Gran Turismo Guide

Gran Turismo is a racing simulator for the PSP. It is the sequel to all of the Gran Turismo games we enjoyed on the PS1 and PS2. It features over 70 cars and dozens of tracks. This game is the first Gran Turismo to be on the Playstation Portable and hopefully not the last.

Gran Turismo 6 for PlayStation 3 brings new levels of authenticity to the Real Driving Simulator as well as introduces stunning new tracks and cars and a revised user interface. A new compact game engine improves operation and increases the flexibility to expand it with downloadable content. Meanwhile, the game also expands connectivity with other…

With Real Racing being launched into a community already enamoured by EA’s mobile iteration of Need for Speed, it feels like a natural reaction to compare the two. Both games opt for a default automatic accelerator, tilt-to-steer controls and touchscreen braking, but that’s really where the similarities end. Whereas NFS was an all out cheesy arcade racer, Real Racing tries to drift more into the realms of realistic simulation akin to an iPhone version of say, Forza or Gran Turismo. Visually the game stands up well to its influences. The current hardware is never going to able to produce the same level of detail seen in Microsoft and Sony’s flagship sim-racers but that hasn’t stopped Firemint from squeezing everything it can out of Apple’s handheld. Real-time lighting dazzles you with lens flare as you fly out of the corners while your virtual hands grapple for control as the steering wheel twitches and shakes under the duress of top speed. The level of detail is truly impressive with all the in-game information displayed in real time on various screens and gauges dotted about your car’s dashboard.

Very realistic racing simulator. Good graphics, good physics and changing weather conditions. This mod is independent, original game not required.
