As a game it is vastly inferior to Forza 3, Less events, more expensive cars, more and worse grinding to get those expensive cars. Forza 3 is just so much more FUN. But less serious than previous GTs.

The only thing GT could fall back on was the physics and the simulation side of things BUT: how can anyone call GT5 a simulation anymore? It is not, tyre physics in Apsec are COMPLETELY BUNK. Slicks outperform wets when it's raining, the wear rate of the racing tyres are about as far removed from reality as you can get.

The DEFINING factor of most racing simulators is the accuracy of the tyre physics and GT5s are crap. Just what the hell have PD done??

I really cannot understand the people who're not complaining more about this game, it's seriously flawed in many areas and the apologists for this sad excuse of a game will ensure that future patches and even GT6 will not hit the heights of previous GTs.

PD have got to address the VERY seriously BAD aspects of this game and FAST. Otherwise it's a joke. I WAS very much a hardcore GT fan but GT5 has destroyed that. It seems that every day I find out something bad about the game and it disappointed me from the beginning.
 
At the end of the day the complaining would get me no where. So i've gotten over the issues and enjoy the game for what it is.
 
Lowspeed car physics are good, drifting is the best in any game i've seen to date, lastly i found i had much more grip in the wet, with the wet tyres on than the slicks.

Its not perfect but its pretty good. It depends how high you set your standards, if you're looking unrealistically high then everything is going to suck, perspective.


If you were a hardcore GT fan, then why do you dislike the physics, they are another generation (or perhaps 2) over that of GT4, they are far more refined and generally a lot better. Was you expecting something else? perhaps you have played another simulation (iRacing?) and have become comfortable with the feel of the cars, thus you are disapointed because it does not feel like that? Did you expect the trend of GT games to change and that GT5 was going to be somehow a much bigger advance?


If you were a GT hardcore fan, then you should be amazingly pleased with the physics, i think there is more to this than you simply being a hardcore GT fan. Because if you look at the facts on the paper, GT5 seems to be right in line with the pattern seen over the previous 4.


GT1 - Baseline game, was a revolution but it was only the beginning.
GT2 - Take GT1 and improve the physics, add way more cars and content.
GT3 - Fresh game, taking the physics (same base engine/maths) and improving them, much improved graphics the first for the console, less content and cars than GT2, but some new features thrown in.
GT4 - Improved physics, way more cars and content, slight graphics update.
GT5 - Fresh game, taking the physics (GT4 > GT5P) and improving them vastly, included all features of GT4 to an extent and added many new, less content in events, added online play, less cars (or more if you include standards), some of the best premium car models in any game.
GT6 - Likely - GT5 with improved physics and way more cars and content, new features, better online support.
GT7 - Fresh game (new console, platform 3) - Improved physics, graphics, sound - Less cars and content (with Standards ported from GT5/GT6)
GT8 - Improved physics, slight improved graphics - many more cars and content, new features, better online support.

Just the way it has always been, always will be.

Can moderators please start locking these threads? It seems there are 5 new "GT5 sucks because..." threads every single day, why can't the whiners and criers all hang out together in 1 thread instead of making a new one every time someone decides they don't like the game?

Agreed, feel free to report them. The little yellow triangle.

This thread adds nothing to the discussion.
 
Can people keep there complaints to themselves. This forum is about questions and answers about the game or simulation or whatever you want to call it. It's not here to complain about the game and how bad it
Is to your standards.

just to correct you that title goes to live for speed/ iRacing by a country mile on all forms of realism :dopey:

iRacing and LFS are better racing sims, no doubt. But the drifting in LFS though popular was far from realistic, GT5 is much closer and that is my opinion i will not dispute.

iRacing - Amazing simulation, but the tyre model can't handle drifting, tried and failed, a few powerslides sure but not real drifting.

NetKar - That has amazing potencial for drifting, and the Shelby car is proof of this, but the sim is not complete enough for it, watching a drifting replay in NetKar just looks wrong, GT5 drift replays look like drifting in real life, and that sais a lot, i still think GT5 is the drift king.

But for general racing, sure i agree with you.
