Thinking of back pedaling...

[jrbabbitt]

Since the latest news or rumor of GT7 going to be on the PS4, I am thinking heavily on going back to either GT5 or GT6.
The major question i ask is which one is the better of the two? And why?

Thank you for your replies....

GT6. Better graphics. Better cars. Better overall. Just my opinion though.

They're not massively different so I would go with the newer one. More cars/tracks but you lose endurance races.

It would be cool to have the GT 1,2,3,4 tracks and cars added to the lineup.

GT6 edges it.
Apricot Hill.
Midfield.
Matterhorn.
Silverstone.

GT 5 for the endurance races

My opinion is that GT5 was overall a better game. GT6 has more content and a more responsive UI, but that's about it. The offline racing GT6 was chase-the-rabbit, the career mode was short leaving much content wasted, car damage was downgraded drastically, B-Spec was an afterthought, the game atmosphere overall was just depressing with its blue hues, and PD for some reason removed the track generator. Performance was worse on GT6 than 5, running at 1080p will surely net you some frame rate loss. The shadows and rain effects were downgraded as well.

GT5 has some negatives, firstly the UCD was badly implemented leaving you scrambling around to try and find the right car, and the XP system was imbalanced often leading to a dreadful end-game grind, the User Interface was unresponsive at times, and there were a few career races that force you to use a standard car.

Overall the experience of GT5 was just more in line with what I'd come to expect of a gran turismo game. GT5 I feel has more replay value due to said imbalanced XP system however and it has a longer career mode. There's also the track generator which offers replay value.

GT5 & GT6 have got there good and bad points in the game. So if you want like I am doing playing GT6 and if you want an endurance race, just switch over to GT5.
