Redpill me, car game fans. What's the point of this game?

GT is the only game that has a focus on the "love" of cars.

the driving isn't that bad but there's better yeah. it's an alright package with decent sp content and fun mp and lots of car porn shit.

>GT is the only game that has a focus on the "love" of cars.

What does that even mean?

>>384156319
Does Gran Turismo have proper crash mechanics yet? The last one I played was on the Playstation 3 and when you run into something, the car just stops. If I hit something, I want my car to be wrecked.

Gran Turismo is one of those games that's clearly meant for people who actually race for a living. It's basically a porn game for Indy car drivers.

If you aren't a gearhead who knows more about cars than the presidents of the United States, it will seem a bit much

>single player is just 100 short missions and training

HAHAHA

GT are AAA games made by a company that has a budget and a staff for Atlus tier games

no and it's never gonna happen because car manufacturers don't want their cars getting wrecked even though if it's in a videogame.

polyphony could at least add some more damage though like loose bumpers, dents, glass cracking and things like that .

>>384156626
They put some scratched textures on the cars in the latest beta of Sport, but it's more cute, than a legit attempt at a "crash mechanics".

>>384157157
>no and it's never gonna happen because car manufacturers don't want their cars getting wrecked even though if it's in a videogame.

Who the fuck perpetuates this bullshit? And why? Post proof.
There are plenty of games with proper damage models where you can completely wreck your car. See Grid 1. If they could get away with it, I don't see how others can't. Why don't they make rekk models like Grid 1 anymore?

>>384157445
It seems like around the time Need For Speed Underground came out, racing games (except for some exceptions like Grid) got rid of all vehicle damage.

>>384157445
there is probably some truth in that but I think the real reason is basically waste of resources. GT is never intended to be a crash test game or destruction game. focus is on clean racing and destruction in that sense is basically a gimmick mechanic. it doesn't add anything to the gameplay but it puts a lot of work to recreate destruction every single car. the game would turn into a destruction derby game in an instant and that's not what gt is all about.

>who actually race for a living

But it's not. It's hardly a car simulator. While the game is very heavy on car porn, the actual driving mechanics of the series are pretty supbar. If you want realistic driving, you'd play iRacing.

>>384155619
>t claims to be a realistic simulator
Where did it ever claim that?

I drive my car everyday. Shit i worked on a car dealership and it was my work. Why the fuck would anyone want to pretend they are driving a fucking car?

>>384158337
GT literally raised a winning racing team and now has the official backing of FIA too.

>>384158362
check the picture of OP, you dingus
it's on the cover of the gamep

>>384158685
real=/=realistic

>>384155619
Oh boy, a GT thread! I can't wait to see all these kids who have never driven a car tell me all about how wrong the cars handle in these games!

>>384158231
Well, if I crash into another car or into the wall and nothing happens just a wonky sound effect, the immersion kinda breaks then and there. They don't have to make crashes hyper realistic or turn it into a car crash simulator, but it has to be "there". Something like GTA4/5 level would be sufficient. The current way it's a joke. Given their massive bloated budget I fail to see why they couldn't do it. The guys lack passion for creating the best game they could.
Shamefur display, the entire team should commit sudoku.

>>384155619
The game has just the right balance of realism and arcade in terms of drive physics.

It has the most solid and vast online community of any racing game. Most racing games online communities die after a year or less. These games have a lot of users until the new ones come out.

Verities of sport: drifting, drag, oval track, road course, circuit, highway cruising.

Lots of cars.

User friendly menus.

>>384158868
yes it is, the fuck is wrong with you, ESL?

>>384159493
Not sure about online because I don't play or care about online, but aside from that you just described Forza Horizon 3.
Except FH3 already looks, sounds better and has more content. Why should amybody play GT over that for example? Is online that much better?

>>384158539
Yeah because I can really afford a Ferrari F40 irl. I can totally afford to travel the world and go to all these world renown tracks. I can totally afford to go through tires like crazy irl. I can totally afford to buy 100 cars irl.

Why would anyone play a game??!!!!!???????????

>hurr durr GT sucks
>proceeds to sell 10 million
Not to mention the games last a long time have a stable online community and despite selling well aren't on a COD schedule to milk them like other racing games.

>>384160425
>if many people buy the game it means it's good!
Dude.

>>384159614
I feel like I've had this exact conversation before when Wildlands said they had "real weapons" and everyone thought it meant "realistic."

>graphics are on par or worse than fucking Forza

GT doesnt even come close

>>384160305
I don't want an xbox. And I don't care enough about vidjya to spend the time and money to build a PC.

>>384158539
I don't know about you, but I rarely have the opportunity to go on a race track. And to be honest can't affort a car suitable for that and don't really have space for more cars.

Not even going to pretend that pretending to drive cars is anywhere near the real thing, but it's still fun.

>>384160305
Well, I care about online because racing against AI isn't fun at all. Without online I would only play a racing game for a week and be bored of it.

>>384160617
It's pretty obvious that GT markets itself as a hardcore driving sim, which it isn't. That's my point. Arguing over what that word means is pointless, it doesn't change this.

>>384160627
It looks like an HD remake of GT3

>>384160882
Yeah, you're right.

GT is pretty realistic but it offers plenty of vehicles that are entirely unrealistic. the physics engine is constant and irreversible. when you pass someone the computer doesnt make it faster for the sake of keeping pressure on you. its just a physics engine focused on rolling on the ground. like ksp is focused on space.

>>384160867
Fair enough.

>>384161081
>the physics engine is constant and irreversible. when you pass someone the computer doesnt make it faster for the sake of keeping pressure on you.

That's a very fancy way of saying the game doesn't use rubberbanding, which I'm not entirely convinced is true. In any case, I don't think it has anything to do with physics engine, more like a difficulty setting, which I am sure can be turned off in other games as well.

POWER OF THE PS4

GT6 is definitely just a simplified physics engine, they even talk about in the development videos for the prototype cars...that very same physics engine is what gives atleast a realistic ATTEMPT at different airflow over different surfaces, and consequently give an in-game comparison between different existing cars. i think this is one of the reasons Porsche opted into other games and not GT6, because other games are games and GT6 is a sim.
