Gt5 Is Ready

[bubba]

Is anyone buying a PS3 just for this game? I am wondering if I should just go buy a unit now or wait for some GT5+Console bundle..

I bought a PS3 just for this game, but that was a few years ago

I'm glad this game only came up on my radar recently (despite being a diehard GT fan). Painful to see people posting way back in 2008 as if the game was just months away.

lolz I posted on the first page of this thread

i was in on page 2, but this thread only started pretty much a year ago today, so not as bad as 2008.

Question.. I haven't played GT5 Prologue but a friend (a GT veteran) says that playing in 'professional' mode with the controller is very hard. Apparently it's like there is little or no self-centering so it's difficult to control.

Anyone experienced this? Maybe it's designed for use with a wheel, not a controller.

I've played GT5P at my cousin's house with his G25 and got really used to it on professional physics (I don't have a PS3 so i've only played a few times). I was there again last week and we couldn't be bothered setting up the G25 so we just used the regular controller. I adjusted to it very quickly even with professional physics on and could make adjustments to my line etc etc (of course with a G25 you could make more slight adjustments) whenever i wanted. I even played online and had some very interesting races where your skill was needed through the corners and not just drafting off the person infront of you on the straight to overtake. In other words, i found the controller to be fine on professional physics but i was using a R35 and not a high powered rwd (also used an integra too).

i havent played GT in ages - but do the cars finally leave skid marks yet when you do burnouts / slides?

[mad082]

i don't think so no.

[DivHunter]

For real?

stolen from wasteland

[s13-steve]

how can they not have included such a basic hoon need as skid marks? its 2010 games have been doing this for 10 yearls already

[mad082]

the original need for speed had it, and it came out back in 1994

but honestly i don't care about skid marks

[bozodos]

I think it has something to do with the GT series trying to be a 'simulator', which IIRC is why they don't have destructible cars, you can't flip them etc

[Marco-R34GTT]

But cars can be flipped! Just ask Mark Webber lol! Twice in an LM Mercedes CLK-GTR that thought it was a part of the German Luftwaffe and once in his trusty Red Bull RB6 that gave him wings!

The latest trailers do seem to show cars flipping...

But my feeling is that its a race simulator, not a crash simulator. It is gonna be fun seeing the result of bumping panels during a race but I don't think full on crash damage, loss of panels etc really adds much to the game IMO.

You shouldn't be busting up these lovely cars anyway

[mad082]

yeah in GT5 you can roll cars. they are supposed to be a bit more realistic in their crashing.

You have to have damage or online is just dodgem cars.

[Beer Baron]

hmm ultimate edition eh? now i'm intrigued. looks like I have to buy a regular CE and an ultimate now.

You have to have damage or online is just dodgem cars.

But if you have damage online just ends up being a Destruction Derby type of race... happened on Forza 2.
