player can’t buy a car based on level requirements. Just a wishful what if scenario thought.

[@Math_0027]

22:05 once again: the fact you can't correct oversteer properly in GT games is not the camera's fault. GT's steering has always been slow, which is the opposite of what you need to do to correct oversteer. I can catch slides all day in other games that have faster steering.

[@Skirakzalus]

What really brought down the experience for me (besides the stiff chase cam) is how they structured so much of this game around premium and standard cars. I can accept the concept as a technical necessity, but putting the standard cars all into the used car dealership where they aren't permanently available and even splitting the garage into those groups? It just sucks. They tried turning this limitation into a feature and it just made GT5 a worse game.

Also, the whole 3-D TV thing works better when there is a cockpit or like a visible helmet around the screen, so not being able to play it with internal view on because of it all being blacked out and off-putting, made the 3-D less effective than putting the telly's own fake 3-D on when playing a 2-D Forza game from the inside view.

But can you play the actual single player career mode though, or just mini-games and random one off races? Although, random one off races can be fun. especially with the amount of cars in GT. The worst thing about Project Gotham 2 on the OG X-Box was you could only do the set arcade races (about 16 tracks, out of hundreds, every event used a different track set-up) and even then ONLY driving the car they give you, was kinda heartbreaking when you race a bad-ass track in a shittbox GTI and can NEVER race it in a Porsche or a Noble.

Believe it or not, I love Mod Nation racers. GT5, like Wipeout HD. It is in the alley of PS3 games I used to play. Besides Ridge Racer 7. These are the games I also grew up with during the transition. I never see this much content to put hours on the basis. Premium models are well-detailed. While Standard models have seen better days and looked better outside of GT5 and 6. I get the CBBE CPU (or Cell Broadband Engine) is tough to understand. I understand this whole quality over quantity. The Built-in Map Creator is pretty standard but at least it doesn't force me to use the GT6 Map Editor application. Drift mode is in the game (Though I am not much of a DK guy). Gran Turismo TV is something I didn't bother. The soundtrack is plenty and diverse, but I stick to the game's Custom MP3 support as I did with Modnation Racer so I can put in the imaginable racing soundtrack from other games (Looks at Arcade Stage and Maxi Tune with a smirk face). GT Auto Shop is there, Race Conversions only applies to Premium Models, not the Standard ones, Top Gear collaboration is better in some Forza games, and NASCAR content is here which is why we got Daytona and Indianapolis Speedway. Not really a fan of loading this game from the hard drive desk because it takes a long time which is the reason why solid state drive is recommended (selectivity).

Gran Turismo 5 was my last Gran Turismo. I bought a PS1 for Gran Turismo 1 and 2. Bought a PS2 for 3. I didn't get 4 because my family entered some hard times. When we got back up, I went with a PS3 to get GTA 4 and GT5. GT5 would brick my PS3, giving it the Yellow Light of Death. I remember being disappointed in GT5. It was the first time Polyphony seemed to phone it in. The fact that they re-used content from the PS2 era was lazy. The tie-ins were unnecessary with NASCAR, go-carting and Top Gear. It tried to do too much with too little. The absolute worst thing was the paint jobs. There is this peculiar bullshit where you can repaint the car, but must own a paint swatch. So, if there was a favorite color you have, it better be available on a cheap new car you can buy. Yay, I bought my dream car! Time to buy a new Honda Civic in Tahiti Blue so I can use that paint swatch I unlock (ONLY ONE, You'd have to buy multiple new cars to get more) to paint my new dream car blue. WHY? Such bullshit.

Man, everyone complained about the cars, but it was a mistake, it's the last game like it we would ever see. GT6 did better with more content, some standard cars improved, some converted to premium, improved car customization, but the worse career mode and lack of used car dealership, specially being able to buy any car at any time, kinda made it not be as fun. If they had re-released GT4 for PS3, with more cars on track, a bit more content, it would have been awesome, a preview of it is just playing this, with a mod to play the hidden PS2 tracks, though the graphical rendering is not implemented properly, since those used baked shadows, while here most of those will have your car always be bright from light exposure, even in tunnels, and it's shadows always visible, again even in tunnels. Man I think standard tracks, with adapted lighting, like just the whole car going darker and it's shadow fading when going into a tunnel or some other shadow from the scenery, that would have been cool, they could've made these some extra event instances not required to beat the game or something, so it would be optional to run in them. Replaying this game now on RPCS3 is kinda fun, though only loading times are improved, since my PC can't handle it well and it runs at 720p 30fps (with some dips), but at least my new CPU and NVMe allows for quick starts (I guess if I could get an SSD for my PS3 I would just play it there instead). I went with a strategy of doing license tests to advance the used car lot (also bought another very slow car to remove some credits, HARD START like, only 8k left, but with some winnings from the kart challenge), so I could get something different to start with, eventually settling on an 80's CR-X. Also to make it more tough I added a challenge of using ballast to add my fat-arse, in comparison to what I imagine would be the average weight of a racing driver, and limiting HP to 90%. Worked very well, made it more challenging and fun.

On the other hand for GT6, with mods you can now play all the online seasonal events again, which shows how great modern "live-service" style games would be if they KEPT the content after the update, instead of making those an incentive to play RIGHT NOW or you will miss it. Standard cars in these games are fine if you ever wished for a slightly better looking GT3 or 4, the cars and most tracks are there. Seriously, like, all last-for-that-generation GT games should have been cross-generation like GT7. Think of GT2 in the 2000's on PS2, single disc, with 60fps, maybe even 480p already. GT4 on PS3, all content (you missed that some real world tracks didn't make it into 5, or at least one: Infineon), more cars on track, 1080p, probably with a stable 60fps unlike GT5 and 6. GT6, on PS4, NOW probably having stable 60fps, with higher resolution shadows and reflections.. ..these could all have had some other graphical improvement over the prev-gen release too, like the PS2 lighting for GT2 (which we can see a close equivalent of on the intros of the PS1 titles). Maybe they could in some way implement a few real-time shadows from PS3 on GT4 (I imagine scenery could cast shadows on vehicles, but not on the scenery itself, to avoid having to mess with all the baked-in shadows, only doing it for the 24-hour endurance tracks, which could be the first in the series with advancing time-of-day). Maybe we would've seen shadows from objects in front of headlights right on GT6 on a PS4, rather than waiting for GT7 (which does have that effect even on a base PS4, or at least the PS4 Slim model I have).

You know what really annoys me about GT5. GTPSP's interiors while black actually were inside of the car, so you could see outside car features even if minor, while GT5 only had cut outs. I don't hate Standard cars, in fact i think they stand up well especelly with things like better reflections than what GT4 had, but its annonying that there are downgrades from the psp game in some form.
