Ekona Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Might as well, and you'll be a hero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 You really should do the install - it takes a long time 45-60 mins i believe otherwise it has to load each car / track the first time it sees it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I am hoping mine will be here tomorrow ...... My boss has had his son's copy delivered today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Received my copy today, watched the startup in full, kinda odd beginning but can see it's meaning a little further on. The detail is stunning, just loading 8gb of data to the hard drive very slow. Apparently it will load the tracks quicker! Review of gameplay a little later. Only 15 mins of loading left to wait. Ho hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Lollerskates I'm so hoping there's a hidden Failbus in this game somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 There is no reverse gear on a kart surely??? Funny vid though. Just doing my B license but working on gold trophies so that I don't have to go back but excited to get in the game. First car purchased a second hand 60k miles MX5 I have noticed a fault with the game. In the parts area there's no icon to................ Wait for it................

rob d Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 aaaaarrggghhh ! The Mrs has bought me a logitec wheel and GT5.........for Christmas !!!! ' you can have it now, but then you wont have a present for christmas'. Bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Okay I've done some karting, enjoyed, then some NASCAR, then with all the money I'd earnt I went shopping. You'll Never guess what I bought..... Okay so it was obvious a Zed of course. Details of the car are perfect even the startup of the engine etc. I've been practicing on the F1 track at Nurburgring and managed a time of 2:27 although cheated a little as I purchased a few things with the spare cash. Induction, suspension, clutch flywheel, titanium exhaust, engine rebuild stage 1 to 3 and I've got 420hp. NICE! there's an option to install a supercharger which will come from my 1st race I guess. The video footage on the replay is awesome, very realistic. So at the next meet I'll be bringing my GT5 Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Went to local GAME for midnight opening release and got a Logitech Wheel too With only 11 peeps showing up, the store manager did a raffle and gave away a Signature Edition GT5 for the price of a regular edition, Signature edition is usually £130. Sadly I did not win it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 A decent wheel makes a huge difference to games like this. I'm looking forward to unwrapping my g25 logitech wheel again tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I noticed that the controller I am using is not as good as it used to be in the good old days. I'm guessing a wheel may need to be purchased. The only thing is, if I do that I'll want a nice chair to go with it!! Here comes more cost again!! Looking forward to earning some decent cash tonight, so that I can get my SC and start reducing the weight of the car. I was surprised that within the parts list (apart from PM Zmanalex not being there) there wasn't an option to upgrade the brakes?? Everything else seems to be there, and the wheels option is quite nice, for instance Volks make an appearance, and then there's the body work, all you can do is install a front lip and rear spoiler which sort of mimmicks the Stroesek. No side skirts, no chargespeed, Ings or anything - shame really, although I guess a different game would suit those needs. Purchased my suspension as well last night, so I can't wait to have a play with that!! I'll try and post a video tonight, if not tomorrow - although my iphone for some reason won't record sound at the moment which is VERY ANNOYING! All in all, a great quality game!! Loads of features and nicely put together, feels more connected than in previous version. 9 out of 10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spr1ngy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 hmmmm....... I'm going to go out on a limb here and say...... im slightly disappointed.... 6 years in development for only 200 cars to have been given the "love" treatment.... 800 cars without a cockpit view or high res finish! And why have a bought a well expensive wheel and pedal set-up (ok it was for forza) and polyphony didnt even design a clutch system?!?! Very limited design upgrades/decals/vinyls and NO BRAKE upgrades?!? and dont even get me started on the woeful damage system.... Oh and i thought i would be able to design my own course down to the direction and camber of each corner?? bit misleading. But at times it still blows me away lol, the handling is top notch (which i suppose is all that really matters) and the premium cars are amazing, better graphics than Forza too. and better tracks. I've not been on the top gear test track yet but im sure that will be amazing! You can really tell a marked difference when you upgrade your cars handling and power and so on which is always nice and the photo mode is to die for This game has me so confused! I dont know whether to run around telling people this is the best racing sim ever made or thats its a let down! - but for 6 years in develpment and $60 mil down the swanny - i think polyphony missed the chance to have created one of the greatest games ever....... but im still going to play it till my eyes bleed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Top Gear test track was a bit annoying, great layout, graphics etc, but the "special" race was very slow. The vehicle provided was a VW Camper Van from the 1960's, I really don't think these are racing material. I guess I can chose to race on this circuit a little later on in the game with a car that goes over 55mph!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hmmmmm GT5 just dropped through the letter box. I'm off work and it's snowing outside. What will I be doing today then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
