GT5 ship date predictions

SVT_Power · February 01, 2011, 08:30:01 PM

I just tried the top gear intermediate special event (elise one) for 45 minutes straight. Got nothing to show for it.

68_427 · February 01, 2011, 08:33:36 PM

I won the Elise one 1st try. Ride the brake a tiny bit going into the second to last corner if the rear is coming around for ya.

SVT_Power · February 01, 2011, 09:03:11 PM

I swear the hardest corner in the whole race is that first corner. Damn comfort hard tires.

+1. After half an hour of trying, all I accomplished was managing to F up that turn in every way imaginable. Screw that shit.

BimmerM3 · February 02, 2011, 01:45:07 PM

Yeah that was way too hard with the controller. I haven't gone back to try again since I got the wheel.

This will probably be the first GT game I will not complete... no way I'm doing the stupid ass.endurance races that don't let you save in progress and have no b-spec handover option

I've pretty much stopped playing

Yeah, the actual game play is great, but that whole "User Experience" thing is severely lacking. Here's to hoping they'll release some patches to fix the retarded shit they did in the original release.

I'm in the same place as r0tor; I've basically stopped playing entirely as well. I've been playing NFS: Hot Pursuit and actually having fun.

Vinsanity · February 03, 2011, 03:23:12 PM

one of GT5's special events should be a cop car chasing you in the middle of a 16-car race around 2 laps of that 7-mile city course up and down that bridge/tunnel crossing the Tokyo Bay

68_427 · February 03, 2011, 03:25:41 PM

I wish my PS3 was working. I'm really missing this game. I tried to like NFS HP but I just couldn't get into it. The driving seemed really dumbed down. I also really want to get my Bad Company Vietnam on too.

I haven't played in over a month. This game does not live up to the hype!

Way too long a wait for an incomplete game.

Onslaught · February 03, 2011, 07:53:59 PM

I'm glad I didn't buy one of those $300 racing seats. I've not put the game in in three weeks.

Northlands · February 04, 2011, 06:51:08 AM

I haven't played in over a month and a half.

On a side note, I rented Dead Space 2. Now there's a fun survivor horror style game. Chock full of blood and guts too.

565 · February 21, 2011, 07:55:09 PM

Another update,

I also got the X2010 Red Bull car. Damn it's fast and grippy. After getting used to the X2010, the Formula Gran Turismo feels like a miata, unbelievably slow, soft, and grip deficient

S204STi · March 03, 2011, 10:04:11 AM

After playing this game at a friend's house I went ahead and picked up a PS3 and a copy of GT5... so far the only disappointment is the lack of regular Porsche models. Otherwise it's a really fun game. I'm glad I did it.

Onslaught · March 03, 2011, 10:09:37 AM

I'm starting to get mad at the number of cars in this game. They don't put in many of the cars I'd like to have but put in 300 race versions of one car and call the different.

S204STi · March 03, 2011, 10:21:04 AM

You remind me, my current car is an RX7. Awesome little car.

SJ_GTI · March 03, 2011, 12:45:13 PM

I just started playing this game last week. So far I am having trouble getting gold in all the licenses, I haven't actually gotten to a real race yet.

Kinda dissappointed I won't be able to buy an S4 in the game too.

ChrisV · March 07, 2011, 01:52:12 PM

I finally got a copy of GT5 of my own, as my stepson took his to SC with him. Love it so far. I have the HKS controllers, which work real good. Barely started playing A spec (and I think I'm going to run karts for a bit to earn some cash for real cars). But my wife and I battle it out in 2P mode. The HKS controllers made it so this is the first GT game she can actually be successful at.

I like it. Saves money on buying real race cars...

68_427 · March 07, 2011, 01:57:57 PM

I always thought the HKS was a cool idea, but I didn't wanna risk the $60 and not like it.

I paid $60 for a pair of them on Amazon.

68_427 · March 07, 2011, 02:09:23 PM

Oh. It doesn't matter now though. My PS3 has been broked for almost 2 months. It sucks.

ChrisV · March 07, 2011, 02:12:14 PM

Wow. Too bad. I've had my PS3 since they first came out (well, a couple months after and bought it used).

68_427 · March 07, 2011, 02:14:34 PM

Yeah mine was launch day. The dust combined with alot of heat cycles were just too much for it.

Mine went boom too a week before GT5 came out. Had to send it in and have them fix it.
