GT5

[Ja5on]

Have just looked on ebay and they are going for around £130 is that about right for the wheel, pedals and gear shift. With regards to a budget can you really put a price on the pleasure boys get from there toys :rasp: dreading it when he turns 17 and he wants a car

well said!!!! hahaha

 

[Justin]

yeah seems about right, amazon have them aswell.. search youtube for g25 and you'll see how good it looks!

Want to adopt a 29 year old? I'm no trouble, lol

G25 in use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqTR07nSdFg PC game but gives you an idea.

To be honest I dont know what all the fuss is about! when theres 16 cars on screen the game stutters like an old gent with no teeth in! The ps3 is not the power house it makes out to be! Sony hype. Ive got all three next gen machines so im not biased.

 

[Madstaffyblonde]

sorry no adoptions he has already got his eye on my 182 and his dads gt tdi.
As for the steering wheel i think the g25 will be the best for him has he has just had a x-blade gaming computer built so he can use it with that aswell.

Hope it's not true! I have the PS3 and the 360 and tbh with my limited exposure to the PS3 I agree with him. I've not had it on since I got it, just waiting for GT5.

 

[sneeks]

Only true with poorly ported 360 games. If developers opt to put effort into a PS3 game it's every bit as good. As for the GT5 comments they are best ignored, simply feeding time in trollville.

 

[sneeks]

I forgot to say, GT5 wheel is the best choice.

i have noticed a stutter every so often, but i was putting that down to the fact its all coming off the HD instead of cd and HD mix and the fact when it happened 4 cars had gone off onto the dirty. or my just talks baws

 

[Brazo]

Only 200,000,000 for the F1 cat then = Jap GT5P owners look closely

There is already a patch available got GT5P which will change the game title to GT5P Spec II. For the first time in a GT game ABS can be removed completely from the cars if desired rather than simply tamed down. Wheel lock up fun to be had Several other updates too.

that'll be getting tried out for def!!!! cany wait!!!!

weather is somit i've read is gona be included, as in you can choose rain and dry which is somit that has been missed.

 

[Lee]

Well I wasn't going to bother, but as usual with GT games I can't help myself.

I played 4 to death so hope I get as much enjoyment out of 5 once it's out, and at least get a taste out of how it's going to play from Prologue. I just need to get my wheel and pedals back off a mate!

As for the old comment about developers needing to try harder to get the best out of the PS3, it's more a case of Sony needing to do more to get the most out of the developers! MS make life a dam sight easier for us. We did have a guy from our LA studio over for two weeks doing nothing but optimising code on the PS3 though.

 

[Tom]

This is a make or break game really.

Odd that its a demo that makes me decide to spend £300 or not..

same, is it out today? or friday?

[Tom]

Yeah £289 isnt bad, seen better deals.

They're obviously trying to put a few quid back in the pot as it's taking them forever to finish the full product.

They've screwed us (the fans) a few times already. GT 2002 Concept Tokyo Motorshow Edition and GT4 Prologue were both pointless, but of course I have them both.

Dam it, now the memories of playing GT4 for hours on end have really set in. I fear this may be the game to ruin my life again. lol

 

[Tom]

Im really not a game person, i have the wii but thats not a normal console.
Annoying thing is i will only use the PS3 for GT. other than that its gathering dust.

Maybe blue ray, but then i need another tv so thats £2000 down the tube.

 

[Ja5on]

on gtplanet they've said GT5 is defo 2009.

But with all the stuff thats on GT5P you'll be playing it for agea and ages and ages.

There has been rumours that GT5P will turn into the full GT5 over the next year with loads of updates. Cant see it myself.

 

[Gareth]

Yeah £289 isnt bad, seen better deals.

any more info on better deals Tom? I'm also thinking of buying a PS3 just for GT5/GT5P

 

[Tom]

Currys/PC World £299 deal is good value.

Obviously you need to buy GT5 on top but thats only £18

 

[sneeks]

Argos are charging £269 for the PS3 console, add the cost of GT5P and it's the same as Amazon but bought locally.

I recently got my PS3 and tbh i'm not really impressed by it.. wishing i went for the 360 now!!

Hopefully this GT5 changes my mind.. so far only good game i've bought is Tony Hawks and thats getting boring.

They don't have stock for release day though.

Andy, I've hardly touched mine. I've only got it for Bluray and GT5 to be honest. My 360 is on all the time.

 

[Ja5on]

copy ready for dispatch!!!

 

[sneeks]

It'll be good if my existing save game for the Japanese version works on the UK release.

http://www.gran-turismo.com/en/gt5p/news/d1985.html

“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.

 

[Ja5on]

The Japanese version will recieve an update on Friday at noon to bring it upto Spec II and match the UK version.

lol think i'll stick with the UK one then at least i can read it lol

 

[sneeks]

I hope the Japanese version update will not allow selection of English language menus, if so my UK copy is a waste of money.

 

[Gareth]

I'm hoping to be able to get a copy in town at the weekend, anyone fancy my chances?

i'm gonna try do the same! **fingers crossed**

 

[Gareth]

^ I've just ordered it for £19.99 from the Game website as its saying nothing about being out of stock and says it will deliver on release day, so fingers crossed.

 

[seb]

Your Order Is On Its Way! Or so says the email from game!

 

[Lee]

Sweet, I've just checked and mine will be here for Friday also. I only placed the order this morning.

I just hope I can find time at the weekend to play it. I'm sure I'll be hungover most of Saturday, but I really need to wash the car before Sundays meet!
