GT5

[chris79]

Anyone else looking forward to the release of GT5 prologue at the end of this month?? 16 player online multiplayer, full 1080p 60fps HD ... I'm buying a PS3 just to play this - looks AWESOME!

Question: Should I get a 40gb or a 60gb ps3, and why are people paying a fortune for the 60gb ones?? I know that only the 60's are backward compatible with older PS2/1 games etc, but why spend the extra when PS2s are being sold for <£50 now??????????

 

[Christopher]

already got it!

 

[chris79]

What's the multiplayer like then, have you tried it?

I was gonna get the JAP version too, but have waited for the UK release.

 

[Paul_P1]

Does the Logitech Driving Force Pro(the 900degree wheel) work with the PS3/GT5?

ive waited for the uk release so im looking forward to it.

60gb ps3 also come with 4 usb ports aswell. not that i use more than 1 anyway.

Probably not much of an issue now between the 2 now. I used to play ps2 games all the time when i got mine as there were no games hardly for the ps3. I dont play ps2 games hardly any more now though as more games have been released.
Nice to know that the 60gb is rarer now though

Today I used 3 usb ports simultaneosly.. !!

#1 Charging PS3 pad 1
#2 Charging PS3 pad 2
#3 Charging my Jabra Bluetooth headset



The 60GB also comes with the memory card reader.

add to that my xbox360 webcam and my 500gb WD drive and I am filling my USB's up!

GT5 is great, not sure that the DFP is 900 degree, i have the G25 which is 900 degree and they all work with ti, the G25 is a must have though to experience it properly.

I am glad I got the jap one too as i'll be spending most of my march and beginning of april on R6V2 and then the rest of the year on GTA4 and MGS which is due out the month after, busy year for us PS3 owners!!!!!

 

[sneeks]

Been playing this since Dec 2007 and love it. I also use the G25 wheel which makes for an awesome combination.

My WD 500gb Studio hdd arrived this morning and is currently restoring my data onto my PS3 after removing the Linux partition which I no longer had use for.

I'll be buying the UK release of GT5P as it is meant to have more features and cars than the Japanese version.

 

[Mikey]

is GT5 gonna be the last one?

 

[Ibanezman]

What's this like online then, re. bumper cars on every corner type action. Is there something in the game to stop people ruining it ?

 

[Brazo]

Already on the hard disc!

Extra features for UK 'GT 5 Prologue'

Sony has confirmed the European release of the eagerly-awaited prequel to its forthcoming Gran Turismo 5 will contain exclusive additional features.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which has been designed as a taster ahead of the full game, is the first title in the series to offer online racing for up to 17 players simultaneously.

The game, which promises a new physics engine, 71 high performance cars to choose from and a new Gran Turismo channel featuring a range of programs, will now also come with a number of exclusives destined for the European release.

Top of the European exclusives is a new Drift Mode, which bases a player's success on how well they alter their drift angles and speeds within evaluation zones located at various turns during a course.

It will also boast a two-player split-screen racing mode, new online race events and advanced car-tuning, allowing the player to adjust power, tyres, suspension and more.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be released on Blu-ray disc for the PS3 on March 26 and as a download from the PlayStation Network on March 27.

Sony has also confirmed it will be releasing a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue PS3 bundle on March 26, featuring a copy of the game, a 40Gb PS3 console and one Sixaxis controller for £299.99.

Wait for the pal realise! no tuning on jap. Ive got it. Well i did but got rid when i heard the english ones coming!

 

[Eryl182]

On Pre-order now!!!

Will the EU versions be able to play against you Jap version guys online tho?

 

[seb]

what will prologue be like compared to the real gt5? what are the main differences?

i just pre-ordered it today.

 

[Eryl182]

I thought Prologue was a taster to the real game.

Kinda a mini GT5?

 

[sneeks]

Yeah it's exactly that, a mini GT5. The final game will have more cars & tracks and no doubt additional game modes.

 

[Mikey]

is this out on 360? apparently its gonna be the last GT.

 

[McBunny]

the chances of that are so so so so so slim its untrue

 

[sneeks]

I've not been online much over the past 7 days as I had a week off work but I as happy to see the F2007 is included in GT5P

[Leeds_VTO]

MMM F1 cars, could be a good move on sonys part, im looking more forward to the F40 though.

 

[Ja5on]

defo gona get the uk version!!!

 

[crazycup]

can't wait for it like! i've got driving force pro wheel which had 900 degree rotation on the ps2 so i'm assuming its gonna be the same on the ps3

 

[sneeks]

The G25 wheel is so I'd imagine your wheel will support that too.

 

[sneeks]

I can't wait to get this

i'm still buying the UK release tbh.... my NTSC copy was only £20.. so no big loss!

 

[sneeks]

Same here I think the Japanese version will be patched with the new cars but I'd rather buy the UK release too.

tbh, the japanese stuff is starting to do my head in, its so bloody complicated to navigate and you never know whether you are choosing a car in your garage or selling it!!!

Haven't you got the F1 game though for driving a ferrari, surely thats going to be a better f1 experience than gt5 with an f1 car?

 

[sneeks]

I think GT5 will offer a more sim like F1 car in comparison to F1 CE. Looking at the screenshots the visuals are excellent so I'm definitely looking forward to playing with the F1 car despite owning F1CE.

i've ordered the UK version, fair enough I had to pay for the jap one, but you feel like ur getting half the experience cos you cant read any of it hahaha

 

[seb]

what is the premise of this prologue? i remember the prologue for gt3 on ps2 was just doing some tests iirc?

will i earn money in prologue and buy cars and tune them etc? a mini gt4 if you like?

on pre-order anyway. lol

i think this is the last time i order a jap game tbh, it was fun but so frustrating at the same time, so i think i will invest in the english version too at £18

same, it was just the sherr WANT to play a GT on ps3 for use all lol

 

[Brazo]

I won't rush to order this as I already have the jap version but as people have said it gets a bit tiresome with the translations etc!

But i do want the f1 car!

Yeah that about sums it up. Race through the various class of cars and earn credits to buy new cars. The UK release has more tuning options available than the Japanese version.

Just wonder if your cars are gona carry over from GT5P to GT5
