I'll be working anyway till 10pm, so thats me out too and tmrw will probably be one of my last times I'll be playing COD coz GT5 is out on Wednesday 24th and I'll be on that for a long time to come from then onwards... :D

Remember now Zimbo. The aim of GT5 is to move around the track as fast as you can and not to :zimbo: like you do in COD :thumbs up:

Started off with a Civic Type R. Not too bad. Winning most of the beginner races. Now bought myself a nice Cooper S in "leather blue". WTF?

Can't get online. Keeps saying no connection to the server or something. If that continues it will be ditched. Not really into racing games but if we can all race online i would persevere with it.

Jurys out for me.

25th November 2010, 09:50 AM
So far so good. The intro is pretty cool and the online seems to work quite well for it being brand new. Its good that you can choose your garage cars for online. In GT3 network play you couldn't - not sure what GT4 was like on network. My first online race was me in my civic against a Zonda!

I'm liking the return of the history on the cars. GT4 only showed a brief scrolling bit but theres a lot more now in GT5.

A bit slow through the menus at times but hopefully that's just teething problems.

zimbo
25th November 2010, 10:58 AM
Well ive not tried it online yet so cant comment on that, but have been doing my licenses and got my B and A licenses so far, next is the iB (International B) then the iA and so on. the only decent car I found for my 20,000 credits in the 2nd hamd car section was a white toyota celica 2.0 and its pretty good, but have since won some other sh!te wee cars and bought a couple more including a Cooper S (I mean we have to dont we...?) :lol:

Do you eventually get the top gear track released and is there a susuki Liana or other acceptable reasonably priced machine that there could be a NMS Lap Record Comp?

May buy a steering wheel and see if that improves the play of the game. Won't fix the menu delays though. :(

26th November 2010, 09:42 AM
The Menus are very slow just now because of the server load. Until the solutions are in place your advised to turn off the net connection on the ps3 (theres a news article in the game)

Makes a huge difference.

Got an M3 last night and wayhay..... drift crazy.

Anyone else checked out the data logger? Very cool. And the in car view is really good, when you look back you look out the back window and can see the back seats!

any of my friends can then click on "my lounge" and it should show my lobby! :)

we should all make up skype accounts ( i do this for Black op's )

The McLaren is like a bigger version of the Lotus Elise, i.e it's very twitchy :frown:

When doing the Licience levels how are you supposed to get gold. No matter how hard i try Silver tends to be the best I can achieve.

I have a few golds not many though mostly silvers and the odd bronze. I guess practice makes perfect.

:Whistle: Greig did you win that or did you buy it? I read somewhere that you can win it by completing a certain race etc but cant remember which one tho. I saw an ALL BLACK Veyron in the garage once with zero miles on the clock but I didnt have the millions they were asking for for it... :frown: really want to get one of them for my garage :yes nod:

Theres a dirt race thats quite easy to get a Gold (the first one where you go down hill, early braking its called I think). I got 2 seconds quicker than the gold time.

Need to look later, but I defo won it. It was silver but re-sprayed white. It runs about 1300 BHP, it's totally ridiculously quick.

Pretty sure I used the Lamborghini countach did have to mod it though.

On another note I just completed the japanese car challenge on expert. Bought a GT-R then spent £200,000 plus on modding it, what a car I think it's one of my favs now.

You have to complete the "GRAN TURISMO CHAMPIONSHIP" in top spot.

I think (from memory) it is in the 2nd from top category in Spec-A and is the bottom right race. It is 5 races in a row, BUT make sure you click the championship and not the individual races, and bare in mind you will be up against the likes of the tuned/raceing skylines, supras, FTOs etc. I did mine in my tuned 458 Italia and managed to get Gold in all 5 races, just. I wouldn't even think about doing these races in an un-tuned car :frown: those guys are all pumping out big BHP...

Well done, I used the 430 scuderia and tunes it to the max. There are a few races you can use the veyron in but it's a tad easy with it.

The turn in just defies belief in it, I can handle the straight line speed but it's knowing when to turn in with it as you seem to be able to turn in REALLY late with it and still not need tons of lock.
