GT5 ship date predictions

Dfgt doesn't even have a clutch pedal.  You'll get bored quickly

I think I figured out why DQing by hitting other cars makes no sense - it's not based on how hard you hit them, but rather the difference in speed between the two cars in the collision. So you could barely scrape somebody, but if you're moving way faster than them, it still DQs you.

On a related note, the IA-10 Test is really starting to piss me off.

It's doable. Just be nice and alert. I kept messing up trying to win it at 1 am. Get past the first three cars and the rest aren't as aggressive when getting by them.

[r0tor]

I'm a level 22... yay

[Onslaught]

Dude if you are getting hit in the ass you are braking way too early.  The AI blows on the brakes you should be opening a gap.

I'm getting hit in the ass after making a clean pass on a curve. Guy must not have liked it.

I still think the AI in this blows ass.

[r0tor]

To be honest I liked the prologue better.... it was more concentrated on the crap I actually cared about and the online racing seemed to work worlds better

The DQ by collision pisses me off.  Particularly when I get DQ'ed because another car hits me while I'm passing it.

Yeah.

I understand why they have it in the game, but it was definitely implemented poorly.

[Mustangfan2003]

Some of the hits you can get away with and others you can't, it's stupid. 

[68_427]

We gotta get everyone on and do some shuffle races.  They are good fun.

[Onslaught]

Well my name is Mr-Onslaught. I've not done any on-line stuff with GT5 yet. Hell, I'll have to look for my mic for my PS3.

[68_427]

Okay I don't think I can get on tonight.  Fucking court and town planning meeting.

Aren't you like 17? What are you doing going to a town planning meeting?

Community service for school.

Fuck the asshole who came up with the historic car challenge on expert

I beat it with a race mod Camaro.  B spec driver can't win with even a full modded Toyota 7, XJ13, or 330.

[r0tor]

This game passes me off... you go from the expert level where you have to mod the shit out of something for the historic car challenge to the extreme series which you can win the Schwartzwald and European car races with bone stock cars

[Northlands]

This game feels more like work to me than it ever used to. I'm taking a break from playing this mainly because I'm either too old for this shit, or the older versions just seemed more fun.

I'm unimpressed with the lack of accuracy for engine noises yet again. I thought they were going to fix that. You'd figure 6+ years of working on the game would be enough time?

My B spec driver beat it with a Toyota 7.

Yep, this part of it sucks. Actually, ALL the sounds for this game suck.

+1,000,000! My '69 Corvette sounds like an Altima.

Apparently mine one with a 2J.  I had no Idea he actually did those races.

[hotrodalex]

+1,000,000! My '69 Corvette sounds like an Altima.

In GT4 my M5 sounded like a muscle car and my Chevelle sounded like a BMW.

[Mustangfan2003]

So when does this game come out again?

[Onslaught]

I played GT5 and Forza 3 all day. And I think Forza 3 is a better game.
Any of you guys have both of them? If so, what game do you thinks better?

[68_427]

I don't have Forza but I too think it's a better "game" while GT5 is more of a "Tool/RPG".  It all depends on what people prefer.

[Onslaught]

I think GT has just a little better car physics. And only just a little better at that. And to tell you the truth, it could be because my PS3 wheel is 8 million times better than my 360 one.
I think the main menu on GT is better an having the challenges is nice.

I think both games are a wash on looks. The cars look a little better on GT but the backgrounds look better on Froza.

You've got better tracks on Forza and more of the ones I want to run on too.

The On-Line is a little better on Forza.

The sounds on Forza are MUCH BETTER.

The collision damage is better on Forza.

The Load times are better on Forza.

You can buy any car you want on Forza at anytime. As long as you've got the money. If I want an F-60 to run I can buy it without being at some "level." I paid $60 for a game and think I should buy WTF I want when I want it.

I think you can tune a car a little more on Forza. Or you can upgrade brakes and buy more rims. And do more stuff to the pain it you're into that kind of stuff.

And I've not played as much GT to say this for sure. But it looks like you've got more kinds of races to run in the GT.

So Forza 3 is just the 3rd game out of the series and came out on time. And GT-5 took years to get out and if it's better then Forza (I'm not so sure it is) then it's darn close. To me that makes Forza the winner.

I'm off to play both of them some more.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I hate having to be at a certain level to buy cars aslo! Does Forza have liscence test also?

[Onslaught]

No, it has no license test. You just get in and race in the stuff you want or you've got a car for. You can't just jump into the high end stuff right from the start. But that's only because you've got to buy them first.

And I don't miss the license test really. I was never a fan of the license test on any GT game. I recall playing GT1 and doing a hard one and thinking that after all that work getting the license that the actual racing would be impossible. But then I'd destroy the race stuff.

Car and Driver did a good review of both and I agree with them on most of it. I do not however think of GT5 as a "simulator." I've seen PC games that blow it away in that department.

I've played the shit out of Forza3 so GT5 is the game I'm going to rock now. But if you told me I could only have one then it be Forza probably. I'd just have to find a better wheel then I've got.

Haha!  I still remember driving a Corvette Z06 around a wet circle and never being able to do it quickly enough or without spinning or understeering off.
