Agreed with Ardius. Some of you need to pop GT1 back in your machines and realize how far this series has come.
...Or, how far Gran Turismo has slipped. Gran Turismo 1 was (and still is) a superbly balanced game, both in the simulation, and in its progression. Its also interesting to note all the little things that have been stripped away from the orginal concept that was Gran Turismo.
Things like mandatory race qualification, race lap records, an option to save car settings, better transmission setup screen, race modified cars, the best second-hand car lot of any game, a host of setup features, a stricter financial model, and some of the most perfectly balanced races on any version of Gran Turismo. GT5

is not in the same league as GT1, I'm astonished that you could even suggest that!
To magburner-then throw your game away or give it to someone who needs it more and play pro street.You people don't seem to get its a DEMO,it won't be perfect,NFS PS is a full game and isn't perfect neither was forza2.
Heresy! As if I would start racing NFS anything! I have been jamming the original Forza though, after only recently taking my blinkers off to see what else was out there - what a superb game! As for throwing GT5

away, I don't think so. I own almost ever game PD have produced (bar the Motor Tune GP games, and Omega boost, or whatever it was called).
Actually, demos are for games that are finished, so I dont think Prologue quite fits under that. I like to think of it as a large public alpha test more than anything, even beta testing is for largely finished products, and GT5 is no where near finished.

Now, if anyone knows what an alpha test is, then they would surely know it is no where near the best representation of the final product. At best it can be described as "a sign of things to come". Hence the online mode, its there to tell the world "were making an online mode for GT5". Not to show how good PD are at creating online enviroments. Same goes for this silly shadow argument or the many other "problems" with this game.
Hold on a second! First GT5

is supposed to be a 'demo', then its a 'demonstration', now its an 'alpha', come now, what is it?
In the saga that is Gran turismo, GT5

is a good game, great in places, but equally a big let down in others. I was hoping that PD may of decided to throw some of the innovative new features they had been working hard on. Except, we get nothing but a bare-bones online mode that is riddled with cheaters. The cars look gorgeous, the tracks do too, car setups are poor (barely no different to GT1), and there is of course the ongoing argument about online boost.
This was said in
The "Online Boost" demystified
Two things i'd like to say...
Firstly. Be it online or off, boost/handicapping/anything that interferes with the natural course of the race is imo, baaaad
Secondly. I've been around a lot of racing game/sim forums over the years. i also modded the GT3 and later the GT4 section of the website of the publisher of the official GT3/4 guides, Piggyback Interactive (got my name in the credits section of the official GT4 guide

). And i can safely say that
i've never come across a driving game or sim that evokes such strong emotions and fierce debates as the GT series
That's a testament i believe to the greatness of the GT series of games. We all keep buying and playing them, despite some of the glaring flaws that exist within them
It's the sheer
feel of the driving experience within that does it for me
That went off on a bit of a tangent and off topic too i think. Still, thought i'd say it
One thing i did learn from modding. Don't takes the disagreements to heart, they're fuelled by our shared passion 👍
Never a true word said! 👍
I've been playing Gran Turismo from day one, and its more than a game to me, its more like a good old friend that has entertained greatly me over the years. You can fall out with friends, you can disagree with some of the things they do wrong, but at the end of the day, they are still your friends.
I'm sure we all have a friend that just bums around, but we know he or she could be doing so much better. That's how I feel about GT5

. Its an awesome game, but it seems to of got caught in the whole
'hey! I'm a next generation game!' hype-machine that seems to of grabbed hold of the PS3. 👍
