GT5 Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

[MrMystic]

I guess that every PS owner had played one of the Gran Turismo games before...

To me personally, I got in touch with the GT series on the good old PS1 with Gran Turismo 2. I've played litteraly for over hundreds of hours of the game and I couldn't get enough ! After that, I got myself a PS2, together with GT3... There I've also spend many many hours. But never got to the full 100% (not in any GT game). It's just a very fun game to play.
After GT3 there was long time no GT for me, but then GT4 came !!! Man was that a game ... Graphics are really good (for PS2 standards).

Lately I've got myself a PS3 and I've immediatly downloaded the GT5 demo on the PlayStation Network ! and I couldn't believe my eyes !! Soo good looking :laughing: I'm currently somwhet of 30th on a ranking of the Mitsubishi Lancer Time Trial, so I'm happy with that :happy:

Only downside on the GT series is that there is no damage :frustrating: But if everything goes well, the full version GT5 will have a damage model for each car !!! So I can't wait !

 

[MrMystic]

Yeah me too now Sorry for the confusion ...

Well the feeling of the cars has been improved over the last version. And the cockpit view is simply amazing !!

 

[Ben Buitendijk]

I'm now in S class. I need to do 3 events, but they are damn hard if you are playing with the controller. I really need to find some space in the livingroom and install my G25 for an afthernoon....

4WD cars are quite drivable without TC and on professional mode, but beasts like Ferrari 430, Ford GT or Elise 111R /tuned are incredibly hard, and I must drive them with TC and ABS with physics on standard mode.... :eek:

 

[Peter Eriksson]

Well, even the corvette is hard to master, even with a wheel, and one dissapointment in this game is onlineracing, the slipstreaming is to good and everybody is driving like its demolitionderby out there, i just hope damage and longer races will come on later, but still i havent finished the A-class so maybe when allowed to race in the tuning level maybe the races will be longer, anybody know?

 

[SniperZA]

Yeah, expert races are 5 laps - still too short imo - also the expert races still use standard physics - hopefully there are some professional physics servers, I've just missed them.

I really like the P.P system - being about to beef up a car like a Focus or detune an F430 is very cool - I've already had lots of close races on Expert servers against wildly different cars

Bahh, just cant help it, i really dont like the feeling in the game, cant feel were the grip are or is it something funny with my ff, sometimes beeing on the curbs there is no whatsoever ff in the wheel. And its anoying that the steering degree cant be adjusted, its hard to turn the wheel 2 laps, but maybe the game isent made for G25.

 

[Ben Buitendijk]

If you've beaten the A-class, you can adjust the steering lock.

 

[Peter Eriksson]

I know but not so much, standard is 40 and max is 50 so the diffrens wasent big enough, but enough complaining from me, its a beautiful game espcially when drifting around in the replays

 

[Darron Miller]

this is very good with a wheel but i suck at using the pad........no where to set wheel up doh

be good when they patch it for us to host private servers

 

[MrMystic]

Indeed, that is something I'm missing also, the pricate servers...

 

[MrMystic]

Update: We all knew (or didn't we) that Polyphony has an agreement with BBC's TopGear TV show. This brings ideas up for the GT TV option in the new Gran Turismo-games. Well, the first episode of the new 6th season is nog available on the (Japanese) GT TV Channel.

It won't be long before the European/American versions will follow.

[MrMystic]

Ohh this is sooo funny I'm currently driving the Pro events online, and on Daytona it's so wonderful I'm driving a Ferrari F430, and I always win ... Mwuahahaha... Sometimes they even try to ram me of the road into the grass right before the finish, but still I win! I'm so happy when they ram someone of, to win, and they don't ...

Find it yesterday, i will give it a try, very very veryyyy nice prices, must find some energy to lift in the playseat to the livingroom though, becouse driving with the siaxis controller put me 6 hole secs after the Swedish record
