Gt5 Is Ready

[Darmanin10]

. I'm having trouble with the Intermediate nascar challenges on the outside lane. So hard to get gold, I think i've had at least 100 attempts.

u serious, must be because you use a controller, i did it first time with a wheel

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

man has anyone fully upgraded the exhaust on a premium s13 with the little 1.8? ive got it at 350hp and man does it sound good and go hard. i too was pretty disapointed at all the standard cars, they are just gt4 with shiny paint..

doesnt matter i guess when ive got my 660hp r33 gtr v-spec (premium), and loving it!!

im having trouble getting gold on the those as well, i think the closest i came was within .010.. yes im using controller. i suspected that was why. having a real hard time keeping a smooth line.

is anyone else's not connecting to the community server? on the GT mode home page i go to community and it comes back saying error fail cannot do that etc

U deffinately need a wheel, turning and throttle controll is zoo much easier

[S4LVA]

Yeah I'm using the control but changed acceleration to R2 for throttle control. I'ts a pretty intense 13 seconds lol. I was going to buy a wheel for this game but after maxing the mods on the Veyron and R35 the games just way to easy and not that fun anymore. I'll probably get a Driving force GT if I keep playing, is anyone using this wheel here? Or should I get the G25/G27?

Those nascar challenges are stupidly easy with the wheel

[UWISSH!]

get a g27 mate, they are fantastic to use

[Ten Four]

Given up on nascar with the controller =/ Bronze is all I can manage on the advanced one =/

Finished all the challenges bar ^ and only managed to get silver for the advanced AMG plus one silver in that tour thing with the WRC focus....

Now need to save money for a LeMans car =/

So far extremely farken disapointed is an understatement.

Don't know what the fark they were doing for the last 3-5 years but it certainly wasn't making an interesting game.

Each GT so far, I've sat down and literally have thought WOW. But this one has nothing!

About the only thing i can honestly say I've thought, man this a big improvement on the last GT is the exhaust notes, thats it.

The AI is something i would expect in mario bros game. AI drivers just tap you and your in a spin into the grass, yet they just circulate like nothings happened.

You can be on the racing line and they just plough into you. Its like you need to get out of their way.

It also has some crap catch up type thing built in. Just did too back to back races in the same car, Race 1 in second place was a fight to get the lead. Race 2 gave everyone 30secs start and caught the field in a lap.

Not sure if i was epecting too much after playing PC sims like GTR2 but so this is absolute crap.

Yeah graphics are great, and yeah nice selection of cars, but I'm close to board shitless after 1 day.

Time to hand in my GT Fanboy badge. I buy the playstations purely for this game and well, looks like it'll be the last one i get.

I'm a little disappointed with the shadowing, it's almost like GT1 or GT2 shadowing on the PSX. Same on a wet track with the water spray, once it's around the car it looks all pixelated..anyone else notice that?

[PM-R33]

Yep I noticed that aswell.

When you have an inside view of a premium car and there is a shadow cast over the windscreen or something, it is jagged as hell!

The thing is, if it had came out when it was ment to it would be a glorious game, the fact they delayed it for so long really screwed them over.

If number 6 comes out within the next couple of years I think that is going to be the one to watch out for.

+1 I noticed that too. To be quite honest Forza 3 may be a better game over all the GT5 and this is coming from the man who bought a PS3 nearly a year ago hoping for this game to come out soon. Its not a bad game its just dissappointing because after so long you would expect it to blow Forza 3 out of the water not just get close to or just equal it.

Fark you guys whinge a lot.

Anyone else have trouble with getting gold with slalom challenges with a controller?

Yes, some of the challenges are very very difficult with the controller, i've been reading the GT5 boards and it seems very few people if any have been able to do the later NASCAR challenges without a wheel.

I don't know, to me its not that its bad, its just that the entire concept/game play is exactly like the last one.

Personally i would prefer shit graphics but a game that I'm so addicted too that i don't go to sleep, instead of this artsy piece of crap we got. I mean a photo section? FARK OFF, its a game.

This game to me seems like it was purely made to stroke some clowns ego at polyphony cause he thought he could produce the prettiest cars in a game.

Its not whinging if its true

Oh and while I'm at it, what the fark is with that message each time you get a car, now you have black paint, now you have blue paint. We farken get it!!

As if this thing didn't have enough screens to click through without garbage like that.

GT5 is like when an actor kills it at the box office and then does one of those back alley semi ghey pron films to show how talented he his. Doesn't matter how you look at it, it still sux balls.

That is one of the most annoying things I have found.

[Spurdo]

yea the paint thing is a pain in the ass. and if you use one of those colours to paint another car, you cant use that colour again! this is bullshit.. if you go to any panel shop you pay the money and they'll paint your car any colour you want. you dont have to have acquired the paint beforehand lol.

the other fkn annoying thing.. the process you have to go through to accept each prize car.. anyone else get fkd off doing that constantly?

do we have like a sau gt5 group or anything? would be cool too have heaps of us sharing drivers etc

[boiracer]

lol yes there is alot of whingeing here.

finally got it and played the hell out of it over the last 2 days. lvl 15 already and i find it hard to stop playing.

sure the shadows are a bit dicky, and in true GT form the sounds are all sorts of wierd. bumping into cars sounds like hitting a wheely bin on the roadside.

but i just dont care. after spending alot of time getting golds in the Nurburgring Merc challenges i was hooked, the physics are freaking awesome behind a wheel. you feel more bumps and bits than GT4. even the old 300 gullwing gets loose over the hills, while the SLS just sticks, and its just a joy to drive. i can see myself loosing alot of real life time flying around the ring in every car i can get my greedy little hands on.

BTW the reason it feels like a GT game is because it is.....if it had been too different i would have been disappointed. and if you think forza looks better then you need a better TV

and yes the trial around the top gear track in the Elise is a bit very annoying....im sure an Elise doesnt just over steer at any speed when you do anything...lol

MORE GOLDS!!!! silver just wont do....
