Someone mentioned the idea in another thread, and it got me thinking...

Would you rather have a GT5 Spec II, an expansion to GT5, or would you rather prepare for the next game with GT6 Prologue?

In Spec II, let's assume the asking price is similar to what they asked for when GT5P initially was released. Let's also assume that the selling points include: a) new Premium cars b) previous tracks not included in GT5 (i.e. Motegi, Seatle, et al) c) added content for features already in the game (i.e. more events, licenses, gear, cards, paint, etc.). Let's even assume that PD promises that cars purchased in 5 will carry over to GT6.

Or, would you rather they skip the crap and release another glorified demo of what to expect from GT6, similar in features to GT5P?
 
It's hard to answer without knowing what spec II could be.
 
I'd rather have GT5 be upgraded. Assuming GT6 would be a whole new system/game.

New tracks/cars would be just like having a new game anyway. Kinda just sounds like splitting hairs on the name.

A prologue game sounds more limited though. GT5P had some limitations that bothered me tbh.
 
GT5 spec I/II they will be free updates not another 60$ where we don't know if we are going to get a full game or a glorified internet only game.

The question was which you would buy, i.e. pay for.
 
What's the difference?
It sounds like 6 and a half dozen, but with 6 you get everything on the same disc.

GT6P would be new physics, tracks possible, look and feel, perhaps new/limited features. Think how different GT5P was to GT4.
 
I say GT5 Spec II, mainly because it's way too early to be thinking about GT6 Prologue.
 
Probably GT5 Spec II, due to the possible completion of the game,
 
Tourist Trophy 2?

Would Be a Better Idea! ;)
 
No more prologues please, tired of having another reason for delays. lol

6 and a half dozen look and sound different, but they're not.
a GT5 Spec-II would give us everything on one disc. (or through downloads) (I assume, right?)
 
Spec II is more realistic when you think about it. There were plenty of things we've seen pre-launch that never made it into the game. I hope they're working on bringing them with an update or a new disc entirely.
 
Spec II, maybe a good 4x4 Sim or Demolition Derby game instead...

Second that, never bought a prologue To be honest, always less polished than the predecessor...
 
GT5 Spec II, purely because I don't bother with the Prologue games.
 
GT5 Spec II, because GT6 - and Prologue - are still some ways off, at least two years. And if you want much in the way of Premium cars and tracks, you'd better wait at least three.
 
I'm fine with GT5, if they can "patch" new tracks and cars. Also keep adding new series and seasonal events.

I would not/will not be paying for anything pd puts out unless it's an actual finished game. Yes gt5 is a diamond in the rough, yes they have a ways to go getting it to shine brighter. But that doesn't mean they are going to move on. In other words Kaz/PD have time and time stated all gt5 dlc will be free. Thus my hope for a spec update over 60$ for another partial game.
 
At the rate GT games are made I honestly think GT6 is a PS4 game. Either that or GT6 will be a GT5 Spec II more or less. Really GT5 is taking the PS3 to it's limit and we can see sadly in the poor shadows and one or two other glitches. Apart from that the game shines several levels above the competition (1080p @60fps)... I don't see GT6 on the PS3 looking much better or being capable of doing uch more like even better weather, more cars on track etc. I think that's PS4 we're talking about (and my how awesome could that be).

Right now I'd take a Spec II version since GT6 seems so far off. Some old tracks reinstated and spruced up and some brand new real world tracks are an absolute must. Spa, Silverstone and some nice F1 ones for example. All cars upgraded to premium which is inevitable if the series is going to continue on anyways, one day or another all these cars will need upgraded or else GT will shun them, and I don't see KY doing that.
 
GT5 spec II, maybe we can paint some of the tuner cars this time around.
 
I say we should give GT5 a bit more time after all it's not even been 1 year and people are already talking of scraping it.
 
I would never pay for an expansion for GT5 (Spec II) unless all obvious issues are fixed first. If they do, then yes, I would pay for an expansion. Realistically, I don't think that will happen though. It will be very interesting to see what direction PD will take with this.

You wouldn't say that if you would have played GT5 Prologue, because in this case that statement is most definitely untrue. Much less content: yes. But everything was up to the same standard (no weird differences in quality or half-assed features), so definitely more polished. 👍

If there is one half asses thing about gt5, its the boost pressure gauge in the gtr. It isn't linear and smooth like the hud gauge, its a bit blocky to be honest.

On topic: prologue. I wouldn't be caught dead buying purchasing what is essrntially an update. That being said, I wouldn't pay full price for a prologue.
 
Oh really? Well GT5P actually had matchmakine for starters. And the tracks looked better IMHO.
 
spec II, definetly, as it would expand the existing game with all its cars and tracks.
GT6P would give you some new stuff, but only at a very select set of tracks.
 
I would pay for any game that starts with Gran Turismo...
 
GT6 anything would require a ps4.

GT5 is pretty much pushing the limits of what a PS3 can do graphically. So like I said earlier it seems like splitting hairs/marketing bullcrap depending on which "name" would sound better for them to sell their product at the time. GT6P for ps3 would give them a license to make the game gimmicky, lacking in content and a cheap way of saying GT6 ain't comin for a while, but here's a cheap piece of crap we threw together to keep you simple-minded children busy for a few years.

Sorry for the ranting....

But yes, GT5 with upgrades would be immeasurably more useful given the current limitations of consul gaming.

Because if you take graphics out of the equation there isn't a lot to remodel in the way of interface. Tire temperature/pressure, new premiums and tracks can all be included as "upgrade" materials and don't require a new game. And in my opinion physics AREN'T going to be revamped by PD, not because it isn't possible but because GT isn't and never will be a full-on racing sim. They'd destroy their market considerably by making the game inaccessible to all the casual gamers that buy ps3s.

Even considering graphics, how real do we need to go to be satisfied? I remember looking in a game informer some time before GT5 came out with my brother and thinking he was showing me pictures from actual races. I'm pretty happy in general with GT5's graphics. Then again I do come from the DOS era of games and don't rely heavily on graphics to make or break a game.
