Gt5 Is Ready

[hrd-hr30]

hahaha at least we know not to get excited for nothin now

apparently you get a car from the year of your birth...

[Mr Eps]

well that's pretty cool - shame my birthday's not till sept 2011!!!!

...jeez you'd be PISSED if you were born on 29th of february!!!!

i actually prefer the B spec to some of the rally events. just wish my drivers would realise that if they are in a lambo LP640 and the car in front is a little hatch back and they are faster than it, that by using the big round thing on the dash in front of them they can go around the car in front.

i hear that!!

the b-spec drivers really do borderline on mental retardation when it comes to overtaking slow cars. and what pisses me off is that your opponents never have the same issues! in the "like the wind" race at indianapolis i use the 787B and it dominates by a long shot, but theres always the gillet vertigo race car that you lap 2 or 3 times before the finish, the 787B could almost drive circles around it, but instead the b-spec driver decides to hang off his tail for half a lap then wait until the next big straight, often letting your opponents catch right up to you. and they dont use the slipstream off the car in front well at all. they'll be in the slip stream, pull out to overtake, brake, then continue to try accelerate past, wtf is that!! they should never take their foot off the gas!

and i cant think of one good car that came out in 1987.. so looks like my "bday present" is a write off..

Your PS3 seems to have errored many more times than my xbox (0 times) so if anyone's mad, it's you bro.

touche.

fixing it has become like tying my shoes now lol

[typevu]

YEAHHHHH looky what just showed up in the mail

Pity I just lent my copy of GT5 to a mate since I havent played it for awhile give it a try with Hot Pursuit I reckon

[Spurdo]

YOU BASTARD! where the hell do you order one of those?? i got told by EB they aint coming to nz but im keen to order from overseas if i have to

wait.. i heard a horrible rumour they weren't wireless, which now i remember that was why i stopped looking for one.

so is it wireless or not?? thats a deal breaker for me if it isnt

Wow, that controller looks crazy! What the hell are those umm i'm going to call them slider things?

Looks like it aint wireless judging by the cord coming from the top.

[barraspalding]

Yeah it's amazing to see one in the flesh... But yeah cord is a deal breaker for sure. Is it ps2 connector or USB?

[typevu]

Its not wireless but the cord is quite long. Doesnt bother me as I sit pretty much next to the PS3 anyway or sometimes sit on the bed. I prefer the cord actually - saves charging - I got a wired keyboard and mouse.

So far so good, feels different to using the triggers its weird I got my fingers ready to press the trigger to accel/brake but I dont use it! Accel/brake feels great being able to "heel and toe" using the thumb lol steering response is so much better than the joystick on the DS3.

I think I need to get me hands on GRID again to try out the drifting on that with this controller.

EDIT: its USB

[Spurdo]

hmm. i may still consider it. where do you order it from?

[typevu]

EB Games from the US.

[barraspalding]

Is it really "powered by HKS"??

[Spurdo]

they'd like u to think so. but i believe interworks are the ones behind it. the "powered by HKS" just sells it to the bundies.

[barraspalding]

damn it... gotta ask... wtf is a bundie?

[Spurdo]

basically, chumps.

its basic psychological marketing.

target market = young boyracers/gamers/import car enthusiasts. all these types know HKS, and know HKS = awesome.

therefore slap the HKS name on a product = instant mass appeal to said market = mass sales.

you comprehend yes?

and has anyone won the final nascar race at daytona in a-spec? i get pit maneuvered and spun around every time lol. on the odd occasion i do get out in front, i lose too much speed on the corners because i cant keep the car steady with the standard controller and just get owned anyway lol
