Gran Turismo 5 fans!! Break the Silence

SManZ

Easy. It doesn't play BluRay and I give not a damn. PS3 fanboys always point out that their VIDEO GAME system plays HD movies as if that is the saving grace for this platform. If I want to play BluRay movies I'll buy a BluRay player. If I want to play games, I won't be looking for a PS3. If the PS3 happens to be the cheapest/best BluRay player if/when I get into the market for one I'll buy it...as a BluRay player.

Not to toot my own horn, but I found this on page two.

Here's a link as to why all this has been a load of BS, look at the comments and the topic. People are frustrated with the lack of common sense on how to market a game let alone hold a fan base. March 2010 is not really far, but with all the hype and now 6 more months to go it's just plain stupid. Plain plain old stupid

can someone tell me what all the racing games are that are coming out this fall/winter ? I don't have a PS3 so guessing this one's not an option... how about for PC and xb360 ? what's the run-down ?

here is my opinion on both forza3 and gt5 (note i have every gt game ever made and both forza games). they will both be great games and gt5 will probably look better than forza3 but forza3 has better mechanics. i have come to like forza alot more because of one simple fact, the controller. now assuming you aren't using a steering wheel to play either game then forza definatley wins. this is because on an xbox controller you can actually feather the throttle by using the triggers for gas and brake, where as on a ps3 controller all you have is an x and b button and its either press button on don't no half way there. another thing i should say is i feel that forza is much easier to pick up for someone new to the simulator genre, with the racing line and whatnot, plus no stupid driving test you have to do. i would also like to say i have tried the steering wheels on both games (forza2 and gt4) and seem to always go back to the controllers. my xbox steering wheel seemed to be calibrated wrong so i took it back and got another only to have the same problem. the logitech wheel i had for the ps2 worked better than the xbox one but i could always do better using the controller. one other note i would like to add is that gt5 will have nascar in it.

Technically you can use R2/L2 for gas/brake if you want digital control. But that being said, I totally agree that the 360 controller rocks the socks off the PS3. THAT being said, I don't use controllers on racing games. Wheel FTW.

I am waiting to see how well the Slim does performance-wise while playing Bluray. I am not in the market for it, seeing as I already have the 80gig backwards compatible unit, but for some reason I don't feel like it will have 100% of the processing power that the big brother does...Maybe I'll be wrong.

And seriously, the XBOX 360 is not a God System. It is needed by an avid gamer just as much as the PS3 and the PC.

Porsche is indeed not in GT5, but RUF is in it.

I'll stick with muh Forza 3

woah so much hate ... lol I have 2 ps3s an xbox and a wii... you guys are tripping man... PS3 has better hardware - the software is tied as the game devs are lazy and want to write X86 code on the xbox and port it to the ps3 which is bad cus it does not utilize the ps3s cell arch... with that aside... the reason ps3 exclusives are a cut above the 360 exclusives is due to the fact that those games are MADE for the cell processors... and not for a typical PC (your xbox)... The PS3 also HAPPENS to be able to play blu-ray - **** why the hell not... It still costs just about the same as the xbox. Not to mention... everyone w/ an xbox is paying AT LEAST 50$ a year extra just to have live... ps3 its free... so in 2 years you have already made up for the cost increase.

Honestly I have all the exclusives for both - while mass effect / etc are cool games... they just cant compare to the complexity of what the PS3 can do... just look at the ps2 and god of war 2 - they are still not using the ps2s full potential and its been around for what 7 years? ... xbox will go through another revision before the ps3 even thinks about changing...

Dont start the whole forza vs GT nonsense - GT has been at it a lot longer and I have both w/ racing wheel setups (G25 and a pro for the xbox) - and let me tell you... i will take GT5 Prologue over Forza ANYDAY... this is from someone who habitually races on both of them - i could not care about the online component - all i care about is its simulation.

LMAO ... I work in graphics all day long... I play more games than you can imagine... Not only do I play the games but I also develop the crap that makes these games run... I can tell you first hand that the PS3 is FAR superior to the XBOX in HW... no question about it.. the XBOX is an outdated PC... heck any old PC these days will womp a 360 in performance.

Halo is the lamest game ever made - soo many graphical issues ... and it looks like *** too... gameplay is trite and gets boring VERY fast... gears was better but gears 2 is just a glorified gears 1... resistance looks and feels (more subjective) than Halo / gears any day... R1 came out w/ the PS3 and is extremely epic still..

THE ONLY REASON exclusives moved the 360 is because its easier to write games for a xbox and port it across PCs and if need be a PS3 than it is to optimize for the PS3 and port to the XBOX... also game companies are afraid of the lead time it would take them to fully understand the HW specs and limitations of the PS3... its going to take them even longer to understand how to fully use the PS3's potential as writing games using vector processing is different and unheard of until now. In 2 years the games coming out for the PS3 will need xbox to go make the xbox 480 or whatever the hell they wanna call it... the PS3 will shine - it will just take time...

Yup shaba is right the reason why 360 is so succesful is because it's easier to make games in that platform. But as Hardware goes the PS3 trumps the 360, with all the stuff that comes on that system its an actual bargain. The reason 360 makes more sales is because of games they have the best shooters in the business and then add the xbox live on top of that. The 360 is pretty much the best multiplayer console. Now that the ps3 came out with the slim they might catch up but i highly doubt it because pretty much all the exlusive the ps3 is getting is crossing over to the 360, plus the way the economy is IDK if people is willing to shell out 300 dollars for a gaming system.

micorsoft said at E3 that they wouldn't be making another xbox till 2012-2013

I'm suffering a serious flashback to my junior high days when the kids yelled back and forth at each other over what was 'better', the Genesis or Super Nintendo. The more things change, eh?
