Gran Turismo appreciation thread

I have a copy of GT4 that I've never put in my PS2... I can't be arsed to hook the thing up..... :embarrassed:

I think I have GT3 as well....

I have the following racing games for the PS3:

Need For Speed: Pro Street (Pretty lame, but I still had fun with it)
Need For Speed: Carbon (Already beat it on Xbox 1, but still had a good time playing it again. Some of the boss races are damn near impossible)
Need For Speed: Undercover (Pretty easy, but fun)
Need For Speed: Shift (Before GT5, this was the best PS3 racer, IMO).
Dirt (Amazing Rally racing)
Dirt 2 (A bit more 'arcade' than Dirt, bur still wicked fun)
Grid (Visually impressive, great interface, works better with the controller than the wheel)
Sega Rally Evo (horrible)
Burnout Paradise (Fun, mindless driving, lots of replay value and online death match is great, only $19.99)
V8 Superstars (pretty good download game)
Midnight Club LA (The little bit I played it, it's fun)
MotorStorm (Bought this for 5 bucks or something. Not worth that much.)
Juiced 2 (Meh!)
GT5 (The king and new champion)

I asked for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit for Christmas. The demo was pretty damned awesome. It's a cross between Burnout and N4S: Undercover, coded by the same guys who made Burnout Paradise.

I just saw that Need For Speed: Shift 2 is coming out March of 2011... Kickass!

PS3 is the system for driving sims, IMO... :embarrassed:

And don't get me started on how awesome the Pinball sims are.... :embarrassed:
 
You guys suck. I am not a gamer at all but love driving games. What is worse, you give a solution to buying it cheap. Man, if I do that, I'll never have time to play my guitar. Eff you guys.

i missed out on the demo, damn limited run :mad:

what was the driving like.. can you characterize the balance between sim and arcade? i like burnout, but i like my need for speeds to have a bit more sim feel compared to the burnout series
 
I think i'm going to check out a PS2 at lunch today. :embarrassed:

What other games are fun besides GT4? (if anyone can remember back to the playstation 2 days)

Driving was good. It was not as loose as Burnout. It's closer to Burnout than N4S shift, though.......
 
I have heard a lot of good stuff about San Andreas.

Is God of War a first person shooter type thing?

Third-person action/adventure. Some puzzle solving and RPG elements, such as upgrading attacks and spells. Vid below is the remastered version though, so the original isn't quite as great looking. Really, really fun but there are some tough parts.
