Grand Turismo 5 - PS3

[cklwilliam]

Any GT fans here?

Pre- ordered for my self already :headbang

[Roconne]

I'll be picking it up Day 1 as well. Been a fan of the GT series since it first came out.

Do you have your own wheel setup? I wish I could get one, but I unfortunately don't have a good enough spot to mount and use it.

planing to get a PS3 just for GT5

[Takumi616]

Can't wait! Not sure if I want to pre-order it, the collectors edition looks interesting, but where are the details!?


Pics of my G25 setup is coming.

Collectors edition details - http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/d5232.html

I will probably pass on that. I have yet to buy a collectors edition and probably wont start now.

+1 on the pics of your setup. Hopefully between now and the time of release I can figure out a way to get something setup.

[WingZero_]

Definitely going to get it.

The CE would be alot more unique if, say, the Gullwing SLK was the die cast, not the GTR, its nice, no doubt, but its dime-a-dozen.

I ordered the collectors edition for $99 and its so worth it, the GTR model car by kyosho is worth $40-45 alone. Gamestop.ca has it for pre-order for a long time now go and get it.


Check out the lastest offering from TGS 2010

[stillmatic]

i might just have to get a ps3 + racing wheel for this.

[jonjon72]

Finally! One of the main reasons I picked up the PS3! Definitely a day one purchase!

[Roconne]

Did any of you guys compete in that time-trial competition they had some months back?

[Thrizzl3]

im still hooked on GT and GT2 lol i have beat those before i move on

[dragons4life]

Did any of you guys compete in that time-trial competition they had some months back?


I did, Yeah the difference between the Tuned Fairlady Z and the Stock Fairlady Z were like day and knight....i was in the 200's out of 1000+ for tuned and like in 300s with the stock..stock car was a challenge.

[dragons4life]

im still hooked on GT and GT2 lol i have beat those before i move on

You need to beat 3&4 afterwards =D.

[xxSlidewaysxx]

wonder if they'll give the bonus like they did on 4....if you had save data from3 you got extra cash at the beginning....

[WingZero_]

You need to beat 3&4 afterwards =D.

I wouldn't even bother with 3, and 4 wasn't much better. IMO 2 was the best. Used cars, body kits for everything, etc.

Do you have your own wheel setup? I wish I could get one, but I unfortunately don't have a good enough spot to mount and use it.

I'm actualy planning on getting the g27 , thinking of how to mount it tho, thought of getting a car seat and do some DIY hahahaha.

[cklwilliam]

the collector package gives u 5 downloadable cars and a 1:43 (i think ) GTR ,

[crono06]

Oh god, gotta pre-order the CE tomorrow...

[PCLoadLetter]

Anybody ever play GT for PSP? How was it?

I own PSP but it's collecting dust right now, maybe this will help me pull it back out.

[thanu31]

cant wait, going to get the special edition GT5 PS3 bundle:)

I have that same wheel. Just looking for a way to mount it for living room use. What is it you're using there coriolis?

It's called the Xlerator Wheel Stand (http://www.xwstands.com/)

I wanted something that could be easily stored, and while its still kinda bulky, I can easily store it to the side. If I had my own man-cave(lol) I'd get a Playseat Evolution :)

[taz4432]

Got the Collector's Edition on order - express shipping. Woooo! =D


On a sidenote - FFXIV anyone? I'm tempted to pick it up for PC but I have not enough time or money for all this =(

[JSI]

+1 lol

+2

With Halo Reach and F1 2010 out today I will have a lot to get finished before GT comes out. Then I will be hooked to that for a long time.

[hit26k]

can't wait for this to come out!!! I can finally dust off the ps3. How long has this been in production for. lol

[Ex-Rolla]

I CANNOT wait for this game!!!!!!

[Roconne]

can't wait for this to come out!!! I can finally dust off the ps3. How long has this been in production for. lol6 years apparently. Problem is, Kazunori is a fricken perfectionist and wont release something until it is absolutely perfect in his eyes. If he doesn't like something, he would sometimes just completely scrap the whole thing and make his guys start over.

its been that long!?!?!?!?!? damn....can't blame the guy for wanting to please the fanbase/audience.

[crono06]

It better blow my pants off. It was one of the reasons why I purchased a PS3.

[humansoul]

where can we pre-order this?

[dragons4life]

Got to Gamestop.ca to pre-order the Collectors edition...the GT-R by kyosho is worth $40-45 alone..so its worth it.

6 years wasn't too bad considering he released prologue back in 2007, so its only a 3 year wait lol.....but then again i had other games that kept me going till now.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

I guess I should get this lol

[dragons4life]

I guess I should get this lol


No, its not a should but a MUST!!! lol.

[Roconne]

We'll need to organize some TM3 races once this comes out.

[dave2010GT]

Already pre-ordered special edition completed prologue and have just been sitting here waiting

[cklwilliam]

[dragons4life]

cant wait til it comes out

[Thrizzl3]

looks tempting but im still hooked on forza...i wonder what will sell me to get it...

[Lummix]

While i know i'll be flamed for this...I'm so glad that some one has finally been able to get the NASCAR contract away from ea sports and their concept of "simulation." Maybe it will be as good as the old sierra/papyrus or the new iRacing games.

[Roconne]

looks tempting but im still hooked on forza...i wonder what will sell me to get it...32 player, online go-kart races... Come on, you know you want to do that.

no ones gonna flame u..i really wanted to know how driving a nascar around a oval feels like lol.

[coriolis]

Just be careful, if you try to turn right, your vehicle will implode.

[ericssonfan]

I remember playing the first GT on PsOne. Been waiting forever for this. Played GT 5 Prologue and that left so much more to be desired. I wonder how much different it will be since it's been years since we got a taste of GT in the prologue version.

[DruidB]

32 player, online go-kart races... Come on, you know you want to do that.

You need to visit the official forums... No Go carts... only 200 car interiors. And if its the same physics as Prologue it will be a serious turd. I will be waiting and renting it first... I honestly dont see this touching Forza 3. All this talk of 1000 cars... anyone serious about a driving simulator uses the in car view...

[Roconne]

Prologue and GT5 are completely different games though. They did not just build off Prologue, they actually started over and built it from scratch so there are all new physics. Even if you played the GT Time-Trials earlier this year, it was already WAY different than prologue and that was a REAL early build of GT5.

Where did you see that there are no go karts? From Aug 19th - http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/d5297p3.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHx-eDMEz2Q&feature=related

And you are only partially right about the 200 car interiors. They will have 200 exact replica interiors for certain cars. The rest of the cars will just have the standard interior views, they wont be exactly the same as the real life version of the car. Don't know why you would think you can't use the interior view for 800 cars...

[dragons4life]

Should read this interview that was done recently http://www.gtplanet.net/tgs-interviews-yamauchi-talks-standard-cars-damage-gt6-more/

[MAZDA Kitten]

OMG Finally!!!!!!!

I must have missed the release of the Cart info... I read it would be DLC... However the fact that only 200 premium cars will have interiors is correct and will be an EPIC Failure for sim fans with wheels such as myself.

Looking good, but where are you putting the shifter attachment and, what program did you draw this with? Would you be making this out of wood, steel, aluminum, a combination of materials or...? Also, it might be worthwhile to make an addition that hooks onto the seat that way everything is essentially 1 solid piece when in use and there's no risk of movement during 'intense gameplay'. I assume you'll be holding the the arms of the base fixture to the support with some sort of ball lock pin. You'll definitely want the fit of the pin to be VERY snug in the holes so that there's no movement/play in the setup.

Now that is a gaming chair.

Getting the game release day, now the ps3 will be more than a blu ray/netflix player.

oh , the shift i was thinking making something that connects to the side of the seat, if the doesnt work, just gonna put it beside the support.

yah, i was thinking putting an extra piece to hook under the chair to add stability as well. probably gonna make this out of wood

http://berserk.org/gt4/
im probably gonna use the same nuts and bolt as this guy... it should work fine ?


i used sketchup to draw this, pretty simple to draw, took about an hour an half.

[shu5892001]

Just placed my order on collector's edition and express shipping!!! :headbang

Is there anywhere in the GTA that sells racing seats like the Playseat Evolution or similar as opposed to online ordering?

Sadly no, Smoketronics is the only Canadian dealer and they don't have a B&M store.
