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.

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:

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?
Title: Re: Gt5 i got mine you got yours
Post by: Jules86 on November 24, 2010, 11:27:53 am
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.

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:

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!)

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.

But this game could make for better online gameplay hopefully.

^^ 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:

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.

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.

'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).

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:

+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:

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:

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:

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?
