This is also why I'll always prefer GT4, the game's complete without network features and thus will never go away

This was just GT4 but rehashed with more content and far better physics. Seems its status has been tainted by it's non-innovative development cycle and re-use of assets rather than the game in of itself as a racing sim. This is still my 3rd favorite GT game.
