Review: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PlayStation 3)

[Zeroknight1345]

forza motors is better

[Vlayko991]

People, please help! I have bough this game on internet, condition: A, but the case plastic wrapper is a bit twisted on the top left side, but it doesn't affect playability.. The big problem is that on the back cover are only following languages: Dutch German Italian French Does this game has English included also?? I don't wish to be disappointed, i nearly searched for this everywhere due to it's popularity. :/ (I don't have PS3 right now, but i'll buy it very soon)

[3670Chris]

How do i play online in this game?

What is that i need to make a account in asomething?

(sorry for my bad english)

[3670Chris]

I dont jnow how to start a race in this game. pls. help me!

[steelfoe]

Lmao its still 30 bucks on psn. Come on sony, make it it 5 bucks like at gamestop. I had way more fun playing prologue then gt5

[MsAdraineH]

@aguichris yea its on ps3.

[MrDavo098]

i got this game for free along with 3 others because i brought a limeted edition ps3

[MsAdraineH]

I jus bought it today. It betta b good!

[aguichris]

@MsAdraineH is it on ps3



[crankyboiy]

whats better prologue or gt5?

[Montegue98]

SOMEONE HELP..... i saved up 2M credits and it wont let me buy the F1 car?!?!

[B14UTH00TH]

I think the graphics of GT5 Prologue are way better than the graphics of GT5 final.

[VictoReX11]

@B14UTH00TH It's just the shadows

[Cmonilikeme]

Wow the graphics of this game are so amazing that i thought the beginning of the video was a real car and people , until i skipped through and saw it was the game graphics itself.. GREAT GRAPHICS ..

[sonicadx]

READ THIS : THIS GAME IS A DEMO GRAN TURISMO 5 JUST GRAN TURISMO 5 IS THE FULL GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gorby19691969]

i've got a good idea.Why don't you get rid of the shit music?

[FilMarck]

GT5 Prologue is a demo and kinda expensive as its a retail game.

[RaTaToUiL3S]

cooooooooool ;-)

[MegaSuzukiboy]

what is the diffrence beetween this and gt5?

[sonicadx]

@MegaSuzukiboy gran turismo 5 is the real game gran turismo 5 porluogue is technically the demo as prolouge means beginning

[carlosperezvidal]

this game sucked cause you have to buy everything and its hard

[XxQcXtremexX]

okay, i want that game, i need it!!! what is the difference between prolongue and gt5? i really don't get it!

[DROWE943]

@XxQcXtremexX Prologue was basically an intro game. New game is gonna have a lot of things ironed out and 1000 CARS :O!!! As well as damage and tracks and online features.

[Anoush13]

@XxQcXtremexX Prologue is just a really big demo of GT5 with a handful of tracks and a decent selection of cars and events. GT5 on the other hand brings in over 1000 cars, 70 tracks, and so much more events to play! Plus GT5 brings in more features including mechanical and cosmetic damage, day night changes, weather changes, better tuning options, track creator, GT TV, etc.

Go with GT5, no doubt! Why buy the big demo over the real game?

[1t2o3p]

if you want all the cars straight away, use the secret menu in the options (this is true)

[thuvarakan2]

@1t2o3p really?? we are not that dum!

[1t2o3p]

@thuvarakan2 no seriously its true, type 'gt5 prolouge secret menu' into google

[ElFlacoAlto1]

I know this is a silly question but is thus better than actual gt5?

[redmar79]

@ElFlacoAlto1 Slap yourself

[BumbleBeest9000]

@hollicampa

I didn't know people could be so stupid that websites like that could actually exist. If anyone tries this they deserve what's coming to (or rather leaving) their bank account

[jakeman49926]

The Prologue version is kinda stupid. Its just an small bit of GT5, don't waist your time. Nice review.

[scotts2300]

dinky little mazda?? haha! i just saw a rx8 pass ur mustang faggot, just kidding but seriously, nice reveiw

[bAnGeDcLiEnT1]

I was really disappointed with gt5 I waited ages and ages and it just wasn't that good. The graphics are good but aren't that great. I have driven over 300 of the cars and no visual damage??????? The menus are dull and confusing... And don't get me started on the soundtrack... Idk It's just not as good as I hoped :(

[nickt916]

i will only by GT when they introduce realistic crash damage. for now ill play GRID and DIRT 2 ... nothing like scaring to crash in an intense race... in GT5 there is no repercussions for crashing

[CentsTwo]

Gran torismo 5 must be a long game it has been 2 days since review and no review yet

[stevieh2780]

@ikerhicham your xbox couldnt handle the graphics in GT5- it would red ring on start up. Not to mention the 3 discs it would need lolz :))))))))))))))))))))))))

[ikerhicham]

bad game !

[capeman6666]

@ikerhicham If you're gonna say its bad give us at least a valid argument, if you just scream its bad and it sucks im not going to take you seriously.

[bliglum]

@ikerhicham Yeah, you right! gran turismo is bad ass!!!

[darknessgodzamorak]

Zlatannichovic103 @

It's not coming out December, it's coming out November 24. And.. Do you ever read the news? It's been announced long ago that GT 5 will have car damage...seriously dude..

[IshmaelDante]

@darknessgodzamorak it only have car damage on 20% on the cars. thats aproximately 200 cars with car damage

[allen67130]

ta une soubarou ?

[ahfldsj]

Is it strange that I'm not at all excited by GT5?

[markybyeah]

is this game out ??

[Redcaster916]

@markybyeah yea it's been out for years.....the best game ever (if you like simulators). Don't buy it though because the full version is coming out in a week.

[Zlatannichovic103]

hmm...everything looks realistic except the damage modelling..i mean, that part is a flaw...looks like some arcade style bullshit when you crash... Can anyone tell me if the REAL gran turismo 5 coming out in december have damage modelling? O.o

[600RRboyJay]

well I like it, and im a motorcyclist :)

[matt6517]

Forza Motorsport

May 2005 - Dec 2010

R.I.P

[Sk1ll3d1337]

@matt6517 what ya mean lol?

[matt6517]

@Sk1ll3d1337 May 2005 is when Forza motorsport first came out, and December 2010 is when Gran Turismo 5 was released, and took driving simulation on a console to another level. It's just a joke that implys Forza was completely blown out of the water when GT5 entered the scene.

[iTalkAppleOnly]

fuck this shit, GT5 is delayed

[nfsmohpsp]

@iTalkAppleOnly nov24

[ashikmohds]

is ter gonna be customization in gt5 (actual game) ?

[mangosandfruit]

i reckon i ve watched every youtube clip that has GRAN TURSIMO 5 in it

[sevillafc43]

@mangosandfruit I reckon that there arent to many videos that says GRAN TURSIMO... There might be many GRAN TURISMO videos though :D

[TheNoizeController]

In "real" game there will be damage! 76 days to the perfect game!!!

[gamekid52]

your camera is horrible or your tv sucks the game looks bad when ur playing it

[rath789]

lol they should have kept this game a secret and not released the prolouge.

then come out and boom everyone faints and dies wen they watch the first 3 seconds lol

[TheUnbiasedGamer]

You sound more enthusiastic about the graphics then you do the game. Are you sure you like or are you just a graphics whore? I'm looking forward to this game but i hope it's actually good and not eye candy. I'm glad i still have time to work on Forza 3 while waiting for this one.

[tarikay93]

Does this game have a crash engine?

[zchaoskid]

whats the first song...?!

[Jose200607]

they need to add crash damage

[Rangeroversport12]

@Jose200607 they have in the full game

[ariell92]

@Jose200607 it have on the original game

[zanzalot]

@Jose200607 They did...

[battlefieldwaffles]

ever played this on an 84" plasma screen tv? i can say I have

[IBlueNinjaI]

@battlefieldwaffles Good for you ;) i have played your mom

[chroniczaaa]

Polyphony said GT5 will be completely different from prologue when its released

[KimiRIkkonen]

I've bought PS3 ! ! ! cuz of this :)

[IrishTim13]

@KimiRIkkonen just wait till the real Gran Turismo 5 comes out!

[danielcalbito]

How do u turn off the music, I've tried a couple times, but can't find out how

[SubZeroJoe]

i'm not a fan of realistic driving simulators. Thats what i have a real life car for. Racing games should be meant to have fun. Even though i hated gran turismo 4 i'll rent this one to see if my opinion changes

[iiiiMostWantediiii]

Playstation 3's graphics sucks !! :ssss

[MrPopyotop]

Can't wait to see the FULL GT5 game Nov 2 2010 !! It's gonna look an sound great on my Sony Bravia 1080p 120Hz HDTV & Sony AV Receiver :-) 

[thedorknight1]

@MrPopyotop awesome.. 

[VolvoEP]

Can you like put new rims and bodykit on GT5???

[GOODKyle1]

Exclusive first-look at the cars and tracks of GT5 at my channel! GOODKyle1

[kn1b1s95]

Gran turismo is so fucking big that their demo is an entire game! So don`t say Gran turismo is bad beucase you find problems in the demo game, they gonna fix it too Gran turismo 5! n better graphics too!

[Sadistic505]

@mattybb47 thanks... This helps

[Sadistic505]

I just got prologue and I'm about to pre-order the full version... Can anyone tell if it would be worthwhile to get a steering wheel?

[mattybb47]

@Sadistic505 it would if your serious about racing but a controller would do fine. If you get a wheel get the logitech gt.

[rocketmagnet427]

just got a slim ps3 120 dissapointed so far i have gt5p and just wondering if they are finally going to fix all the cars not having reverse lights i know its not a big problem but its been bothering me throughout the whole series and the problem with the diffs in the rwd cars a zo6 vette does not take off in a near perfect strait line if you drop the clutch and wheres the skid marks hopefully the put all this in the full version oh and can u tell me how u turn off abs properly simulation my arse

[Gust0561]

Is the prologue free on PS-Store?

[txmusician13]

@Gust0561 no it's like $29.99. sorry.

but don't get prologue though!

Wait till November 2 when the full game hits stores. It has over 1000 cars and many different modes as well as the 16-player online.

I've already pre-ordered my collector's edition!

[ajd2466]

if there isn't damage on cars then I won't be getting this game, how realistic is that?! and car customization better be great, tuning and visuals and such.

[kevlore123]

What is this track called?

[victorelessar]

beautiful game

[salfemist]

this game is great! I couldnt stop playing it, the choice of cars is unbelievable and the graphics are awesome, I would give the game a 9/10 because it is so realistic.

[T4teens]

Fail at being funny and good at reviewing...

[yeason2010]

im betting gt5 will let you add your own playlist like mlb10 theshow, listen to your own music in game

[shadow36057]

@yeason2010 it will its already confirmed you can listen to ur own music in game,, which is sweet cuz i have a ton of songs on my ps3 slim

[Rainbowsixoperator1]

@shadow36057 Not that this is related but the Xbox 360 has had mp3 support since launch. You can listen to any song off either your Xbox 360 or any of the music on your PC. Also you can listen to that song anywhere on the interface not just during the game or on the dashboard. And when you launch a game it continues to play. Alot more convenient than what the PS3 is now offering 4 years after launch. But that doesn't matter to you, right?

[geeksquad2]

prologue is just a glorified demo. i would know, I own it. when GT 5 the full game actually comes out its gonna be amazing! AMAZING

[iJustine21]

@suji463

Microsoft will have specific games when the Xbox Kinect goes retail. Previous games such as MW2 aren't going to be playable with the Kinect

Most people reading my comment simply dont like payin for expensive consoles and videogames. And yes Microsoft is giving away a a bunch of the upcoming Xbox Kinect you might have heard people talking about on their Facebook pages. This will take you to their contest site.

shortener｡org/658082

Use the code XBOX9500 on the 2nd page

[ddlanz]

Prologue is "ok", but kind of lame, I can't wait for the full version.

[xxkevinxx323]

cant wait for the full version

[Drake14161337]

The damage will be in the full version. (Hence the name "Prologue").

[lumpigolum]

this fucking game suck a hell hahaha fuck all hahaha

[lucaslokaumm1444]

@lumpigolum You're a fucking fanboy

[kakan2001]

cool

[EJArendee]

what song is playing at the beginning?

[robiscool09]

GT5 will be awesome :D

[SUNisHI]

Gt5 better not be like the prologue in the handling department or im gna b one pissd of mofo. they could make the handling realistic like gt4 and i would not complain, as it have 1000 cars graphics n more tracks. gt4 is the sex to me.. till november.. I hope

[westchinaman]

The reason why there is no damage is because of legal reasons, car companies do not want game to simulate damage because it has to be realistic as well. If the damage is similar from car to car. Companies such as lamborghini wouldn't want their car to receive to the same damage as a american car. On the other hand, if it was realistic, people would start basing there car purchases by the game, and if the damage simulated was not as worst as the simulated damage, then car companies would lose.

[bscutajar]

@westchinaman You do realise that in the full game there will be damage right?

[westchinaman]

@bscutajar i believe it when i see it. If it is true, the game company must have got through a lot of legal doo.

[bscutajar]

@westchinaman You must have been living in an isolated room for the last 3 years because it has been officially announced that GT5 will have damage. And it's also widely known.

[justWatchin97]

@bscutajar u nerd

[magas263]

@bscutajar damage to what?

[Yaauvids]

@bscutajar fail GT5 does not have damage :L

[darockk]

@westchinaman

legal doo? forza has damage and it has the same car manufacturers in it.

[darockk]

@westchinaman

yeah so now that 15 year old kid is gonna buy a corvette instead of a lambo for his next car purcahse?! =P talk about lost sales

[GTtuner56]

physics might be good but suspension movement doesn't seem realistic. it seems to move and flex as much as a concrete block...

[666patrickbateman666]

This game is like a really boring movie that just look good.

I remember playing the first one on the PS1 and I learned to loathe it.

So I got my PS3 and thought I might try this really good looking game.

I was really amazed that absolute nothing has happened gameplay-wise since the first one came out.

If this is a simulation game then I'm Batman!

Cars do not behave like this in real life -you know !

[Sanchez40065]

I was at gamestop the other day & they had it marked on their calendar for GT5 to be shipped in November this yr!!! GT's website doesn't even mention that, so that could be some inside info.

[harrier125]

@Sanchez40065 Dude, it comes out in like 50 days, not November.

[ndecker3295]

i just downloaded a save game file and everything was unlocked

[666patrickbateman666]

Is this in slow motion ?

[Shazee083]

if this is 5 gear then were is the stig.

[migi92]

@Shazee083 stig is on top gear

[thevandit]

no hamster :(

[spongekitkat0422]

wow....graphics are awesome. looks soo real

[luiscarlos155]

pior lixo tudo mentira o xbox tbn com o jogo forza motor lixo

[Cationification]

I reckon the next big features will actually contain damage and Heep's of gaming modes. Maybe even custom tournaments and perhaps even custom racing tracks for those people who really can make a sweat looking track. I guess the idea of creating your own track would take forever which the kind of texture and graphics the game is up to now. But it's an idea :)

[eman1136]

Okay, instead of making life like graphic's, why not make a game look like a game?

[IvannLiang]

@ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1

uhh.. you know its just prologue right..?

also, granturismo4 already had more than 720 cars so you can probably expect 800-900 cars in gt5 (not the prologue one).

OH i feel like i have no cars when i play forza 3 because its only 400 cars compared to 900 in gt5!~

[ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1]

@IvannLiang really then it might be worth keeping then hmm,...i did not know that

[o0CASHBOY0o]

@IvannLiang actually there is going to be overr 1000 cars in the full GT5! Unbelievable i know!

[ChickenCritters]

@ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1 lol you won't be dissapointed once the real deal comes out

When you buy the game and you put your game in you'll remember me

youll be like chiken was right

[AdrianKmiecik]

it would be better if they made tha grid damage cuz this is shitty. im gettin the game

[vapourmile]

This game is going to sell a lot of PS3s.

[terminator363]

I LOVE THE STIG

[ptuku]

wtf, he's judging this demo like it supposed to be a full game -.-' . That thing about the music.. i have it on and it doesn't bother me because i am enjoying the game. I red somwhere that it will be possible to put your own music in the game in the full version :) also damage will... I just dont get it why he doesn't understand this isn't a full game.

[danielwhite74]

"That's like being in a real race except you can't damage anything and no-one wants your autograph at the end."

I lawled at this. Since when would anyone set out to do damage "in a real race?" The only time one would experience a damage system in this game is if they drove like an idiot. If anything, damage would only encourage aggressive driving online.

[japanigro]

Arrrghhhh such a pointless game, basicly a demo. horrible horrible horrible

@caHardy100 hardly mate, forza had it nailed with 2. 3 is just the iceing on the cake.

Forza and xbox 360 ftw driving games

ps3 fps games are better than xbox imo

[caHardy100]

Ok just for the guys who are say that the forsa 3s cars and land scapes are more detaled. yes you can say that because GT5p was possebly the the isperation for forsa 3.

[standaloneband]

what are the system rquirements for PC on this game? i couldn't find them anywhere. Reply please, thanks! :D

[MegaLiopleurodon]

@standaloneband - This game is available for PS3 only, no PC-version

[Xtremedy]

Megashot, takeone, seriously chill.

[MegaShot419]

@Xtremedy

Just my opinion. I have the right to express it just as much as you do.

[mgoandy33]

Oh come on this video is just nit picking Prologue is just a big demo of the full version of Gran Turismo 5. The sound tracks aren't that bad (I actually like them) and tbh when im racing im not really listening to the music im concentrating on the track and the other AI drivers around me. Damage as we know now is going to be on GT5 : ). Then the other bit he goes on about, Having to race over and over to make cash to buy better cars well all GT games you have to do that.

[enrisant]

in this game people can tk hand free with headphone like is with other games like street fighter ?

[yamato99935]

granturismo 5 prologue graphics: 10/10

gameplay/realism: 7/10

forza motorsport 3 graphics: 9/10

gameplay/realism 10/10

They should put all the good sides of both games into one game, the GT5 official release. Then it will be perfect

[darkzerk7]

Ya i have gran turismo 5 on my ps3. I love the graphics but like someone said, it seems the forza gameplay is slightly better due to car damage, dynamic soundtrack etc..

if they add more features to gt5 release, it's perfect. I'm buying it anyways tho.

[mrMartinRbest]

still i love this old school GT games, i mean GT3 is the best one still..

[darkzerk7]

I played both for a few months now, Gt5P on the ps3, and forza3 on the box.

The Gran turismo graphics are at least 2x more realistic, but in every gameplay aspect, forza beats it IMO. GT would be a nearly perfect racing simulator if only they fixed some of the annoying problems mentioned in the video (looping music, no damage, 'grinding' to get new cars etc.

[SeekerCR]

@darkzerk7 You wouldn't have to grind if you knew how drive XD!

[MegaShot419]

@darkzerk7

I disagree. Forza 3's environments look alot better than GT5p's. The car models also look a little more crisp in Forza. GT5p looks amazing because of the cockpit view and lighting IMO.

[TakeOnNE1]

@MegaShot419 You couldnt be anymore wrong. Car models & backgrounds better? Right.. Because forzas shinging cars is really realistic. Either your a fanboy or an idiot. I have not decided yet.

[MegaShot419]

@TakeOnNE1

Backgrounds definantely look better in Forza. The environments have better textures and longer draw distances. There is also bump-mapping in Forza's textures, which makes everything look great. Forza 3's car models boasts more polys ingame than GT5p. Forza 3 boasts 300k polys per car ingame and GT5p boasts 200k polys ingame. I think GT5p has better lighting and shadowing than Forza though.

[MldnightCIub]

I doubt there would of been a game similar to forza if Gran Tursimo Never existed.

[Ps3LiF3]

@darkzerk7 whats IMO

[CrashBandikoot7]

@darkzerk7 you do know your comparing a full game with a demo right?

[ChickenCritters]

@darkzerk7 lol im not going to tell you to fuck off or call you a fan boy, but you are right i love forza 3. i need my cars sim, but hey lets see what happens at E3 and hopefully we see the stuff you pointed out fixed

[FordGTMaster]

@darkzerk7 Take it from a guy who actually races on tracks like these, comparing GT5P's physics with FORZA 3's physics is like comparing "Race on" on the pc to Modnation racers.

[1993gandy]

@darkzerk7 just wait until the full version of gt5 comes out ;) i got a ps3 just for this game :D

[sandy8118zagato]

@1993gandy just did the same thinghere , i bought ps3 just to play GT5 prolouge

[harrier125]

@darkzerk7 That's why Prologue was released, so they could do this in the actual full release, and that means it will beat Forza 3 in every aspect when it's released.

[hurricaneleoj]

@darkzerk7 its going to fix all of that in GT5, remember GT5 prologue is like an intro game

[PUN15HDPGZ]

@hurricaneleoj so are the cars going to hav damage etc

[hurricaneleoj]

@PUN15HDPGZ in GT5, yep, they are going to have damage, the PREMIUM models, which are like 200 or 100 new cars, are going to have photo realistic damage. The rest are probably going to have regular damage, still good looking but not JAW DROPPING photorealistic. But it can change, I mean they added go karts, 35 tracks, and snow/rain into the game!

[BoneyHead959]

@hurricaneleoj Most people don't know what a prologue is. lol

[adiloveall]

@hurricaneleoj when I bought GT Prologue, I thought it was the famous GT5 everybody is talking about.When I started playing it I was kind of upset despite the stunning graphics.I was used to NFS Most Wanted; the Fast cars, the events with sharp turns down the city and that kind of stuff.I will get a TRUE GT5.I wish it's different and a lot better.Does it really deserve it's reputation ? Thanks a lot in advance :-)

[trxslashdriver]

@darkzerk7 i don't think you can judge by gt5p cuz its only a "demo" in respect to forza 3. and i think that the looping will be fixed, there will be damage in the full game, and about the cars thing, well we will just have to wait and see!

[1993gandy]

@darkzerk7 graphics on the full version of gt5 is meant to be a lot better than gt5p

[datboi734]

@darkzerk7 so wat your saying is since you like forza over a extended demo since the real gran turimo isnt out yet it will blow forza out the water??

[recon205]

@darkzerk7 this is not the official game

[AKpowder686]

@darkzerk7 yea well they have had 2 years to refine it.

[Euugor]

@darkzerk7

Why do people always compare GT5 Prologue with forza?

I guess its there own fault for naming in Prologue, should just make it "Demo"

Altough a little thinking from the players and commenters could help.

[direbloodraven]

@Euugor they probly dont know what a prolgue is. mabe gt5 prologue looks and drives so good know that they think its the full game lol. me personally am waiting on gt5 the actual game people. on nov 2nd. and im sorry but although forzas ok after gt5 is released im done with forza lol.

[dannydavanti75]

cool

[222Jacko]

Awesome game but one poblem. The Damage effects.
