GT5

Will be interested to see what people reckon compared to Forza. Although not sure if people realise the "full version" won't be out for a year or so still, in which time Forza 3 might be out and make things very interesting...

I need to have another go on it with it set to sim as apparently when I played on it it wasn't. GT5 is the thing above all else that would sell me on a PS3. As much as people bang on about blueray etc I can take it or leave it but deep down I have been a GT Fanboy for years. Forza in terms of the drive and depth of the gaming experience blew the doors off that and I think GT5p will have to impress me alot over and above the stunning looks to make me buy a console on the strength of it alone.

that's exactly how I feel, I've just taken the gamble and bought the console before trying.

One of the other things putting me off is the w**k PS3 pads. They would probably result in me having to put my hand in my pocket for a g25 and a gaming seat of some sort or another.... expensive prospect for one game, lol.

forza is good very good. But for the whole time i had it I wanted GT.

Went back to a ps3 and cant see me goin back. But i reckon GT has alot of catchin uo to do to match Forza online
 
just got in from work... bought GT5 before I left. £17.28 price match with Amazon :D

bloody PS3 controller has no power though, so will have to sit right up to the TV while its charging lol

is this a gt5 game update? if it is the ps3 update 2.20 i did that yesterday.
 
needs software Version 2.16 to play

I only had F1 Champ prior to GT5 so never needed to update my PS3 before now.

Yes a GT5P update to bring it upto Spec II revision, you've prob still got this to come fUbAr.

The game installs to the HDD, the disc is only needed as a security key to prove you bought it.

oh :( how big is the d/l for the update as i'm only on 512k... plus how much for the HD install?

you have to install the game when you first run the disk.

THEN

theres the latest game update.

ABS: You can turn it off instead of just down.

and some other things like cockpit view, with the paddle shifts the guys hands move etc etc. approx 400MB


HALF WAY then it failed

Cockpit view was already included, new online modes etc were added.

The install uses 2GB (possibly more) and I think the update is over 100mb.
 
  visualize whirled pe
No Porsche/RUF ?!! :eek:

No shortage of Jap crap though. As with every other version of GT.


Absofukinglutly, over half that list right there are Jap cars, which wouldn't be so bad, but like usual there are about 5 versions of each crumby car I couldn't give a rats arse about.
Who comes up with these lists, or worse who gives a damn if they can drive a skline GTRSTT Mines special 'ringracer' in ultrararetechnoblaupurple, ffs that's not an 'extra' car that's just b****cks!....

The one time I saw a Jap car on the GT4 list I wanted, it was like "Yesss it's a gen 1 celica but wait.... it's a ta22 saloon and not an ra28 fastback, so they've put the shite one in instead have they" (probably because one of the producers had one when he was a lad and wanted it in the game)

What happened to the decent euro cars? I'm sorry if this sounds negative but I'm less than enthustiastic about getting the chance to drive a mk4 golf woopdyfuking do ffs.
Maybe they should treat us to a reliant robin and just be done with even trying to impress us with their gigantic host of fantastical UK and US cars.

its taken 20 mins to install the game... are you saying there's a further 100Mb download to do after this?

fun.

Urghh, just got a email from play saying that they apologise that GT5 was recieved to their warehouse late and therefor missed the release date. I got the email saying it had been posted on Wednesday night so im guessing it will come Sat now, as compensation they have offered a £3 off voucher for GTA.
Anyone else had this?

Nothing worse getting excited about playing a game at the end of the week and it doesnt turn up, will be cool if it does come tomorrow though.

lol yeah i just got this too.

although an email was sent saying that it had been dispatched weds night guess they were hoping to despatch it sooner?
if it comes on saturday ill be ok about it, but if its next week thats just crap.
play used to deliver so quick back in the day they seem to get slower with their deliveries nowadays.

would of ordered from game but its slighlty more expensive there, plus they sent me wrong stuff before so didnt bother with them this time

Since we first learned of all the exciting new changes and content to the PAL and U.S. editions of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, there has been one dominant question on our forums: will the Japanese edition of the game be updated accordingly? It’s a legitimate question for many of the hard-core fans on GTPlanet, who imported the region free game back in January. Until now, Polyphony and Sony had remained mum on the subject, but today the official Japanese site posted the following news release:

“Gran Turismo 5 Prologue” will be undergoing a free online update to “Gran Turismo Prologue Spec II” at around noon on Friday, March 28.

The detailed content of the update will be announced on the day of the update, but there are some points of caution before performing the update. Please red before proceeding with the update.

(1) After updating, it will not be possible to replay the replay data created and saved before the update.

(2) Because the content of events will be renewed in the update, the event data before the update will be cleared, and those events will no longer be possible to play. (Acquired prize credits, cars in the garage, and clear information up to the A class will be carried over.)

(3) Even if an error occurs during the update, data downloaded up to the error is saved. Repeating the update will complete the download normally.

The update can be resumed as indicated below:

- Select News in My Page after starting the game
- Exit the game with the PS button, and restart the game.

* To update, you will need a Playstation 3 connected to the internet with a broadband connection, and “Gran Turismo 5 Prologue” (Either the Blu-ray disc version or downloaded version).

* All information listed in this website is for Japan. For information outside Japan, please refer to the website of your region.

While new vehicles are not explicitly mentioned, a “tuned car” is visible in the Spec II screenshot from their site (as seen in this post), so I believe it is a fairly safe assumption. Regardless, we won’t have to wait too much longer to find out…

on the very far right of the dealership screen on the UK version there is a secection of tuned cars to buy. eg evo, elise ans clio v6
 
so, is this update automatic as soon as you connect to the net?

i'm thinking i'll just leave my PS3 un-connected lol
 
PMSL

"The server is currently undergoing maintenance. Please try again later"

looks like Forza 2 all over again!
 
I went and bought a new PS2 for the last one!

Not bothering this time.
