Gran Turismo 5

[Mavric]

Well its taken 2000 and something days well lets just call it 5 years and not be picky to get to our PS3's but it has finally arrived...

Last night i was lucky enough to grab a copy of GT5 (my wife rocks) and get stuck into it...

After a long hour of Loading the 8 gig of data onto the PS3 GT5 was ready to rock!!! (it saw the deletion of various demo games housed on my hdd but nothing was getting in the way of installing GT5)

The intro to this game is just fornominal... I'm sure by now it will be smashed all over youtube but the creators have gone to the extremes from the word get go!!!

My first view of the home screen was impressive it had a neat yet complicated layout which you just knew this was going to be extreme. With so many options on one dashboard there is no way its going to be all over in a week....

The first and most basic licence seemed to be the obvious starter, get a feel for the cars the game and the track.. I have been playing GT5 Prologe for quite a while now and GT5 just blows it away. The detail on the dash within the cars and the track themselves are just something else. Moving along we get to some S turns to pass another licence test. With GT5Prologue breaking mid corner was never a sin... It would possibly put you into some form of understeer but nothing like GT5... I think real life disaster would be the best way to describe what happened to my car as it pinned me off tail first into a wall... (please no reminders)

I'm currently sitting on Level 7 with what looks to have an exciting 24 levels of Licence.

Having a quick look over the car list its impressive. There is a live used car section with everything from the cheap to the classics.. The used car section offers cars with low km and also those with high km. The maintenance division provides oil changes to engine rebuilds... All that you would expect from racing a car..

I give GT5 the thumbs up!!!!

I'm getting a PS3 just for GT5 alone. can't wait!!!

[Mavric]

I brought my PS3 about 5 Years ago just for GT5 its been a long wait!!!

Lady at the shop asked if I wanted a warranty on the Disk in case it gets scratched and needs to be replaced.. Man its not coming out!!!

[Mohsen]

Holy crap I don't believe it is finally out

After many delays, the last one in October was such an anticlimax that I was over it until it was finally released.

Looks like I'm going to JB at lunchtime!

[Sarumatix]

No shiz! I saw an add on a bus that read 'coming soon' and I burst out laughing. They weren't lying!

im still playing Stunts and Test Drive III

Mate there is nothing wrong with Stunts... GT5 is like Stunts only like a tiny bit better.....

Stunts still lets you do the loop

[MaTBoY]

[krzysiu]

Got mine yesterday too mate. People where like WTF how u get it. The intro vid is awesome.

[works 510]

brought a ps3 earlier this week while in the usa, gave some cash to a mate to bring back a copy of gt5 this weekend as I couldnt find a cheap price for it here :S

If only I could find it for $77 here, oh well

[krzysiu]

I bought mine for $77

[Gazzilla]

Im picking it up tonight!!! Anyone Tried Multiplayer yet??.... Hope other players are penalised properly now for when they drive like ass hats.

[krzysiu]

^ go to EB and get them to price match Big W $77.79

[r32line]

I just bought it at JB and they are selling it for $77 shelf price. No need to price match etc etc. They also have heaps of copies in the city store

[M34N]

Also paid $77.97 at Big W Southland, last one they had left on the shelf so was happy to get it. Couldn't go earlier in the morning like I planned so very happy I found a copy, would have been very angry if I didn't get a copy today.

I'm installing the game right now, taken about 30 mins so far. Was hoping to have a play before I go to work in another hour but looks like I'll have to play later tonight unfortunately! Lucky I'm a very patient person

I already picked the first few cars I'm going to buy in the game, how sad is that?

[r32line]

What is this 'installing' you guys are talking about?

I wont be home till late tonight but i would have thought you but the disc in and other than checking for updates it would just play straight away?

[MUZT3K]

bought the collectors edition for my brother at my work for $97 comes with extra cars, cool theme and some book i think

[teK--]

I had a problem with mine starting up. It just says "accessing HDD, do not turn off whilst HDD light flashing etc" Then it shows an [OK] button to click on but nothing happens and you can't click on it.

Turns out it is the DJ Hero turntable receiver. Unplugged it and works fine.

Apparently same problem with Guitar hero and other USB accessories.
