5 was the last good singleplayer Gran Turismo experience IMO. 6, Sport and 7 are a shadow of Gran Turismo's former self in terms of singleplayer content. Still great fun online but it's seriously disappointing how little content there is otherwise.

The online aspect was the main selling point and really made the game a lot of fun, especially since the singleplayer content didn't get completely destroyed (unlike GT7). It's a shame you did not mention the Red Bull X2010 events though, they are among the most infamous in the entire franchise among with races like Mission 34 in GT4.

I managed to get a Gold in one of the Red Bull X2010 races by absolutely cheesing it by taking a big shortcut. I think it was on the Monza circuit, and I was able to cut through the tight two corners at the start. I was only able to get a bronze on the other circuits, though.

[@bamaboy2711]

I loved it. Bought it in 2011 and played it for a few years. Only complaint was the engine noises and the used cars were clearly half baked and directly ported from GT4. That said, it made up for the sheer volume and range of used cars you could buy and it changed every time you went in, keeping it interesting. GT5 is a certified great

[@aksGJOANUIFIFJiufjJU21]

Did you know the standard gt4 cars in gt5 have default texture resolution? It was downscaled for the ps2 probably for storage

I used to enjoy the online Shuffle Race Mode. Where the room owner would set the track & pp level, then when you joined the race you would be assigned a random car within that pp range.

@@purwantiallan5089 yeah, pp in GT5 was much lower numbers than GT7

[@kHz33]

I don't think this was a disappointment, sure, it isn't exactly as good as previous titles and the void interior of standard cars is a bit disappointing, but in general, I think graphically it was a nice improvement, the driving feels a lot better than GT4 as it's a lot less understeery (and I personally think the handling is better than GT6, too). Sounds were a lot better too, and personally this game's menu music was my favourite. It wasn't as big of a leap forward as the PS2 GT titles but on its own, it's still a very good game. I think the hate towards this game came from the disappointment when it was originally released, people expected more from it.

[@DoVe_7]

Yea I agree its still an alright game and the music in here is fantastic , still use soo much of it other projects I do

[@Daniel-vi1yw]

A the time it was disappointment. I remember a lot of people mad about Standard cars and track textures. Some of them looked as directly taken out from GT4. Opinions were mixed. But of course Premium cars and for ex. Eiger Nordwand looked astonishing.

[@blapbIap]

GT5 was the first game i played online as a kid, loved every bit of it. I’m of the opinion that more cars were a good call, and I didn’t mind a little lower res and no detailed interior. The single player was still pretty good and the special events were really fun, I think this game has aged pretty well but not as well as games like GT4

[@Gatitasecsii]

I just don't like the lack of challenge. It sucks that in every race there's like two overpowered cars that you just cant beat unless you upgrade your car, and once you do, you beat them all too easily... it's so boring... I remember in gran turismo PSP, which didn't even have a career, at least every race your opponents were comparable in performance.

[@zacariascisneros6399]

Except for Gran Turismo 1 and PSP, all of the GT games suffered the same issue

[@brandonhealy7158]

Ohh play the gran turismo 5 prologue version. All opponents were of a similar difficulty, and none of this tune up nonsense (until you beat the game) that goes on noawadays. It was way more fun (gt 5 prologue was the demo for gt 5 but it was still a full game in its own right and it’s the one I grew up on)

@@brandonhealy7158 That sounds excellent but that game is so short ToT

[@SamSamShine]

Bought it 2 days before release back in November 2010, after GT3 and GT4 yes it was a disappointment. The game felt half baked, lots of loading screens, more cars but less race events somehow and this stupid PP system.

[@switchinlanes8786]

That, and I also remember not being able to tweak your gear ratios at launch, weird japanese game show music, rolling starts, being unable to sell prize cars and winning them over again after doing a event. And maybe it’s just me but I remember people being pretty negative about GT5 and 6, so to see most people being so positive about them is very strange to me.

[@Gatitasecsii]

Yeah there's really not much to do compared to GT4... and the races are so unbalanced...

[@aaryeshg.6526]

They did a feature where you can transfer a limited amount of cars you bought from GTPSP to GT5. Unfortunately it's only for Arcade mode. When GT5 released, I had a real PSP and had a real copy of GTPSP and the game itself had a screen explaining this feature, I assumed it was a quick way to start GT5 but nope it wasn't the case. They basically streamlined the career a little too much in GT5. The PSP game atleast was literally a _sandbox to do whatever you want_ GT4 port.

[@DoVe_7]

I had a challenge idea once where you would only use the cars imported from GTPSP to this game but yea shame it's only in arcade mode

[@raceris7309]

I think the biggest problem with GT5 is lackluster GT Mode. With only 9 events in each series, some of them having a single race only, you can progress through the game very quickly. It doesn't help that despite having new Rally tracks (rebuilt Chamonix, Toscana), they're barely ever seen in GT mode. Even when I played as a kid who also grew up with GT4, I recognized these issues. They decided to do way too many things all at once (bringing Ferrari and Lambo's in GT for the first time, making collaborations with professional drivers etc.), to the point that it affected the overall gameplay. Still, I had a great time playing it.

[@whiteetk8000persona3isgood]

i actually think 9 events in each series are quite enough for an series, knowing how long it takes sometimes..... YEAH LE MANS IM TALKING TO YOU.

[@totallynotjohn8083]

I have a soft spot for this game since it was the first gran turismo game I played and one of the first ever console games I ever played. Back in 5th grade, I saved up enough money to buy a used ps3 that came with a few games, and one of them was gt5. I played the hell out of this game and got me into cars as a kid, and seeing clips of this game makes me nostalgic. During the pandemic, my ps3 died, and I can't play this game anymore since I don't have a pc or laptop powerful enough to emulate it.

[@Zadist66]

After years i still love GT5. The memories of waking up early in the morning before school, checking if the collectors dealership had some new legendary cars from the old games...

[@wortexspeedruns]

Honestly? I've NEVER noticed the "standard" cars were any more pixelated than the "premium" ones. Sure, the interior view, and following that - see-through windows (and headlights/taillights) made you able to instantly tell if it's a premium car or not, but as far as the car model is concerned, especially as a kid, I've never noticed any major differences.

[@GoldMonkeyGamer]

GT5 and GT6 felt great. The sheer quantity of cars, endurance racers, some limited customisation and a great online. Spent so much time online! The variety of GT5 was great too, I remember the spec 2 update really made the game so fun at the time.

[@thanos9820]

I bought this game as it was my first car game on ps3, if not my first game on ps3 at all, after a while, they introduced the gt6, and i didn't know that there were online races like that, when i started to create a ps3 account, they stopped supporting gt5, so i have never ever tried the online, although i am in career offline, sometimes it gets boring as i am playing alone. Ps3 is my first and only console i have. I still play the game time to time tho, once in months. If we could bring bag the online servers it would be awesome.

[@BertoBoi]

Was GT5 a disappointment? Absolutely not. This was my first GT game alongside GT3, and it will always be the best one imo. The love the UI in the menus, the races and special events are a blast, the new content like the Course Maker is great, the immense car list is amazing, (even with the black interiors, those never bothered me before, even today) and the soundtrack is genuinely incredible. The driving physics especially are awesome, leagues better then the stiff handling GT4 had. Best GT game imo, and it got even better with the Master Mod, hopefully you make a vid on that soon, it's a blast too.

[@DoVe_7]

[@pablodelgado7919]

I'll forever find stupidly hilarious that IGN review quoting "the music is awful" or something among those line. Only for it to become a quite good soundtrack many years later, especially the jazz soundtrack. IGN always proving how much of a clown site they are since 2010 onwards.

[@zacariascisneros6399]

TBCH, I have Gran Turismo 5 as probably my least favorite game of the franchise. BUT, one thing that actually did well overall, was the overall soundtrack, both for racing and menus. The last Gran Turismo overall good soundtrack after Gran Turismo 3. Gran Turismo 4 and 6 were better games than 5, but those games fell short in terms of soundtrack (the songs aren't necesarilly bad, but they weren't as good as GT5 or GT3)

[@solsticecity]

At 2:31 I shouted out loud, the S2000 LM has always been a favourite car of mine since GT3. Any time it’s showcased by anyone I fanboy lol. Another great video essay! I’ve been playing GT5 over the last few months myself, and honestly even with all its faults it’s still a fun game. It’s funny, we all complained about it back before 6 came out, then hated on it when 6 seemed to fix all the problems…and now that 7 is out and has just as many, if not more problems, many of us are going back and playing or praising GT5. While it’s not my favourite entry in the series, honestly it’s down there as one of my least favourites, the high amount of cars and classic tracks more than makes up for the lacklustre GT mode.

[@dusterpl6093]

it 100% was a disappointment. teasing players with completely remodeled high quality cars with interior view, 6 years of development... just to screw over the playerbase with 90% of the car list being lazily ported from GT4, paid dlc packs and the stupid player level system.

[@POLO9999]

My personnal opinion about GT5 is that the game were focused on the content with a litteral conversion of all GT4 cars to GT5 (with the Standard and Premium segregation type) which makes no interest to stick with Standard Cars due of the big differences. (At least, they do not give recycled cars as DLC like Forza games). But, for a PS3 game, i found as a good GT Game which kept all of their core aura before they destroyed with GT Sport and 7.

[@kingstyle7314]

I genuinely liked it as a kid and I remember when my uncle bought it when I was younger but I was never allowed to touch his ps3 so I didn't get to play it until like a year before the servers shutdown then I was able to upgrade to gran turismo 6 and had a similar story there

[@nicolassantibanez7881]

(Sorry for the long text) Gran Turismo 5 is one of the most underrated Gran Turismo. Ita basically GT4 but with clipped content and given more priority to the Online Modality But still having a very decent GT Mode than the earliers Gran Turismo. Maybe the B-Spec mode it could be one of the great falls of this game, are the same races than in A-Spec Mode just only with more Laps. Also the: 1. Repeated cars. bunch of: Honda's S2000 Mazda's Rx7 Nissan Skyline's R32, R33, R34 Mitsubishi's Lancer Mitsubishi's 2000GT And more ones.) 2.Poor Car Customization (compared to Gran Turismo 6.) 3. Probably the most notorious in GT Mode is the AI in the races. 4. And the most unfair thing is the fact of how broken is this game in your progress. Example: There is a championship called, "Tuning Car Championship". The car oponents that will appear in the races are just only Modified Cars. But there is no specific regulations on how you can pass this Championship, this means that you can pass it with every car. Even with a Super GT car, making you the races very easier. And this is not the only one in throughout the game. Having a very untidy progress the game. Thats why i recomend played or giving the chance to played with the "Stock" cars, and the same ones of your oponents to have more fun and making more challenging the game. After all the negative points, is definitely NOT a bad game, you can played it the way that whatever you want, given an "Agency for the player". Its a really cool and underrated game in my opinion that i enjoyed a Lot.

GT5 has MANY flaws but it is still one of my favourites games. I've spent so many hours into this game.

This game was literally the only thing I played from 2015 to when the disc refused to work in 2017. I had other games on my PS3 like LBP2 and GTAV but GT5 was pretty much the only thing I played. Then in early 2021, when we moved somewhere else, I bought a new GT5 disc and it was a time where the only thing left for me in GT6 was that last star at that dumbass Kart 125 shifter race at GT arena and had literally nothing else to do in the game (the boredom got to the point where I went to get the Platinum trophy for GT6, that I didn't get, and got hyped because I can afford a new car, also for the Platinum trophy).

I played every Gran Turismo released up to the sixth edition. I agree that with each release, something new was allocated or improved, always. For me the most important release was Gran Turismo 4, and it was probably the one I played the most, also due to all this time to release GT5. When GT5 was released, I remember buying the PS3, the steering wheel (G29) and everything needed, such was the expectation. GT5 for me is an excellent game and I had a lot of fun with it. I remember that at launch several problems bothered me, such as crashes for no reason, fluctuation in fps and many other bugs, which were corrected. GT6, on the other hand, was very different, it disappointed me, as I understand that it was the one with the least evolution compared to the previous one, and GT Sport took me out of the franchise, as I migrated to Asseto Corsa, and never returned. But if I like cars, I owe it to Gran Turismo.

But then as time went on and I played other racing games, I realized there was a lack of passion. I also didn't realize until years later how spoiled I was for having that be my first ever GT game, which I realized when I played GT Sport for the first time a few years ago. It felt like some soil had come back to the franchise, and while the career mode has definitely taken a backseat, I think it's still there and returning with the newer titles.

GT5 is the best Gran Turismo game, along GT4

[@mahmoodyousif5204]

I can’t believe that I bought ps3 just for GT5 and to be disappointed

[@zacariascisneros6399]

I changed Assassin's Creed 3 for Gran Turismo 5... I'm still regretting of that decision

[@turismofoegaming8806]

Especially once you added all the previous Gran Turismo games soundtrack to the custom soundtrack feature, in addition to all of your favorite music in general, this made playing Gran Turismo five and doing races with your friends amazing!! Especially if you had a couple PS3 and a couple HD TV set up in the same room with force-feed backbreaking wheels hooked up to eat, just made it awesome for when you finish the race and we’re ready to watch the replay!!!

[@georgewingham8132]

Ive been playing this game for over 10 years now. Still havent upgraded to even ps4 yet haha. I cant for the life of me get racing modifications to work on ANY cars thought. How did you do that?

[@shy_doge]

the cars DO have damage models, not all and definitely not the standard ones. Racing modifications were present on GT1 and GT2 but got removed from GT3 and GT4. You could've also talked about the online experience, although the servers are now gone, you can still play using programs like xlink kai and a mod to GT5 that would allow you to play some of the fun gamemodes that are gone from the series like the shuffle race.

[@trillistseth]

Gran turismo is confusing, how much code would it take to setup a few more races? i may be wrong but surely not much compared to the driving mechanics/cars/tracks. Consistently there has been not many races in single player at launch but i would just ask why? its an intentional choice from game designers

[@abdullahisdanul107]

2 things i don't like about GT5: 1. Standard Cars, Which is GT4 PS2 assets that port over to PS3. I don't know what on Kaz mind thinking this is a brilliant idea. 2. Very limited choices of rims, I couldn't use TE37 or RPF1 for some of my favorites cars and it suck big time. Each car have different set of rims and most of them are rubbish.

[@alhemmings8554]

GT5 showed PD were human. I played them all up to that and they were amazing. It was a great title, but felt compromised in a way that GT4 was not. I remember people being a bit miffed with the lack of cars in GT3, but everyone I knew agreed it was as ground breaking as the first 2 titles. The standard cars were quite controversial.

[@FrancescoPastorino]

Gt5 was luxurious

[@kizama213]

ost name 0:44 ?

[@Arexion5293]

The damage system is a little odd in that for some cars it's very detailed, but the collisions themselves are bumper car nonsense and the visual damage you get doesn't really feel right. You can get body parts to fall off, but it takes forever for this to happen. Also GT bring back carbon hoods. 5 and 6 had them, why can't 7?!

[@Donnerwamp]

Racing modifications were also available in GT1 (or was it 2? I'm not sure at the moment), so it's not necessarily a new feature.

[@cjfoshu]

What ISO would you recommend? Any mods?

[@DoVe_7]

The Master mod is fun for this game, have a video on that

[@MaykelFS23]

I actually played 5 after 6, no regrets, the leveling system was up for the challenge (and getting annoyed some fans too), the only thing that I hated was, waiting half of a year for a Formula GT to clean up Extreme Events, and that was no joke.

[@bernardlaus9996]

Tried since 3 months now to obtain that formula car but never came to the dealer list, now that's enough

[@tooprood]

​@@bernardlaus9996theres sources online where you can check how close you are to obtaining it

[@pikminologueraisin2139]

really the only bad thing about this game is the time it took to release, like, why did it took years ? gran turismo might be *the* system seller for sony and standard cars would be excused if the game released in 2007. beside that, gran turismo 5.. is gran turismo. gran turismo 6 forces upon you a starter car, has no endurance races, no used car dealership, very little car prizes.. all unnecessary steps back. gran turismo 5 doesn't do goofy stuff (except the level system but i don't mind it). it is simply gran turismo 4 with even more content, a (great) online mode, fun karting and kinda important: more opponent to face. it's gran turismo 4+

[@no_s3nse873]

I personally had a lot of fun with it but i didnt played it for like 6 years now because it kept crashing and freezing because the disc of it badly scratched i didnt even know it would be fixable other that it was very enjoyable i still remenber that i did the indianapolis 500 in the toyota minolta

[@C1-Runner]

Another well done video! Props to you and your editor for putting this out. Truth be told the amount of extra content in this is rather interesting: rallying, nascar, the Mercedes Academy and Top Gear stuff. Lots of variety.

[@bernardlaus9996]

Not enough various racetracks per challenge, always the same, grand valley speedway again and again ! Raising your level didn't increase your prize money, so to buy a 20M supercar, you have to spend your time farming 200x the Speedway which will take you 800 min to complete. Bspec is hazardous because AI don't cut off corners and you can't skip the doubled-laps (for less money)like in GT4 ! Also the hardest challenges (nearly impossible to me) are gold licences (even the slalom in silver I can't 😢),the karting, both S.Loeb and Vettel challenges (I tried so many times without reaching bronze !) Nascar is also tricky due to dumb AI opponents ! And Cherry on the cake, endurance 24h-races are so cheaply rewarded that I simply refuse to waste my time on it ! On the other side I love muscle cars and under 1980 cars. Why is there so many Miata's and skylines and imprezas 50 of each model to collect only to spot the headlights restyled ! (Yeah I know it's a japanese game). Disappointed to say I will not finish this game😭

[@erickent4248]

Gt5 is super addictive, great soundtrack and car selection. The AI likes to rubberband on you when you try to pass them, you can get locked out of progression after a time when you need a race car, but you spent all your money collecting kei cars etc, but it is still super nifty, and I think the cars handle better in general than Gt4.

[@thandontantiso3744]

That first song is from which game?

[@kspectre21]

It's really interesting to go back and see each Consoles first major racing releases and how they had similar issues regarding car content despite the differences in their other aspects. I definitely think GT5 beat out Forza Motorsport 5 though in terms of quality but both signalled such a shift from their predecessors that both Series are still reeling from.

[@Turismo860]

Theres actually a LOT MORE that you can control, in B-Spec mode

[@rodsk8dude731]

The damage was great, kind of what you could expect from Polyphony on PS3, but not tweaked right. Hard enough crashes have dents generate on the fly, like in a burnout game, but a lot more toned down. I think a better curve for how much it dented would have worked wonders. Small crashes get bigger dents, but won't get much bigger with crashing 4x faster. On the "premium" cars it can look pretty nice, and on standards it works well enough, but can look a bit weird sometimes, with parts stretching that shouldn't, like a headlight. I was surprised to learn recently while playing on Xenia that Forza Horizon seems to have real time damage too. Not sure about Motorsport.

[@JustMartha07]

I love come back to GT5 but my perception of game wasn't ruined by Demo and Prologue which I didn't buy. And imo GT6 should be released on PS4. It didn't sell out well because people were waiting for PS4 which were released nearly year later.

[@northshore7123]

I played GT5 in 2010 and sadly never finished it because I had to sell PS3 because of financial reasons. In 2013 I bought PS3 again and played GT6 for years, got even platinum trophy in GT6. In 2017 I have hidden PS3 into the closet and since then I've played only Sport and GT7. I found recently the hidden PS3 and bought GT5 for 3 euros... After so many years it is like using a time machine. Now you can buy an adapter for Dualsense controller and give second life to PS3. I also bought SSD to improve loading times. So the game feels even better. To be honest, I have with GT5 more fun than with GT7 (after 600 hours). My goal is to gold everything. Obviously graphics is bad on big modern OLED TV, no HDR, less colours, even sound and music seem to be lower quality. But on other hand it is refreshing not having to be connected to internet, no announcements. Everything is so... calm. I like the game, nice experience. After I'm done with GT5 I'm going to play GT6 again. And even more PS3 games, like GTA 4, Max Payne 3, old Tony Hawk games etc... Nice nostalgic trip.

[@thedipermontshow]

Thanks for uploading this! I've only played Gran Turismo 1 for my PS1 and thought it was fun! But about a month ago i got thanks to a friend GT 5 and GT 6, i still need to repair my PS3 to play so i'm watching this reviews to get hyped up!
