I'm gonna buy this game real soon, since the full GT5 wont be coming till 2010.

Good to hear^

Also, we need to organize an online race for nfsunlimited members, since PAL and NTSC can now play eachother.
We just need to pick a time, and an event, then click 'start race' at the same time.

Edit: Oh yeah, my PSN is in my signature

I got the game about a week ago, finished all of the races except the Ferrari F40 one since i havent bought it yet.

That S-10 event is hard btw, i only managed to get 3rd with the Mine's Skyline R34 GT-R, the first 2 cars are way ahead.

Look what I found on Tanner Foust's car:

Wha? Is real GT5 actually coming out 2010?
It'll probably be delayed further to keep it fresh though with new features.

baumaxx1 · Post by **baumaxx1** » 09 Oct 2008, 02:18

Double... but no 1 would see it otherwise. My update keeps failing... any1 else have trouble? I hope it fixes the penalties though, because I had an AI break too late, run me off the track, I got done for ramming, then I got done for a shortcut getting back on the track and then he ran into me again getting back on and I got done for ramming. >_<

GT5: Prologue Spec III is out, and the cars promised to be added, have been added:

Lotus Evora/Project Eagle - 100,000 cr., 276bhp @ -----rpm, ---- Kw/Nm @ -----rpm, ----kg
Citroen "GT by Citroen" - 1,000,000cr., 778bhp @ ----rpm, -----Kw/Nm @ ------rpm, -----kg
Ferrari California - 300,000cr., can't remember specs sorry

Also some extra things:

- You now earn some extra cash in ALL races
- If you bump a wall in time trial instead of speed limiting, it invalidates your current lap. Too many bumps and it invalidates your NEXT lap as well, as I found out when I was trying to drift my GTR outside Drift Trial

Free download? I have to get my GT update working. Keeps failing for me.

yeah completely free no strings attached. The GT Concept by Citroen looks absolutely stunning in 1080p too

It also sounds like a jet, and its a one gear car.

Meh, my screen only does 1080i... the Full hi def pioneer was about $11,000 when we got it... but I've seen worse picture on cheaper 1080p TVs than ours.

Zero260 · Post by **Zero260** » 23 Oct 2008, 19:30

Whoa! Where have I been? The Citroen GT Concept is downloadable in Prologue?!

I need to get my roommate's PS3 online ASAP.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 23 Oct 2008, 22:54

Yep, sure is. I haven't bought it yet sadly though, not enough cash.

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 24 Oct 2008, 13:05

The Citroen GT Concept is a great car to drive. Bloody fast on main straights, and the interior looks as though it's made from kryptonite. Downside is, it only has one gear (Drive). Oh, and it's impossible to use online, because you have to de-tune it so much to fit the PP limit, it's impossible to navigate around corners

. At least it makes other people think 'wtf?.. Why is he driving that?'.

A quick-tuned Ferrari California is even more fun to drive then the Citroen. It has 7 gears, its quick, and it's very nimble around corners. Not as good looking at teh GT though.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 24 Oct 2008, 14:22

Well since I got my Driving Force GT I can't stop playing this game. I just need to earn enough for an F430 and I'll be right for the rest of the A-class races

baumaxx1 · Post by **baumaxx1** » 25 Oct 2008, 04:11

R35 GTR Pwns.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 25 Oct 2008, 08:42

Yeah actually I totally agree, the R35 absolutely kicks ass. super-fast shifts, insane acceleration, and it's actually the only car I've driven on GT5:P which actually handles BETTER with TCS and ASM off... 50:50 4WD helps too

baumaxx1 · Post by **baumaxx1** » 26 Oct 2008, 07:36

Hey, the quick tune thingo... hopefully that will help me with the capuccino race, because you can't d o1m 39s stock.

And the Corvette was a disappointment... the wheels spin and it oversteers at the top of 3rd and 4th gear going straight.

Koenigsegg_Rox · Post by **Koenigsegg_Rox** » 26 Oct 2008, 11:55

I'm still not quick enough to get gold on ANY of the time trials. The best I managed was a second under silver-time in the M3 on Eiger Nordwand. Also, new favourite car = Ford GT. Can't wait to get the LM Test Car version in black

oh and I got my F430 now, THANK YOU Poly Digital for increasing the prize money for all the races....

EDIT: Scratch the GT, I love the Elise 111R Tuned, or at least quick-tuned to the point of insanity...as it stands mine has 250kW and weighs just under 550kg...I've also geared it for a top speed of about 320kmph, and my god is it freaking nimble after that setup! I can go flat-out, 300kmph+ around the whole Daytona oval, without going anywhere near the wall...

Switch to manual transmission and short shift into fifth gear. In auto, you'll never shift to fifth.

Took me one try once I figured it out.

There are only a few races I haven't gotten gold in. The M3 time trial and Acura RSX Speed Ring race are two that come to mind... I still haven't finished 1st in the F40 race without taking massive shortcuts.

Got 2nd quite a few times, though. Enough times to earn 2,000,000 credits.

@ Koenigsegg_Rox: How can you like the Ford GT?! That car is terrible... Yet to purchase the LM Test Car, though. I will agree that the tuned Elise 111R is one of the funnest cars to drive. I'll drive the crap out of that car, and I still feel like I can get more out of it.

Still need to get the PS3 online.

Hmm... so into 5th? Yeah, I'm a GT purist, so been doing manual no driving aids from day 1. So 5th gear... I've gotten it up to 170 before

I love the Ford GT cause it beats the s*** out of all the S-class cars...it's actually easier to drive (i.e. I can drive it faster) when you have to drop the P.P....kinda sad but anyway.

Woooooooooooooooooot! GT5 Prologue updated without cutting out finally!

It's cool

It's ok, but I'm versing all these noobs because I haven't finished A class in single player >_< (Suzuka Circuit GT all starts... I always blow it somewhere and screw it all up. Manage to get myself in 5th by the second lap, then overtake the R8 by the tight hairpin, and reach the fazza by lap 3, but then somehow blow it because I put too much power on a ripple strip or on the hairpin where there's the turn and braking point my rear steps out >_<) Yeah, I can put my driving aids on, but I'm faster without them... just have to work on not screwing up.

Online though, I can't pick pro driving physics because I can only do beginner... makes it handle less realistically than NFS.

Pro FTW! Hope I get it soon, and make it even worse when I blow those noobs away with no driving aids, them in their autopilot Ford GTs and still messing up. (Overtake on straight of Fuji, I threshold brake at the last moment, they spear right off, I make the bend and win... 14 sec margin by the end... and I screwed up a few times, lol, including when I got up and went to sit on the other sofa because I was watching GT Tv before and needed the snack table.)

Some great news a few days ago from the GTPlanet news section

. Finally a REAL fan got the chance to interview Kazunori, and asked the questions which everyone has always wanted to ask:

http://www.gtplanet.net/kazunori-yamauc ... view-ever/

Full interview:
http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111878

I'll quote a section from the post.

The NÃ¼rburgring Nordschleife will NOT be made available until the full release of Gran Turismo 5.
Kazunori laughed at the notion of a 2010 release date for Gran Turismo 5, and said it will be released sooner than expected.
Polyphony Digital does use online forums and reviews (like GTPlanet) to gather player feedback and impressions of the games.
Private online races are coming, but it may not be until the full game is released.
Yamauchi confirmed the existence of the â€œrubber band effectâ€, and elaborated a bit on its implementation. For example, this performance boost consists of a slight increase in power and grip and is applied when the driver is more than 2 seconds behind the race leader. As you might expect, he cited more competitive online races as justification for the â€œfeatureâ€, which can and is turned off in some events.
While discussing the rubber band effect, Yamauchi mentioned that it will obviously not be enabled for online races which feature qualifying laps, nearly confirming this feature sometime in the future.
Porsche (thatâ€™s rightâ€¦ Porsche) have stated that they do not have a problem with their cars being damaged in the game. Ferrari, however, are being more stubborn and could be a source of delay in damage implementation. Of course, that isnâ€™t consistent with Forza or Ferrari Challenge, which has shown damage on the Italian cars for some time now.
