[MAD828]

I got the collectors edition and can't wait to go home and smash GT5 all night!

[s2kadrenalin]

Had a quick 5 minute play before in Arcade mode.

Hasn't grabbed me as anything awesome yet.

[MAD828]

Me neither, I got an EK9 and it's pretty slow and boring.

[mjb120]

:D

pretty hopeless at the moment but hopefully i get used to it soon :)

Took only 15min for me to install it with my SSD drive!

I only got to do the B Lic, and brought the EK Civic, got golds and silvers, almost got gold doing the B-8 test with the s2000!

One thing I recommend doing is when you pause the game when ingame, go to options and take off traction control and any other assists, leave abs on 1 after doing this it just opened up my game experience much easier to get gold, also if you have a wheel set it on Professional.

One more thing in the menu options you can intall more gamedata to improve loading times id recommend doing that also.

Game is going good still early days for me, graphics are awesome, I can see myself spending many hours on this game...so much to do im overwhelmed! gameplay is what you expect from GT5 im happy with it so far..im sure it will keep getting better and better as I progress.

Are you thinking of buying it Vuey?

Probably the revised driving engine with the crash modelling, and the time spent to model all of the new cars. Apparently, it is no trivial task with the amount of data they (Polyphony Digital) try to capture with each car.

So far so good, although I only got to play for about half an hour last night.

my cousin has a spare PS3 he will sell me for cheap.

But not sure if i will have time to play it, as i hardly use the Xbox 360 .

Plus , will need the full cockpit set up to get the full experience of this game. Havent got the spare $$$ , as i just forked out some $$$ for some Air Jordans ;)

too bad the crash modelling is hopeless though.

although a few think that's because the manufacturers intervened because they weren't happy with letting gamers beat the crap out of their cars in-game.

See that's what I thought they would do, but from what I can see and from what I have read, the non premium cars are just GT4 models. The driving model is improved yes, particularly under braking, but given the shortcomings with the shading on cars and the frame drops on tracks like London I would of expected it to be a bit more polished given the lead time.

In my eyes thought they are small niggles, as I only care about the driving experience, but I have a launch PS3 and I bought it expecting i to come out not that long after :banghead: and for waiting this long I was expecting something that bit more polished.

[STAIN]

Im sure the game will see future updates, dont dwell on it just yet guys.

Few more things, we can sell eachother cars or give eachother cupons and things like that I think this side of the game opens up a whole other dimension...also visit the used dealership reguarly to pick up cars as they come and go!

Yeh, I've definitely seen that some of the cars aren't very detailed. The driving feel is still fantastic though.

My biggest gripe is that they've still removed (or have not re-instated) some of the functionality that made Gran Turismo so appealing in the first place - being able to modify any car to any extent. In the current version, you can't even add aftermarket wheels to most cars (it appears to be non-race cars that aren't allowed). I used to find it hilarious modifying a car with all the mods, whacking on a massive racing bodykit, making it much faster than it ever deserved to be, and just seeing how fast it could go. Now in GT5, it seems that you can no longer buy aftermarket brakes either?!

Nonetheless, it's still as fun as ever.
