I just picked up my copy at lunch time but I still got to wait till I get home before I get a chance to play…..

For those of you that have been living in a cave and don’t know what TT is, it’s basically GT4 with motorbikes. You get almost all the same tracks (yes that includes Nurburgring) and approximately 180 sports bikes to choose from. Plus you get to customize them with sports exhausts and etc… just like in the GT series.

Anyone else played it? Thoughts? I’ll give my first impressions of it tomorrow…. And if there is enough of us here that get it, we could probably run similar time challenges as with GT4….

Well, I’ve had about a bit over an hour to play it so far and I’m pretty impressed. Far more difficult than GT4. Same graphics which are fantastic, the bikes range from scooters to racers, race bikes and even a tourer or two. All the GT4 tracks are there (apart from Le Mans) and even a new circuit which is Valencia.

My first foray in TT was with a nice Ducati 999 at Nurburgring. As expected, it ended in tears just after turn one. The entire screen leans into corners as I quickly found out that you don’t control the bike, but more so the rider. Also you can set up your sitting position on the bikes with a lot of precision. If you want to ride a dirt bike, you can even pick a motard sitting position, and get that leg out on the turns.

As I mentioned before, falling is really easy (mind you I did have it on professional settings), and I soon had the highside down packed pretty well.

For someone who has ridden his fair share of bikes, I actually found it far more difficult to control the bike in game than I ever have in real life…. Maybe I’m just more cautious in real life though….

Anyway here are a few ingame shots I quickly took when I was playing… looking forward to some quality time with TT this weekend. Overall I rate it rather highly actually and I’d give it a 9 ½ out of 10 because it’s just so damn fun popin monos…

yeah i picked up a copy last saturday and im pretty happy with it. unfortunately i find it pretty hard to pop monos on anything other than the sportsbikes like the yzf600s and upwards. you should be able to get pretty much any of them on the back wheel...drz400s and the like should do them easy. but oh well, im just biased being an offroad rider:p unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any wheelspin or lockups either which takes away from riding motard bikes which are usually sliding into corners under brakes and whatnot. graphics look wild tho, and the gameplay is pretty easy to get the hang of.

i heard bikes will be included in GT5 tho, so that should be pretty awesome whenever it comes out on ps3!

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
