Gran turismo 4 prologue review full#
Much like GT4 Prologue, the game serves as something of a taster for the full Gran Turismo 5 experience, which is still a year or so out.

Some 47 million shipped copies later, Gran Turismo is making its first official "full" release on the PlayStation 3 with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The second game pushed the envelope, while the third and fourth hit the PlayStation 2 and pushed the genre to unparalleled heights. Its Gran Turismo franchise broke onto the scene a decade ago on the original PlayStation and revolutionized what a videogame racing title could be. GT6 has more cars and tracks, and better physics, but lacks the feeling of being Gran Turismo.Much more than a demo, Prologue is a fan's taste of perfection.ĪpPolyphony Digital has long been the king of simulation racing. The lighting in GT6 car dealership is like the rest of the game-very depressing. The New Car dealership in GT5 is beautiful and when I used to play GT5 I would sometimes just leave that menu on and watch the light reflect on the car and listen to the bossa nova music. GT6 feels very depressing overall in its tone which doesn't fit Gran Turismo.

I also liked the menu setup of GT5 more than GT6. In GT6 I feel there isn't much incentive to redo the career events once I have done them and in turn that makes it difficult to get enough money to buy cars. It felt unbalanced a bit, but the concept itself was good and I actually legitimately miss it when I play GT6. The main flaw with it was how much XP was needed for the higher levels and lack of appropriate rewards past level 20. The experience system wasn't bad, it gave incentive to play and redo the career events. Looking back on GT5 having experienced GT6 makes me regret having said the negative things I said years ago. I always like to post a pic when I do a post so here's a favorite of mine. Now that I'd play online and pay big bucks for. My impossible wish list that will never ever happen is for a GT7 that consolidates and remasters all of them with modern graphic technology etc.

I still play GT3-4-5-6 regularly and bounce back and forth and never get bored with so much content in all 4 of the GT series and I'm still finding new stuff too.

keep your PS2 and PS3 hooked up and play them all for the best of all worlds in GT. On the GT6 positive side ya can't beat all those additional new cars to try and those new extra circuits like Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Bathhurst, Willow Springs, and the like. In other words when I run my GT-R at the Green Hell Nordschleife I prefer to not to end up passing the 1960's Mark IV GT40 Le Mans winner or a one off multi million dollar Concept car for examples. The Garage Editor allows and has a function that lets you pick out the AI cars you are competing against, hence you can make any races and replays much more realistic especially if posting a video of the race. I've always hated the selection of cars one is given when doing races that under real conditions would never ever happen.

Besides allowing cool car hybrids and much more other cool stuff like getting 20 Million Dollar cars instantly, but for me it really comes down to racing at the end of the day. For me I loved all the abilities it offers when used properly to it's fullest. I never used it for cheating in any fashion though. The one thing that GT5 has above all the other GT games is obviously the Garage Editor. I never really cared about online abilities, so for me this is what it comes down to. Less of an incentive to collect cars, since you can buy any standard car whenever you wantĮach one has their advantages and disadvantages depending on what parts of the game a buyer player likes the most. Cars are kind of ugly in garage view (odd lighting and field of view) + Some cars are using adaptive tessellation, giving higher model resolution (especially in photo mode) + Standard cars fully integrated in photo mode + All standard cars are available in the dealership + Standard cars are better integrated in the game (and some of them upgraded to "semi-premium") + "Open" tracks (Silverstone, Willow Springs, Ascari), allowing you to go quite far off road if you so desire. + More varied events (including Goodwood Hillclimb and Sierra Time Rally) Brakes are unbalanced, you need to reduce rear braking force a lot before you can race with ABS 0 Menu is buggy and can make the game crash
