I read today on the gamespot website that there is a big chance that GTA 4 may be delayed.

Just wondering what cars people have bought in GT5 to win or get a place in the 'S' class P.P700 class Tuning races 3 and 4.
My best is about 6 or 7th with the Tuned Corvette. Might have to try the Ford GT LM specII Test Car.

Well i tried them again and got 3rd in both races with the tuned vette.
Saved enough and got the F40 now.
Man that sounds awesome.
All to do now is the 1 lap dash around suzuka in the f40 and pass as many cars as possible. Damn hard tho. Done it about 6 times and best is 6th.
Fun Fun Fun.

Yeah i got that. Its no good in the 700 tuned tho.
Unless i cant drive it properly.
Has anyone come across a way to get quick money.
Im sick of doing the corvette or ferrari dealership event and getting 20000 or 25000.
That way it will take quite a while to get the 2 million for the ferrari f1.

Turn the traction control either off or very low, makes it a little easier to drive as its best when its sliding a little.

Well the Worked Lotus Elise 111r is a fun little giant killing car.
Thanks for the tip.
Finished all the events and now its time to save the 2 million. (zzzzzzzzzzzz)
I was kinda disappointed not to receive a free car after i cleared all the dealership events.
Oh well.
Im not sure if its worth trying to get all gold in everything (i need 4 more) because i doubt u will receive anything for that.
I only just hooked up the HDMI cable, but the game seems soooo much better. Even sound wise.

Once GTA4 arrives i wont touch GT5 until the full version is released.
Has anyone seen the multiplayer features on GTA4. Makes the game even more awesome.

They need damage like V8 supercars. It would make the races harder to win.

Turn all the traction and stability stuff off firstly, then when the game starts count to 5 then go. The reason for doing this is that it places the cars you need to draft better on the track, if you havent got the time with 1.40 left on the clock then it aint going to happen.

As for the F40 drama,cheat!!!!!!! On the opening lap go through turn 1 and as you exit turn 2 dont stay on the track cut across the grass to turn 4, yes you get a short cut penalty but if you can get there with enough speed you jump to position 6 and much much closer to the front allowing you to get P1.

Has anyone had problems updating GT5 Prologue online? I took my system to my brothers place yesterday (no broadband at home right now) and the update would start and then fail. Sometimes it got further through than others. The updates for GTA4 and Call of Duty went through fine. The system update went through fine as well.

I thought it might have been connection speed. Anybody else had issues?

I had the demo on my system for the last few weeks and loved it that much i have ordered the full version and am just waiting on the post form Hong Kong to arrive.
The demo only had 3 types of racing, Touring Cars, American Muscle Cars and Drifting but i believe the full version has a lot more including open wheelers.
I prefer to play online as the opposition is more life like and make mistakes etc.
But you also get the odd knob who is just on there to cause as many crashes as he can.
My top 3 games are Dirt/Colin McCrae, Grid and GT5 in no particular order.

Finally managed to download GRID (demo version) and must say it is pretty cool. Only had a quick go of it and the cockpit view is pretty good, although I find it hard to race from that view.
The graphics are excellent and although it's no Gran Turismo it is great to get out in some different cars and race around and the damage is impressive as well. The replay/time machine is cool for practicing too.
Will play the demo some more before deciding to buy it or not.

Coming back to GT5 Prologue for a second....

I don't have this game because I will not buy a PS3 until they make the new ones backwards compatible. The 60Gb had this functionality, but when Sony withdrew them and released the 40Gb the PS2 chip in it was removed so that PS1 and PS2 games cannot be played on the PS3. I am waiting until Sony rectify this madness before giving them my hard earned dosh. In the meantime, GT4 is copping an absolute flogging.....

To GT5 Prologue -
What are people identifying as their favourite cars? What does the R35 GT-R drive like?
Any new tracks?

sphinx84
27-06-2008, 02:41 PM
Andrew, you will be waiting a very long time. Sony gave the option and people wanted a pricedrop rather than backwards compatability. Sound like you will have to find one on ebay

Andrew
27-06-2008, 03:54 PM
A bloke from Harvey Norman (so it's likely to be true then.... ;)) was reckoning by the end of the year Sony will have ensured backward compatibility to their PS3 consoles then on sale. That remains to be seen. I heard that with the price drop it allowed someone to buy both a PS3 and a PS2 for the same price at the backwards compatible 60Gb PS3 originally on sale, so that if people wanted both functionalty they could buy both for the same price as one. I don't know if that is true or not (well the prices match) but I for one don't want to have several consoles to play my games when one can do it all. That was the good thing about the PS2 - your PSOne games were no longer redundant with your new console.

lukey73
27-06-2008, 07:00 PM
Andrew i too was like you, but why would you play games that arent going to be any where near as good on a PS3 as they were designed for a PS2.

The 2 systems are worlds apart and you would be better off trading in your PS2 games and all to move up to a PS3, i know you wont have as many games but the ones you have will so much better.

Andrew
27-06-2008, 07:55 PM
I take your point, but there are some games from both the PSOne and PS2 that are keepers. I still adore Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, Gran Turismo 4, Colin McRae Rally 1 & 2 (PSOne), get a blast from Shane Warne Cricket, the WRC series of games for the PS2 (well, WRC 4 and WRC: Rally Evolved), so I am kinda stuck with having a PS2. And as Sony have already made a PS3 with backwards compatibility, for them to halt that now annoys me.

the_goldie
27-06-2008, 08:08 PM
Andrew, seriously just keep the ps2 hooked up and get a ps3 the games are amazing especially on a high def tv.

Complete A,B, and C series and it unlocks another which has more races. 680 and 700 are the performance points ratings for the races. Clear the first three and it'll clear it all up for you.

Don't forget the manufacturer races as well.

I think it would be better having some of the classic Australian muscle cars like the Phase III, Charger, XU-1 to match against the Shelby Mustangs, 'Cudas, Camaros etc.

I'm sure there are plenty of leaked and supposed GT5 car lists on PS3 forums.

If your PS3 is conntected to the internet the game will ask to be updated automatically when you start up. There's nothing special for you to do other than click 'OK'. Current update takes it to Spec III.

New cars are the Ferrari California, Lotus Evora, and GT by Citroen concept car. Interesting to see on the menu background movie the three cars are rolled out of three transporters. There's a 4th transporter there which does not open. My bet is a Pescarolo LMP1 car going by the colours. Might be available on the next update.

Anyone got Gold in the BMW M3 around Eiger Nordwand time trial? It's the only event I haven't got gold in for the entire game. Need to work on it a bit more I think.

Having completed all GT's so far i am keenly interested in getting GT5 when prices become more friendly. Got the logitech with the leather wheel,stainless pedals,6speed gated shifter,clutch pedal and having had the last two wheels from logitech must say i am more than impressed with the latest spec its got no play thru wheel at all, it is geared super smooth and quiet and the pedals are built like a brick s**t house absolutely bullet proof and no issues with sticky brake pedals caused by the somewhat dodgy sensor and wiring as on the last wheel which i used to have to pull apart every few weeks to align the position sensor and wiring in the clumsy holder they have used. The wheel they brought out for GT3or4 is sweet but pedals inevatably break long b4 the wheel hence i still have as new in box wheel an busted pedals, did little search 4 parts or replacement pedal box but no luck. With the cost and reliability issues i had i thought would be best to get the latest available,hit the guys up 4 discount i did and got 4 nearly100buks off.

Rich that is my next challenge, its the only track i dont have the top cup on.

For some reason i have trouble getting the second hairpin just right as i either bog the car down or hang the back end out to far which slows me down and on the wrong line for the next turn.

Richard Poole
21-10-2008, 08:13 PM
I managed to pick up the gold shortly after making that post. Have gold in every race now including the manufacturers championships.

I love the game. Just hope when the full game comes out you can create your own races and invite friends to race against rather than the current method.

I'm currently 5th fastest in the world in time trial around the Fuji GT track (without the chicane where Massa nailed Hamilton) in the Audi R8. Not a particularly great time but still in 5th is ok. May have been knocked back a bit by now though. I guess it's just not a popular track/car combo. Give it a go everyone see how you go.

Has anyone won the F40 one lap race at Suzuka in the S class races? You've gotta be a bit forceful but it's not that hard to do. Winning is 50k, second is 48K. about 2 mins work can earn the bucks very easily.

Also, I'd recommend not buying the F2007 until after you have won all of the races. Much nicer cars to buy that are actually useful in races. Try the Tuned Corvette to win the 750pp races in S class. Easiest to win that I have found.

02-11-2008, 05:05 PM
Now I have GT5 Prologue I can join this discussion.

Some observations:

Firstly, I struggled badly with anything 2WD when I had the handling set to "Professional" (the Corvette was a pig) but as soon as I turned it to "Standard" the game is so much easier I could laugh in comparison. Does anyone else find this? Races I couldn't get even close to winning with "Professional" handling on are now knocked over pretty quickly with "Standard."

The R35 is an absolute rock solid weapon. The only disappointment is the sound of it - it is muted and very aurally unexciting. I am slowly building up my credits but have a very small garage at present - the only Ferrari I have is the F430. Does anyone have any cars they recommend for any reason - and why?

What views do people drive with? I use the bonnet view as I can place the car so much better, but I do like the in-car view.

And the replayes are disappointing. The driving seems to be 60fps while the replays are only 30fps. I think the replays in GT4 were as good or even better. Admittedly this is only a Prologue game but still.....

HQGTS74
02-11-2008, 05:12 PM
Hi mate, firstly i use the in-car view and usuallly use the standard mode. Professional is just too hard:D Here are some of my favourite cars:
1. Ferrari 599 GTB - Just love it, its fast, handles well and sounds awesome!!!
2. Amuse S2000 GT1 - Fast, handles well and looks nice
3. Corvette Z06 - Love the sound, good if you want to go sideways and its VERY FAST!
4. Ford GT - Very fast and sounds great!, not the best handling though
5. Blitz Skyline R34 - Love the sound and good for fun!
6. Dodge Viper GTS - Goes hard and just love the look of it

There are many more but they're just some of my favs.

Thanks Chris. I only have the Corvette Z06 of that list. It is bloody fast but in professional mode it is ridiculous trying to keep it on the track with traction control off.

firemansam
02-11-2008, 08:21 PM
I never drive with the traction control on. I also must be in the minority as I could hardly tell the difference between professional and standard. I didn't invest too much time trying to find the differences out, maybe if I go back and try for awhile I may find it harder. My favourite car is the Cappucino......okay only kidding its the Ford GT at the moment but I've only been buying cars that are essential to passing events so haven't tried much really. I use the view where you see just the road and nothing else, the interior view is ok but the rest are useless for me. Is everyone using wheels or controllers? I've only tried a controller once but I reckon it would be an awful lot harder to pass everything with the controller

HQGTS74

Finally earned the 2 million credits to buy the F2007 Ferrari F1 car. Not a bad piece of kit either. I assume if you download a patch the steering wheel display will appear?

I was surprised however with the 'sluggish' initial turn in on the F2207. I expected instant turn in but it is a bit slow before building and handling on rails. Or is that just me?

Whoops, I meant F2007. Damn typos....

What I didn't like was that if you were at 1,999,999 credits and even if you won a 35,000 credit race, it will not let you earn more than smack bang on 2,000,000 credits. So you buy the F2007 and it wipes you out completely. That's frustrating.

Great game, easy to get hooked on it, especially with the steering wheel. Upto Class B races with only about 3 left to go. I have tried so many times to update online but it always fails... Getting rather annoying.

I use the in-car view or use the view with just the speedo/tacho. Do you open more tracks as you win more or is that it?

Finally managed to get the new update, so far the only thing I have noticed is the home page changes, with the date, clock, temps etc... Also like how you can now change your car when doing an event if you have the wrong car selected - much nicer.

Upto class A events now :)

I have done all the races and won everything with the exception of needing Gold on the BMW M3 challenge, the Ford GT challenge and the Lancer Evolution challenge. With those I have a mixture of silver and bronze.

There is no invite system you have to all try at the same time and hope for the best. Chances are you'd be likely to run into someone from here eventually. Gotta wait for the full game for some decent online. I use a wheel and I'm still hopeless :)

Andrew is a bit of a GT5 tragic. Is trying hard to get me to be interested in it, but I find it very antiquated in the dynamics. The rendering looks good.

The three things he can not complete, I was getting within about 1 second slower than him after only 10 minutes playing it. Need to get him on Burnout Paradise on the bikes.

Gran Turismo games are great but if there is one flaw with GT5P it's that the cars have alot of understeer and don't like to turn in very much.

that is lag. its caused by you having a slow-ish connection, or someone in your game having it. there are various ways to fix it, if you wanna know PM me :)

and yes its stupid having no lobby/invite, but it is Prologue. it would be CRIMINAL if they didnt have it in the full game.

Gran Turismo is always late, i bought a japanese version of Gran Turismo 2 before it was released here, regrettably lol,

im not overly worried, i have too many games to finish before GT5 lands anyway, bet it'll take years to finish :D

23-02-2009, 02:12 PM
I think because gran turismo is made in Japan, then has to send to Sony Europe for translation and stuff.

skaifeyfan2
23-02-2009, 07:17 PM
me saying itll take years to finish i meant the game itself will take ages to complete, not them taking years to finish making it, if that clears it up ;)

but yeah, the Localisation process does take a while to do, although less in GT than in a RPG for example, which is full of dialogue etc

I'm a member on a gran turismo forum and a member who lets say has in the past been "in the know" has said that there is some big news due by e3 this year. He was very vague though as he is restricted by an NDA.

I am intrigued. Big news could be the announcement of the release date of the game right through to the signing of Porsche and Lamborghini as manusfacturers or even that damage has been added.

No hints at all?????

BTW, now I have a plasma TV, can I just say that Prologue in HD is awesome. I couldn't believe the change it made to an already very sharp game. Now I could see and read the "Race" icon in the tacho of the Ferrari F430 clearly. Unbelievable. I just need more tracks and more real cars (I don't like the 'GT by Citroen' concept either).

No new news. I think E3 is in June so not too long a wait to find out what exactly the news is. Also he specifically said that the news would be announced at an expo/conference by E3 the latest and I know there are at least 2-3 between now and E3 so maybe an announcement will come sooner.

I think the game will be out this year. Damage was meant to come out late last year as an update to prologue but it never came. Also the Spec 3 update was meant to be the beginning and we are yet to see any updates since. So I think Polyphony just decided that the game will be out sooner than expected so not bother to update prologue further.

Running out of things to do on GT5 Prologue:D I've won Gold for everything now and bought all the cars, so i've been competing with myself in Drifting in the Arcade series:D.

Does anyone know if there is a reliable "car list" going around with all the cars that will be in the full version of GT5?

I've seen a wish list, which has on it every Holden ever made! I wish!:rolleyes:

I Dunno, but wouldn't you like to be surprised when you play the game? ;) Before GT4 came out i read a list that had a VY V8 supercar, 427 Monaro and HSV's. I was full cheering, but when i got the game all Holden had was a VY SS and the Monaro.

Andrew
07-06-2009, 02:55 PM
I have all gold now as well (but not all cars) and have run out of things to do. The online racing is terrible because you get punted off, and I wish there was a way to have smooth rival cars rather than the jagging about. And I can't compete with Richard and others on here for Biante time trials because those guys are MEGA fast!!!!!!!

The Ferrari Enzo is in the GT5, but really, everything else is going to be pure speculation.

Re the Nascar licence - anyone fancy playing as Ambrose?
