Got it today!!!!!!!
Not played yet though.

How do you do the download so load times are faster?

sexy_gt · 25th November 2010, 17:22

this 8gb of download... where do i find that? i had to do an update from the disc the 1st time i played the game but downloaded nothing else. took no more than 5 minutes.

also not being able to sit inside all the cars sucks. i thought this was why it was held back so long. id give it 6/10 after 2 hours playing it.

why do the cars sound so shit?

EDIT-- FOUND LARGE 50 MINUTE DOWNLOAD!!!

First impressions after only working through 1st license...

Feel like I'm 14 again!

Very reminiscent of GT1

Could do with your thoughts overall on the game and on specific bits...

Exactly same situation here Ads.
Said I'd only get a PS3 when GT5 come out and if it was good or not.

I was similar to Aly + Adsayer, got a slim ps3 just under a year ago I reckon. Only have two games for it and they were bought cause they were on offer (GTA 4 at £10 and COD MW2 at £20). Been ooking forward to this, but havent even completed Gran Turismo 5 so think i'll wait till the fuss dies down and get it when its cheaper.

GTFO

Im a big forza fan but this is a totally different type of game forza is more pick up and play arcadey whereas this has licences and everything to do first so people are put off by the time it takes to get into it.

CaptainYid · 25th November 2010, 22:02

I'm really fucked off with it 2bh... Terrible loading times and I bought it under the illusion the saxo was part of the 1000 car list.

Predator_R32^p · 25th November 2010, 22:16

Remember there will be updates guys so i imagine they will have to test cars and find out there handling and performance charateristics then add them

Am sure they do the same with forza

Suggest a car to them and they will do it

not gonna lie... looks like sony won't be getting my hard earned mucho-muchos judging by what I'm reading.

RAFkev · 25th November 2010, 22:24

After playing a bit more this evening...

If I had an xbox and forza - I wouldn't go buy a ps3 just for this game.
However - if I had a ps3 already, this game is a must and worth all £37!

-Jason- · 25th November 2010, 22:33

Im really liking it atm, If I want to play online or have a quick race then forza is it but for realism and looks this wins hands down, and as its only been out for a couple of days the issues will be worked out.

Sayer, it is very good watch the videos as apose to listening to people on here.

RAFkev · 25th November 2010, 22:49

For those put off by the incar or lack of in all cars, look at it this way. Games like shift have around 50 cars, not in as much detail. GT5 has 200 highly detailed cars that you can go in, plus the 800 others.

They are planning updates to help with any problems. Also to add more and more cars.
I believe they are going to take time on new cars and put them as premium ones so you can go incar.

Sounds arent as bad as I was expecting. Obviously they arent all going to be perfect.
If you watch a replay you can hear the sounds properly, which is where the work has gone in, the car drives towards you and you hear the engine noise loudest, as it passes this switches to exhaust noise.
Very good, incar the sounds are muffled and you hear a combo of exhaust and engine noise. I think a lot of people are mistaking this for being the wrong sound for the car as expecting just exhaust noise.

The handling is very much improved, actually requires you to control the cars properly.
Fwd cars tend to understeer, the civic and swift i have do anyway. Also as you increase power handling reacts to that too.

Been waiting for this game for 6 years, even defected to xbox while I waited, which now sits in a cupboard.
SO far would give it a 8/10. Its never going to be perfect but its by far the best game of its type on the market.

Should also go on GT planet and check out pictures and videos on there

You also lose quality when putting vids online its a lot better in real life

As soon as you put the game in it asks if you want to install.

If you said no to that just go to options > all the way to the bottom > Miscellaneous Tools > Pre Install Data

mrorange2 · 26th November 2010, 09:41

After playing the game for a while i'm mixed on it now some parts are great (Karting) and some parts are not so good (Loading times and No brake upgrades WTF). But its still a great game just hope some updates come out soon for the loading times as its a killer. (Yes i have installed the 8gb's of data).

Can anyone tell me how to turn the damage on i cant find it anywhere and all this bouncing off walls is pants.

johnlambert · 26th November 2010, 09:48
