Is Gran Turismo As Realistic As Actual Driving?

December 23, 2010 in Blog comments 3

Is a video game as realistic as actual driving? Giving you access to the fastest and most expensive cars in the world? Check out our editorial at GameZone.com for more details.

Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo series is highly regarded as one of the greatest racing series ever made. It seems with each new release in the series, the company manages to outdo itself, starting with the original Gran Turismo on the original PlayStation and leading up to last month’s release of the long-awaited Gran Turismo 5 for PlayStation 3. What is it that’s so appealing? Many players enjoy the sense of realism each release brings, as if you’re racing through the Tokyo circuits or the grueling (but awesome) Nurburgring event.

    The physics were rigorously tested, and were also tested by actual racing drivers. They're pretty accurate.

      Physics don't count for much when a game is missing all those sensory cues and triggers that a real car gives. I mean unless you have a driving seat rig that actually swivels and simulates each bump then Gran Turismo and any game trying to be realistic will fail to achieve their goal.

    No, the two shouldn't really be compared. Sitting on a bed/couch playing a video game is absolutely nothing like being in a drivers seat.
