YES! WOO HOO! We've reach review number 200 here on ColourShed! When I started this channel back in 2015, I didn't think it'd be possible to have 200 games in one collection, let alone 200 videos talking about games and consoles. But here we are now with +100,000 subs on YouTube, and for that, I am very grateful! Thanks everyone for watching all these years! Now that the spin-off GT5 titles are out of the way, the next review will be a RE-REVIEW of 'Gran Turismo 5', and it's gonna be a long one! Haha

The prologue version has some unique aesthetic, like UI sound effects and menu effects

One fun thing to consider is that there is only 8 years between the release of GT2 (1999) and GT5 Prologue (2007). No wonder we were so impressed by the graphics in Prologue. We will never see such a rapid improvement in graphics again. If you look back 8 years from current year we have Forza Horizon 3 released in 2016. You could more or less release that again today and the graphics would still be acceptable and better than many other games released recently.

It holds up really well. PS3, Xbox 360 was the last console gen that impressed me with the graphical leap.

I never played this game but man seeing those graphics is a throwback when i was a kid i thought these graphics were real lol

Fun facts: There is a "dev build" that allows you to play with any car you want. This is the only GT game where you manually drive in the pits.

hell yeah 200 ya love to see it

Oh I remember being 11 and seeing this for the first time on my friends dads PS3. It was breathtaking he had a 50” Full HD plasma TV

CONGRATULATIONS. Incase you didn't notice - you're an OG of this style of content and deserve your flowers

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, for a game from 2008, 16 years ago, considered to be very revolutionary for its time due to its very detailed interior view in all 76 cars despite the track counts is quite thin (Only 12 tracks).

I remember back in 2009 when i got my PS3 and came bundle with GT5 prologue for my birthday. I Immediately open it up, plug it in, and started playing GT5 prologue, and I was blow away with the graphics, car models detail everything, and I play GT5 prologue daily until the full GT5 came out. It was a massive leap from GT4 to GT5 prologue in graphics at the time. I always felt that GT5 prologue was more polish then the full game of GT5 and GT6 in presentation wise in my opinion.

I remember grinding GT 5 Prologue with my cousin at my grandparents house so we could each buy our favorite car in the game, good times

Congrats on the milestone

Fantastic video as usual!


Fun fact: in some of the early GT5P gameplay clips, the wheel would turn more than 180°, and the hand animations are pretty much the same as GT4s whenever you drive an open top car.

I dont understand why they decreased the steering wheel rotation, especially since it helps wheel users with precise driving, and casual users for a more realistic experience

Also, a bunch of cars were cut for seemingly no reason, such as the Super GT 350Z (seen in the video), originating from GTHD, the RE Amemiya FD, a tuned variant of the normal FD (akin to the other Concept by GT tuned cars), and the R33 GT-R, seen in trailers and screenshots


As for tracks, There was this weird inbetween of GT HD (premium, not classic) and GT5 where a bunch of tracks are playable and fully ready but werent ported to the console games yet, such as Circuit De La Sarthe and the Nurburgring. Hell, if you do the secret menu cheat in the options menu and tick the unlock all tracks, both Le Mans and Nurb appear in the track selection, but cant be played as there's no data, thus the game softlocks in an indefinite loading screen

This is the one I played, all the way back in 2009.

I have been enjoying your reviews of the older classics for the last couple of years, glad to see you have made it this far. Thanks for the great commentary and content!

I remember playing Gran Turismo 5 Prolouge.

Oh, and I believe in the US, the GT-TV also had a behind-the-scenes featurette called Gran Turismo: Beyond the Apex exclusive to Blu-Ray disc versions of the game, it's a great video talking about the behind the scenes stuff for GT5P, and I highly recommend giving it a watch

Fun fact: The Platinum version of GT5 Prologue contains every patch in the disc. So... the spec III update is not available on the regular GT5 Prologue version, as the servers heve been shut down.

0:06 - Well, hello, Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, Eiger, and Monch. I didn't know there was a track set in my favourite part of Switzerland. I'll have to give this a play!

This is my introduction to The Grand Turismo series. Honestly I loved it, and GT5. They probably get the most hate out of any of the GT games. Only because it succeeded the most highly rated game in the series.
