Not trolling GT5 and or PS3. This is totally router dependant. You might need to exclude the PS3 IP and or MAC address. You might need to put the PS3 in the routers DMZ. There are a number of options

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain contr

Hell No!!

I'd owned and sold my import well before I ever set eyes on a GT game. You can thank Bathurst in the early 90's and wanting something interesting for motorsport for my buying an import. And I wanted something newer to replace my GTS2 10 years ago.

As I've said before, If you want a hardcore driving sim, you wouldn't be looking to PS3 / Xbox / Wii for your gaming needs, and certainly not the GT series of games. Still, it's great light entertainment so I think it will still be enjoyable. Come to think of it, the reviews are pretty much exactly what I always expected of the game. I may have hoped for a lot more realism, but not being a proper simulator, I doubted that it would deliver. No great loss, and I'm sure it will sell well if for no other reason than people get to drive lots of cool cars and pretend to be [insert your favourite motorsports hero]

Forza comes as close to a good sim as anything I've played on console... you could quickly make a car undriveable by changing setup in the wrong way... to make cars drift you would set them up the same way you would a real car... the changes could be immediately felt... lowering the car could be seen visually and would make the car drive differently, too low and it would skip over bumps etc... adjusting shocks for bump/rebound, diff ratios, aero etc etc... also the ability to do engine swaps was very cool... I put a 600hp RB26 into an AE86 and it was completely undriveable lol... complete pig... my favourite car was an RX7 with an NA 20B... turbo S2000 was cool too... lots of options for mechanical creativity... fark off the stupid bodykits and neons

This is what I was hoping from GT5... I don't really car about visual details... they might have got their priorities wrong but I'm still going to buy it and find out

Picked it up today and played for a few hours. Got it from JB for $77 - was pretty surprised was expecting closer to $100.

The menu interface is a bit annoying as usual, slow loading times between screens. Seems a little unpolished but gets the job done.

Licenses are pretty much same as usual - have only bothered with the first few for now.

Started with an S13 CA18DET silvia - oil warning light was on for my first race so gave it an engine rebuild. The mods are pretty reminiscent of GT1/2/3/4 not a heap of options. Its now heaps of fun to drive though after setting up the suspension and getting some more grunt. Have been through the beginner and started amateur A-spec races.

Was pretty dark when I realised you don't get interiors for the "standard" cars. Have not bought a "premium" car as yet.

The go karts in special events area are heaps of fun.

Also went for a fang around the Nurburgring in a '54 300 SL which was great fun from the interior view.

I think its going to be a case of loving half of it where all the new detail is, and just same old GT for the other half.

got it yesterday and been playing it a fair bit since then... love it.

will love it more once i get my cockpit from simparts nz... but still at least for now i can get all the licences out of the way etc

bit pissed off though that i even have to get the licences again seeing as the whole point of going through GT5-P was because you could import the licences and cars... what a load of shit that was.

its no irace as far as the sim side of things, but never expected it to be.

Expecting gt to have a bunch of forzaisms wasn't very realistic.

Gt has never been about engine swaps mega tuning .

I've always seen gt as best motoring compared to forzas jdm option.

Either way, it's a racing game where you have to use the brakes, which is alot better than the nfs series. It's not froze but I don't want it to be, I'd like to play froze for it's perks and gt for it's own.

scooted out of work at lunch n grabbed a copy.

Get home after work, attempt install. Fk not enough memory... even after deleting all photos n music off. Game data had taken up over 35gb of the 40gb available.

So off i go... grab a 500gb HD from local pc store. Backed up, installed new HD, formatted, n currently ready to start uploading all the backup crap. Then i can start the install... might actually get a look at the game tonight if i'm lucky

Stage 1/2/3 mods are pretty boring, Was really hoping for a real parts performance shop. I agree it does just feel like any other GT game but with improved graphics. The racing is still very fun though, the used car shops annoying because you have to check back all the time untill they have a car you want for sale in there. Also money is way to easy to get. 4000+ per race means you get a new decent car every 8 or so races making you not appreciate your new car at all.

Has anyone tried the top gear track special event in the VW van? Most annoying challenge ever.

Go karts are good for a change though.

Thing is I won a Xbox 360 and Kinect (maccas sms hahaha) and might just keep it and get F3. Might wait for a few more reviews....

put an xbox with kinect on layby for chrissy... me n mrs played it at a mates a week back and f*k it was a bit of fun. Tho it'll probably be like Wii games... fun for a week n then meh.

Tho i'll be getting F3 also... haven't played forza 2 eva, only the original back yonks n yonks ago.

very disappointed here.. 97.7% finished gt3... played gt4 for countless hours after i left school... then been addicted to forza 2 and then 3 for the last year.. and all i can say is what a letdown this is.. all i was expecting was a game similar to forza.. but all i can think of when i play this is how much like gt4 it is.. and the graphics are terrible.. u dont buy a hi def tv and a ps3 to see ur silvia or skyline in the same graphics it was 7 years ago on the ps2 ... game play feels crap, feels very detached from the car compared to forza 3/2.. :).... rant over

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
