GT5

[Brazo]

'original' tracks are dissapointing graphically, although the city tracks thankfully look as you'd hope and expect. Some interior views are a tad disspointing, although sun does pick out the detail when its on them. trying to find a standard car for comparison.

Why do they insist on having the x button as std to acelerate, nobdy uses a button ffs. Tyre squeal, yep its there lol!

online now working I think, just had to accept terms

 

[Goodj]

I'm more cheesed about them dropping Midfield raceway!

that was the king of tracks.

RE: Morris Marina. They couldn't get a license..... since they couldn't find who owns it... maybe Matchbox?

 

[quik97]

just tracked my parcel and its now at peterborough so near but so far. just deliver it to me god dam it.

 

[Brazo]

COte de zeur (sp, I know) is simply stunning and even the french light made my suzuki cervo interior look quite good. Can't comment on handling as quite frankly all i am getting is understeer.

ShopTo use Royal Fail too, play.com have ALWAYS been s**t with pre-orders

 

[D4N13L]

Im waiting for the toutube vids of the xbox fanboys destroying copies the same way the ps3 lads did to forza3!

 

[Jason_E]

Yeah Play.com are s**t with pre-orders. My brothers used them and it was dispatched SATURDAY. So yeah, it's still not here.

 

[Revels]

Play aren't in the UK. ShopTo are.

 

[Jason_E]

Yeah Jersey IIRC.

Off road stuff is dificult to pin down and auto gears are a complete no, no

Whats wrong with atuo gears? How is the handling with controller?

They seem to struggle in the dirt i.e always in the wrong gear, so if the engine revs are high enough it will change up even though your wheels may just be spinning for traction - if that makes sense!


Now on Madrid in a maclaren gallardo type thing, truly a thing of beauty! Got my oversteer too

that's autoboxes in general isnt it?

IN other matters, I've used Amazon Prime this last year and found it really good. 1st purchase with Zavvi though, with an order only a week bedore order and I get it today, not complaining at all, probably wont use them much more though, bit of an Amazonoholic

can you change accelerator to triggers?

 

[Brazo]

can you change accelerator to triggers?

Yes all buttons are fully mappable as with GT5P

 

[Goodj]

Yes all buttons are fully mappable as with GT5P

Is ther much point? they may be a bit analogue, but none of the buttons really give you much between pedal-off and full throttle

 

[Christopher]

My fingers kept slipping off the shoulder buttons when I used to play GT5P like that. I hate the PS3 pad, it's crying out for proper triggers.

 

[Brazo]

Yep but i think you'll get what I'm saying lol its like finger to the metal and nothings happening lol!

ah, so you've unlocked the Ford Escort Eclipse '89 then!

am rolling with the trigger extenders and whilst not as good as 360 pad, makes the std triggers much better!

 

[quik97]

what are these extenders you talk of?

 

[Christopher]

Where can I get them from?

Link mate?

 

[Goodj]

Nasty plastic just kicked in!

[Jason_E]

Surely they block you from putting the hammer all the way down?

 

[Brazo]

I think the 6 years have gone into modeeling the dimples and wrinkles on the leather of the f40 steering wheel...

 

[The Boosh!]

If I walk into game now can I buy it?

 

[Brazo]

Those are the extenders, can be bought instore in any GAME shop. £3 iirc, and no they don't block you, just stop your finger from slipping off and give you more travel, or at least more perceived travel.

 

[Christopher]

I'll give them a look if I buy GT5.

LOL @ Game re-designing Sony's pad. Priceless.

 

[Jason_E]

I've seen them in Game before, wayyy back in the early days of the PS3. Also made me lol Chris!

 

[ro55o]

If I walk into game now can I buy it?

It's officially released tomorrow, I think anyway. Just the pre orders being sent out today.

 

[oska]

I got those triggers free ages ago with a mag. Think I still have them somewhere, totally forgot!

 

[Brazo]

Nurburg ring GP track and Monza are all pretty stunning as are the premium cars, just need to find a std car now to try one out but none in arcade section Perhaps the last update removed them lol!

Quite a few cs'ers playing this now, so will look forward to some handling comments later, as i'm hardly a racing guru to comment, despite my 1.18 around canada in F1

 

[Christopher]

Oooh Monza! Didn't know about that!

Grand Valley still on there?

 

[oska]

Lol, getting interested again?

 

[Brazo]

grand valley speedway - check

 

[Goodj]

Grand valley is still there in National and GT specs.
Just no Midfield! Unforgivable! Especially since they plugged that Swiss Alps track in there and High Speed Ring!

Seriously, high speed ring? Why!?

 

[Christopher]

Lol, getting interested again?

Until I've played it, I dunno.

If it plays like ANYTHING like Prologue I'd rather burn the money. They've really pissed me off. lol

grand valley speedway - check

All good!
