GT5

[Bazz]

Does anyone play this game still? I re-purchased it on Friday and wondered if you guys do races?

 

[Russ_16v]

I do lol

 

[Al_G]

Just bought this. Is there an error on my disc or something. The engine sounds.......

Theyre all the same, and they sound like food blenders. This cant be right surely?

LOL just wondering if you're joking!?

 

[Bazz]

I do lol

I mean as a group lol

I just cant go on it anymore when i can do a race on F1 2012 instead. Much more action,a lot more strategy needed,more involved,weather changes etc. - thats what killed GT5 for me,the races were just so boring...

Having said that,i never got to the top level where you race the fastest cars - i might go back and try it,but im not sure i can be bothered to go through all the tedious races before..

Same reason I binned off Forza. A single race in F1 is worth multiple races in Forza.

My mates bringing forza around tomorrow with his wheel, I've never played it or F1. I'm a massive gt5 fan but I do find the AI for the other cars not brilliant. with the rolling starts it almost feels like a time trial. Like the pole car is at a set point and you have to get a average lap time of X and you'll win. the 2011 prototype redbull is a epic car thou,as it the formula polyphony cars.

I can see where you're coming from there. I like Forza 4, but I never get 'in the zone' (lol) like I did with GTR2, etc on the PC. I could literally have a 10 minute quick-race around Donington in a Porsche GT2 and probably didn't blink once, got clammy hands and dry throat - I was concentrating that much!

My nephew plays F1 2011 to death with all aids off. It's completely unforgiving and you get massively penalised for making a mistake. But the flipside of that is that the game is SO much more rewarding when you finish in the top three at that level of difficulty.

Started a little racing league with some friends from work. Trying to keep it very restricted. Max 305bhp, min 1200kg, 2.0L, No 4WD, No AIDS, basically very close to BTCC. We've got a little championship going and the higher you finish in the race the more ballast you have to put on for the second race of the event. Having loads of fun so far.

Here's a few vids of the highlights if anyone is interested. Also if anyone fancies racing with us just let me know and i'll invite you once we have finished this championship.

[iain187]

[couzens]

I've got back into this recently, doing the edurance bspec races atm

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Any news on GT6 yet? I'm guessing it'll be a launch title for PS4?

I wouldn't mind joining that. How often do you race?

You'll be luck, im sure theres something like 5-6 years between releases...

IDEA: i like the idea of b-spec, however i think it would be much more enjoyable if it was an actual team that you managed, not just 6 individual drivers (If youve played Racedriver GRID, youll know where im going with this)
If you could have your own team colours, own livery.. and as you race you get bigger sponsors the more you win ect, add their decals to your car, choose which sponsors you want.
Have a team colour for your racing suits ect...
i just think that would be much better than just watching some racer and control whether or not he gets a hard on or not..

We race maybe once a week when we are all available. We are thinking of making it a more permanent time. The more the merrier as long as it's clean racing (as clean as touring car can be) we try and get a few races in when we do play. When i've spoke to them all we will try and decide a day and time so more can join us. PM me your psn and i'll add you later.

[dunganick]

What spec cars do you guys race with. I might be up for a few races of this if i've got a decent car for it.

 

[Baggaley90]

We try to stick close to super 2000 rules. 2.0L, 305bhp, 1150kg, All aids bar ABS off. everything else goes. We are about to start a new championship up and we will also be running an NSX race car championship soon too. I will post up details on how to see full specs along with dates and times of the races soon.

Cheers, Jack

I could only watch a minute of that due to the horrible engine (Hoover) sounds. Is GT5 really that bad?

New replay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpzUWzT1D9Y

Is that GT5, or a preview for some new game?

The graphics look s**t, the cars look like the haven't been rendered properly, and the noises.......holy s**t they're bad!!

 

[Christopher]

That's GT5. You can tell by the Dyson engine effects and poorly rendered car in front at the start.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Wow ok.

So from now on I will simply laugh at anyone who says GT5 is the best driving sim.

 

[Goodj]

All the best racing sims are on PC.

[@Spoonie]

LOLOL - 01:15 of the video sounds like a 10 bees in a jam jar. Also love the tyre squeal on grass and the collision noise that sounds like someone dropping an old leather suitcase.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Gotta love GT5, beat racing 'sim' ever!

 

[Cliotoby]

have you edited the sounds? Surely they cant make a game sound that f**king s**t?

 

[Baggaley90]

No they really are that crap. I was thinking of dubbing forza's sounds over the top but not worth the effort.

 

[Geddes]

Had to start this all over again, got new PS3 now. Started it today Level 10 so far, 150k credit.
