GT5

[Turkish]

How about chosing a ps3 over an xbox?

My xbox died and I need a new console.

Depends on whether you have many mates with a PS3 or xbox, if you have many games for the xbox or any you'd miss that are exclusive to xbox. Or any other titles that are a temptation and PS3 exclusive. GT5 alone is not a decent enough reason to buy a PS3 IMO.

 

[Turkish]

So whats the crack with the Bspec races?

Do you actually have to give your guy instructions or can you just let him crack on with it, watch a bit of TV and come back for him to have won you a decent car?

How do you create a driver that doesn't have special needs?

You can't leave them to it no. Leave them with an modest pace and they'll never overtake, tell them to drive hard and leave them to it and they'll cook the tyres and/or crash. Treat the AI like the r****d it is and monitor what it's upto.

 

[Nigel]

Is it worth buying if you already have a PS3?

Non of my friends have bought it yet, but I'm getting tempted to try it.

I've got mates with both consoles so that's not a problem. I need to get back into gaming asap. The only exclusive Xbox game that I want is Gears of War 3, which isn't until the end of next year so exclusivness isn't an issue either. I'l probs just get a ps3. Been wanting to try one for a while and I do really want to try GT5.

[Geddes]

so far so good on this freebie jag on the GT world championships on the Pro, winning everysingle race and in front every time not bad for a std old race cvar

 

[Christopher]

If you've got a PS3 already, it's worth a rental, or a purchase if you're flush.

To buy a PS3 for this game would be mental. It's not good enough for that.

My B-Spec Bob is doing alright, level 12 at the sec for the 1st few race's i gave him some of the stupidly powerful cars so he wouldn't have any problems.... now i can set up a race and leave him to it, come back and he has won
as has been said , you get much better cars for winning in B-spec compared to A-spec imo...

So we don't sound like a pair of haters it's probably best to point out that you'd be hard pushed to justify a console purchase based on one game alone, no matter how great it was let alone the 7.5-8 out of 10 that GT5 warrants.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, pretty much.

Uncharted 2 is a console-seller, not GT5.

 

[Will.]

My mate has already offered to lend that to me

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

the damage in gt5 is uber let down!! head on crash at 150mph results in mildly misshapen front bumper....

 

[lamborgini8]

Love how people go on and on about the damage... It's a driving simulator, not a crash simulator.

 

[couzens]

how are people doing this facebook thing, even with the walkthrough i cant do it!

 

[Nigel]

I only have COD on PS3, wanted this to be good so I could justify my purchase from a couple of years ago. I think I am going to rent it first.

 

[oska]

how are people doing this facebook thing, even with the walkthrough i cant do it!

f**k knows, tried it twice with the guide and it justs doesn't do it.

 

[lamborgini8]

What walkthroughs? Im assuming the walkthroughs are telling you some long way of doing it.

I simply did the rally photo shoot game 5 times and got the car.

Just do the photo shoot game and when done just create a grudge on one random player, then repeat the process 4 more times until you have done it 5 times. It will come up with a dark box when you create a grudge but just click the facebook home link, then go back to take it to the track and it will have counted as a new grudge.

 

[Earpl]

Been excited about this for years!!!!1.....

And you know what..... I think its a bit of a let down

 

[FiXX]

Love how people go on and on about the damage... It's a driving simulator, not a crash simulator.

and in real life crashing results in no damage? lol

 

[lamborgini8]

and in real life crashing results in no damage? lol

Besides the point really, the idea of the game is to race around a racing track and win money and cars, not intentionally crash into a wall at 100mph, smash up the car and win nothing.

Gtfo..... ktnxbai

 

[Ads_172]

Aye, as a Noob I'd find it infuriating if my one mistake meant I wrecked my car. Realistic, perhaps, but I want to actually be able to race and enjoy the game. Having to continually retry races because I'm learning the game, as well as spend 000's of credits on repairing damage, would do my head in...

 

[The Boosh!]

f**k knows, tried it twice with the guide and it justs doesn't do it.

+1 POS

 

[Turkish]

There's plenty to be said for damage with mechanical consequences. Completely changes the attitude to racing once you introduce a penalty for sloppy driving or intentional demolition derby tactics. If you're simulating racing, real racing has both the potential for wrecks and the penalty for getting involved in them. If you want a dodgems simulator then no damage is fine, otherwise no.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Frig me terk BORING, you lost a good source for JDM pics? Im missing your updates

Actually doesnt stop me driving like a hero on GRID or DIRT

 

[Geddes]

i've tried to transfer my Veyron and Pug 205 turbo from my Widow account to my LordGedi account and it said 'upload failed' and there's no little pic of the car when you go into the 'garage' if you know what i mean.

Any ideas?

 

[Brazo]

This video is qualo, if a repost sue me...

Someone please embed as I fail...

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Mark sounds like you've lost the cars bud why didnt you just copy the save to the other account?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Lol at the vid

 

[Geddes]

i still have my cars, but have no picture, how do i do it that way?

 

[Geddes]

the Veyron is qualo, even standard is epic. you need to slow for the corners but the straight line speed is emense

 

[Dredz06]

i still have my cars, but have no picture, how do i do it that way?

have you changed the view of the garage? theres about 4 different viewing options

p.s anyone got a classic jap car so i can polish off my last couple of beginner races? il trade you my rx-7

 

[Turkish]

Frig me terk BORING, you lost a good source for JDM pics? Im missing your updates

eh? You mean GT5 pics or in the media forums? If the latter just seem to see the same cars or same pics posted over and over. Most of the decent quality stuff or different cars have been posted already in there.

The damage on grid isn't as punishing as something like Forza or a "proper" sim. You only have to give a front bumper a bit of a knock on Forza and your top speed can get hit a fair amount thanks to drag alone. Odd wing mirror or bumper loss round Tsukuba when things get a bit BTCC with Turner, Chris and ginger b****cks adds to the amusement too.

lol at the first comment

 

[Brazo]

Thx!

Yo dawg, I've heard you like cars, so we put a car on your car so you can drive while you drive.

As for the first im talking JDM thread.

As for the above about damage omg its boring fella i dont care about the damage, on gird if i clip i kerb or summat like it normaly ends with me loosing speed due to it crabbin its **** off no argument at the end of the day going on n on about the damage is BORING come on fella drop it i aint gonna argue which is better because i know forza looks better for damage but as i quote turner said "GT5 is the best sim ive played todate" so could we say GT with Forza damage = ALL ROUND EPIC GAME

 

[Turkish]

Chill winston. I'm not picking an argument with you about damage nor going on about it. I was responding to Lamborgini8's comment, he's just spouting s**t if he thinks damage doesn't matter in a racing game. Mario Kart doesn't need it but any decent "sim" worth mentioning should have a decent damage model with scaled lasting handling/performance deterioration. Forza needs to lose sticky grass, GT5 needs to lose invisible walls etc. None of them are perfect and I doubt they ever will be. I just like a game to be a decent level of simulation hence all driving aids etc OFF. I'm as entitled to say it matters as you are to think it's boring.
