IGN Reviews - Gran Turismo 6 - Review

Still chasing perfection.

[NickyGi]

Gran Turismo is made for people that love cars not for people that love racing games

[chorepuseify]

I don't understand WHY there's so much negetive comments and opinions about Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo really shows how beautiful cars really are. It really does succeeds to show how magnificent machines cars are. That is something Forza can't do. I mean the replays, photo mode, the perfect choice of music and all these cars and content! Forza will never EVER be a better racing game than Gran Turismo. It's not even close to be the same, even if it's not supposed to. That's at least how I see It. The GT franschise is made for those who LOVE cars. I think that is what people doesn't get.

"You can't count it twice just because it's purple, Polyphony!" xD

[maikai]

Quantity of cars does not equal quality of cars. Just sayin.

I really like that this game has a bunch of older cars from the 90's and early 2000's. I can fantasize about fixing up cars that aren't completely impossible to own. I have switched from GT games to the Forza games around GT3 but I'm getting tired of only having mostly supercars and that's it.

[fabersoul_beats]

this game feels like it was rushed and sony wanted to cash it in

[redhotbbqfriesL]

ITS ONLY ABOUT GRAPHICS GUYS. seriously though, Forza is kinda silly. Everything is over-exaggerated and not realistic. GT handles more like a real car, Forza is just fun. 

Also it didnt come out on PS4 because the GT engine is so embedded in the 6cell processor, it will take another 3 years to make another/upgrade the engine. The GT team isn't as big as you think. Also Im pretty sure theyre following the (two gran turismo's per generation) tradition.

Yamauchi passion for cars is astounding.... I mean.. this guy is going through thousands of cars recording engine sounds for GT.  Pro racers running GT as practice...average nobodies become professionals going through GT academy and competitions.   Hell.. his technology and programming was used for the Nissan GTR....

Yamauchi will die happy knowing he created all this.  but will he reach perfection?

Forza?  Thats just a video game.

I can assure you all here today after playing GT6 that it is only slightly better looking than GT5. HOWEVER!.. It's clear that Polyphony weren't focusing on graphics, they were making huge improvements to the physics engine. Cars feel so much more dangerous as you creep over the 400 HP line. Trying to take off in a Huayra with no traction control is a constant battle for traction as the torque will get the better of you. It's also vastly more fun to mess around in. You wanna go nuts in the dirt at Willow Springs? Nothing is stopping you, whoop it up. Feel like strapping NO2 to you're Mini Cooper? Well I hope you brought fresh underpants. Gran Turismo is fun again.

Shocking. This is the second time Shuhei Yoshida has said "Let the reviews speak for themselves" in confidence and yet it's not this game that is supposed to knock me out of the park.

[AnotherComputer]

I have been playing GT6 for about a day, and I have to say that it blew me away. The UI is faster and more fluent, the sounds are better, there is massive difference with GT5 as far as handling goes, the collaboration with KW and Yokohama really paid off. There is an abudance of cars and tracks to choose from...

Leave the Xbots raging cause they know how much inferior Forza always was. The only thing Forza has better is damage, and even damage is not as good in FM5 as it was in FM4. FM5 came out with half cars, half tracks and the game is designed around microtransactions, it's only a pretty tech demo. FM5 should be free to play actually...

I did get around to playing GT6 with a wheel at an event and it was as if I was driving a real racing car.

EDIT: The game looks MUCH better than this video, the graphics are sharp and clean. Don't be fooled.

[Dinobot]

Seems reasonable. People are getting very spoilt with the graphics, these are BEAUTIFUL. Its also running on 8 year old Hardware, people are saying the sound is terrible with is laughable since they use recordings of real cars. People expect unrealistically sharp sounds which is just not fitting to a simulator. 

[akselijanhunen]

It's a racing sim, not a crashing sim!

[sanskarsrivastava]

Answer honestly
Who came here after watching trailer for GT 7 for PS 5

[PSHD]

I think Forza 5 has spoiled me to much, this game looks like shit, I have no Doubt GT7 will look absolutely amazing on PS4 though, i just wish they would have released GT6 next year on PS4 instead of PS3 this year.  Dissapointed

[MegaProRacer]

This game was held back a lot by the PS3, on PS4 it could have been amazing. And comparing it to Forza is like comparing small apple to a big apple. Forza is on next gen.

[uaedriver]

The only bad thing in this game is the sounds, there will be sound update in the future.

[captaincrumpet]

I've loved Gran Turismo my whole life, the tracks, variety of cars, fun competition and how much soul it's had over the years. I do think that GT5 pushed the boundaries a bit, I personally thought the car sounds and damage was off. But it had over 1000 cars, weather setting, course maker, more tracks, the museum, brilliant GT Auto shop with sexy music. Fun and unique events, beautiful visuals, jazz music, awesome tuning, better cars, and much more. People just don't realize hoe special the GT series is, and I'm not saying its better than Forza. But I grew up with it, and even with its flaws, its the pinnacle of racing games, with Forza alongside it. Lets not rebel, we are gamers who must not argue!

[Undecided_]

gran turismo 7 next gen, please reduce the car count by half, update half of the half to the next gen quality, update the other half just a little bit so they look like PS3 instead of PS2, put an insane damage/physics engine in with extreme simulation, and better sounds. I bought a PS4 this time around instead of an xbox, dont let me down sony

[TheGamer]

This game has 2x the content forza 5 has for example driving in the rain, driving go karts, and driving in space and forza 5 is a next gen game.
