OMG I gotta see what happens here. 6.00 already? Seems like ofw is needed in the near future...
Nice job, Sony, anyway.
Ive just downloaded it then,
It appears to be the same, a few additions including the theme options have changed.
Arch gave me this link of an article showing that Gran Turismo PSP, will be a game with Full 60 FPS, have a look at the Video on the link,

I'm so gonna get this game! It looks totally NoS worthy don't it? :)
Just one q??? is it playable in online infrastructure mode? or ad/hoc only?
Only ad-hoc.
NoS?
Yep just ad-hoc. I thought that Arch mentioned this before somewhere.
I did. But anyway, games mostly don't come with infrastructure option, which is a shame. Only fps and action games come with one.
I must have been baked when I read it first time :D Selective conscience and all that jazz :D
You high atm Ace?
Nah, not getting high til next week. I'm fasting. Haven't been high for a few weeks now :) Ramadhan provides me with the perfect opportunity to detox and re-correct my tolerance in this regard!
I'm so lucky I don't suffer withdrawal symptoms like some ganja schmokers :D enjoying the clarity, actually!
So, to treat myself - I'm gonna get HD/Fury and Gran Turismo next month, hopefully! :rock
FWIW, Gran Turismo PSP has gotten surprisingly low scores in recent reviews on major sites :(

So is there an Time Trial community associated with Gran Turismo? This seems like an area where a portable version of the franchise can still shine. The major complaints about it have related to the lack of online and lack of career mode.
Theres alot of stuff to cram into those Tiny UMD's Frances. I think the reviewers where expecting a GT4 or GT2 sized game with all the same career modes n stuff. But the PSP version has a different approach from what ive seen on the video's. Still Gran Turismo PSP is a great addition for the Portable gaming world, and long over due as well.
Ive got a Uni mate who is on Ramadhan atm, i like to say to him would you like a slice of pizza that im eating. Which is a meatlovers pizza with bacon on it. (Yes Kigo is a bit of a **** in real life too;). But all in good faith. He cant eat during the day along with any drinks as well.Quote:

well, thats GT5 scored off my to-buy list.
What a joke/crap score :-
At the first sight I'm a little disappointed, there's practically no game in it. Pretty bad graphics, but they run at awesome 60 fps. I remember when I was playing GT2. I played it for months, even that it had the worst graphics ever.
Also, there's some useless time-dependent shop, what's that?... :(
Limit of 4 cars per race = hmm, not that good...
There's just too much cars...what do I need 800 cars for?...
Drift Trial? Ha!
OK, I don't want to haste with the decision. If I'll have an opportunity to "try" the game, I'll definitely do it. Or at least I need to see more previews and reviews of this game. I'm not spending $30 on some crap. :/
**** the reviewers,
Best to try this game before before we all judge it :D
That's what I say mate!!! Its' playability must be worth it surely!!! :rock
(besides - I thought you didnt have to buy games - ever!!!)Quote:

Um, doesnt make any sense coz how can you say you aren't gonna buy it if you havent even tried it yet??? I thought you get the games first (via dubious means) then if you like em, you buy em right??? Well, Gran Turismo for PSP gets a release in like 9 or 10 days so um... Ahem, are you saying you've played it already???
Sure thing, I never buy games if I didn't play em for some time first. I'm not wasting my money. :)
No, I never tested GT. I will, if I'll have a possibility.
Ah, cool!!! I'm just excited about another racing game, and like you - I am hoping it's not a "let down" Arch!
Yeah, we need more racing games on the PSP for sure! Good ones too!!! :)
Polyphony Digital have never made a **** game, ever....
So its safe to say that Gran Turismo PSP is a good investment:)
}points at GT3 A-spec{
Not neceSSarily bad in an absolute sense, but definitely one of my non-favourites.
Nothing is 'safe to say'/'guaranteed true for everybody'.
Yeah, KIGO, but there seems to be too much "portable" in it, means no Carreer mode! Just TT (which is enough ^^) and some SR mode with a (stupid) depend-on-day car shop... I'd like a GT2 style of game. Still, if the gameplay is the same, this might make a good game. But to even buy it? Heh...
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec was a disappointment to a few, reason being, it had much less cars and tracks than the previous Gran Turismo 2 title on the original Playstation, due to it being on the PS2, not the PSX, and it took longer to do all of the car and track renderings. GT3 was a good game, it was the first Gran Turismo to have in game weather effects, like the saturated Special Stage Route 5 City Track. Even the Prologue and the Concept GTs have been good, since you always get newer cars to try and drive in. The effort the guys do at Polyphony Digital are epic say the least. Gran Turismo PSP is going to be a great addition to the Gran Turismo games, and a first, since its on a portable system.
Buy the game Arch, i want to race you online soon too:)
That wasn't the reason it was a disappointment to me; my reason for disliking it was the physics engine, which seemed unrealistic, the cars seeming insufficiently sensitive to control inputs, not balanced the same way in their handling as real cars are, and feeling slow and unexciting to drive.
Heh, if it won't have a kai problem like Dissidia, I'll be able to race sometimes when I get home for the weekend from uni. :) Looking forward to it.Quote:

Something to look forward to after sleeping through all of the Uni lectures :D. Or you could do it at Uni if the campus has wireless setup like mine:)
Hehe, you can't get kai working on uni's wireless. :P ;) You can't even access internet from psp there (I can't).
Here's some quality review of a soon-to-arrive PSP Go! http://pspupdates.qj.net/Watch-PSP-G.../49/aid/134583
I won't diss it anymore, it's already dissed itself when it was born. :lol
No camera, smaller screen, no umd, VERY UGLY, enough reasons not to get it. :lol
I thought it looked ok - but the fact that the screen is smaller is just too suckey for the price. That pause button feature is quite handy though!!
Definitely not worth the price they are asking for imo!!!
I actually *like* the idea of the smaller screen because it will mean the graphics look brighter and sharper-- as a comparison, the game boy micro bests the GBA SP unit IMHO in terms of overall game appearance.
I am pretty worried about the ergonomics of the PSP go... it doesn't look especially comfortable to hold. For me, that's a major consideration for games like Wipeout but probably much less of a factor for RPGs and adventure games.
The graphics sharper? Aren't they super shaaaarp enough on a regular PSP? (nvm, I know what you mean. ;))
My concern is that even though the graphics will be sharper, my eyes will strain more to see everything on an even smaller screen - I know the PSP Fat, Slim and 3000 screens are the same size but that really is the smallest size I'm willing to go for - that's just me personally.
And truthfully, this is speculation until I actually play with one myself. Who knows? I might actually like the thing? :)
New Gran Turismo Portable review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mGYx0XxQy0
Not so promising and worth the money...
Despite what I've hear I'll probably still get it. Mainly just to help feed my hunger for Gran Turismo 5. And also to take the DeLorean for a spin ;)
**** it, im still buying the game,
Ill give you my honest opinion of the game in one weeks time, since it is available from the Thursday :)
