I'm up to level 32, my 6 b-spec drivers are all maxxed at level 40.

Mine keeps breaking after playing it for a month or two, blu ray reader always fails (I'm on my 4th). I only have the prelude version of gt5 is there a lot of difference game/graphic wise between the two, obviously excluding the increase in cars/races etc

poita
3rd July 2012, 09:34 PM
Game wise, heaps! So much more to it.

Graphics are slightly improved from what I can tell

Ok cool I might invest in fixing my ps3 again and getting it then. I have always been a fan of the previous gt games but the only downside was they never had damage. Does the full game have it? Prelude doesn't.

poita
3rd July 2012, 09:46 PM
Only has some minor panel damage, it annoys me too.

Can smash into a wall at 400km/hr and just bounce off it

faneca
3rd July 2012, 10:07 PM
well i guess thats better than none.
its why i like the v8 supercar games on ps2 cos you could lose doors and spoilers and bumpers and all that, made the game a hell of a lot harder trying not to smash your ride.

Anyone done the online events, sports truck races?

Bloody hard

just about finished all the current seasonal events with all gold. just got 3 more b spec races and 1 of each of the time trial and drift ones.

the sports truck race wasn't easy. didn't get into 1st until the last lap on each one. 1 mistake and theres no chance. well at least in the truck i was using. preformance difference was a nice bonus with it though.

Found the right truck to do it in, just have to do the Nurburg in it. Hate that track

hazrd
19th August 2012, 09:12 PM
Ive found the Nurb is easier to drive in a road car. The race cars are just so edgy in the cambered corners

19th August 2012, 09:20 PM
Try it in the Ferrari f1 car. There's a f1 seasonal event that you can use it in

guy 27
19th August 2012, 09:30 PM
just golded the sebasiten loeb challanges. even managed to beat the ghost car on the snow one. :)
figured out the trick to rally events is not to slide the car around and try keep it as straight as possible all the time.

guy 27
19th August 2012, 10:47 PM
just spent the last hour golding the last 3 nascar events. i've had enough of turning left now.

poita

wont the sports truck ones, only to get a car I already have. stupid thing.

It's called the 4200r. You win it by getting all gold in a licence.

20th August 2012, 11:00 PM

Hidden trophy (will get it with the last 24 hour bspec race)

handy site if you want to know whats coming up in the used car dealership and the rarity of the cars

http://gt5cars.net/used_car_searches/new

the used car dealership adds new cars every game day. game days progress every time you see the load screen before a race.
quickest way to get the days to move is to go into any race. open it up till it loads the competitors cars then exit again. do this as many times as you want the days to progress ;)

another update for gt5.


Gran Turismo 5 version 2.08 is now available as a 227MB download and brings with it a number of bug fixes and minor features.

The following is an official changelog, but updates typically include other undocumented changes as well; keep an eye on our Gran Turismo 5 forum as our community uncovers and discusses everything new.

Now possible to select “Disable collisions” in the [Event Settings] of online races.
ID’s are now shown above cars when watching online races.
Response of the clutch pedal when using the steering wheel controllers “G25 Racing Wheel”, “G27 Racing Wheel”, “T500RS” and “TH8RS” has been adjusted.
Rate of tire wear in endurance races has been slowed (excluding formula cars).
Amount of air resistance change when altering aerodynamic wing settings has been increased.
Autopilot has been adjusted to prevent colliding with the wall when exiting the pit lane on the Tsukuba circuit.
Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height. (Vehicle height can be changed by adjusting ride height, either by installing a suspension kit or adjusting a full customizable suspension kit.)

The latest batch of DLC, including the Honda Weider HSV-010, Subaru BR-Z, and Nissan GT-R N24 will become available to purchase in the PlayStation Store when it updates in your local region on Tuesday.

As always, stay tuned in to GTPlanet’s forums for breaking availability information.

Think i may of gotten myself in trouble on the online room i've been playing in the last few weeks.

didn't realise I was always running way under powered cars in the gt500 races. tuned one to the same hp as everyone else and won by 20 seconds. They couldn't believe it so I changed to a car 200hp lower than theirs and still won by 1 second. Owner then closed the room.

nah the noobs always get left behind and leave the room after 1 race.

the guy that hosts the room has made up heaps of tracks for the game. a fair few of them are so much better than any of the main tracks in gt5.

most of the regulars in the room usually finish in the top 500 in the seasonal time trials which is pretty dam good.

17th January 2013, 11:22 PM
I must say, I've been giving the old 360 a flogging of late and getting bored of FM4 and Horizon, so I thought I'd dust off the PS3, which has probably had the GT5 disc sitting in it for a ridiculous amount of time and fire it up. Log in, system update. Okay, not so bad, didn't take as long as they normally do. Restart, go into GT5. Update game to 2.10, okay. Starts off with 380mb update, takes forever, then starts some more updates, one of which almost weighs in at 1.2GB.

Well, F*** ME!!! All I wanted to do was just play the damn game, not update it for 6 hours on end and not be staring at an upgrade screen. Better be worth the wait...

Already did the PS Store update. Funny, official Sony updates are faster than they used to be, but the in game ones are slow as. I look forward to the free DLCs too, although it's not as if GT5 doesn't have enough cars. I think the last time I played GT5 was just before they started with the car packs, etc. Got sick of Phony wanting to update the machine all the time and just spent a bit more time on the Xbox. Although, my 360 is one of those ones you don't want to take online, partly in fear of feeling serious butthurt from MS.

the new tt is doing my head in specifically the brz one
currently in 111th position with a 1.05.428 +00.762
Think I might just leave it at that. Shouldn't slide back too much further.

might see if I can get in the top 200 for the nurb one.

update: 517th on nurb one now. still over 3seconds behind 1st. :eek:

update 2: turns out using a different steering wheel controller you can adjust brake bias. not something I have the ability to do with my setup. its kinda like a legal hack. so with my times I'm even happier with what I've got them down to. seems like all the top players are doing this.

Apparently the car list for GT6 has been revealed. There's an extra 124 cars in there that weren't there before. Personally, I'm not that impressed with it. PD go and add Bathurst in as a track, yet the same Holdens still appear, no VE's or FG's or anything else Aussie. Not to mention a lack of any new Opel models.

Maybe so, but the majority of the older cars have been in there since GT4. And to be honest, I don't see how GT6 is going to be much more than an expensive DLC pack. Yeah, that'll get me some flaming, but as someone who has bought every version of GT on launch day, I'm just a little underwhelmed by what GT6 has to offer. I'd assume a game that is supposed to be as cutting edge as GT is, the content would be a little more up to date. Especially, when they're spruiking the Mount Panorama circuit and the only Aussie cars in the game are an AU XR8 race car, a VY SS and a Monaro, kinda seems pointless for a 2013 game.

chris_r
6th November 2013, 07:29 PM
Problems with porting PS3 games to PS4 will make GT6 on PS4 unlikely as the architectures between both machines are entirely different. As a result, I'd say PD will just focus its efforts on GT7 instead.

Yes, FM may be just a "game", but after all that's what these things are about in the end. Plus, PD are about 6 or 7 years ahead in terms of development in regards to dynamics, but each version of Forza I've played seems to just get better in that regard. It's no GT, but it's probably more appealing to casual gamer than the hardcore.

Yes, I use a controller as opposed to a wheel, but even if I used a wheel, I'd probably get the feeling I would still be shelling out over $100 for just a few updates. Although, given the slow download speeds in updating anything on a PS3, you'd probably save that much in time. The only saving grace from my perspective for GT6, would be if the DLC is a lot better than it was in GT5.

Funny, checking google and I can't seem to find anything that says you can do that. Then again, if you had four consoles to do it, you'd probably need four copies of the same game too to make it all work. There's also a lot of talk going around that XB1 or PS4 won't support 4K either, possibly as a result of devs not wanting to support 4K initially.

I see Turn 10 released the FM5 car list recently. Notable addition: 2012 Vauxhall Astra VXR.

guy 27
9th November 2013, 10:16 PM
they've done it before showing gt5 in 4k using 4 ps3 consoles. ;)

chris_r
9th November 2013, 11:07 PM
Tech demos, surely. But I don't see it being available to the general (cashed up) public. Knowing that the PS3 has awesome abilities to be linked in parallel with other PS3s, a lot of this is beyond the average gamer. 4K TV would cost a heap at present, four consoles (which could be had cheaply), possibly 4 copies of GT5 (again, probably cheap to pick up now) and you'd need some sort of device to allow it to output to a single screen at 4K. If the consoles were arranged in a master-slave type system, you'd be pushing the limits of the single HDMI cable on a console that physically has only a HDMI 1.3 output. Allegedly they updated it to 1.4 through a firmware update, which I believe is possible given both 1.3 and 1.4 only differ in the resolution output. I don't see this scenario happening as one single RSX chip is going to have a fit trying to push out 4K. It has to be a parallel system and this means it'd need something like a multiplexer to make it all happen.

But there's still one thing. Running it in 4K is nothing like it being a true 4K image and that would mean it needs upscaling, as I wouldn't believe the whole game was built around 4K. The tech demo you mention however, was apparently specially coded for 4K. It was also noted by some people, that it did feature a little screen tearing, as to be able to distinguish the fact four machines were running the game.

chris_r
15th December 2013, 07:54 PM
Okay, so I bit the bullet and bought GT6. As I'm on a TPG Unlimited plan, I went and got it from the PSN Store (mistake no. 1, took ages to download 14.3GB). Then I went and tried to play it, well guess what? Yep, another flaming update at 1.2GB. After all that, I was able to get into it and I must say, I am surprised at how much better than GT5 it really is. Vehicle/gameplay dynamics are slightly better (even though I use a controller still), the sounds are starting to get more accurate and the menu layout craps all over GT5. So far I've just finished the novice races and I'm liking some of the new tracks like Brands Hatch and Willow Springs.

And I see they're sneaking in cars through random updates as well, with the new BMW M4 already being added.

I remember when GTAV was released, they had it for $109. got it for $77 from BigW

Typical. GT6 is too much like GT5, too much time downloading updates and not enough time racing. The 1.02 update is out today it seems.

11% complete. I'm taking a guess at 800 hours needed to do every race.
finding load times a little slow but otherwise great game.

As Theo said, they don't. I'm finding them a lot easier than they were in 5. Golding everyone first attempt.

There is a way to get heaps of money easy, well at least there was but it might be fixed now.

Update the game to v.1.01. accept the mercedes vision car. Delete the game data with the update v1.01. Re-load the game, without updating and sell the mercedes - it will be like {2055} or something. Sell it for max credits - 20 million. restart the game and update. Buy 20 of the mercedes vision car, quit game and delete the data again, reaload game and don't update. Now sell one car for max credits and spend. Repeat until you have bought all the cars you want and leave one mercedes in the garage. Restart game and carry out the update and voila! You have all the cars you want and 20 million in the bank :)

I know its cheating but hey, I will never complete it.

the game needs newer Opels though!

I run all my cars around 100pp down to what max allowed is for each event just to make it a bit more of a challange.
