Gran Turismo 5 – This is my unicorn. The abyss of time I tried to take up the article. The first time I was distracted … Actually, the subject of the article. How was a 40-50 o’clock. At first he steer himself, then began to make fun of the virtual racer from the B-SPEC mode … And all this time I did not leave the feeling that the article would not work. Knocked out, you know, game beyond. Does not climb into a typical review. And then I gave the console, emotions piled up, attention switched. Instead of extended boundaries – emptiness and bewilderment. And the awareness of too little progress (only 15 levels) did not please. It’s like talking about World of Warcraft on impressions of starting location. Kostantin t. Gloomy began to kick me-they say, Yaroslav, where the opus?! And then the meeting took place. A dozen hours, fresh thoughts and confidence are. Gran Turismo – This is a phenomenon. Opponents of the idea linked to me in the comments – and let me figure out what is here and how.
It just so happened that the third and fourth Gran Turismo Passed me. Therefore, long excursions in history and comparisons will not be. And what’s the point – since the predecessors the platform itself has changed. Moreover, she even managed to get new incarnation, Slim, and a hard drive of 320 GB. Only the rod remained unchanged. True, it looks very simple – hundreds of cars of many brands on a temporary segment of more than 70 years. The usual idea, in principle: to write a cloud of cars, write down the real sounds of engines (a feature of the series), call a realistic simulator – and on the way. Although if realism used to be whispering, then now they spray with poisonous saliva – they say, hack, transport does not beat, a blow at a speed of 300 km/h is fraught only with a sarcastic half -smile. Why so? Is it because the new cars in the game are only a couple of hundred, and the rest are pulled from past parts? The version of insolvent developers who could not make a damage model for more than a thousand machines … at least sounds. Let’s start with this outrageous fact. Cars in Gran Turismo 5 Do not beat. Even in network mode, where the damage is included, especially impressive scenes does not work.
Although if you discard the spreading of spare parts on the walls and angles, the game is not so bad – the picture is great. What is on a fiber monitor with a matrix TN, what’s on a flat panel with juicy Japanese s-pva. Mountain landscapes were especially successful. The snowy peaks climb into the frame – the authors know for sure that the mountains attract attention. Highways – generally pride Gran Turismo. Over the years, they change little, only outwardly become more technological – the waves of nostalgia roll regularly. We saw Monza Avtodr already in the good ten games. The Japanese circle under cover of night was, if the memory serves, one of the first races in the oldest Gran Turismo More on PlayStation 1. In almost every frame there is a part of memory, but with the amendment to the present. Immediately fall in love with the perfect asphalt – allulyi, technological progress! Nurburgring forests of Nurburging, ahead of the blind turn “Carousel” ahead, as advised Juan Manuel Fanchio, We aim at the highest tree, drop the gas, lower the gear, a moment of almost complete silence … Gas to the floor, second, third, fourth … There is only a pinch of imagination to complement the picture. The roar of a turbocharged V10 under the hood and rustling of sports rubber is provided by the game itself.
Holders of high -quality rudders will experience real ecstasy: turn off the indicators and all kinds of assistance systems – we stay with the iron horse one on one. I heard even assumptions that on a real car after digital training you can go through the track. Unless overloads are not enough for complete honesty. True, thoughts about realism have always seemed strained to me – how to compare? I do not have myself illusions-on some Calsonic Nissan Skyline with more than five hundred horses, a carbon body and a special design of the anti-wing is unlikely to come to me. Another thing is that the characters of cars are felt, believe in them – it turns out. The colorful Nissan Xanavi Nismo Z Sample 2006 is controlled differently than the Camaro SS re-proposed for years from glorious seventies. Even the Honda Z-CT with a motorcycle engine has an individual. And you will not confuse it with DMC Delorian. Especially if you looked «back to the future». All humor is that cars are more than a thousand. Everyone is unique in their own way. You can never drive any of those that I have listed.
But you sit for a bunch of other rudders – there is no framework. IN Gran Turismo 5 There is no plot. Our hero is just a racer. He receives levels, accumulates money, but all this is necessary in order to buy cars, improve it and burn the hot grooves in a flat coating of tracks. Competitions often have criteria. Somewhere in honor, only American Bolshermotor monsters, others do not let young people with the motto “Classic is immortal!», Thirdly, they squeeze everything from the masterpiece of Japanese engines of the nineties … Traditionally, as in the past parts, Gran Turismo forces to replenish the garage as a clip, so that the player can shoot at any time a roaring motor. True, with the choice of the projectile there were problems … until recently.
Recent patch 1.05 became semolina. Several competitions with a common prize of millions of money – and financial problems have gone the past. Buy, improve, try – an extensive fleet at your service. I rolled enough and became confident in itself – forward, in the network mode, where hundreds and thousands of lovers are ready to fight the best horse cones from their garage. After all, they are in Gran Turismo 5 – Like medals on the chest. Many are rare, others are unique. They are even nice to show them. Here the question of beauty is raised once again. Let other projects are more sympathetic and more likely (Dirt 2, for example), but as for four-wheeled friends … at least that pair of hundreds that are recreated from the tip of the exhaust pipe to the front bumper, look amazing. There is even a special mode in the game – there is a “photo trip”. The wheelbarrow can be placed in several variants of the scenery: Rome, Kyoto, Bern. They don’t let go – and don’t. The camera caught a breathlessly beautiful angles. Print Screen – and on the cover of the magazine. The accusers of the PlayStation 3 of console fading simply did not see it themselves. Unfortunately, screenshots are not able to convey the aesthetic sweetness of the species. Gran Turismo 5 In general, it is happy to put pressure on the feeling of beauty – Each The car can be forced to drive along the demonstration track (and on any other, in principle, too), and the invisible operator grabs bewitching views … To please, even a special competition is special – there is a trip from Bern to Rome on chic supercars. The sun licks their brilliant sides, and elite engines are quite rumbling – we are glad to break out. And between the race of photo shoots in Italian cities. Noble competition without haste and haste, but at an outrageous speed.
But enough for the beauty, now about the insides. Gran Turismo 5 meets us with a modest menu: GT mode, fast arrival, route designer and settings;Moreover, the items themselves are carried out by small icons to the lower part of the screen, and the screensaver is constantly changing: it is the city of the future, and a working engine with a view from the inside, and some cars from the player’s garage. The camera, of course, always looks from the best angle – this is the title sheet! Against the background, calm and unobtrusive music sounds – also a kind of «chip». You feel yourself in an expensive reception. As if in front of the race you get into a soft chair ..
After many years exclusively computer games, the very thought is somehow unusual-you do not need to enter the option. Unless you configure the steering wheel, but while I manage to be a controller – the control is hanged on the left and right sticks, to regulate that gas, that the steering wheel with axes is very convenient. The turns are swollen, there are not even slippers. It’s nice to ride a standard “shell” – the keyboard does not give such happiness.
We start literally from scratch. Cars – no, the level is below the unit, and the cat smelled money. Prices in the store are prohibitive – we will return there after, but for now we move to the traditional market for used cars – here with some regularity a variety of machines accidentally appear. From Japanese small stories and unremarkable «serialists» to the super-tounted car «Formula 1» and rare concepts. The assortment is constantly updated-sometimes here you can catch something uberproof. For example, 2j Race Car is exclusively here … True, it costs 14 million. Where to get that kind of money is a separate conversation.
In stores, all cars are elite. That is, the interior, steering wheel, panel of devices are completely recreated for them – everything is as it should. There are a lot of brands, but I miss the “chip” of the second part – each manufacturer had a “special” model there. She cost crazy money, but she was really unique. Suzuki, for example, is Escudo Pikes Peak – wild red lightning with two engines with a total capacity of 1000 horses. IN Gran Turismo 5 The range of official salons is more modest. Most of the cars you will never buy. They either do not come in handy or are too expensive. Tell me, who needs Lamborghini Miura for fifteen million, when you can buy Dodge Viper for 65,000, pump it another hundred – and you get a real supercar growing fire and reaching speeds over 350 km/h/h/h.
Speaking of pumping. Adored the junction of everyone Gran Turismo – In place. Almost any car can be improved: reduce weight, waste the engine, put a turbine, gearbox, suspension, rubber, change the clutch, improve the exhaust and everything is like that. You just have to try – you will never want to ride boring and slow ordinary cars. Even the faceless “Japanese” can be torn so that it is nice to sit behind the wheel – the character changes strikingly. True, the settings are poor. They don’t allow to delve into the transfer numbers at all … In fact, we can only change some aspects: suspension, differential attitude (if any) and maximum speed in the box. There are no pressure in the wheels, the turbine settings too.
In addition to purely technical improvements, there is also “for the soul”, which is called. In a special workshop, you can wash the machine (although it does not get dirty), change the oil (relevant for used), sort out the engine (I did not understand why it is necessary), restore the body strength (it is also unclear why – the price is asthma, and the sense of zero), paint, change the wheels and turn the usual car into a racing racetra. The latter is available exclusively a narrow circle of cars. For example, from Lotus Elise 111r you can make a black and white sportion. It differs from the usual slightly smaller weight and a slightly more powerful engine. For competitions, it is at 111R that is no longer suitable, but it shows itself perfectly in the race for British lightweight machines. You can also hang different spoilers and other aerodynamic things. Direct influence at least on something I never noticed from them. Yes, and they are not allowed to hang. Elite specimens, as expected, sometimes have two or three modifications, ordinary-well, if one or two, only the rear anti-winged is most often available.
You can’t tell you about the races themselves. There are not so many modes here. Need for Speed It is out of the years, inventing new baubles, even the weapon appeared, and Gran Turismo Everything does everything according to the classics. Ring racing, competition for the time and for the sake of entertainment – rally. Only the conditions change – the car flickers, we are moving forward. We get new levels – races open. Everything is simple. But … this is only the A-SPEC mode.
The second mode-B-SPEC-Kovaren and cunning. There, instead of us, an artificial drive is sitting behind the wheel. We create it in a special menu. He has several skills: trajectory, speed and everything is like that. Computer intelligence will be himself, but we need to give him instructions, one of four at a time: calm down, keep speed, try better and overtake. Controls the B-SPEC machine disgusting. In the sense that he does not cut off, does not climb into the thick, does not know how to jump out and overtake five at once … dull, in a word, in a word. But tries to keep the trajectory. Superdisciplined if it remains cold -blooded. It is worth giving an order to try better, the mood indicator crawls to the dangerous red zone. The guy presses on the gas desperately … and often flies out of the highway. The whole trick is here – to command correctly and on time … and put a rider on first -class transport, otherwise it is unlikely to succeed.
I thought about this mode for a long time. It seems to steam the bot himself – what’s the interest? And the fact that you can «play» in Gran Turismo 5 and do something else. While I wrote these lines, a friend of the racer won the Ferrari and Lamborghini competitions. I’m leaving for dinner – he winds up long routes. In the shower? During this time, he will have time to defeat ten circles. Once I even slept in this mode. Woke up – turned on the next competition … although this is already a clinic.
The B-SPEC mode is good-by the fact that you can observe the process using a cinematic chamber. A review of not only beautiful landscapes opens, but all cars will be able to make out. Flickering markings on sports tires of a fully modified Nissan 350Z – this is something. The game gives a beautiful picture, the races can be watched as if they are real. Only there is no advertising, but the meaning is more. Victory brings money and cars. While I am doing something else, my computer boob is clogging a garage. Interesting find, although very for an amateur. Not everyone will like to look at the process from the side when he can take a more direct part in it ..
Why are cars not fighting?
Gran Turismo Since the first part has a motto – The Real Driving Simulator. We translate: real driving simulator. I think that everything lies in it – that’s why the cars do not beat. This is a simulator driving, not killing a multimillion -dollar car about the chipper. Movement, trajectory, discipline, aesthetics and leisurely nobility – this is what plays the main role here. There is no place for bustle and constant restarts here. On the contrary, the further – the more meditative. The latest routes are able to take away almost an hour. Especially with setting, loading, constant confirmation and numerous menu – this is how it comes out. Gran Turismo 5 Dangerously sucks, but this is the indicator. Okay, cars do not beat-it’s not very much and I want to repair them, it is better to always please the expensive brilliance of smooth, almost glazed sides.
As a postscript, I want to note that for residents of Russia and the CIS countries series Gran Turismo Generally a sign. For many decades we were cut off from the culture of the automotive industry. Only here, perhaps, in museums and specialized literature, you can find the products of the Japanese, American, European auto industry, which we have never seen and will not see on our roads. In a simple and pleasant form, the game allows you to get acquainted with the course of the history of the automotive industry as a whole – there is a certificate for each exhibit, and the museum itself is put into a separate column. The most beautiful thing is that we can not only look and read-at least somehow, but let them ride. Of course, this is not a real trip, but a weak ray of knowledge and sensations is better than complete darkness, ignorance and oblivion.
Pros: Beautiful;cognitively;exciting;Very long duration;the ability to use as a video picture;excellent music;unprecedented fleet;a unique reflection of the achievements of mankind in the automotive industry.
Cons: Dangerously addicts;There is no damage model;too long loads;oversaturation of the menu and unnecessary actions;Weakly setting up a car.
Gran Turismo 5
The best comments
To: [Strong] Teek007 [quote] I think those who did not play. Can’t say anything to write. Just looking at the conclusion. [/quote] The only smart post in this topic. There are ordinary races, but there is a Gran Turismo series and that is what it is said. [/Strong]
Excellent material about the magnificent game. Thanks to the author.
I am not a racer myself (I launch such games extremely rarely, and I bypass simulators generally). Not a motorist (all that under the case is a black box, a dark forest, and I can’t differ by the “Zaporozhets” by the “Zaporozhets”). I can’t drive (for the happiness of pedestrians around the world).
And so, it happened that complete with the sake of UNCHARTED, Heavy Rain, God of War and Metal Gear Solid (not counting Killzone, Resistance, as well as a dozen two more items), I got this game. To the very fact of acquiring this, I reacted coolly. She stood on my shelf for several months at all not printed. But sooner or later the adventures of Nathan Drake and Kratos end, and Gran Turismo asked for a test drive more and more (well, at least for the sake of interest). The launch itself can be allocated in a separate story, I killed on it all evening and a good part of the night (so many updates came out during this time).
Well, then at first the light happened, and for some time (two weeks) later) already a full -fledged roof. Actually the first two weeks I just figured out what and how. Driving training, the first races, the first special competitions on the maps, tuning, test drives, museum cards, car repair shops, shops, photo shoots … In general, there was where there was where to show off the tires.
The game immediately dumps so many opportunities and options that it is necessary to give them only to watch them for several hours, not to mention them seriously engaged in them and this is not looking at the restrictions on the level of development (to all the possibilities of the game the path will be unlocked).
All games in the world were completely forgotten. The phenomenon, of course, is temporary, but the very fact of such an immersion is expensive. In the evenings, a career, nights and on weekdays B-SPEC, a fleet of cars in the garage grows (for rubber). But the game does not let go. A quarry for gold has already been passed (regardless of the joystick, the absence of the steering wheel and the inept driving of the newcomer in the genre), there are already 25 gold awards for licenses and more and more gaze reaches for expensive accessories with 4 zero after the figure on the price tag in the store, they are beckoning more and more special races, more and more attracted expensive cars. The game fell in love. This is a rarest phenomenon in any genre (and in the life of every player too). Namely, did not carry away, but fell in love with. And a secret, is actually simple. One cannot but be imbued with those feelings that the Polyphony Digital team filled the game for six long years. They sincerely loved their creation. Treated him not as work, but as their own child. At the end of titanic labor, one could safely put the stamp “Made with love!». It is invisible, but it is felt in everything. Not having competitors of the details of the car (and even if there are only 200-250, and not all 1000, I am more than enough, I assure you), amazing in the sensations of a physicist (I will not begin to say how realistic it is, because I never sat behind a real trunk, but it definitely does not look like other racing games that I threw it two or two after the first launch), the scrupulousness of which the tracks were created that took into account the tracks that take into account each slope.and the bend of turns, afraid to error a millimeter in relation to reality, finally, the unobtrusive simplicity with which the game teaches to love cars, even those who are far from vocation.
All these are the fruits of this particular attitude of the authors.
Here you can meditate for hours on museum cards and thin settings of the next wheelbarrow (even tuning and simplified to a conceivable limit). Here you can watch B-Spec as a TV show. Here you can just take a photograph – we choose a picturesque place, we bring a camera, click – the wallpaper for the desktop is ready. It was possible not to do this, but it was done. But there is also GT TV (although not always free). And it is unlikely that anyone is actually against such «unnecessary» opportunities.
From the side you won’t understand why GT5 clings so much until you sit down to play it yourself. Starting in the evening you can come to your senses only in the morning, when fatigue brazenly declares itself. For comparison-I once happened to go through 144 km in Fuel. It lasted more than an hour. At its end, I wanted to throw the game with the X-Box, accompanying the process with formidable matules addressed to developers for such an unnecessary and tiring highway. And here I drove 17.5 hours in Nürburg without a break, and only the drowsy stopped in earnest from the continuation. What is there? For two hours I not so much followed the track as an unforgettable sunset over it.
At the moment, almost a month and a half of an intensive game has passed and I understand that I do not want to leave it. It has already been made to make a worthy wheel (gamepad for gold in licenses is catastrophically lacking), and even if I don’t have enough skill on a platinum trophy (damn it, I am far from one), this purchase is more aimed at strengthening the sensations of feedback from the game than to receive a rare icon. Even having completed all the competitions, I will still buy new cars, and collect the missing museum cards, like some schoolchild collecting stickers in the album (that is, the game will continue to be launched daily, as is the case for recently).
There are arcade races, there are car systems, and there is a Gran Turismo that is separate and does not look anymore. A game in which the landfills for one wheelbarrow took almost more than on the entire route on which it is going, because of which there is sometimes a sense of dissonance ate to compare the car with the outside world, but, nevertheless, you do not experience anything other than a sense of respect and gratitude to the creators for such work. Nobody does this anymore. Bravo Yamauti!
And in plus to all of the above, this game will not leave indifferent to beginners and hardcores and hardcores. You do not know how to drive (like me) – take a little wheelbarrow (DLC offer a set up to Red Bull) or tuning the one that is (you can even go into the details of the characteristics), you know how to show all your skills to the rest and save a bunch of loans on tuning and buying unnecessary, but very nimble cakes.
Indeed, sincerely sorry that so many people can not play in it because of exclusive belonging to PS3. May marketers burn in hell who establish such politicians. However, whatever you had to lick a lick, looking towards the box from Sony, GT5 can definitely be safely added to the list of the desired. If not in the first place, then in the first five for sure. One way or another, this is a unique game. And if you devote hundreds of hours to her (which she mercilessly demands) you will be sorry, then at least easy attention (so, at 70-80 hours) she definitely worthy.
And years later, Gran Turismo 5, I will recall as a game of my idea of the genre of racing games (this is the 20th anniversary of game experience), at least forcing him to be really seriously, along with the creations of David Cage, Hironobo Sakaguti, Hideo Cafera, Warren Spector and others there (otherwise than thereThe list is not enough).
You can love, it is permissible and hate, but the indifference is inappropriate here.
The game is cool, I watched a couple of streams, I liked it. I managed to play a little. Realistic and beautiful. Also in 3D)
He will hardly disagree about the meditativity and leisureness of the game, and it was done so much time under the influence of such a mood.In general, the whole chip in the number of cars, the opportunity to see information about them.And much more technological and fast projects shine with a couple of triple cars and get bored as quickly as they are captured.
Yaroslav 2j Race Car can be won in endurance enters, they are not open yet after 25 lvl.
Starkiller, well, there are dents bumper can be torn off or crash so that the door open
Starkiller, well, imagine. You go into a pillar at a speed of 200 km/h. You crash … and nothing. Only the bumper can fly away.
All those who do not believe in the reliable implementation of the physics of car behavior in GT5, write out 100 hours of career and if it does not help, then 24 hours of nürburgring 🙂https://bounty-reels.co.uk/
