hahahahaha - been going the wrong way with games lately???

HOW lately are we talking here? last game they released was gran turismo 4 - that came out over 5 years ago - 2004 to be precise... so 6 year hiatus to release a full game

i love reading comments like this one. people say forza is better than GT5

how do you compare that which does not yet exist?

what a homo

don't you know anything rowan? the sound of the cars is better on forza and that is everything when playing game. who cares about how the cars handle or anything like that? as long as the cars sound better and the graphics when viewed on a 1 million and 80p mega HD television are so much better that pretty much no-one but the forza fan can notice then the game is better.

i don't give a crap about those sorts of things and love reading stupid comments by people who do. those people need to pry their hand off their cock long enough to step out into the light of day for the first time in 5 years and go and attempt to talk to someone of the opposite sex in real life. but even then they would probably complain that the woman's voice didn't sound as good in real life as it did on their dolby 6000.1 stereo system.

i'm going to be playing gt5 on a standard old style television through it's crappy standard speakers. how good the graphics are or how good the sound is doesn't mean shit to me cause most of the time i will only have the sound up just loud enough to hear the engine noise cause i will be playing it while the missus is watching tv shows that i find boring as shit.

spoke to a guy a jb hifi today. he said on his computers it said the release date was 01/01/2010... but he also said maybe be the 2nd as 1st s a public holiday...... have to wait and see...

Edited by wasnt me
ok did a very quick search and it is possible that there will actually be a january release date.

this is from november 30, so very recent

http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-com...christmas-2009/

it says november 30 2008

so march seems the general theory, sooo maybe october if were lucky

i get emails from PSN and nothing even a mumble about the release, so its def not january or it would be all over it.

either way, gotta get my G27 and build my steering setup quick smart.

i gots improve mine... anyone got an R33 dash?

Either way it should be out early next year, even if it's March, that aint long away compared to the amount of years we've been waiting.

exactly. there have been so many release dates so far and they just keep getting put off. i think that by the time it does finally get released it will be a massive failure. not because the game will be bad but because so many people will have gotten fed up with waiting and gone out and bought an x-box and forza 3. the longer they dick around with the release the less money they are going to make.

also the march release is only for the japanese version, so we might not get it until a few months after that.

mado82.......dont think that way, so many people do. I'd rather wait a bit longer and get the game in its finished state not some crap thats been thrown out just to make a few buck (NFS shift comes to mind, cant wait to trade it in on a good game). GT games have always taken a long time to come out, ive waited well beyond release date for every one of the GT games. and i really dont care, its still the best selling driving game. and will always remain my favourite, as i know they will do a good job of it.

the initial coments when the PS3 came out was for it to come out mid 2010, and they said it wont come out till its perfect. bring it on when its ready boys!!!!

2 :) for the idea of building a skyline dashboard around your steering setup

what pisses me off about the whole GT5 thing is that instead of getting their arse into gear and getting the game done they keep arsing about doing other things. how much extra time did making prologue add onto the final release date? and the same goes for the PSP? why not put all the time and effort into making the main game for the main console and then worry about the other shit later on.

and the fact that they come out with bullshit statements like when they said it was ready to be released any day now. then to come out and say that they are only 65% finished. well if it has taken them 5 years to get to 65% finished then we won't see it until 2012.

yes i agree that it is good that they want the game 100% ready when it is released so that they don't have to release a path 2 days after it's release as this would just lower the reputation of the game, especially after such a long lead out time. but the longer they take the more damage they are doing to their reputation and the higher the quality is going to have to be to justify the amount of time it took. also the more sales they are losing by taking longer.

if when the game is finally released it isn't miles ahead of anything else i think it will do a lot of damage to their reputation as people won't bother waiting stupidly long periods of time for any more of their games. i also think that they are putting too much time into the wank factor of the game, the visible side of things. i don't really give a shit how good a leaf looks sitting on the side of the road when you go past it at 200kmh. it is only the serious computer nerds who rate a game more off how it looks and sounds than how it plays that are going to care. yes it would be good to still have it look great, but there is a limit to how good you need to make it before you start going over the top.

i'm basically over it. if i still give a fuck when the game comes out i will buy it, but until such time i don't care anymore. i'm sick of being dicked about with lies by these guys. had the originally said "it will be out in early 2010" and never changed their view on that then that would've been fine, but since they kept yanking our chains with the above mentioned statements about being ready to release it at any moment, etc, then i don't care anymore.

haha its the new Duke Nukem Forever!

Actually Marc, I like to stop my car on the side of the road to check out the realism of the spectators, it adds to my gaming experience.

So you can either GB2 GT4 or come to the light side and get an Xbox 360 + Forza 3 :banana:

I agree with what Mad is saying about it having to be miles ahead of all other games in terms of gameplay and realism due to the fact they have taken so long. For example, Modern Warefare really raised the bar for what the PS3 is capable of, if GT5 came out before Modern Warfare or similar games it would have set the bench mark, now that those games have raised the bar, it's going to be even more difficult for GT5 to be more impressive.

All i can say is it better be the best video game ever made in terms of realism to be taking this long.

If the full game resembles the prologue i have to say that the wait will not be worth it.

Having played prologue non stop since it came out, then play Forza 3, Polyphony has to come up with something spectacular.

And i fear that GT5 just wont cut the mustard. I mean 5 years of development?

In theory Prologue should look and and feel like GT2 compared to the new game with the amount of time spent on it.

Someone dropped the ball somewhere, and no amount of fine tuning of the game will pull them out of the shit, and they know it. They are just delaying the inevitable walk away from the series :)

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
