Comparing Gran Turismo 5 Locations With Real Locations

1:20PM August 26, 2009 | Brian Ashcraft

Realism is a keystone of the Gran Turismo franchise. Those in-game cars are so close to the actual machines that GT is more driving simulator, less driving game. But how do the real life locations stack up?

The lighting and perspective don’t always stack up in the comparison screens, but the in-game shoots look accurate. Hey, there’s the Sony Computer Entertainment building!

      It doesnt look the same but granted… it is a videogame… Still good. Gran Turismo constantly reminds me I really need to pick up a G25 sometime.

    Its not a simulator though, hit a wall at 100km/h and keep going? I don’t think so. It’s still a racing game. Go look at GTR evo for a real, full on simulator.

      By your logic microsoft flight simulator (so realistic its used to train pilots) shouldn’t be a simulator because when your crash your plane just sits on the ground.

      But yeah obviously the roads are different because they have been converted into race tracks.
