GT5

[Brazo]

The Nurburgring is truly special, every little dimple, rut and camber can be felt

My Lotus Carlton is truly epic, really struggling to save at the moment as something comes up in the used car dealership and I just have to buy it. They may not look the prettiest but boy do they go

 

[oska]

Yeah, I did the AMG race then the Lupo one on the Ring earlier. I didn't come off once surprisingly. Love the Lupo with some mods.

I saw the Carlton and nearly bought it but will hold off until it comes round again, just about to get a B5 RS4 Avant in grey. Should be good with some tweaks.

 

[ForceIndia]

as your level 20, have you done the historic race car event on expert series??? dont know what car to use for this

thanks gazz

Actually, just read up. If you have a countach, mod it up and add the aero mods. People are winning with that.

 

[Grigaaa182]

Whats up with these luteciaV6's ?? Any different ?

 

[Brazo]

Anyone done any of the race modifications? Have heard these can also transform the look of the car.

 

[lanky]

Yeah I would like to know what these race mods actually do. Also do the aero parts make a difference then?

 

[syko6288]

Ive dobe it to my evo 8 £115k fully race specs it with bumpers,spoilers,graffics and all tuning items

 

[Geddes]

lol yea it is a good race! i may do it again to raise some cash. how are you recording your vids mate?

i've got a Dazzle it records footage and it saves it on the PC, and then just use software to render and up load it onto YouTube

 

[oska]

Was thinking about it for the EK9, looks pretty cool with the minimal graphics, wheels and bonnet pins. Wondered if it changed what mods you already had on the car and just makes it a set model.

 

[Geddes]

I will! need one for hot hatch race

i used my RS6 for the hot hatch , i was well suprised when it accepted in the race lol

 

[couzens]

i have shite cars tho! lol none that are needed for these races, how are you guys getting the money to purchase them? or are they from the used dealership?

 

[syko6288]

Do the special events i got £40k just for ho cart race

 

[kerry-w]

I did the clubman cup 3 times in my Escort rally car and got cash from that to buy cars needed :rasp:

 

[Rob_]

I want this setup

 

[lamborgini8]

It lets you use the Veyron in the hot hatch races as well.

It even lets you use a Dodge RAM for the compact car race.

Um have I bought the same game as everyone else????

Every car sounds the same, like a scalextric car, wtf is going on when you hit something or someone???? do you just bop your head and carry on in real life? Theres no lift off oversteer at all, theres no feel to the steering, everything seems slow, everything is boring, theres no urgency to any part of the game.

It takes about 2 days to load a race, you have to press O then X to go back, whos f**king idea was that???? Why would I want to wash my car?????? It doesnt get dirty!!!
When I read that they had finally put damage in the game and people were talking about modifiying cars i thought they had reinvented gran turismo from being a s**tty 'driving simulator' to a really decent racing game that puts you on the edge of your seat but everything is way too civilised. Theyve managed to take one of the most exciting things in the world and turn it into something totally boring.

Waste of f**king money

edit: AND THE MUSIC??!?!?! THE MENU MUSIC!?! What the fuuuuuuccckkkkkkk who is this game aimed at????

 

[DEMONKNIGHT666]

I want this setup

OMG, I want her, sorry it, dribble

 

[JoeyD]

I'd go as far as buying a PS3 and enduring the awful controller if she came with it! LOL.

 

[Brazo]

Now thats what you call a playstation Rob!

Did the beginner FR races in my Lotus Carlton, whilst overpowered for the race it was very difficult as it likes to go everwhere sideways! A few choice mods were needed, soft sports tyres being the best!

 

[Stu_350z]

Lol did the American Muscle Car race in my Viper '99 GTS

That car just wants to go sideways everywhere :S have to be so gentle with the throttle lol Golded both though

Funny enough I bet my Buick Special can beat the Viper, it was thrashing all the old lambos in the classic supercar race.

 

[treemanx]

Maybe your tv speakers are naff? I can clearly hear the differences in engine noises and as for lack of feel, are you using a wheel or pad? Agree with the menu p**n music comment though.

I agree that the car wash looks quite pointless, unless there's sticky dirt on the rally sytages, altough I'll bet it'd only affect premium cars.

but as for "all sound the same", have you just bought 4 different skylines? there is a noticeable differnce.

RE: Handling - try doing some set-up changes? besides, lift-off oversteer is for front-drive girls, why p1ss about with girly hot hatches when there's a plethora of rear-drive sports out there! I find I've had to tune out painful levels of understeer... typically with more throttle!

GT is still better than Forza or NFS or any of the other cartoon-racing sims out there, so what if you cant plaster OZ and NOZ stickers all over your cars, maybe polyphony agreed with the manufacturers that you couldn't turn every car into some embarassing F&F wannabe? If I was in charge of Ferrari marketing I know I'd swiftly put a stop to that! Civilised? That's a bad thing?

The menu music for GT has always been a bit...... special. Still, makes it better than the usual emo-thrash on NFS or whatever anyway.

Dont get me wrong, this game has plenty of faults, not least being that it took 5 years to arrive without doing anything truily remarkable, but it's still the best out there of this sub-genre.

OMG, I want her, sorry it, dribble

i doubt she'l do very well driving in those boots

 

[Ali]

I bought a CUDA for the classic yank one! FFS! Only 4 gears! That car ended up costing me 100,000Cr to win!!! Pain in the ass!!!!!!

 

[couzens]

pmsl what u win? 17k? if that?

Special Buick is all you needed, bad luck.

6-speeder with 600 brake (when blown)

 

[Christopher]

The bloke has a point, the sound is horrific.

It also needs the wheel to be enjoyable. Says a lot about the physics.

 

[Keydogg]

GT is still better than Forza

I'll bet there will be a hell of a lot of people that disagree with that statement!

EDIT: Ok good point, I won't say no more about it.

 

[Christopher]

Don't start this. People like both games.

But not even the most diehard GT fan (Hi) can excuse some of the issues GT5 has.

You only need to look at the reviews.

 

[Ali]

Well i like GT5, i played it for 4hrs last nite without even noticing! And missed 2 of her calls...She's moaning now! Silly trout.

I agree, to an extent.

If it was brought out 3 years ago then we wouldn't have as many people complaining, it's all about the hype and expectations.

I just looked at it as another gran turismo, expecting no more than that, and I wasn't disappointed... .except for the lack of MX-3's, FRP's, XR4x4's etc.

Although it must mean somehting that I've already started playing Fallout NV again!

 

[couzens]

pmsl i just read that to my misses1! she told me to delte you ali for calling your girlfriend a trout lol!

with regards to forza/ gt5, the only reason i bought a ps3 was for gt5, (3years ago i may add), and yeah 6 years in development is pretty bad for the results weve been given, but its still an epic game tbh. i have forza aswell, and tbh i dont play it that often, have been a ps man since the psone, and i dont think thats gna change. and i guess its the same for the xbox boys, just vice versa.

Agreed.

 

[couzens]

i wont delete you sweetie x

 

[Seedy172]

You see, this is why I don't follow reviews, I like to form my own opinion. And tbh, I take it for what it is... GT. And I think it's very good, yes there's a few problems, and it's not as pick up and lose an evening like f1. But it is pretty good, and I can quite easily get on with it rather than dwell on a few minor issues (although NASCAR is PROPER s**t!!).

Chesh should have just bought the game he really wanted... NFS!!

 

[lamborgini8]

Im a few days slow on this but...

Free roam? Why would you want that? You can explore the area in photo mode if you really wanted to but its a driving simulator, not a walk around simulator.

Im liking the sound of the youtube uploader though, it would save me buying a capture card.

 

[Geddes]

There's been a few games where you can upload games onto YouTube. I believe in the near future every game will have this facility.

I'll be on tonight for w few good races. If you havn't got me feel free to add me.
