Gran Turismo 5

[Rickster922]

When I first heard about GT5 and the way everybody was raving on about it I was always thinking whats the big deal? But today I have just seen the trailers for it and demos and I have to say that the game looks to be graphically promising.

I have never seen a driving game that has so much detail!

I WILL BE BUYING IT LOL!

heres hoping they stick to this date

http://blog.eu.plays...e-announcement/

I ain't even going to bother getting my hopes for that release date, it will probably get pushed back.

Nope, its gone to production. It was only delayed before because they missed the Bluray production window

And a full list of the 1031 cars available HERE

I'm totally getting the Collectors Edition

[TiM!]

Pre ordered

The cancel your pre order for the game only and pre-order the PS3 with GT5 instead

It's what I did, substancial saving too!

[TiM!]

Good deal that. But I'm buying the game and asking for the PS3 for Xmas. Meantime me and my mate can play it on his PS3.

[andyllewellyn]

The first Ps3, the 60GB model, is backwards compatible due to having different hardware to its younger siblings.

I'll be sitting firmly in my Playseat Evo with Logitech G25 whell and Pedals

Here's some pics:

(I still use the Logitech Z 5500 surround sounds set-up, but I view a 40" Samsung 1080p LED TV instead of that 32" 720p LCD now )

The first Ps3, the 60GB model, is backwards compatible due to having different hardware to its younger siblings.

The hardware difference is minimal at best, it was mainly down to the coding.

Only the 20GB, 60GB and 80GB (All discontinued) can play PS2 Games, Sony ditched support for PS2 games in later consoles however because they plan to release all PS2 games (Or at least the most popular ones) on the Playstation store and charge you more money for games you probably have sitting on a shelf somewhere.

All it would take from Sony is a large coding update to enable the features, although support for some games would be limited as some don't take to being run on anything else but the original 60GB or an original PS2.

Geohot (The guy who invented the jailbreak for iPhones) cracked the PS3 sometime ago and enabled the backwards compatibility in a 40GB console which has no native backwards compatibility, hence why PS3 then removed the other OS feature and canned it in order to stop people homebrewing.

They don't want anything stopping them from taking money from gullible people.

As for GT5, looking forward to it, it should be an excellent game, but none of us can be sure if the wait was worth it till its actually out...Roll on the 24th.

Yeah but who wants to be seen in a Renault, you would have to vlack out all the wondiws, and drive around like the stig so none of your m8's see you in one.

[carlcurtis83]

Think I'm gonna pre-order this today...hopefully it will be released now.

Mate, I've driven a Clio Cup Race Car (the ones that are built at the Renault sport factory as race cars for their one make race series which runs along side the BTCC) and I can honestly say its one of the best cars I've ever driven. (I've driven some very fast/good cars too )

The handling was amazing, and full throttle no clutch gear changes on the sequential box (both up and down!) was allot of fun.

Due to its awesome power to weight and fantastic grip and handling I was lapping as fast as much much more powerful 'faster' cars on the track

And you are going to drive one of those around town in Kent?

There is only one thing the majority of people would say seeing one of them being driven around and thats CHAV.

At the end of the day, no matter how much they are dressed up, a Clio is a Clio.

If i had a spare

[GunnersRC]

I have driven a 172 stock, and upgraded, i know they can shift.

Fair play if you like them but i have an irrational hatred of anything French, especially the Clio

[badger906]

So i've ordered this for GT5, does anyone have any tips to set them up to get the best experience out of it? I have a sofa and an armchair so i'm not sure how to set it up?
