Anyone know of a good UK place to order the collectors edition?
Best Buy had it for less than £50, but appear to be sold out.
Cheapest reputable sellers I can find are all around £60...pricey-as.
You can buy it from amazon.uk and play.com for 60 pounds.
I have pre-ordered the CE from play.com and they sent it to me last Friday night.
I don't expect it to arrive until Friday or early next week tbh... :(
The posting takes ages from play.com, i prefer game.co.uk by far but they didn't have the CE, only the SE which they don't post outside UK...:|
But hey it's GT5, i waited so long, a few more days won't kill me! :g
See you on tracks online everyone! :)
Join the GT group!
You know you want to :nod
It's a bit bare at the moment, I'll sort it out on Wednesday after my exams have finished :)
2 days! Getting it at midnight at TESCO -_^
may i suggest you guys a dream car eh eh? lambo murcielago superveloce fully tuned + aerodynamic stuffs & carbon parts 8)8):g OMG that's awesome, too bad I've to go bk to work right now
what's the car customisation system like? Is it more in-depth than GT4's?
I don't wanna wait another 3 days :(
customization really looks like GT4, and you can also buy some aerodynamic parts at the car wash shop (you can paint your car too with acquired paint colors, or buy/paint the wheel rims). So it's great stuff, really.
@kanar: Yeah it is, but it's a little bit Forza-ish, if you ask me, seeing as how I don't even wanna bother adding parts on my cars, since they'll look horrid :|. IMO, tho.
Right, I've injected some life into the Gran Turismo Group with some new threads etc... :)
Get joining, then get posting ^_^
GT5 + Negative reviews = :brickwall
The reviewers just have Gran Turismo a really bad name. PD worked many years for this! PD should be able to solve everything by adding more interior views for all cars and fix the Course Maker, improve driver AI, instead of having to hear the reviewers complain about this game. Have they ever heard of the words "deal with it" :|?
Course Maker?:hyper Possible to make something like Syncopia on the Eifel (Circuit) Theme since it says"Ups and Downs"? Would be interesting to see cars(especially supercars) racing in a pseudo-Syncopia.
Was it really like when HD came out, or was it when the individual patches were released?And how good is it? Since it's the school holidays over here,I may be getting that.Quote:

This game is full of menus!
The song 'Climax' is by 'Camo & Krooked' and not by 'Camo & Crooked'
lol@GT5
I must say I've only done the B Licence but I am LOVING this game so far :hyper
Is it worth buying if I'm not a veteran of previous games, I'm sure I'll never buy a wheel and will be only using pad, I'm not a "complete realism and physics woot" maniac, but I only want to have a racing rame with great graphics (mfw I see Premiums: http://www.ppa.pl/forum_ppa/smileys/dribble.gif ) and lots of stuff to do?
Or should I stick with Grid, Shift and buy new Hot Pursuit? :g
The last Gran Turismo game I played on a console is Gran Turismo 2. Is Gran Turismo more realistic? And is the Nurburgring *locked by default or is it something else?
*I asked Xtriko:g
I've not had a huge amount of time with it - having done just a handful of races, but completed my A & B licenses. The handling is good and the cars look great for the most part, but the menus are horrendous and there are some really, really stupid game design decisions in there.
They've really embarrassed themselves by having that VW camper "race" on the Top Gear test track so early in the game. It showcases the primitive AI and the rigid confinement placed around the human player. The AI campers - a vehicle I loathe anyway - can ram you off the circuit for instant disqualification because the AI has terrible awareness, yet try the same jostling yourself and it's instant disqualification. They can plough through the cones with total abandon, but clip one yourself and it's instant disqualification. That's just pathetic game design.
It's the same with the karting - something I was looking forward to, but the handling model is useless and the races just aren't any fun. The only real reason for doing them is the stupidly high number of credits you get for doing so.
I've played GTR2 races with 6 humans and 20+ AI cars on track and the AI is far more realistic than than GT5's.
The menu system is over a decade out of date - well demonstrated if you just power your way through all the B licenses and come back to your home screen to have to go through the clunky process of opening each car you've been awarded. Accepting the car (as if you can reject it), confirming that you've accepted it, confirming the confirmation of accepting the confirmation of accepting, watching a wanky unveil movie for the car that shows you just the front end of it, confirming that you've seen the front end of it, confirming that no, you don't want to use the 60BHP shopping trolley you've just been awarded, then going back to the home screen to repeat the process for the other two cars.
It's just tedious - as is the process of getting into the actual gameplay. So many screens, so much loading. I'd wager that the actual time spent on making the game has been about two years all together, with the other three years spent watching the thing load.
However, the saving grace is the handling model and the sheer variety of events. The driving feels great, even with a dual shock. If they can fix the front end and improve the AI (not that they've demonstrated any ability to deliver decent AI in the past) then they'd have just about the perfect driving game on a console, but if the game review sites were being brutally honest GT5 should be a 7/10 tops in its current state.
I do hope this is the very last time Polyphony are allowed to get away with this, though.
If Criterion turned round one day and said "You know what? We've done games with shortcuts and ludicrous crashes to death - we're going to do a SIM, now." They'd hand Polyphony their arses on a platter and do it inside 18 months, too - not five bloody years.
