    Gran Turismo 5 has finally launched globally and here why it sucks:

    1. Why can’t you upgrade the brakes? Why are performance upgrades as well as body upgrades so limited?

    2. You can’t paint your car any color unless you’ve owned that car in that color first?

    3. Why are there only 200 premium cars as compared to Forza 3’s 500+ fully premium cars with cockpit views?

    4. Why do some tracks look so bad while others are superb?

    5. Why is there only 2 online play modes?

    6. Why is there no clutch in this game (whats the point of using Logitec G27 wheel with clutch)?

    7. Why is the damage so unrealistic, and the most you get is panels coming slightly off?

    8. The menus are inconsistent by any means.

    9. Why do 800 cars look like GT4 cars but in HD and without cockpit views?

    10. Why there are lots of burned shadows and you hardly get the chance to see a clean dashboard?

    11. There is no “upload to Youtube” feature that promised

    12. No proper settings whether camera tracking, damage, day/night transition are currently turned on/off.

    WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR 6 YEARS?

    This is why the game sucks. It was much of hype & I Was so excited

  • Gran Turismo 5 Goes Gold

    // Gradly // blog, Games, PS3 1 Response

    Kazunori Yamauchi,

    So finally Gran Turismo 5 goes gold 🙂

    The news came from the team Jalopnik at SEMA

    We just asked Kazunori Yamauchi, the father of Gran Turismo, in an interview here at SEMA, the question on everyone’s minds — when will GT5 finally be released? His response: “The discs are being stamped as we speak.”

    The picture above is Kazunori making a disc-stamping motion with his hands as he answered our query on the ever-shifting release date. We did talk about a number of different topics other than the release — and we’ll have more coming shortly — but for the moment, we thought we’d at least bring you that response.
