The number of race tracks also increased through the next sequels. The first Gran Turismo had an inventory of 11 race tracks, a number of which have been continually expanded until it reached the number of 73 tracks in “Gran Turismo 5” and a 100 tracks in “Gran Turismo 6.”
The gameplay of “Gran Turismo” is racing. The player drives a car on race tracks in two distinct modes: the Arcade Mode and the Simulation Mode. With the possibility of choosing a gameplay mode, the player can choose which tracks are most suitable for him.
The Arcade Mode consists of the player’s choosing the cars and courses, and with each race that is won, a set of new cars is made available. The gameplay in the Simulation Mode consists of the player earning driver’s licences in order to qualify for specific races. The player can earn trophies, rewards, and cars by winning in championships. Once a player wins a championship, additional demonstration tracks and a video becomes available.
The driving can either be performed during daytime or night time. The number of tracks which is constantly upgraded has been classified into four categories in “Gran Turismo 4.” These include City and Dirt, World, Snow, and Original. The tracks cover various terrains and the difficulty of overcoming a terrain is increased as the player qualifies for more advanced race tracks.
I for one am VERY excited for Gran Turismo 7. Gran Turismo 6 did not sell so well due to its predecessor, Gran Turismo 5. GT5 was not a really good game, from my perspective. GT6 is a definite improvement, but GT7 can’t come fast enough. I feel GT has been left behind with all these other racers being released for new gen, but none of them offer quite as much s GT6. We gamers love GT6, but we feel like it is getting outdated, like we are being left behind. We are tired of the bland sounds, the bland experience we have with the tons of fun we have improving our skills. We want those extreme sounds that make our hair stand up. That curdling V8 sound, that astonishing sound of a suped up V10. We no longer want to hear a vacuum cleaner, a microwave. We no longer want to look at the horrible rendering on the “Standard” cars. We want ALL premium cars. Tbere is SO MUCH missing from GT6, and as a fan, I can speak for most of us when I say that we are looking for the same experience elsewhere, but GT has it all, that’s why we are staying loyal. Give us something for staying true. Give us a reason why we should stay loyal Polyphony. We love your game, but we are tired of sacrificing great graphics and tracks and settling for washed up graphics and terrible sounds. I am VERY VERY excited for GT7, it can’t come fast enough.
You people who want to get rid of the Standard cars but are satisfied with Standard tracks which actually look WORSE are just strange.
Yes, Gran Turismo 7 can’t come soon enough. There is a unique satisfaction to racing in a Gran Turismo game that just isn’t in other racers. Since the Playstation 4 is easier to develop for, and is apparently much more powerful than people predicted – just see the performance of Project CARS! – I expect great things from Polyphony Digital in the upcoming GT7.
There are some great racing games out today, and people don’t seem to realize just how spoiled they are. But Gran Turismo is in its own class, and even as few as GT6 sold so far, sells at unreal numbers because it is so unique. I’m looking forward to a Gran Turismo which once again reaches new heights of racing experience.
