Timmy Vermicceli Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I personaly love Gran turismo, and any other racing racing games that I play, they dont seem to offer what I am looking for in a racing game. Sure, Fortza motor sports has physical crash damage and many others have there own unique features, but I really just dont care for those things. There is something special that Gran tursmo has, and I really dont know what it is. All I know is that I love the feeling when there is such a difficult task, and it requires such precision and skill, that you cant even be a hundreth of a second off in your total time, and then after many unsuccessful attempts, you finally get it! God, I just love that. One specific course on the Driving missions in GT4, the last mission, I think it was mission 32 Nurburgring Nordschleif. This mission took me around 15 hours to complete, and believe me, Im no rookie when it comes to Gran turismo. After I completed the mission, I had a sense of pride and fullfilment, just knowing that I finally completed this excedingly difficult mission that haunted me for what seemed like endless hours, I just could not believe how difficult this mission was. I guess thats what real race car drivers have to go through to master there driving skills, and more. I know its just a game, but Im not afraid to admit that I am a full blown-out game-junkie, I ve been playing video games since I was 5, and damnit, Its my passion! I hope you guys have something to share about Grand turismo experiences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bossman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I have gran turismo 3 and have played all other gran turismos excluding prologue and ps3 gt obviously. I kinda went off it when I couldn't win a race I was attempting to win for about 3 months, plus I hate having to earn the licenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DareDevilX Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yeah,I hated earning the licences too but I like realism in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 yeah the games were alright but you kinda get bored of them after a while cuase all your doing is just driving around and around and around so boooring.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I hate Gran Turismo and here's why. When I was nine, my mom got me GT2. I spent forever playing the simulation mode and hadn't gone anywhere with it. The fact that you have to earn your license is crap. Not the game for a child, so I went back to GTA. I'd rather play better racing games like Need for Speed, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 So true Tec9 tahts what happened with me. I profer Midnight Club and NFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherman Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I like it.. to me, it's a game that takes precision and skill to complete. All I have right now is the GT3 Steering wheel, which doesn't make it AS realistic, but it's more than a controller. No video game will ever be exactly like the real thing, but this brings it close. Need to pick up GT4 again.. Haters get out, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bossman Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 oh yeah, I also had a steering wheel. Stupidly, I had nothing to rest it on, so I often struggled with a cushion on my lap instead of a table I can latch it onto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOYA Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 GT4 is alright, so is GT3. I still play GT4 occasionally. Can any GT fan tell me how to switch off ghost cars in time trial mode? I'm told it's possible but so far I've been unable to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather play better racing games like Need for Speed, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing, etc. I like the licence system. It's very important and makes the game more of a challenge, because you need the licences to compete in certain events. Every racing game, has a progression system. I must say though, Forza is a great game and I like how you can change cars from class to class, from changing performance enhancements.

I hate that friggin' license system. Learning how to brake? Hmm, if you've played ANY racing game you know what button to hit when you want your car to stop.

Sherman Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 ^^ Heh, it's supposed to be teaching WHEN to brake.. not exactly how. Besides, if games didn't have different variables, all of them would be the same. The sad part about online racing games is that a lot of people wall ride and like to make other people crash to their advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, wait a minute. I do that! Yeah, I'll admit I love bullying other peoples' cars and trying to PIT them. I watch World's Wildest Police Chases too much.

Pretty funny when some of them yell and their voice is all squeeky. Kinda view the GT series as a "world class" racing.. as in... racing the real way depending on how your car is setup and driver skill. Though the only online option I know of is x-link (I THINK that's what it was called..) Some website held a server so you could run through it and play with other people.

Chris Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 GT is an awesome series. Though I'm not a pro, I still enjoy racing occasionally, and of course last year I launched GranTurismo-HD.com... I also own GranTurismo5.com though so I'll get that all set up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
