This has been irritating the shit out of me ever since it was announced. Gran Turismo 6 on the PS3 and Forza 5 on the Xbox One. It's like a slap to face for anyone who has played the any game from the GT Series, I mean Polyphony Digital is going to release it during the upcoming holiday season. At the same fucking time when the PS4 is coming out. Sony couldn't be pulling a better time to screw themselves and their biggest gaming franchise over, putting a what could've been a really great racing "simulation" game on the PS4 if they waited a bit, BBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTT NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO................ someone just had to have an idiot moment at Polyphony and say let's put it out on the nearly outdated PS3. The screwed up part of it is that I'm going to contemplate on buying it because the only real thing that Sony can claim over Xbox is the free PSN membership.
If it wasn't for that and the fact that I grew up playing the Gran Turismo Series since it's first game, I would've stayed with Xbox (My 360 Elite ended up with Red Ring) because in detail and little things that making racing simulations great is paying attention to little details in customization options and car set ups. That's where Forza kicks GT's ass and it'll probably be the same in the future whenever Forza 6 and GT7 are released. Even with that I still want variety from the perspective of a greasemonkey cause that's where racing simulations are aimed at people who pretty much either like cars or are into racing. But when I look at both of those racing series there is one thing that I hate both of them for, leaving out classic cars and putting in either too many present day garbage Ferraris/Lamborghinis or too many useless cars (Toyota Prius), GT5 is known for this 1,200 plus car list and about 750 are useless/duplicates. I mean throw in some 87-89 Mitsu Starions, Mazda RX3's and the FB3S, 90 and 97 Civic Si and Ex or just something that's bat shit crazy that'll make a game like Forza and GT fun like drop in a school bus or an 18 wheeler or something like that. Ehh you know what maybe I'll save up and go back to Xbox and just fork out the 12 month membership.
