i love when people agree on this forum...

@ rock on

Huh? You are quite a strange poster. You have said earlier that GT5 is garbage and racers suck, etc.

as someone who loves GT....a few reasons.

• I have a nice car, but it cost a lot of money if I get a speeding ticket in it. I would rather go 180 in a video game every day then attempt a daily trip to 180 in real life (although I have done 180 in it a few times :p)
• A lot of gamers are graphics whore's (even if they don't want to admit it). This shows off they system better then any other game.
• Most people who buy GT, will buy a console just for GT. They are not gamers, they are racing fans, and love racing. This is why it's a great console seller, a huge seller, and most gamers don't get it. It's a game for non-gamers (although a lot of gamers like it).
• For anyone who fits the above description, there is no better game on the market.

Maybe the GT fans are too young for drive a real car.

no dude i think its arcade racers are to young to drive. im a junior in highschool taking french 1 with all of the freshman and sophomores, cant drive... anyways everyone of thme that has a ps3 or 360 say that forza or GT are boring and would rather play, well they had a list of arcade games. my point is i think you have to be old enough to drive your own car and really apreciate driving like they do in like europe as aposed to american where its considered a chore! every one of my friends that are really into GT are really big f1 fans and just racing all around fans so it makes it easier to apreciate the game ya know?

btw i can drive, unfornately a Ford Explorer! cant do much high speed turning in that! it is fun though when we get this minnesota snow and go shitty wippin.

I'm amazed here no one's mentioned a certainty the GT series has going for it.

The reason Gran Turismo is so popular - Graphics - and Graphics Whores.

I like the previous post that Gran Turismo has the Pokemon effect to it. Gotta catch 'em all!

I like the incredibly realistic racing. If you're a gearhead, you can tune the crap out of the car.

The one thing I do notice, is that you can turn, but if your tires are slipping, you can "lean" on the other car and make a tight turn that would be otherwise impossible at that speed. Also you can run into a wall at 100 mph and then just back up and keep going again.

I still love the game anyways. Like Wii Sports for the Wii, GT5 is going to be the showcase game for the PS3.

its the real driving simulator, hehhe as they say ;)

The fanbase is huge and its a great game. All were great

It's fun, it has the most realistic graphics I've seen on a console and has great online.
