Was Gran Turismo 5 a Disapointment?

The online aspect was the main selling point and really made the game a lot of fun, especially since the singleplayer content didn't get completely destroyed (unlike GT7). It's a shame you did not mention the Red Bull X2010 events though, they are among the most infamous in the entire franchise among with races like Mission 34 in GT4.

Forever nostalgic of this game. My first game ever

I love the vibe that GT5 and GT6 have. These games always make me feel like I'm sitting in a nice lounge and listening to jazz music, and the physics are superb to this day. I would actually say these games are my favorite in the series.

I loved it. Bought it in 2011 and played it for a few years. Only complaint was the engine noises and the used cars were clearly half baked and directly ported from GT4. That said, it made up for the sheer volume and range of used cars you could buy and it changed every time you went in, keeping it interesting. GT5 is a certified great

I don't think this was a disappointment, sure, it isn't exactly as good as previous titles and the void interior of standard cars is a bit disappointing, but in general, I think graphically it was a nice improvement, the driving feels a lot better than GT4 as it's a lot less understeery (and I personally think the handling is better than GT6, too). Sounds were a lot better too, and personally this game's menu music was my favourite. It wasn't as big of a leap forward as the PS2 GT titles but on its own, it's still a very good game. I think the hate towards this game came from the disappointment when it was originally released, people expected more from it.

I used to enjoy the online Shuffle Race Mode. Where the room owner would set the track & pp level, then when you joined the race you would be assigned a random car within that pp range.

The game itself was great, and compared to the newer ones, defo better

GT5 was the first game i played online as a kid, loved every bit of it. I’m of the opinion that more cars were a good call, and I didn’t mind a little lower res and no detailed interior. The single player was still pretty good and the special events were really fun, I think this game has aged pretty well but not as well as games like GT4

5:38 Hey Dove, actually you can speed up B-Spec mode just like in GT4: hold L1 to go to the telemetry screen, then press right on the D-pad three times to speed it up to 3x.

Hell no, 5 is still miles ahead of 7

Bought it 2 days before release back in November 2010, after GT3 and GT4 yes it was a disappointment. The game felt half baked, lots of loading screens, more cars but less race events somehow and this stupid PP system.

After years i still love GT5. The memories of waking up early in the morning before school, checking if the collectors dealership had some new legendary cars from the old games... <3

I just watch this and realized that this is just a better version of GT7

8:36 But at least this course editor is still usable, unlike the one in GT6.

I think the biggest problem with GT5 is lackluster GT Mode. With only 9 events in each series, some of them having a single race only, you can progress through the game very quickly. It doesn't help that despite having new Rally tracks (rebuilt Chamonix, Toscana), they're barely ever seen in GT mode. Even when I played as a kid who also grew up with GT4, I recognized these issues. They decided to do way too many things all at once (bringing Ferrari and Lambo's in GT for the first time, making collaborations with professional drivers etc.), to the point that it affected the overall gameplay. Still, I had a great time playing it.

They did a feature where you can transfer a limited amount of cars you bought from GTPSP to GT5. Unfortunately it's only for Arcade mode. When GT5 released, I had a real PSP and had a real copy of GTPSP and the game itself had a screen explaining this feature, I assumed it was a quick way to start GT5 but nope it wasn't the case. They basically streamlined the career a little too much in GT5. The PSP game atleast was literally a sandbox to do whatever you want GT4 port.

GT5 and GT6 felt great. The sheer quantity of cars, endurance racers, some limited customisation and a great online. Spent so much time online! The variety of GT5 was great too, I remember the spec 2 update really made the game so fun at the time.

I just don't like the lack of challenge. It sucks that in every race there's like two overpowered cars that you just cant beat unless you upgrade your car, and once you do, you beat them all too easily... it's so boring... I remember in gran turismo PSP, which didn't even have a career, at least every race your opponents were comparable in performance.

Gran tourismo 5 is my favourite gt and i still play it D:
