Well I have it and it's taking 20 min to upload WTF :fighting: :driver:
-
got mine too and still loading after 15mins lol
-
pick mine up at midday :)
-
They sent mine via sh*tyLink so if I get it at all it will be 3oclock at the earliest.
If it had been Post Office Special Delivery would be here now.
Thats what you get for being a snob and paying for Amazon Prime.
Complained loads of times but they are not interested.
So I will be on later.
-
waiting on the internal postie at work to deliver the amazon parcel, i feel like a kid at christmas
-
The driver on my PS3 is fooked at the min. Need to get it sorted asap..

Mine was the same had a guy in Leeds Fix it for £70 had a new blue ray player installed
-
Depending on how tech you are its an easy home fix with the instructions readily available on 'tinternet.
If mine packs up today I will be out buying a new one within 5 minutes because I bought my PS3 for GT5 all those years ago.
I bought my PS2 on the basis of GT3 (I think) I was working for BAT in Southampton at the time and ventured into Comet where they had a 3 screen set up, I was blown away and bought it on sight. The visuals were amazing with the columns of sunlight streaming through the trees.
You see it now and its not so good but at the time it was stunning.
I am very excited! :jumping:
-
Mine arrived 10 minutes ago, but working for next 4 hours so it is sat there just looking at me...... :booty:
-
Day off wahoo! Going to load it into the console though which takes 50 minutes but worth it to reduce game loading!
-
Got mine......3D GT5 time when I get the time to play with it :jumpmove: :driver:
-
Having only just got a ps3 (hopefully it's waiting at home!) I just wondered what the advantages were to loading the game on to the hd?
-
I played need for speed in bestbuy on 3D and it fecking hurts your eyes after a while, made mine water! Was awesome though!
Advantages are much quicker loading times mate, a review i read said it takes at least a minute if you dont and they counted one map loading at 10 secs after installing.

320GB PS3'S WITH GT5 £255 DELIVERED :wink:
-
320GB PS3'S WITH GT5 £255 DELIVERED :wink:
Not bad when you think my launch console cost me £500 :signLOL:

Same. They were not cheap when they first came out!
-
Was worth it though for the bluray alone! Free copy of Casino Royale :smiley:
-
That's the first two licences done! Need sleep! :indifferent:
Tis fookin immense though! :pomppomp:
-
glad your all enjoying it :happy2:
one word of advice is that you keep a back-up copy of your progress file, as if the game crashes and you have to restart the console it may corrupt the data
which is what happened to me yesterday evening :fighting: :fighting: :sad1:
had to start all over again :rolleye:
-
320GB PS3'S WITH GT5 £255 DELIVERED :wink:
Top price - £20 cheaper thean Amazon...
-
Picked mine up earlier from Tesco £35. Its installing as i type only 15mins left to go :fighting:
-
Wahoo! All installed, quick arcade race in an R8 to whet my appetite!! Awesome!! :jumpmove:
-
They better update the car list. 10 different skylines but no S3, R32, MK6 GTI, Golf R, Seat leons, Skoda's, Focus RS, FN2 type r.
Its gt4 with nicer graphics (although the shadows are awful!)

Yeh because I'd rather be driving all those than a Mercedes SLS :stupid:
-
I am seriously thinking about buying another ps3 (sold the last one after getting bored waiting for this stupid game) just for this game. What's it like I comparison with forza3?

+1, how does it compare with Forza?

More technical I would say, and it feels as though there is more depth to it. Yes obvious graphical awesomeness!! :notworthy:
-
It's ace and when in the go karts you can see his feet moving :driver: the replays are spot on too even my 3 year old is playing it :driver:
-
But the question still stands. How does it compare to Forza?
-
It's better
-
I'm not overly convinced by it at the minute, sure the graphics are pretty good, but i thought all the fuss with regards to delays was about damage to cars? At the minute I've been driving Pagani's, mx5's into walls as nothing seems to be happening....
And, I can't stand the minicab office style music.
-
It's better
Is that you just saying or have you played back to back. :laugh:
-
My sons in a mk5 Gti at the mo and he has smashed it up :signLOL: front end is bent

i think he bent it :signLOL:
-
if you want better crash footage then need for speed is mega for that as i have smashed up some very expensive cars on that :rolleye:
-
The driver on my PS3 is fooked at the min. Need to get it sorted asap..

Good news that Mat, as I thought it may cost more TBH. Will get it sorted asap. In the mean time i've got my mate heading round mine tonight with his PS3 and GT5 to give it some hammer.. :jumping:
Looking forward to doing some laps of the Top Gear track.. :laugh:
-
Got mine, for those that havent already got one, you must get the logitech driving force GT wheel and pedals, totally transforms the game!
-
I've had it for 19 hours almost to the minute and I'm only JUST able to sit down and play it now! Damn work :fighting:
Buzzing like a bee on honey cocaine though! :laugh: :pomppomp:

Yeah because you can use the SLS for fwd and hatch competitions :stupid:
-
im finding the 2nd special event at the top gear track really annoying!!!! Thought the elise was suppose to handle!!!!
Any body else tried it?
-
Has anyone done all the licenses yet? ive got A and B, think its time to do some Racing :evilgrin:
-
Erm just bought a ps3 and early impressions say let down.
I think forza is better.
But this game could make for better online gameplay hopefully.
When does online play go active?
-
These F**king loading screens are a p!ss take, why so looooooong :confused:. Yes i did spend 20mins backing it up aswell :rolleye:
-
not sure about the online thing, but if you go to community then click on your friends you can play them, just had mat a game and lost!!! how about a mk5golf forum game? loads of cars online too. username is jhtrophy41, add me i got 1 friend :signLOL:

Oh my apologies for not reading through the lines and realising that's what you meant! :stupid:
There's a thousand cars on there and all you do is spend time looking for whats NOT there? I just don't get it sorry Jules? Plus if you want to drive in an S3 there's one outside! :laugh: :wink:

I dunno dude, alot of these cars where in all the previous Gran turismo games, and I played those to death, I want to drive cars I lust after today not ones I lusted after 10 years ago and already drove loads.

Well I've only done the licenses up to now but so far I've driven, New Impreza Sedan, Honda CRZ, etc and I'm sure there are more? Maybe I'm the one who's being picky? :rolleye:
-
whats your user Nath? get online, way better than driving around in crzs! :signLOL:
-

^^ I agree with you on this, though it oozes quality everywhere else. I expected to be blown away but the software market has moved on, so my expectations were probably a little too high TBH. That may sound a little negative but it's not meant too. I really don't care about damage on the cars as I play in the view with only the dials visible, and I like the replays with the cars intact. All the things that I enjoyed with GT4 are there, just amplified and so much better. I've only done the B licences and a couple of the beginner race series, but not sorry to admit that I'm hooked all over again!! :grin:
-

Yup :ashamed:
The Orange SLS is awesome though! :laugh:
-
Yeah pretty pleased with all the gimmicks :signLOL:
Not so happy with the game though, its gonna be a grower i feel. Like others said its a bummer driving ae86 corollas and the like but im sure itll be worth it when i make to le mans. Fingers crossed anyway!
-
Added you pov and jhtrophy but god knows how to set up a game, i think the online side is an after thought when coming from MW2. Suppose you'll get used to it.
Anyway back to my turbo charged civic type r and the clubman cup :evilgrin:
-
I've been trying to find the signature edition but can't. :sad1:

I'll agree with that i had a quick look online earlier and i just couldnt work it out :stupid:
-
Had a quick blast this morning before work and love it, forgot how enjoyable yet frustrating the licences are! As for the lack of cars, I'm almost certain they're will be a download pack available before too long!
-
Greeners Poverty & JHtrophy Ive added you all.
So when we going to have a forum game then?
I think ive sussed out how to do it :grin: :grin:
-
I had another look earlier but still none the wiser :ashamed:

Well saved up some credits and went from an old civic type r (the on before the ep3) to a fully loaded GTR V Spec with everything from the tuning shop including 36,000 credit tyres :rolleye:
Sh!t the bed its fast, especially off the line, i was in 1st from 7th before the others had even got out there starting box :evilgrin:

Ive got a TTS at the moment. closest thing to a TTRS.
Lambo Murci SV next for me!
-
I had another look earlier but still none the wiser :ashamed:
Go into lounge or whatever its called then set up a room. When you have set one up with the track etc send the room number via message to everyone you want to invite. All they have to do then is go into the lounge then search for the room number.
Still havnt worked out how you just go and play online though.

still waiting on Amazon to deliver, feel im missing out :sad: :sad:

Did anyone on here buy the signature edition?
Or just me that got mugged at Game :signLOL:
I'm officially crazy. Got the signature edition from Game today.
Don't know whether I should use the wallet (I need a new one!), or whether I should return everything to the box and keep it tucked away.
Real pee-take having to clear 10GB disc space. Deleted stuff I haven't bothered with in years. Also deleted GT5:P as this alone took up 5GB! Plus there was a 133MB update after putting the disc in! :fighting: Must upgrade the HDD when I get the chance.
Apparently, ten minutes left of install time. Somehow I disagree.
-
so why are you crazy??
-
I spent £130 on a game. £130. I could have bought three games from joesgti for that money!

It's a nice special edition though, you get alot of gubbins. If I had spare money I would have gone for that one.

which version did you get??! im selling thye collectors edition for £55. i cant even find the 'signiture edition..'
-
'signiture edition..'
Depends on what you're searching for - I don't know what signiture is but you might have better luck using signature. Having said that, common misspellings means some listings on egay get missed by normal searches.
As far as I can tell, only GAME have it in stock (instore and online).

if i were you id be tempted to hold onto that and keed it packaged, then buy the game seperate, as that will be worth some money in a few months time!! :happy2:

I've got a bit of a headache!!!! :driver:
B and A tests done and a bit of Karting - all in glorious 3D :jumpmove:
Now I know why I bought the 3DTV :happy2:

How sh*t are the Vw campers around tge top gear track??? Boring!!

Absof**kinglutely gobsmackingly brilliant :happy2:
It literally adds a whole new dimension to the game :laugh:
Porn and console games is what the 3DTV was invented for :signLOL:
-
How awesome is it driving the 1954 300sl coupe around the Nordschliefe? Absolutely glorious!!
-
I got mine yesterday but have only just got a chance to play it now. Got myself sat down with a beer to finish the week off only to find that the update is going to take 95 mins!!
Crap internet round my way :sad1:
Matt
-
I ended up with 2 copies. Don't ask :laugh:
I've had an hr or 2 on it so far, getting a proper go in a min :smiley:
My thoughts so far... graphically, it looks fantastic in places but also looks 5 years old in other parts. The standard cars look like they've been copied across from gt4, shadows are shocking and i cant help looking at the rear lights on the cars, they look awful.
Positives, it feels superb, a real sense of achievement when you hit the perfect line. I'm looking forward to wasting 4 hrs on it this evening :happy2:
-

:signLOL: you want to try driving one for real :signLOL: but then again go in one that will do the qtr in 13 secs or less :scared: :evilgrin:
-
How sh*t are the Vw campers around tge top gear track??? Boring!!
I keep hitting the other vans or steering too quickly into corners as I'm not used to how slow im going, boring isnt the word :sick:
-
Not had much chance to play but not managed to find the full Nurburgring? Anyone? :confused:
-

+1 your going that slow you think "surely i wont have to brake for this corner" next thing "Bang" disqualified start again ffs. :indifferent:
Done the merc events all on silver but i think a full lap of the nurbugring perfect to get gold is gonna be a mission for sure :fighting2:
-
With the B spec races guys, why do you have to watch a driver race for you? I wanted to start at the bottom and work up so tried these first, but it's boring as fack watching someone else race :confused:
I've since hit the A spec races but why would they put a watch feature in the game at the lowest level? Doesn't exactly give you a basic driving experience!
Have I not done something? I've done the first three licenses so it's not that :confused:
-
Not had much chance to play but not managed to find the full Nurburgring? Anyone? :confused:
If you go to special events and choose the amg challenge then you will do the ring in four stages in merc 300sl coupe with a chance to win medals and good cash, if you complete the four stages then you get to race the whole track against other mercedes cars from an aclass to black amg
Funnily enough completing that challenge does not un-lock the ring, i believe you have to reach level 13, will let you know shortly as i am at level12 at the mo :happy2:
-
When you complete the second level of AMG challenges in the SLS the Ring gets unlocked for practice :happy2:
-
No car damage!!!
Why dont Ps3 make it more realistic!!.
Graphically its as good as Forza 3 but nothing new. :sad1:

Have you tried the Lotus challenge on the Top Gear track, that is really frustrating...
Not sure i'm sold on this game yet when I compare to F1 it just does not feel as clean and fresh, although enjoying a driving a fully tuned mk5 gti :grin:
-
I RTFM in the end.
Does anyone actually play B-Spec?! Seems a waste of time to me :confused:
-
How do you race on the topgear test track in anything other than the camper van?! Tried searching for the track on arcade but can't find it. Do you have to unlock it or something?
